Just been listening to the Rise Above sampler with this month's Classic Rock. I assumed Ghost would be some shitty doom band but, apart from the nasty guitar sound I was pleasantly surprised...kind of like Blue Oyster Cult jamming with Mercyful Fate. New Blood Ceremony sounds cool, Gents Pistols are kicking arse but Electric Wizard...why do people rave about them? Do they not listen to their records before they release them and realise how shitty they sound?
Heresy- Peel Sessions
Circle Jerks- Group Sex
Dicks- 1980- 1986 CD
Rapeman- Two Nuns and a Pack Mule (possibly the high point of Steve Albini's long career)
I've been assured it's worth the effort to listen to this, but I'm starting to think my walk to work is not the right time to try. I've only got through the first 5 tracks (of 16) in 2 days. Epic stuff.
