Bulbous Creation - You Won't Remember Dying (1970)

-Psychedelic Acid Rock

My Ratings: 77.781
-Rank: 432 (out of 2374)
-Median: 76.5
-Range: 15.0

Best Track: Hooked [85.0]

These guys wrote some songs but split up kind of like the band I was in. 24 years later somebody discovered some tapes and made a bootleg album. Glad they did because there are some great songs that otherwise would of never been heard!!!! "Hooked" definitely has a Donovan's "The Season of the Witch" vibe going on.......

Megadeth - The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead! (2022)

- Thrash Metal

My Ratings: 71.553
-Rank: 1769 (out of 2375)
-Median: 72.0
-Range: 12.6

Best Track: We'll Be Back [77.6]

Their last album was great so I was eager to hear this one and boy it disappointed. Only 1 of the 12 tracks made my playlist and that is because in parts it sounded like "The Conjuring". This one ranks near the bottom of the Megadeth discography for me. Likely won't listen to it again......

Best Track: Pandemonium [78.0]

Old school sounding metal that started out decent but as it went on the vocals just did not do it for me. Overall, I did not care for this album.

Best Track: Tyrant [85.0]

Former members of Venom on this one. Black Metal? Not really... more like old school Speed Metal with some Thrash grooves. Liked all 12 tracks with 6 of them going on my playlist. They have a previous album that I will need to check out.

Best Track: Service for a Vacant Coffin [74.6]

Was tricked into listening to this one as it was disguised as there new release..... anyhow, by the time I figured it out I was too deep in to stop. This was really sounding old school and that is because it was... lol..... Very raw, liked half the tracks.

Some decent music but it really was just a bunch of musicians on drugs jamming. It did give us one of the most (in)famous album covers in the history of rock.

I used to live in Europe when I was a small child so that album cover wasn't too shocking for me.... heck, living near the ocean and beach we all ran around like that back in those days but I don't really understand the message or what it was suppose to mean...... maybe I needed those drugs to understand.... lol.

Best Track: Crucified [82.0]

Liked all the tracks with most of them making my playlist. Only issue it seemed that the production values weren't that great..... maybe intentional to get a more "older sounding" feel....

My Ratings: 72.680
-Rank: 1540 (out of 2395)
-Median: 72.8

Best Track: Hey You [79.6]

Liked 6 of the 10 tracks and nothing to me sounded great on first listen. My problem with this album is just about every chorus on each song was sung pretty much the same and I just didn't care for it. I have now heard 5 albums from them, I believe they have 8..... Saw them a long time ago before they had any albums out yet and I was hoping that they would not become popular as I liked the raw cut sound they originally had.....

Best Track: Merged in Dreams [79.2]

This follow up to "Omens" stays the course of being very proggy. This one I liked much better than the last and like it 3rd best of the 6 I have heard.

Best Track: The Malevolent God [76.0]

New singer, not sure how I feel about that but I only liked 3 of the 8 tracks. Not as proggy as I thought it would be. Some small bits of black metal mixed in. Liked the older stuff much better.

Best Track: In April Darkness [77.0]

Sounds like a depressing dream state motionless place. Sort of Drone like at times..... Have not heard the first part of this trilogy and will have to one day. 3rd album I have heard from this Dutch doom band and this one is ranks right in the middle.

Destroyer 666 - Never Surrender (2022)

My Ratings: 73.757
-Rank: 1281 (out of 2400)
-Median: 73.6
-Range: 7.4

Best Track: Never Surrender [76.4]

"DESTRÖYER 666 continue to do what they are best at: kicking and hammering out heavy metal that is slamming straight into the face. No compromise, no sell out, no !"

I'll agree with the quote above. This for me was a middle of the pack album by them. No tracks made my playlist.... liked 8 of the 9.
