Just got The Holy Bible. Blown away.

Now I'm stuck between Yes, Archives of Pain, 4st. 7lbs., AND P.C.P. for favorite track! It's too f'ing hard!

I remember that feeling. Expect many future Holy Bible sessions.

Overrated: Of Walking Abortion
Underrated: P.C.P.

Mojo · 07-15-2009, 02:30 PM

Of Walking Abortion is my favourite on the record. Probably anyway, it's hard to choose sometimes.

P.C.P is a great track, even if it doesnt exactly fit in with the tone of the rest of the record.

The Intense Humming of Evil IS under-rated.

Revol is turd.

khfreek · 07-15-2009, 02:31 PM

Revol is not turd! Just the worst one on the album is all

Fila, fila!

Heh I really hate it. So does James Dean Bradfield. Not that thats my reason mind you, I just think its overblown and needlessly pretentious. If it wasnt for that track THB would be my absolute perfect album. Same with Corpus Christi Carol on Jeff Buckley's Grace. Both of those records are among my favourites and may actually be 1 & 2 but those tracks just let them down.

I don't know which I hate more - Revol or So Why So Sad...

Corpus Christi hatred!?

And I thought you had good taste (AKA same as mine)

The Holy Bible's a great album. It's kinda weird how James Dean Bradfield has such a great voice on it but somehow he makes the lyrics unintelligible.

As I say though, great stuff. It's between Yes, Mausoleum and 4st 7Ibs when it comes to my favourite.

It's mostly due to the fact that he had the music and then just threw Richey's lyrics over them, resulting in a lot of big words being rushed frantically into one frame.

Bradfield is one of my favourite singers for this album alone, his range is incredible from the actual singing to the screaming.
