This is simply a really good song.

Just heard Mary Anne Hobbs play Slayer's War Ensemble on BBC Radio 6 Music then quickly talk about advice Kerry King gave her regarding tattoo's. That's how to make a Tuesday lunchtime a better time.

Nice.

I'm addicted to this daft song, a reminder that I might be a total metalhead but i'm still very VERY gay Also, it's Kylie and she's a pop icon.

I've listened to it several times. I was going to post it when it came out a couple of weeks ago but that bloody Padam, Padam chorus got so into my head i couldn't get it out (There's definitely a song there me thinks) so didn't.

I'll probably buy the deluxe cd version of the album when it's released.

It's an incredibly catchy song and the video is very watchable!

I bloody loved this.

Just listened to all 77 minutes of it. This is the Metallica album i would wish for. It's like a 'Best of' with all new songs. Anyone who likes Metallica from 83's Kill 'Em All to the faster stuff on 91's Black album, like The Struggle Within, should also love it.

Every song hit the spot with me, there wasn't a weak link in the chain. It's fast, it's furious, it's catchy and it's brilliantly produced with a huge crunching sound. I heard little bits of Metallica from throughout that 83-91 period. Penultimate song Room of Mirrors i was picking up Iron Maiden vibes in the solo harmonies and Volcano era Satyricon during the icy guitar slashes in the chorus.

Throughout the twelve songs i was constantly moving to the music, tapping my fingers, moving my feet and legs and headbanging in a minor pathetic way.

Although none of the songs have stayed with me in an ear worm fashion - Padam Padam it ain't - i've come away from it with a Cheshire cat grin and i'm ready to listen to it all again.

Oh, and there are no ballads!

There was an interesting interview with Ina Wroldsen, who co-wrote Padam Padam, on the Today programme. It's available on BBC Sounds, at 2.22.11: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001mlfs

I’m convinced enough to listen to the album now, I’ll stream it first because I’m not 100% convinced yet but it sounds like it’s worth giving it a go one for tomorrow when I go for a walk.
