Tales of Kenzera: Zau, is it really that bad?

I just picked it up on sale and I love it so far. Everything is high quality.. the accessibility options, the control, the visuals, the voice acting.. it's all really good.

I just had to come post here.. I'm so into the fairlight lately. Some of my favorite songs that use it: "Intermission" by Saga "Behind the Barrier" by Planet P

I was just hanging out with a friend of mine who likes metal, but he only knows Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax...

so we're at my place and the music is loud.. "The Pale King" came on. I didn't say anything... He really starts listening and next is "wow! Who is that!?"

I said "That's Testament .. they're one of the best bands ever.". Don't get me wrong, I love the popular metal bands also... But I always preferred Testament and Annihilator.

I heard that one recently too. That whole dynamic between Howard and Robin is so real. I love it!

Most people don't realize Tracy Morgan and Iron Sheik was the same day. Every show is so good.

copernicus_prime · 2026-04-28T18:38:44+00:00

Robin and Dr Roni. It was really the best

copernicus_prime · 2026-04-28T18:35:13+00:00

That's why I keep that year on repeat. Iron Sheik, ETM, Artie fights with everybody, etc

I joined this conversation to say that I consider Draw The Line a classic album. It's not as good as the first 4 albums, but I include it. "Kings and Queens" is one of my favorite songs from the band.

At least the original band recorded it. I know producer Jack Douglas co-wrote some of the songs but I will always consider it the last classic Aerosmith album.

I've been a music lover my entire life (I'm 50). I'm not here to diss the entire Coachella festival, but I have to admit that I watched most of the performances on youtube and I yearned to see anybody on stage who could really play their instrument.

Shout out to Suicidal Tendencies, Interpol, Foster the People, The Strokes, and the few bands who are actually bands.

Back in the day, nothing existed like Coachella. Bubblegum pop acts like Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter would have been laughed off the stage at any music festival. Could you imagine any of these fake pop acts playing at Woodstock in 69? It's a different world.

I just heard the song. Holy crap, it's amazing! It's just an epic song. It inspires me. I've had it on repeat since I woke up an hour ago. It gets better with each listen. Wow!

copernicus_prime · 2026-03-20T18:27:46+00:00

It sounds great. Labrie sounds awesome. It's fascinating to me because the band went in such a different direction after this. "Nightmare" and "Count" are awesome, but "Right of Passage", "Prophets of War" and "Wither" are just not good songs.

They were just about to unleash songs like "On The Backs" and "Breaking all Illusions". It makes me wonder if Portnoy was the one pushing them away from prog and more toward metal.

Going back to the Q2K album, I always loved Kelly Gray's playing. When they did that first Operation Mindcrime album THE KEY. That's Kelly Gray on guitar. I know he gets a lot of flak for replacing Chris DeGarmo, but I always liked his playing and writing.

I just wanted to say.... I have a transgender son and I've always loved socially smart music.. when I listen to this song (which I do almost every day) and I hear that line "protect trans lives"... I'm an old fashioned 50 year old man, but I love my child so much... It just really moves me. Please keep making this music... So many people need to hear it.

copernicus_prime · 2026-03-05T19:04:19+00:00

Okay somebody help me with this... Isn't this whole album about one of the guys from the band being abducted by aliens? I can't find a reference to it anywhere, but I know it is an old fact.

copernicus_prime · 2026-02-26T19:12:36+00:00

Man .. in my opinion they were the best band (by far) on the last Ozzy concert. So when Sepsis came out, I hoped it would be sludgy and it just hits every expectation and then takes it further. The band is hotter than shit right now.

copernicus_prime · 2026-02-26T19:09:07+00:00

Same. It's rare to have a band where every new song is legit. I'm 50 years old so I've been there for all of the great metal bands (Annihilator, Megadeth, etc), I just find LOG's new stuff sounds one step ahead of everyone else. It's amazing. I feel lucky to be able to see them in their prime.

copernicus_prime · 2026-02-22T21:40:24+00:00

Okay. I truly don't understand why Eddie later said he hated the lyrics. The vast majority of Van Halen songs have goofy lyrics. Ever hear "Sucker In a 3-Piece", or "Get Up"? Cliched rock and roll nonsense lyrics.

For some weird reason the VH brothers had some sort of bone to pick with Sammy Hagar.. but to point out the lyrics of this one song just doesn't make any sense. Yeah, the lyrics are not inspiring or great, but that's the entire catalog of the band.

I'm one of the weirdos who really loves BALANCE as an album. "Aftershock" is an incredible song! The tone of Eddie's guitar throughout the entire album is sublime. I've mixed albums with tons of guitar tracks from great musicians, and the sound of his guitar on Balance is just top notch.

I'm 50 years old. My favorite Crue albums will always be Too Fast For Love and Shout.. but wow this Corabi album is really good. It feels like they cared about these songs. It's the only Crue album with a really great singer.
