    well if you want to take it to the gym, i think cannibal corpse would be the way to go to get pumped up. it will take a while to get desensitized to their lyrical themes.

    Lyrical themes:
    1. murder
    2. rape
    3. zombies
    4. torture etc.

    So I'm really digging the soundtrack to WET. Should I just check out the catalogs of the bands featured in the game and then seek out others like them or should I start seeking out others now?

    Seconding that, although I haven't heard V yet.

    For the most part, though, you're safe skipping the D'Virgilio era completely (besides Feel Euphoria).

    That should be a rule of prog by now... as good of an idea as it sounds at the time, never let the drummer become the lead singer...

    I quite enjoy McCartney's self-titled debut, and Ringo's 'Beaucoups of Blues', but what do I know?

    Check out George Harrison's All Things Must Pass and McCartney's first few albums with Wings as well.

    Yeah. I was never a fan of McCartney's solo work, so I can't speak for that. You might also want to check out Harrison's work with the Traveling Wilburys. It's not really his solo work per se, but it's still excellent anyway. Either of their albums is great.

    i like McCartney's solo stuff, esp Flowers In the Dirt, his absolute best

    and this is blasphemy, but, i like Wings more than The Beatles

    Every single Dinosaur Jr. album is great, but if you like the sound on Pick Me Up, you should check out either Beyond (the album with Pick Me Up) or Farm.

    i think they're absolutely terrible.
    they had some weak points on previous albums, but those two LP's have no redeeming value in my eyes whatsoever.

    For Paul, I think McCartney II and Venus and Mars are pretty good (and I assume you've already listened to Band on the Run).

    For Ringo, "Ringo" is pretty damn good.

    Have you listened to his self-titled? That's rather good as well.

    I honestly think The Division Bell stands very well, better than The Wall, but not nearly as thought out as WYWH, A Momentary Lapse of Reason is alright, but not nearly as good as their Waters-era album

    I've been looking to give Testament another try. What's their best Thrash album? (because I've heard some of their stuff isn't fully Thrash.)

    Most definitely The Legacy, then get The New Order.

    I think this is who he's talking about. I highly doubt it's the thrash one.

    You can start almost anywhere for them, but if you like that song in particular then The Sound of Perseverance isn't a bad place to start.

    It's because there are two bands of the same name. The even lesser known one is supposedly thrash/thrashcore.

    For Death going in reverse order is probably how I'd do it.
