A Life Changing Episode?
Yeah, probably not. We have some solid albums this week – including a beast of a Death Metal album (yeah, still keeping that rolling) – but we’re not sure any of them are “life changing.” However, we do discuss some albums that were game changers for us, and we invite you to discuss some of yours!
Reviews:
TesseracT – Sonder (Kscope)
Yashira – Shrine (Good Fight)
Unravel – Eras of Forfeit (Life. Liar. Regret.)

I have no problem thinking of 10 albums that changed my life. Some of mine fall into the category of introducing me to the concept of a genre, which includes more than metal. Part of “changing my life” has to do with the fact that I’ve actually gone in and out of listening to metal a couple of times in my life. Here they are in the chronological order that I listened to them:
Def Leppard – Pyromania
Iron Maiden – Somewhere In Time
Run DMC – Raising Hell
John Williams – Star Wars soundtrack
Metallica – And Justice For All
Beastie Boys – Paul’s Boutique
Pink Floyd – The Wall
Nirvana – Nevermind
Iron Maiden – Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Opeth – Ghost Reveries
What’s so funny about Hootie and the Blowfish? Believe it or not, when Hootie first came out, they were picked up by the alternative pop/rock crowd. Then 2 months later we in the “alternative” crowd disowned them once they got played to death on adult soft rock radio. But for about 2 months in 1994, Hootie and the Blowfish were cool.
With a 3 and a 5 five for TesseracT, I’m still not sure if I want to buy it or not. And the song you played didn’t do anything to convince me to buy the album. I think there simply might be too much other new music I want to listen to right now, such as the new Sleep album.
