What Are You Listening to Right Now?

Been jamming to these guys lately and lots of shit that isn't in English for some reason. Shit rocks.

[Captain Russ]

Listened to some of them anyway and they also rule. Kiko or no lol

[Matt]

He's incredible. So nice to find so much to dive into. Finally making it into his Angra stuff and its insane how fast and in tune he is with the other guitarist on some of these tracks. I'll definitely give that era a look soon as well. Thanks for the suggestion Matt!

Ach, got mixed up on my bands. He wasn't in Sonata Arctica.
DISREGARD, NOTHING TO SEE HERE...

[Captain Russ]

Kiko Loureiro is the real deal. His early stuff with Sonata Arctica is worth checking out.

My 2022 Spotify Playlist. It's the same as every other year except 10-20 new songs as per usual. lol. I'm old and stuck in my ways.

After listening to some of the most recent Megadeth I rabbit holed down the past several years of Kiko's toob channel and am consistently blown away by his prowess and his sense of rhythm in his solo works. The little practice session diaries he puts up rule.

Morning Rerb seems to be the most mellow Rerb of the day, which I can kind of sort of usually relate to. Shifting from hardcore angst in the mid-afternoon to mayhem angst by dusk must be quite a sight, lemme tell ya.

I, myself, don't do angst that much, but all the shoegaze/goth stuff I've been listening to lately has put me in a weltschmerz mood before I go home from work.

[Abraham Smashington]

I like to start off the day with tense inspirational lolol

[Timothy225]

Serious lack of angst in your morning music there, Rerb. May want to work on that.

[Abraham Smashington]

also, my 2022 Spotify wrapup was fucking amazingly hilarious in my opinion. Especially the bit about my "audio day"

[Captain Russ]

Opeth is amazing. BLACKWATER PARK is a fantastic achievement and I don't think they've ever topped it.

Hell yeah brother (Ghost Reveries is #2 for me)

Slept on this one when you posted it back in 2021 (I listened to the the one song you posted), but I finally listened to the whole album over the last few weeks and yeah, this shit is fucking fantastic. Just wanted to let you know

[Abraham Smashington]

holy cow is the new Gary Numan track good. Rob, you'd like this.
