You cannot stop the metal

It's been a while since my last post. I recently moved into a new apartment and the lack of

internet access has severely limited my useless web-surfing. I guess it's for the better, and I

doubt anyone really missed my musical musings. Anyway, I realized that I listen to a lot of

heavy music and not a lot of other people do. So this week's episode is a barrage of heavy

rock. Trust me on this one.

First up is the opener from Queens of the Stone Age's Era Vulgaris, their most recent album.

Next is An Ode to No One by an old favorite of mine, The Smashing Pumpkins. That was

actually the first album I ever bought on my own accord, and to this day I'm still proud of

that fact. Next track is Sans Cosm by Sparta, whom I always thought were inferior to the

other half of the disbanded At the Drive in (The Mars Volta), and as of recently I have been

rescinding that opinion. After that is a Tool song, albeit one that does not really represent

them too well. Either way, it's an excellent song. Then there's a track by the holy grail of

metal bands, Mastodon. Not enough can be said about Mastodon, so I won't even begin to

describe how talented they are. The song Megalodon is followed by Only by Nine Inch Nails

who, in my opinion, bear a strange resemblance to LCD Soundsystem, only much darker.

You be the judge. I threw in a Les Claypool song because I felt it fit somehow, even though it

isn't too heavy, more so dark. Blackest Eyes by Porcupine Tree is a great psychedelic metal

song; if you like progressive rock or anything quoteunquote trippy, you'll like that song. The

last song is The Outsider by A Perfect Circle, which is Tool frontman Maynard James

Keenan's short-lived side project. I thought it was a nice way to end the heavy playlist.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!
