Opening melody of the first track reminds me a bit too much of Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' sadly, but it picks up after that :)

“anomie” is a “condition in which society provides little moral guidance to individuals,” a form of social disorder that was first outlined in the 1897 book “Suicide” by Émile Durkheim. Durkheim and others exhort that anomie represents a schism between the collective goal of a society and the individual’s inability to achieve it, leading to potential deviant behaviour. Anomie can also describe individuals ignored and vilified because they run counter to a society’s groupthink.

The song on PTP's debut that's a really long Italian word with 'robot' in the middle is the one, Brad

OK, my last one for tonight before handing over to simon the next ten
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Monday, 5 February 2018 20:18 (six years ago) link
He will take the countdown to 61 this evening
glad to see some things I've voted for placing, even if they're TOO LOW!
Anakim was my #1, looks like my half-assed campaigning has won over one person, just enough to place, thank you Brad :)
SO MANY things I've never even heard of so far, meaning lots of things to check out
listening to Dreadnought right now, sounds cool
I was too lazy to cast another ballot, otherwise I would have included Big!Brave

It's a very good album, but I miss Josh writing heavy songs

i think this is their best record but it was not on my ballot for extramusical reasons :\

Not a serious question; a joke about the bottomless lameness of Josh Homme.

70 Brutus - Burst 133.0 Points, 5 Voteshttp://www.allschools.de/pictures/cover/BRUTUS_-_Burst_400.jpghttps://open.spotify.com/album/68xOWoPQStCXdG7dk4Ubnb?si=67rU61DyRLuz6jZj7v-o0A
The moment album-opener “March” kicks in you get a sense of Brutus’ varied influences. It’s riff-driven, like a mixture of Every Time I Die and Japandroids, but it’s also fused with soaring, intense melody. Vocalist and drummer Stefanie Mannaert unleashes a flourish of borderline black metal blast beats while yelling out lyrics with feverish intensity. Vocally, Mannaert is raw and fierce without ever being caustic or violent. She doesn’t scream, but she reaches for notes with shouts that sometimes make it, and sometimes putter and crack. This is in no way a bad thing; in fact it adds to the band’s frantic nature. You sweat when you listen to this, and you bleed from every pore.

the last track on the progenie terrestre pura gets super wubbed out. it is incidentally the first time i've really loved a song on this record as opposed to moments
