Today I listened to the entire Ghost discography on shuffle

I didn't want to hear about this band 'til I heard the Roky Erickson's cover  "If You Have Ghost".
It was the big click for me.

So Jack , what do you think about this band ?

So Jack , what do you think about this band ?

I really liked the catchy melodic retro doom vibe of their first album Opus when it came out. Thought it was quite a unique and breath of fresh air at the time despite the influences you could hear in their sound. I saw them live on that first album tour as well and thought they were pretty great.

Then came the follow up album Infestissumam which I found to be on the disappointing side in that most of everything I enjoyed about the debut album was kinda missing in favour of more a popier radio friendly sound.

Meliora was a slow burn for me, initially I didn't like it much either barring a couple songs but it has really grown on me to the point that I think I like it even more than Opus.
Subsequently, I've since rediscovered Infestissumam and like it so much more than I originally did...Year Zero might even be my favourite song of theirs.

I'm not that much into the whole storyline that goes along with Papa and the nameless ghouls but I do appreciate them for their unique and continually evolving style of music. A lot of their songs are as catchy as hell with some really cool & memorable riffs. Great melodies too.

TF is definitely a talent.   

So you could say I'm a fan, but not a devotee. Am very much looking forward to Prequelle though.

Today is the day to take in music only from mr. RONNIE JAMES DIO...

So far been through the first RAINBOW album, STRANGE HIGHWAYS and will carry on with MAGICA soon.

[Jack the Stripper]

You should start a remembering Ronnie thread Charg. I know we never stop remembering him but May 16 in particular is a reflective day and a reminder of how much he was loved and how much he is still missed!

[Scott]

Very much agreed. And for those that know Pagan Altar, May 15th has become a day of remembrance, ever since Terry Jones (vocals) passed away on that date in 2015.

So the past couple of days have seen (well, heard) all things Dio-related and Pagan Altar get an airing.

Great idea guys! Did one now!
