Plug is experiencing some technical difficulties right now so we might get started a little late. I'll make a post in this thread when we begin, so keep an eye on it.

OK so

Plug totally bit the dust while we were trying to listen to it so we're going to try this again tomorrow night

Saturday, April 4th @ 8:00 PM Eastern time -- The Black Saint & the Sinner Lady

Hope to see you then, and I hope Plug doesn't decide to s*** the bed at that point

Charles is done

Next week we're gonna try this because we're experimenting with lots of different genres right now

This week's album:
Master of Puppets
Metallica
Image
Thrash metal

Master of Puppets is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released
on March 3, 1986 by Elektra Records. Recorded at the Sweet Silence Studios with producer
Flemming Rasmussen, it was the first Metallica album released on a major label. Master of Puppets
is the band's last album to feature bassist Cliff Burton, who died in a bus crash during the album's
promotional tour. The album peaked at number 29 on the Billboard 200 and became the first thrash
metal album to be certified platinum. It was certified 6× platinum by the Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA) in 2003 for shipping six million copies in the United States.

Master of Puppets was released to critical acclaim and has been included in several publications'
best album lists. Its driving, virtuosic music and angry, political lyrics drew praise from critics
outside of the metal community. The album is considered the band's strongest effort of the period,
and is one of the most influential heavy metal albums. Critics credit it for consolidating the American
thrash metal scene with its atmospheric and meticulously performed songs.

I feel like Ride the Lightning is a bit overrated and Justice for All is quite underrated but Master of Puppets deserves to be at the top

Shame they never made any other albums

Great turnout last night, everybody! Had a lot of fun. Hope we can keep that happening.

Next week we're listening to this one:

This week's album:
OK Computer
Radiohead
Image
Alternative rock

OK Computer is the third studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released
in 1997 on Parlophone and Capitol Records. OK Computer was the first self-produced Radiohead
album, with assistance from Nigel Godrich. Radiohead recorded the album in Oxfordshire and Bath
between 1996 and early 1997, with most of the recording completed in the historic mansion St
Catherine's Court. The band made a deliberate attempt to distance themselves from the
guitar-oriented, lyrically introspective style of their previous album, The Bends. OK Computer '​s
abstract lyrics, densely layered sound and wide range of influences laid the groundwork for
Radiohead's later, more experimental work.

Upon the album's delivery to Capitol, label representatives lowered their sales estimates, deeming
the record uncommercial. Nevertheless, OK Computer reached number one on the UK Albums
Chart and became Radiohead's highest album entry on the American charts at the time, debuting
at number 21 on the Billboard 200. The album expanded Radiohead's worldwide popularity and has
sold over eight million copies worldwide to date.

OK Computer received unanimous critical acclaim and has since been cited by critics and
musicians as one of the greatest rock albums of the 1990s. The album initiated a shift away from
the popular Britpop genre of the time to the more melancholic and atmospheric style of alternative
rock that would be prevalent in the next decade. Critics and fans have commented on the
underlying themes found in the lyrics and album artwork, emphasising Radiohead's views on
rampant consumerism, social alienation, emotional isolation, and political malaise; in this capacity,
OK Computer is often interpreted as having prescient insight into the mood of 21st-century life,
and many critics have described it as one of the greatest albums of all time.

In 2015, the album was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library
of Congress and selected for inclusion in the National Recording Registry.


We might spin some of their other records afterward, if we're feelin' it. Come on down & join us!
