Are you saying Land of Rape and Honey and The Mind is a Terrible Thing are bad albums? Those are the best ones. I do dig Revenge as far as their non metallic output goes.

What is this pop album by Cornell? Maybe I'm fucked up. :lol:
If Euphoria Morning is what you're thinking, it came out in 1998 or 1999 IIRC. ~2 years after Soundgarden broke up, and ~7 years after TOD.

I like some of Turbo :whistle:

Actually; you could take about 1/2 of Turbo and blend it with about 1/3-1/2 of Ram it Down and have a pretty good album.

I'm having trouble coming up with anything. It's like the conversation on trainspotting.

You lose the "it" factor, and your stuff is just shit.

There is no coming back in most cases.

Except, Kylie Minogue, maybe? Star Wars episode 7?

Rush. Their mid to late 80s stuff was pretty bad. Counterparts was a good start in returning to form, and by Vapor Trails they were excellent again.

Not that they cheesed out, but I thought RHCP came back nicely with Californication after One Hot Minute with Navarro didn't exactly work out.

I think OHM is better than Cali. :(

Navarro was awesome with RCHP. :(

Maybe I was just the right age when that came out.

I would agree with Priest. The 80s was a mostly shit decade for them. Downhill hard and fast after British Steel, with the deepest valley being Turbo, and a majestic rise in Painkiller. The Ripper Owens era stuff isn't bad either, but a lot more "Nu-Priest" when compared to Painkiller and Angel of Retribution.

1980 was a great year for Sabbath and Ozzy, both climbing out of the shit-heap that was everything after Sabotage.


I'm sure I will think of others later...

Whenever One Hot Minute is mentioned I know you will be along shortly.

I don't mind some of the One Second era stuff I've heard from Paradise Lost, but it wasn't exactly the most popular transition.

Valid point. Especially if it would wipe Parental Guidance and that awful Johnny B. Goode cover out of existence.

And Angel of Retribution has about as much throwaway stuff as the Ripper albums did. (Well, I'd at least put Jugulator and Angel of Retribution on par with each other. Demolition....eh, yeah, not great.)

:lol:

Maybe a long EP then :party: Turbo, Locked In, Out in the Cold and Reckless are all great. Ram it Down, Blood Red Skies, Hard as Iron are awesome. Come and Get It, Heavy Metal and I'm a Rocker are good if you ignore the sh!t lyrics. Zero f**ks given. If you guys want to listen to Living After Midnight for another 40 years :hug: :x :cop: :lol: ; have at it :sick:

There is so much truth to this statement right here. Definitely shapes how we appreciate eras of whatever band is in question.
