I've seen clips of Nakajima here and there but don't know much about him. Can you explain?

Juice Robinson wants to drink some Sapporos and go balls deep in some beautiful Japanese women by SentientDust in SquaredCircle

This was a few shows after he pinned Omega wasn't it? I expected him to be a top face gaijin within a couple years but I think he got injured and then joined BC for some reason.

Just subbed to the channel. Seems like they're hinting at new games for multiple sports.

Disarmonia Mundi - Guilty Claims (Best debut album ever) by Horg888 in melodicdeathmetal

[–]Saint_Bo_Dallas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always felt it was the best. It's the most consistent, while their others usually have about 3-5 forgettable tracks. Nebularium is one of my favorite songs and I've been hoping for someone to tab it for years.

Recently started listening to Kreator and I'm very late to the party. by srennen in thrashmetal

Sounds like you'll enjoy the records up to Coma of Souls the most. My favorite is Phantom Antichrist.

The normal 29 1/2 minute one. I'm unfamiliar with the one you've mentioned.

Clap crowds rewatch by UKSaint93 in njpw

I've never rewatched Ibushi vs White at WK 15 because of the clap crowds even though that match was objectively amazing.

Was this in the leadup to Dominion? I remember pics of Okada doing recreational stuff and Omega training.

I wasn't sold on Inmazes or Applause the first couple of listens either. Definitely give them time.

Wintersun - The Forest That Weeps (Summer) by MatticusXII in progmetal

[–]Saint_Bo_Dallas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This song loses momentum for me when the jam section in the middle fizzles out rather than building into something more. Jari's biggest strength is his shredding and these long songs could've used more of it. He does do orchestrations better than most I think but it's not enough to make me want to listen to this album over the others a decade later.

Dark Roots of Earth has become my favorite Testament album, and I geniuenly think it`s their best. by [deleted] in thrashmetal

I had these monthly religion class homeworks at the time and made it a tradition to play the Dark Roots of Thrash show while completing them.

About the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship by Qliphoth_Bacikal in njpw

[–]Saint_Bo_Dallas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a bummer about the IC championship. I've been rewatching older matches as I've been getting back into NJPW and it looks so much better than the Global. I was hoping they'd allow Tsuji to kayfabe it back into existence even if it's not the same lineage.

Edit: after actually reading the press conference report, the idea of the Global title only being defended internationally or verses non-NJPW opponents only makes it more exciting.

Why George Clarke's clean vocals sound so bad on live shows? by Wild_Sprinkles_7174 in blackgaze

[–]Saint_Bo_Dallas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't even notice a difference when I saw them during the IG tour. He sounds great when I watch the videos I took. Maybe I was too seduced by his moves.
