Day 29 Music Challenge! Use your Tools!

OK music fans! The finish line is in sight and we’ll be done by the weekend. Today I’m going to push the challenge a bit harder. I already mentioned that it’s difficult to put hard rock/metal out there without alienating some folks, but the response to the Party version of that genre (AC/DC) was pretty good, so I’m going to try this one.

What to listen for: Polyrhythms. Several of these songs have multiple concurrent time signatures. Drumming. Danny Carey is arguably one of the worlds best drummers (you’ll see him on a lot of lists). Production. The execution of this album is insane. Want to try an experiment? If you have a true stereo set up (2 channels, or at most 2 and a sub), sit in your sweet spot and listen to Jambi. At 1:13 in the song, the voice will appear behind you. Close your eyes and point to locations of music throughout…it’s pretty cool.

The one genre I’ve not properly explored that I’ve wanted to is some proper metal. From the bits I’ve heard it has a surprising amount in common with some of the harder more extreme sub genres of electronica hence my interest.

Yeah I liked this a lot and can see me spending a few hours working through the Roon links and tags accordingly :slight_smile:

To be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to this session. As I write I’m still listening and I have to say that 10,000 Days exceeded my expectations.

It’s not going to be a go to genre for me but I appreciate their craft and the production. My picks are from the midsection: the title track and The Pot.

Thanks for giving it a shot Martin! :sunglasses:

Decided to let Roon Radio run once the album finished. Let’s see where this goes.

The Pot is certainly an awesome song. Roseta Stoned…just incredible :wink:
