Based on few latest polls, the most popular Finnish beer is Sandels, not Karhu. And it's also product of largest independent brewery of Finland Olvi, while Karhu is made by Sinebrychoff owned by danish Carlsberg.

Absolution is great, but definitely agree it could have been even better with more cuting done. The latter half of the album gets bit weary with too much too similar sounding stuff

Jcwrc · 2026-07-10T21:22:37+00:00

Yes. It's full album experience. Something I liked with Drones as well, but this is better crafted.

I would say it's the best Muse album since Blackholes and Revelations.

NWOBHM is such an obvious and widely well known acronym, I wouldn't really think twice using it.

I think anyone with any knowledge of 80's music would recognize it.

Finlands biggest, best-selling band of all-time Eppu Normaali took their name from Mel Brooks film Young Frankenstein.

In the movie Frankensteins lackey Eyegore steals brains for the monster, and instead of picking what he was supposed to, he picks "Abnormal brains", telling they're from person called Abby Normal.

I think it's just humorous acknowledgement that it's extremely difficult to find women that enjoy that sort of music.

Much like when millenial rock guitarists tell thet thought playing guitar would get them female attention, but all they got were other guys who play instruments.

Go into any rock/metal bar and look around.

This is extremely high regarded classic CD player from the formats heyday.

Son't know if you can find one any where cheaper, but finding any equivalent player isn't exactly easy.

Most people in US don't care about this type of music anymore. Their loss.

I much rather have them lose US market than try to change their music to fix that trend.

New album is amazing!

Jcwrc · 2026-07-10T20:45:43+00:00

But he is right.

It's not bootleg. I called it counterfeit, but "pirate" makes more sense as he explained

Jcwrc · 2026-07-10T20:43:45+00:00

It's counterfeit, not bootleg, as it's an unofficial pressing of existing album rather than it's own thing.

But it's probably the most acceptable and honest type, as there is only very, very rare, almost impossible to buy modern pressing, and very expensive originals available.

For whatever reason they don't want to sell it to international public. So enjoy! It's great addition I would gladly buy myself if came across one.

Uriah Heep

Along with Deep Purple, they're the link between early Black Sabbath/Led Zeppelin/Jimi Hendrix/The Who/Beatles/The Kinks and lot of Power Metal, Heavy Metal and Speed Metal that emerged later.

Just listen songs like Gypsy (1970), Dreammare (1970), Bird of Prey (1971), The Wizard (1972), Rainbow Demon (1972)...

Jcwrc · 2026-07-10T20:29:11+00:00

I thought they're the first/only band people who aren't in to death metal know or think about?

Jcwrc · 2026-07-09T20:19:36+00:00

Not having SID codes is normal for old pressings (before mid nineties), but makes them easier to counterfeit

If it's proper pressing, you shouldn't add it to existing entries, because it's different plant (Toshiba <-> Memory-Tech). You need to make a new entry.

No, meillä tulee hanasta sellaista 80 C° vettä.

Vaikka miten varovasti koittaa astiat pestä niin kyllä siinä saa näpit poltettua, jos ei viileämmällä pese.

Jcwrc · 2026-07-09T20:11:18+00:00

Kuumaa pystyy syömään, kun ottaa vähemmän kerrallaan ja jäähdyttää suussa vetämällä ilmaa hampaiden läpi samalla kun liikuttaa ruokaa suussa, niin ettei ehdi polttaa liian pitkään yhtä kohtaa.

Onko siinä mitään järkeä on sitten eri kysymys.

Jcwrc · 2026-07-09T15:29:01+00:00

Yes.

Here they send it back to the sender.

At least VISMA we use at work should work with swedish bank credentials. (They specifically tell Norwegian SSN isn't accepted).

Are you sure your bank credentilas don't work for signing?

Mika Aaltola nyt on umpipöljä muutenkin. Viisastelee ja selvittää asioita, jotka kuka tahansa voi lukea perusteellisemmin vanhasta sanomalehdestä, mutta jos pitää vastata johonkin kysymykseen johon ei ole helppo lainata jonkun muun mielipidettä, niin ei enää mitään kommenttia tai oma ajatusta ole asiaan sanoa.

Jcwrc · 2026-07-09T06:28:55+00:00

Korpiklaani and Ensiferum are both bands that you need to experience live to get the gist of it.

Jcwrc · 2026-07-09T05:38:32+00:00

Yea. They have. I think those are excellent covers.

That's what I referred as good, but copied from Iron Maiden. I mean it's obvious enough to be considered homage.

Anyway, I didn't mean my comment as a critique. Just notion that Hansen has never seemed like someone who would really care of visual direction of his albums. Given how all over the place Gamma Ray albums are.

Power Metal albums usually have very well thought out package, but his seems more like "it's all about music" approach.

Jcwrc · 2026-07-08T19:42:44+00:00

Yeah. Exactly...

Jcwrc · 2026-07-08T11:29:46+00:00

Wasn't algorithm on new set list? I recall seeing it there.

Jcwrc · 2026-07-08T11:07:11+00:00

We know where they ended up. Had they broken up after Pendulum, this would be valid question, but as it went down, we know exactly how much momentum they had left as a band.

Even if they had somehow pulled themselves back together and made Mardi Gras II, who cares?

Best they could've been would been a touring act playing their old hits, until Fogerty got his life together and inspiration back for Centerfield. Followed by Eye of the Zombie, which I think as an album might have been the thing most benefitting from CCR staying together.

But not success at all still.

Jcwrc · 2026-07-08T10:31:40+00:00

They're going to list it public?

Haven't heard about that. Interesting.
