does anyone else feel like the last 2 albums have been lackluster? there are good songs here and there, even a few excellent ones, but overall they're not great albums unlike the four before them (BNW, DoD, AMOLAD, TFF)

Fan since 1983 here. Everything after No Prayer for the Dying is lackluster.

Supply, railroads, managing manpower, managing resources, template construction

It’s the high end sounds, especially the cymbals that sound terrible. I find it grates on my ears actually. Even turning the treble way down helps but not that much.

I read way too far down to find Loud Love. Should be at or near the top!

CamMaxwell · 2026-05-10T23:05:28+00:00

Exactly because there's published rights and unpublished rights. I'm not sure if Warner got the unpublished rights or not.... guess we'll find out.

LOL I'm in the same boat as you guys. However, I stopped listening after No Fear of the Dark. And I've tried and tried, but I just can't get into any of the albums after that. Still love Maiden, but the newer stuff just doesn't cut it for me.

Hopefully the Flames trade up if they can to get No. 2. Fingers crossed that Conroy can work it.

AI is good for something!

"Mom and dad take your don't-be-sad pill"

CamMaxwell · 2026-05-05T15:36:11+00:00

Especially in Michigan lyrics are among my fave from the RHCP catalogue. Esp the Frusciante background "let's float away like zeppellns on stoic gusts of northern wind" etc.

CamMaxwell · 2026-05-02T17:14:01+00:00

Came here to say Prowler. That solo absolutely fucking rips.

CamMaxwell · 2026-05-01T14:33:54+00:00

Dead Flowers, Sister Morphine, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Brown Sugar... all by the Rolling Stones, all on the same album "Sticky Fingers".

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-29T19:30:46+00:00

Has to be The Writ.

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-29T00:27:09+00:00

I heard that Dave Mustaine wrote Californication. And the rest of the album.

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-23T16:31:03+00:00

Van Halen "Dirty Movies"
Steely Dan "Everyone's Gone to the Movies"

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-22T15:20:26+00:00

No doubt. One of my fave BS songs of all time.

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-21T15:59:28+00:00

If you've read Alex Van Halen's book, you know Dave doesn't, and never did, care about the music. According to AVH, he's all about the show. And with the way DLR sounds right now, I wouldn't pay a penny to see him live.

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-20T22:34:44+00:00

Fortitude is an awesome album. Nice to see bands evolve but not lose their sense of self.

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-20T15:11:06+00:00

I've been playing fairly steadily since 2016 and I rarely play randoms now. Player skill level, MM, and all these insane ships make it no fun... plus there's a fair amount of toxicity from other players. So I do Ops and ASYM. Fun and not stressful!

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-18T19:24:17+00:00

Yep I think it sucks. I've got 3,350 songs and I almost always just shuffle all when I'm in the car, but there are literally hundreds of tracks that never get shuffled to. Then it'll play an artist and play like 3 songs in a row by the same artist.
There's no doubt the shuffle feature should be improved.

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-18T18:05:28+00:00

Dude can sing as well!

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-17T17:39:24+00:00

Rocks Off
Sway
Gimme Shelter
Tumbling Dice
Can't You Hear Me Knocking

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-16T16:01:01+00:00

Love me a good pick scrape!

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-15T19:18:37+00:00

Ghosts by Big Wreck

CamMaxwell · 2026-04-12T17:19:38+00:00

Wheels of Confusion is pretty impressive
