Great album this one... I remember a clairvoyant that I liked a lot. Maybe I'll listen to it again.

I've noticed many people write Somewhere IT as their favorite... strange. I've always found it a bit underwhelming. A Piece of Mind or Powerslave have always been much more to my liking. Back then, I even preferred Fear of the Dark.

Today, I often listen only to the first two (unless I feel like revisiting the whole discography... after many years, obviously) and Number, which has some amazing tracks but also a few too many fillers.

Damn... I also got the route back to Piece of Mind because while I was writing, I remembered that it contains The Trooper (unjustifiably my favorite song of theirs).

You've made me want to listen to them again... I miss that, but I really liked the first one a lot back then. I even saw them at an I Love Techno in Belgium, which I have nightmarish memories of for various reasons;
1. I don't do drugs and after two hours of minimal it's torture
2. We left at 7 PM by plane and came back the next day with a flight at 10 AM
3. It was poorly managed... lines for everything with tickets to book in other rooms

But they were a moment of relief, I must say XD

hahahaha.
Great, a review from Debaser of old XD

Great album. I bought it in Tarragona at a little shop alongside a bunch of kraut rock records (which the store was fully stocked with)...well

On paper, the big monster brawls could actually appeal to me.
But I have to say that the whole saga bored me (I haven't seen this one yet), just like Pacific Rim did.
I also get bored with Transformers.
I don't know, sooner or later I'll find a monster movie with brawling that will get me excited.

I don't know, back in the days of Yankee Hotel I bought the album. Cute, but I didn't understand the reason for all that fuss. Compared to a Vivadixie or a Built to Spill, for example, I definitely consider it a lesser album (even if, I repeat, it’s cute). Maybe it wasn't the right album to start with...any other suggestions from them?

Càn cover and name from the early 90s. On the track (obviously the bumper car one) with the Buffalo. XD

Wow, how many Christie’s mysteries have I devoured. I read this one after finishing "7 anime dannate" by Dylan Dog (which is a reworking of it... and maybe it was even the spark that pushed me to read everything I could find by Christie in the library).

Great Pin

I bought this record at Ameba Music in LA; I think my girlfriend still has some photos of me blissfully wandering around that store :D

To be honest, the first time I listened to it, what excited me the most was Eazy E; the record is cool, but like many albums of this kind, it's too lengthy not to get boring.
