It has 100% more saxophone solo and a Pet Shop Boys cover. I agree with your assessment, however, I love it for that reason. It's crazy.

Sherbert Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I dont know what it is about saxophones but I just dont like them that much. As soon as I heard the saxophone solo my opinion of the album dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because you weren't trying to have sex in the 1980s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarbicus Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I kinda dig the new Ghost. Guitars have a real early 80's Dio or King Diamond vibe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkie Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Okay, I know I never post new songs, and that's certainly not changing here: I've had River Dragon Has Come stuck in my head for days and days. It's one of my very favorite songs. But I decided to look up what it's about, floods sure, that much is obvious. But what flood?! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam Here's the short version: in the 1950s, the Chinese built a [big bad swear word]ty dam with the help of the Russians. It cracked almost immediately so they reinforced it and called it "The Iron Dam" and deemed it unbreakable. As with anytime humans deem an engineering project "un-bad thing-able" that bad thing happened. In 1975 a once every few thousand years typhoon rolled through and the dam broke. It created a domino effect in which 62 total dams were destroyed and at least 170,000 people died. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE!!! Which begs the question, why the hell have I never heard of this before?! When we were covering engineering failures in my engineering class, why were we wasting time with bull[big bad swear word] like The Challenger and Chernobyl? How does the most destructive engineering failure of all recorded human history not even get a mention? So that's today's lesson in History, Metal, and Engineering, see you next week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other part is the Chinese government downplayed the incident at the time and the casualty numbers weren't released until 2005, long after it was out of the cultural consciousness. 41 minutes ago, Yarbicus said: Will this be on the test?
