MichaelMush Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Album of the year for me was Monuments to an Elegy by The Smashing Pumpkins. Agreed with whoever said about The Endless River by Pink Floyd because I realltystarted enjoying the album after a few listens plus is made me also go back and listen to their classic records and appreciating them all over again.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 2, 2015 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 I had the Pumpkins album for Xmas, it's really good. The Smashing Pumpkins comeback has been a little weird, which appropriately fits the history of the band i guess, but when they released Zeitgeist you couldn't help but sense the disappointment (i liked the album), i think people had unrealistic expectations, it even led to Corgan claiming that he'd never release another album...he lied of course and the last 2 records have both been excellent. The feeling around the new album is that the Pumpkins are back to being a pretty special unit, got a bit of an all-star lineup these days as well. I need to see them in 2015. Â as for my album of the year, it has to be this: Â Â first saw em support Therapy? in April, i was hooked from then. The live performance has been much scrutinized, it seems people either love it or find it awkward to watch given the stage fright of singer David Jakes but i find it adds to the performance. The album was in limbo for 2 years as the band couldn't find the right deal to get it released, so they are basically touring an album of old shit, im guessing they've got a new full arsenal of tunes to get out as well but as far as this album goes it's a fucking belter, just massive tunes. They've also put out some of the best music video's this year. Get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 21, 2015 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2015 Sophie headline slot is turning into a great lil slot. Caught two headliners last year, great vibe in the vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthofsin Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Black Label Society have got the 'special guest' slot at Bloodstock on the Sunday! This makes me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yay! Zak doing a ten minute solo that all sounds the same after 30 seconds! Woo! Â That'll definitely be a time to watch something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted January 30, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2015 Bought my Download ticket. For me, this years line-up is shaping up to be an absolute belter. Â If you've not checked it out I'd recommend the Jamey Jasta podcast (Hatebreed frontman & former 'Headbangers Ball presenter). He has some really good guests & they seem to strike the right balance between music geekery & casual fan. The Corey Taylor, Andy Copping, Scott Ian & Ice T episodes were all great.

WyattSheepMask Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Am waiting on Download tickets to go back on sale. Until the confirms all acts days I can only say I'm commuted to the Sunday for KISS, a shame as Judas Priest are on the Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
