1914 The Blind Leading The Blind

This blog is a music history diary 

To keep track of the music I collect. You see, I collect about 30 albums every five days or so.

Roughly... 

I barely feel like posting on it mostly, but when I ran into 1914's new album, 'The Blind Leading The Blind', I tuned it out....pun intended. It sounded like black metal .I don't fucking like black metal as a whole,  I have tolerance for 3 or 4 bands, but it just doesn't fit in my prison wallet, so to say. A place where I would gladly put black metal as a whole to drive home my detestation for it.

To my dismay, black metal as a genre is starting to ,"MELD", with hardcore, death metal, stoner rock, ambient atmospheric, Doom metal,  and Probably dubstep, for all I fucking care.

HOWEVER...

I began popping in this disc for shits and giggles...and as I have been listening to it, this LP has grown on me.(what have I become!!??).It's grown on me to the point of needing to pop it in 2 or three times every morning. It has cast a shadow on my other collecting habits, and is steadily becoming my #1 release of 2018.

I feel it is similar to famed all time classic albums. Slayers Reign In Blood, and Pig Destroyers,' Prowler', album, and also to name, the  Godflesh classic, 'Streetcleaner', and 'Wolverine Blues' ,by Entombed.

This is a dangerous thing to say, too bold to compare, 'The Blind Leading The Blind'

is going to go down in history with these classics?! Yes. The album Art is A curious culmination to view, and the LP name is a fitting title in conspiracy with the art visually as well as the audio. Great Production and engineering mix just makes this LP a furious perfection.

So if you disagree, prove me wrong...buy it and spin it.Betcha you'll agree!

sincerely with love,
