QWERTY lobbying going strong!

It's time. Qwerty.

Really sad to see a member of the community pass away, and someone who contributed this much. Rest in Peace.

I'm going to play grandpa and say shows without excessive loud volume are a nice change of pace. Of course it has to be a minimum immersive as well, it's all a matter of balance. But believe me when I say, you don't want permanent hearing damage. It can turn your life upside down, and one single excessive concert without adequate protections may be enough. That was it, my grandpa moment, not going to stir it up further 😇

Awesome post!! Well done @JZLP-Benningstrong

From Zero is a banger album, and rejuvenated my love for LP, while OML had kinda lost me a bit. Just my personal 2 cents ^^

Mike in Casualty is quite the beast! Lots of fun stuff to discover in here.

Couldn't say it better.

Also had a new listen after a 3 weeks break, and I loved every second of it. Casualty, Overflow, and IGYEIH are my favorite, but everything is pretty good. The record has an infectious energy from start to finish, the hooks are all solid, and every track has a small "pay-off/ climax" moment. I can't wait to hear more of the tunes they made during those sessions, it is pretty clear they were very selective with the final tracklist, and that means we are in for more treats, at least at some point!

That's absolutely wild, if confirmed. The audience for this is beyond anything they've ever done.

HT is getting 25 next year, and FZ references the early days. Makes me dream of Carousel Part of Me From the new album Cut The Bridge Overflow IGYEIH From previous albums No More Sorrow Wretches and Kings Keys to the Kingdom Other High Voltage (2000 version) Qwerty

This is golden stuff right here. I really wish I could hear Ashes in full, although it's unlikely ever to happen.

Interesting! My 2 cents : Cut The Bridge - Underrated Casualty - Underrated Two Faced - Overrated Good Things Go - Overrated Otherwise, solid. I think Casualty is more interesting than Two Faced by quite a margin for example, but it appears I'll be in a strict minority on that one.

I love CTB and I also think GTG is slightly overrated. Really good track, but with a slight melodramatic edge to it - I know that's weird to say considering we're discussing LP, ah - and with a standard mid-tempo pop-rock chorus, albeit embellished with high notes. My current top 3 would probably be TEM, Overflow, IGYEIH, with Casualty right behind. GTG probably lands on 5.

Heavy is honestly a pretty decent-good track that got a lot of shit probably because of LP embracing a full-on pop sound. I largely prefer it over tracks like TTM or Battle Symphony. Especially TTM, can't stand that one anymore

Good Things Go

I know it's in for the win, but one can try. Good Things Go

Two faced

What did y'all do to my GOAT Casualty! Vote remains the same - Two Faced.

Becoming more difficult .... I know casualty is probably going next, but my vote goes to Two Faced!

Casualty is so much more fresh than HITC. Let's be real

Tone-wise, I wouldn't expect Alex to have much freedom of choice. I feel we're nitpicking a bit. Sure, there are some noticeable differences in some songs - APFMH having too much palm mute in the verse for example - and indeed, different picking patterns can alter the sound a bit too, but it's not like he was playing wrong notes or off beat. Which ok, should never happen for professionals but still, I think the guitars sound fine overall.

Over Each Other.
