Genres: Heavy Metal, Hard Rock

But while those albums are fine, this album is fantastic. "Firth of Fifth" is my favorite song on the album, with a mindfuck of a time signature, switching between odd time signatures effortlessly. This album displays some truly masterful songwriting, and is a fantastic step up ... read more
About
When people ask me what music I listen to, I like to just say "Music that sounds good." My hope is that this page proves that. I have a big passion for music and love all genres, though I do tend to have a bias towards rock music generally.
If you're wondering why my scores don't exactly match my track ratings, it's because I weight songs depending on how long they are compared to the rest of the album when I determine scores.

Very very much a work in progress! I'm trying to listen to every album with at least 10,000 ratings on RYM so this is gonna take some time, and it will never truly be complete. I've only just ...
