Huge Iced Earth fan here. Their music has meant a lot to me, they really changed my life. I know every album by heart. I've met them too and they were very nice to me. Was heartbroken by Jon Schaffer's implication in the capitol bullshit, as well as his COVID denial, and haven't really been able to listen to IE since, pretty much. It sucks hard, because their music was a huge part of my life, but it just isn't the same now. This album was a very weird product and it truly baffled me, when I first listened to it. My take, sad as it sounds: it was a way to quickly release something "new" and make some money to help pay for Jon's legal expenses, seeing as he is in deep trouble after the riot. The music is all stuff that already existed, rearranged to sound like background fantasy music. The spoken stuff was partly already existing lyrics and partly new stuff that probably didn't take long to write. It's familiar stuff, if you know Jon. And obviously recordings the vocals wouldn't take long, you could probably do it all in one day. So, yeah, I think this album was simply a way to make some money as quickly as possible. The fall of Jon and Iced Earth is truly depressing.

The storming of the building was stupid and dangerous and people got hurt, even killed. Over what? 3) It's not just his being there, he gave statements at the events that didn't sit well with me. The fact that a man whom I've always seen as smart would go there because he sees Donald Fucking Trump as a force for positive change in the world is depressing. The fact that he destroyed the band over this belief is even more depressing. 4) COVID wasn't exaggerated, fuck off. Also, let me add that I don't think this is unforgivable or that he can't come back from this. And he definitely doesn't owe anything to me personally. Buy, yes, at the moment his music is pretty much ruined for me. IE has always been close to my heart and these events are not, so I can't do it.

Their epic Jan 6 battle needed a narrative soundscape bruh

[@mrchromexxx]

that number 1 spot was the biggest surprise, i didnt even know that album was a thing. and it was worse than number 2? gahhhdam

[@tariqmusaffar7957]

idk what’s more impressive, that fantano was able to find 3 albums worse than mainstream sellout or the fact that someone could even make an album worse than mainstream sellout

[@joshd270]

Try to sit through that iced earth album it's complete torture

[@chanceForNotBeingRapper]

I mean mgk wasn't that bad, it's just his previous 2 records focused on rock genre is obviously better than this

This is the first we’re hearing about his #1 and he talked about it for like two minutes 😶 His review of the Corey Feldman album was like a year long, I need more about this monstrosity

I was a big Iced Earth fan 20 years ago (yeah, old af) and had no idea this existed. I hope the streams and $1.74 Spotify checks this video brings will fill Jon Seditioner's prison commissary account.

[@MartialMovieManC]

Based on the replies, it looks like Iced Earth just got the BIGGEST promotion they possibly could have.

[@TheRedBook]

Iced Earth's album is like that because it's not "the band" anymore. It's just Jon on his own being weird.

[@robinsonnox9980]

Nav's latest, it really did it for me. I put it on, and I couldn't help myself. I punched so many trees. People saw me do it and they were confused but they were Nav Normies. Eventually I got put into prison but I did it all for Nav. Every night I would cry "NAV IS THE GREATEST POET AROUND" although it took a fellow inmate (meth) to tell me how to pronounce poet correct

[@christianlesniak]

I thought it released in a birth-control case?

[@lukecrossley]

yeah i think it's hard to list as a worst album bc it's clearly unfinished and abandoned, it's same as reviewing like the yandhi leaks/demos at this point - clearly some good ideas and skeletons of songs, but clearly has bad mixing and mumble verses

[@Ravelle17]

@Polarhero57 It did release and he charged a lot of money for it through the stupid stem player. It's just not available on streaming services but that doesn't mean it didn't release

@theneedledrop do you review the music of independent artists? Do you charge to do so? And if so, how much do you charge, Anthony?

[@tennypenny8737]

Honestly just seeing Kanye at this point just makes me sad. One of the most influential artists of our generation devolved into... this. This pathetic, self-important nonsense that long since gave up on anything but stroking Kanye's massive ego. I honestly just hope he gets help soon and drops from public eye. The man needs it and I would rather him retire now and save what little credibility and honor his legacy had than ruin it all with these statements. But he won't. No, his managers and fans are going to keep feeding into him until it reaches a boiling point and god knows when. It just makes me sad. I can't even listen to his music anymore without thinking of it. I mean I still enjoy his records don't get me wrong but... it's still there.

[@paultapping9510]

I was around when Kanye very first dropped, and he always struck me as a self-important asshole. Never liked any of his music, glad to see him fall off finally.

[@tennypenny8737]

@@paultapping9510 I respectfully disagree. At least in relation to his earlier work. I will admit he was always an asshole and he had one hell of an ego but I always thought he was able to properly back it up with really damn good music and narratives and stories anyone could relate to. Or just being so over the top you couldn't help but sing along and enjoy it. His ego, for better or for worse, defined alot of his career. Unfortunately, as we've seen recently, that can easily turn into your greatest enemy as much as your greatest ally...

Would you say it was his mother pass the point of no return or the divorce?

That Iced Earth album is technically a remix album,every song has the same lyrics as something they recorded before with matching titles(just with the "narrative soundscape"shit at the end).

The fact that Muse should be considered a barometer for the "state" of rock music is such a poor take. Mainstream arena rock band is at a low point, but so much amazing indie, progressive, experimental, etc. rock is being made as we speak!

Even beating top contenders with Kid Rock, Tom McDonalds and Nav! I am genuinely amused how this came to be! Oh yeah and that Iced Earth album is just a sad look into the mind of a racist uncle crumbling under his midlife crisis while he reminisces the times he put out good music.
