Just got it last night, and have it running in a mix, but I haven't got much time to listen to it yet. I've heard good things and it shouldn't be too hard to be better than the last two.

As my favorite album of the last five years, An Overdose of Death was going to be nearly impossible to top. Did Joel Grind manage that on his Relapse debut Conjure and Command? For me, no, he didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t, but thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s no insult to opus that is Conjure.

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve now spun Conjure and Command through twice while giving it dedicated attention. ThereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s nothing wrong with Conjure. In fact, I dig it very much. The sound and atmosphere of the album is impeccable. Every instrument rings through and it has that dense, crushing quality thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s true to most great metal. However, from a songwriting standpoint it doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t have the immediate impact of Joel GrindÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s earlier stuff Ã¢â‚¬â€œ especially on An Overdose of Death, which for me was a perfect album start to finish.

Conjure is a brilliant album full of solid musicianship and dark musicianship that will grow on me more with time - of that I have no doubt - but itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s that denseness that over shadows what Joel does best and thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s writing punk fueled, catchy as fuck mosh thrash anthems. IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m sure itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s fair to say that he wants to grow and expand as a songwriting and musician - and more power to him - but, for me those simple breakdowns, rock nÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ roll infused leads and funny bits like random tambourine that fleshed out Overdose that are sorely missed. Conjure is no doubt a great album, but Overdose was full of great songs.

Growth is great, but simplicity has its place, too.

B+

Just my opinionÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

Also -

Em Ruinas - ...From the Speed Metal Graves
Brilliant old school sounding Brazillian speed metal that's just what the album title implies. Very much looking forward to seeing them at Live Evil in October.

Otherwise -
Some Terror, Warzone, Oi Polloi, Steve Earle, Bathory, Death Breath, Cannibas Corpse and Darkthrone...

The Rollings Stones -- Let It Bleed. Perhaps the greatest rock album ever.

Great call. Only rivalled by Exile. And I do have a soft spot for Some Girls.

It is probably my favorite album by the Stones, followed by Sticky Fingers. For whatever reason, I've never been a big fan of Exile. I know that many consider it their highwater point, but it just hasn't clicked.

Goats Head Soup anyone? I feel like it gets overlooked quite a bit. By far my favorite Stones record. Let It Bleed is a close second.

Sticky Fingers, tooÃ¢â‚¬Â¦That whole era is brilliant. Even Get Your Ya-Yas Out is great. Up until Undercover the Stones really couldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t do any wrong Ã¢â‚¬â€œ IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll even back Emotional Rescue, as unpopular of a call as that may be. GHS is a fantastic (Starfucker is just about my favorite song in the world), but, for me, much trippier album. My favorite is generally Some Girls just because I love how simple and almost punk rock it comes off. Really, there are few bands that can rival the Stones for the density and diversity of their catalog.

Listening to:
Bathory Radio on Pandora all day

1349 - Hellfire

The other CD ended and I said to myself "I wonder what I loaded in next?" and the CD said "HELLFIRE!!" and I went "oh right, Hellfire."

Just signed up for a Spotify account. Listening to Conjure and Command right now. I've seen Spotify in action in Europe and glad it's finally here in the states. If I figure out how to give invites let me know if you want one...
