Depeche Mode

Violator

1990

Bought for me for father’s day by @emmjemm07 and @xx_alice05_xx

What an album this is too. Few bands could ever repeat the level of quality DM had throughout the 80s. And they opened up the 90s with an album that made the band household names in the states.

You’d think that this album would have aged. But it still sounds amazingly fresh. Brilliant from start to finish.

Ihsahn

Àmr

2018

I absolutely love this guy. As both the creative genius behind Emperor (the greatest black metal band of all time) and as a solo artist. He has yet to release a bad album. Each one pushing the envelope of progressive metal.

This one has some way harsh metallic sections not least the opener “Lend Me The Eyes Of Millennia” but also some quite astonishing subtle parts too.

It’s up there as one of my albums of the year so far.

Devin Townsend Project

Addicted

2009

After the restrained Ki I knew things were going to be very different the second the opening track exploded.

Addicted is Prog Pop Metal. Something that Devin does very well. In fact most of the DTP albums after this four set run were variations on this theme. Epicloud, Sky Blue and Transcendence all follow in similar tracks with Anneke Van Girsbergen on guest vocals too.

But Addicted had some of Devs finest songs. The reworked Hyperdrive (from Devs first album about Ziltoid) and Supercrush are two outstanding examples. But overall this album is a joy to behold.

Devin Townsend Project

Ki

2009

The first DTP album was an odd one. Striped back, held back, tranquil yet menacing. It was an exercise in restraint.

At times the manic brutality would raise it’s head like on Disruptr but mostly it was held back. It has a swing vibe. Like I say…odd.

Took me quite some time before I started to love it. Now there are some great tracks on here. Particularly Coast.

My very beautiful Eras Vol 1 box set by @dvntownsend arrived today.

Comprised of the first 4 Devin Townsend Project albums.

Ki
Addicted
Deconstruction
Ghost

I don’t own any of them on vinyl. Deconstruction and Ghost have never been on vinyl and Ki and Addicted are quite expensive. So this is win win win.

Anathema

Weather Systems

2012

I’ve said loads about this album before. The fact that it’s in my top 10 of all time says a lot.

A beautifully constructed album of emotionally charged Prog that draws as much from metal as it does rock. Many of the tracks are orchestrated with lush strings as they hit you right in the feels time after time. A masterpiece.

The Sisters Of Mercy

First And Last And Always

1985

Totally forgot to have a goth on for World Goth Day.

So tonight we’re going to make up for it.

How amazing does this album still sound? A quintessential corner stone of gothic rock and one of Leeds most influential bands.

Faith No More

King For A Day…Fool For A Lifetime

1995

Sometimes. Just sometimes. You need Mike Patton and crew to scream at you then sooth you. Then do it again. And again.

Bliss. Still my favourite.

Joy Division

Substance

1988

I’m reading Hooky’s book about Joy Division and I was reminded that I haven’t listened to this collection in quite while. So here it is.

There are some great tracks here. Dead Souls, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Glass and my preference of She’s Lost Control.

Perturbator

The Uncanny Valley

2016

The band that set me down a Synthwave rabbit hole chased by neon lit baddies.

Love this album a lot. It really has a narrative to it. It ebbs and flows beautifully. Great artwork and the vinyl is baby pink.
