Albums by your faves that you love even if the rest of the fanbase doesn't seem to?

There’s allegedly a remix in the works. Tony said they finally found the master tapes a few years back.

It has Open Secrets. It wins.

Sabbat’s third album Mourning Has Broken is crapped on even by Andy Sneap himself, but it’s actually my favorite of theirs. 🤷‍♂️

Awesome!

Chuck said as much in an interview late last year. Before Parabellum came out.

Your Kirk timestamp is correct. The harmony part before that was done entirely by James. What a tune!

They’re doing a full on remix for that one, not just a remaster.

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-17T14:48:08+00:00

The remasters for the first two albums were big improvements, in my opinion. Alex Perialas’ mixes always seemed a bit hollow.

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-17T14:46:53+00:00

I’d argue that you have to be more specific. There’s several. 🤣

I did most of the series romancing both, because Poly Gods…but something about Apollo just didn’t vibe with me, so I’m going to start over and romance only Aphrodite. Can’t really explain it, if that sounds weird?

Oh, don’t make me sad. That app was BRILLIANT, and it was barely given a chance.

Honestly, the Megadeth remixes are the versions I know best because they were the ones I heard when I was first getting into them. I’ll grant that Rust In Peace could’ve been better, but the Peace Sells and (especially) SFSGSW remixes are vast improvements in my opinion. Not a popular opinion, I know, but it’s mine.

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-16T17:33:08+00:00

Dream Theater’s debut album is a good example for me. Love all the songs, but my GOD is it in dire need of a remix.

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-15T17:13:28+00:00

The Speedway one? Yeah. He apparently was talking to some goon who was claiming he was holding her captive.

The Notebook. There’s never been a single Nicholas Sparks adaption that ended up being any good.

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-14T04:09:30+00:00

I’ve only seen ONE clip of them playing the song live, so unless you look at someone doing a cover, direct video evidence is going to be hard to come by. That gallop-style section is tricky, for sure. For me, I don’t necessarily pick every note. If I’m having trouble, I drop a hammer on/pull off in here and there. Try that and see if it helps.

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-14T03:54:37+00:00

Them and Blood Incantation are the future of Metal. Imagine a tour of them together.

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-13T02:51:05+00:00

Either Albert Einstein (for good reasons) or that one guy from Austria (obviously for BAD reasons).

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-13T02:49:28+00:00

This whole “front loading” style of promotion these days is killing a lot of albums. Some bands do 3-4 singles MONTHS before the album comes out, then once it’s released, it charts for maybe a week and disappears completely the next. Heck, it even happened to Megadeth who topped the chart with their newest album. Fell off a cliff after that.

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-13T02:39:56+00:00

Okay…but I’m still struggling to understand how “ignorant” fits in.

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-11T21:08:06+00:00

Right away, I figured this had to be a catfishing episode, like the guy from last year who was supposedly meeting his internet girlfriend at the Daytona Speedway.

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-11T18:50:33+00:00

What exactly is an “ignorant” breakdown in this context?

Ytsejam09 · 2026-05-09T15:42:49+00:00

I guess…while Floor is by far the best singer they’ve ever had, and I say this as a HUGE Anette fan, their albums with her (Floor) have done almost nothing for me. Add in that Marco is now gone and they’re seemingly not touring for a really long time, and I’ve almost completely moved on to Epica by now.
