the shitty growl vocals they throw into some tracks are absolutely horrid

29 Jun 2023: Queensryche/"Operation: Mindcrime II" (2006)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2023/06/you-cant-think-that-word.html

a lot of filler tracks here for the "story" or whatever
they have a woman on track 13 and it's not great
it's 17 tracks and easily could have been pared down to 10 or 8

01 Jul 2023: Metallica/"Ride the Lightning" (1984) [revisited]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2023/07/ride-lightning-revisited.html

the album opens with fight fire with fire, which is legitimately one of the worst songs on metallica's first three albums
no idea why they didn't simply open with the title track; it's not the best song on the album, but it's pretty good
OR BETTER YET, start with for whom the bell tolls; it would have been a perfect opener

trapped under ice was a 10/10 choice for guitar hero world tour, and i will hear no arguments

03 Jul 2023: Maximo Park/"Too Much Information" (2014)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2023/07/running-through-my-brain.html

the album where the band eschews rock to play slower boring songs instead

04 Jul 2023: Elegant Weapons/"Horns for a Halo" (2023)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2023/07/witty-retordt_4.html

a supergroup featuring the replacement musicians from various hard rock/heavy metal bands
shame the name "the replacements" was already taken

the guy who replaced graham bonnet in rainbow
the guy who replaced kk downing in judas priest
but it's got the original bassist from pantera, so that's something

naming the album after its worst track was a bold choice

05 Jul 2023: The Sleeping/"Questions and Answers" (2006)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2023/07/witty-retordt_5.html

the first track, don't hold back, was, of course, in GH3
one sentence, four commas

the sixth track, mr. song, is a misplaced b-52s track

no, i do not know if this band's name is an intentional harry potter reference
it's hard to tell with bands from non-english-speaking countries
