The Aquabats - Finally! : culmination of their discography that feels like a homage to their various styles.



P.O.D. - VERITAS : return to roots with a loaded album front to back of heavy anthems.


Linkin Park - From Zero : surprise release with a new lead vocalist that has lots of nostalgia influcence on each track.


Seether - The Surface Seems So Far : continuation of the heavy metal style with touches of ambiance.


A few honorable mentions from Project 86 - OMNI, Pt.2 dystopian technocratic concept album, besides Static-X - Project Regeneration Vol. 2 which had a handful of unreleased songs, Stryper - When We Were Kings, A Killer's Confession - Victim 1, Galneryus - The Stars Will Light The Way, and The Browning - OMNI new albums.

Personally I was disappointed by two of my favorite artists Mushroomhead - Call the Devil, and KMFDM - Let Go. Looking forward to upcoming releases in 2025 from: Korn, Staind, Weezer, Limp Bizkit, Tetrarch, Julien-K, 40 Below Summer, A Killer's Confession, Omerta, and Jeffrey Nothing (Doom Candy project).

Staind - Confession of the Fallen : After a decade a new album that has all the hallmarks of the classic band.

Sevendust - Truth Killer : Another solid release this time with subtle touches of dark electronica tossed in the mix.


Godsmack - Lighting Up the Sky : Return to form bringing back the gritty sound the band is known for.

General / Re: What Are Your Top (Four) Consoles Right Now And Why?

« on: August 23, 2023, 09:26:31 pm »

Top 4 consoles right now that I have been playing the past months:

1. Sega Saturn
2. Wii U
3. 3DO Interactive Multiplayer
4. PS4

I've been slowly working through completing my favorite games on my favorite system SAT and logging them in my blog. It's been a trip re-visisting or sometimes discovering new experiences whether it would be from Mystaria / Blazing Heroes, A.M.O.K, or Clockwork Knight. My biggest time investment was playing 3DO library, and completing several games in the process. My favorite game on that system would be Guardian War (Powers Kingdom). PS4 and Wii + Wii U for casual 'modern' games such as The King of Fighters XV, Street Fighter 6, New Super Luigi U, and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz.

My all-time top 4 favorite consoles would be:

1. Sega Saturn
2. SNES
3. PC Engine
4. Dreamcast

I've played plenty of SNES, PCE, and DC games in the past enjoyed them immensely. Arcade conversions, system exclusives, fan-translated projects or games from the homebrew scene. Honorable mention is PS1 and NES.
