"icicle" is a weird word to type, especially near to "bicycle"

http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/09/not-likely.html

peace would be a lot easier if other countries and cultures weren't so eager to fight us

27 Sep 2021: Danko Jones/"We Sweat Blood" (2003)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/09/its-extemely-painful.html

01 Oct 2021: Queens of the Stone Age/"Lullabies to Paralyze" (2005) [revisited]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/10/lullabies-to-paralyze-and-era-vulgaris.html

i legitimately thought medication was on rated R
broken box is underrated
overall better than i remembered but i mean it's following up songs for the deaf so you can forgive me for underrating it a bit



03 Oct 2021: Queens of the Stone Age/"Era Vulgaris" (2007) [revisited]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/10/lullabies-to-paralyze-and-era-vulgaris.html

i always liked the two lightbulb guys
opening with turnin on the screw was an awful decision
closing with run pig run was an awful decision (europe didn't have to suffer like this)
in europe, you close with the title track
WHY THE FUCK ISN'T THE TITLE TRACK ON THE AMERICAN VERSION
IT'S TOP THREE HERE EASILY

if you bought this album after hearing 3 is and 7 is and make it wit chu, i imagine you'd be pretty disgruntled after hearing the rest of the album
i don't know how you could possibly remain gruntled, honestly
the classic album approach of "write two good singles, put the third good song as a b-side, and FUCK the rest"
worse than i remembered

02 Oct 2021: Grande Royale/"Take it Easy" (2019)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/10/seven-women.html

a sequel to a 4.5 album, one of the best albums from last month
it's probably bad

the third track is really bad
how do you fuck up this bad

03 Oct 2021: Marvel/"Five Smell City" (2005)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/10/five-kinds-of-bagels.html

another group that got a 4.5 last month where i'm sure we'll have a bad time today
we didn't
it's good

04 Oct 2021: The Ataris/"So Long, Astoria" (2003)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/10/goodbye-forever.html

the highlight is the cover of boys of summer, which may be better than the original

05 Oct 2021: Hot Snakes/"Jericho Sirens" (2018)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/10/witty-retordt.html

06 Oct 2021: The Hellacopters/"Rock and Roll is Dead" (2005)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/10/may-it-rip.html

so this reminded me
i'm in the band was in GH3
why though
even on this album, they have so many better songs for the game
i ignored this band for fourteen years because neversoft chose such a shit song for them in GH3

i was going through the entire setlist of every GH game and i specifically skipped this band because the song neversoft chose is gay as hell
it's upsetting

when this album is at it's worst, it's
fine

12 Oct 2021: My Chemical Romance/"Life on the Murder Scene" (2006)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/10/its-better-than-youd-think.html

a live album from the same year the black parade came out

there are also two demos and one new track here
