[349] [completely undecipherable screaming]
Holy shit, I made it! WHY did that week kick my ass so hard? Beats me, but after a BIG SLEEP and a day spent mostly just watching a lot of TV, I am feeling... much, much better. Even if I'm back to calorie counting for a bit and had some pretty horrific, sprawling disaster dreams.
Currently watching the second of the weekend's two Marigold house shows, and then I simply must get in a run and a bath, lest this turn into one of those weeks off where I get nothing whatsoever of substance done.
Wikipedia Sez: Scum is the debut studio album by English grindcore band Napalm Death, released on 1 July 1987 by Earache Records. The two sides of the record were recorded by two different lineups in sessions separated by about a year; the only musician in both incarnations was drummer Mick Harris. The two sides are very different, and the two taken together serve to bridge stylistic elements of heavy metal and punk rock. While the songs on the A-side are influenced heavily by hardcore punk and anarcho-punk, the vocals and lower-tuned electric guitars on the B-side anticipate subsequent developments in extreme metal. Loudwire put it in the list of the best 10 metal albums of 1987.
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Grindcore, Heavy Metal, Death Metal
Release Date: July 1st, 1987
Prior Familiarity: None. That stuff about it basically being made by two different bands is crazy.
What I Did While Listening: Kicked it at the end of the longest day of the longest week, letting the sleepy bitch inside of me finally be allowed to take over. Wait, maybe this is where the horrible disaster dreams came from, actually.
Verdict: Not as bad as I thought it would be! It's from Earache Records, ffs, I was expecting this to be a real chore. This may not be an album I like, but it's one I respect, and for all that it really is just a bunch of goofy screaming and really fast drums/guitar, the fact that it consists of 28 SONGS IN 33 MINUTES makes it hilariously listenable. Don't like what's happening right at this moment? Don't worry, it's over!
Favourite Song: You Suffer, the one that just consists of a single second-long scream lol dudes rock, though honestly, the few real song-length tracks do let them actually start to cook a bit? They are few and far between, though.
Leshia's Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ somehow???
