Y'know what's funny? The first time I watched The Dark Knight was years after release. I had seen Batman Begins and enjoyed it. But I didn't watch Dark Knight until long after everyone kept harping at me that I should watch it. I watched it when I was ready to see it. I loved it. But I was also not under the pressure of "you HAVE to see this movie YOU will LOVE it". Preconceptions were gone. I just decided one day, oh hey I'm in the mood to finally see this. It worked out well that way.

You fucking crazy man. You crazy.

Seriously though, I don’t think every album in the GOOD Music summer series necessarily deserves a “drop everything!” response, BUT... you’re just not the NR I know and love if you have no plans to listen to “Ye” and “Kids See Ghosts.”

Do me a favor and just listen THREE tracks from these two EPs. Pop open Spotify and listen to KSG’s “Feel the Love” and “4th Dimension,” and then listen to Kanye’s “Ghost Town.” Just those. That’s all I ask. If you don’t do it u a bitch.

Feeling extra giving? Listen to “Infrared” from Daytona. And maybe “Cop Shoots Kid” from Nasir.

Will put you in mood.

Ain’t no pressure just if u don’t u a bitch.

That shit about Dark Knight I kinda get... at least for someone who’s not a Batman fan, or someone who assumed it was going to be just another superhero movie like Iron Man and the (blech) Hulk (Ang Lee). But you’re a Batfan and you knew it was going to be the effing ess because you saw Begins. For shame

Perturbator.

I have been playing this record at least twice a day for the past two months. It's perfect from start to finish.

Yeah, I've had that one for a number of years myself. Very grateful for the Acme reissue series, because Originals of that are over four figures. That is indeed a great summer listening experience.

1. I don’t spam.

2. You say shut the fuck up; I say shut the fuck up back, and I’m a developmentally stunted child? Cool reasoning bruh

3. Hey I have an idea! Why don’t you complain some more? ;) xo

I'm pretty sure I downloaded this record before when blogs used to post any sort of obscure stuff, but stupidly never gave it a proper listen. Thank God for reissues and Discogs. I'm skint at the moment, but this record I really needed to own. I only found out about it properly because of a track by Peter Howell on a Jonny Trunk compilation. Further readings on who he is lead me to it and now I'm hooked for good. A good summer listening experience indeed.

Polvo - In Prism

Second only to 'Todays Active Lifestyles', IMO.

"Beggars Bowl" is tits, but I don't see how Exploded Drawings isn't second place. (If they had trimmed it, it would be first place and a record everyone would own.)

I take it Celebrate the New Dark Age is considered an EP?

On Beggar's Bowl now, love it.
Active Lifestyles just "hits the spot" for me. Honestly though Ive only listened to Exploding Drawings a handful of times, so I don't know it as well.

Candlemass - Nightfall

Sometimes being tasteful is the wrong choice. This record wouldn't be so great if it wasn't excessive and a bit ridiculous. Same applies to Mercyful Fate.

Wonderful stuff!

Everyone raves about Epicus (which is admittedly great) but I actually prefer Nightfall. Less of a statement, maybe, but just a better collection of songs.

Messiah Marcolin is surely one of the truly great, and defining, metal front men.
