Industrial music was evolving and diverging in the early 1990s. Some bands doubled down on their samples, keyboards and drum machines. Others went a more metallic direction. Skrew is one of the latter and they are the focus of this review. Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame is the debut album of the band, released in 1992. While there are high spots, it leaves a lot to be desired. https://zoombubba.com/blog/2017/11/09/skrews-first-album-broke-no-new-ground/

When I decided to try my hand at blogging again, I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do. I did roundups on science news, wrote some commentary and shared insightful columns. People read them, but not in big numbers. With Ministry's album Psalm 69 turning 25 this year, I thought I'd write some on that and to my surprise, people were into it. So, I decided to do some more retro reviews and people read them. So, I've decided to do some more of them, drawing on albums I owned and some I wish I did the first time around. Anyway, here's a snippet and link to Psalm 69's review. Read it here: https://zoombubba.com/blog/2017/11/07/psalm-69-encapsulated-1992/

I never heard of it until I saw it on my deal app today. I just thought they were something new on the breakfast menu.

You're full of shit. You've had a circle jerk of political posters, led by one of your own mods, that has made this place more hostile to even center-left points of view than ASMB ever was. I mean, you've had one user tell Master_Debater, who talks like a robot 95 percent of the time, that she needs to kill herself, and your mods did nothing. Seriously, don't even bother because you're not going to enforce it in any fair manner.

On this day 25 years ago (1992 if you suck at math), Alice in Chains released their second full-length studio album Dirt. pretty much anyone who bought the album will tell you there’s something special about it. Alice in Chains were one of the few bands which could record an entire album where none of the songs felt like filler. Each song from the opening “Them Bones” to the closer “Would?” were distinct. When you talked to someone who bought the album, there was no explaining which song you were talking about, they knew. While many people say now that it was the album that launched them into the mainstream, they seem to forget that 1990s Facelift had already been a great success with its hit song “Main in a Box.” That song was seemingly played nonstop on MTV’s Buzz Block, if anyone remembers that.

Mean Gene isn't dead.

It wasn't totally unexpected, he has been fighting cancer for a while

How many Toonami viewers were actually old enough to remember watching it back then. You're approaching it like the target demographic is 35-65 year olds instead of 18-24 year olds.

I don't see them doing a board. They're not really an outreach to a wider audience like FB or Twatter and don't generate money.

There's going to be new boards?

After getting banned under my Josey account for the seventh time, I decided to keep away from forums until the election was over. Now I'm back and I noticed that there's STILL an Election 2016 thread. * I mean, come on. Isn't it about time we move on to another even number which is between 2016 and 2020? (*can I still say "back" if this is a totally new website that I had to hunt down via google search which led me to reddit which led me to a freeboard which led me to here? Did any mods make it here to say what finally led to the plug being pulled so suddenly on ASMB?) Anyway, shameless website plug: https://www.zoombubba.com
