What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

Where are you getting your suggestions from, Ed? There is a lot of crap in the world of metal but that is true for all genres of music. I'd say at least 75% of all music out there is horrible, metal or otherwise. But that other 25% is really good and worth seeking out.

Where ever I can find free albums to listen to without having to download. Currently AOL, Spinner and cdsonlinefree. I'll take any suggestions, but they have to be entire albums with no download required and free. Just those 3 sites keep me busy for the week.
thanks Jon

Straight Line Stitch - When Skies Wash Ashore


It's okay, I guess. Not really feeling it right now.

Debut album metal/core and side project of Psychostick. Never heard of them, but they are called a humor/core band. Now that's a new one. This is supposed to be their more serious side. Drummer Alex Preiss takes charge of the writing. Out of my league here.

One of my roommates is the bass player for this band. I like him a lot. He's an awesome guy. His band is not really my thing.

Christian death metal band formed in late 80's in Arkansas. Disbanded in 2005 only to reform with only 2 original members for this album, their 7th. Mom said if you can't say something nice...............but she's gone now, so this sucks. The last track has some nice mellow guitar and strings to start out.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - pick one

Best Track - Apostasy

You have a new way
Is it a better way?
Once I saw you proclaim
Now there's slight disdain
Why keep that title, what has changed? Is God so different?
Why keep that title, what has changed? Is He not the same?

Love is present, grace abounds
What happened here? Was the world so enticing?
Denial is treachery hard to reconcile
Call it for what it really is
Don't make excuses
Call it for what it really is
Go ahead apostasy

Tepid waters do not run
Stagnation breeds disease
Flies surround
Multiply maggot parasites
Why keep that title? Why redefine?
Lord of the flies
Apostasy, Apostasy

Love is present, grace abounds
What happened here? Was the world so enticing?
Denial is treachery hard to reconcile
Call it for what it really is
Don't make excuses
Call it for what it really is
Go ahead apostasy

Do not conform to one man
God is clear on who you are
Love, grace and mercy are there
Do not pretend apostasy

I'm afraid you're never gonna find any good albums on those sites.

Ahab - Ahab's Oath

[Music Head]

I find them all the time.

They cover all genres.

I'm the first to admit this is not my favorite type of music. That doesn't stop me from listening. That's how I know if like something. I listen to it.
