Throwback Thursday: That 10 Albums Trending

"Day x of 10 days - 10 albums in no paricular order. Album that really made an impact and are still on your rotation list. Post the cover, no need to explain, and nominated a person each day."

Akupun terjebak dengan trend semasa ini, tapi daripada dibuat hari-hari dalam media sosial, ada baiknya aku buatkan sebagai satu entri sahaja untuk kesepuluh album berserta nominee (diletak bukan nama sebenar).

1. Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny Of Souls, nominee: Pojie.
2. Blind Guardian - The Forgotten Tales, nominee: Nordin.
3. Avril Lavigne - Let Go, nominee: Fer Fergie.
4. Hootie And The Blowfish - Cracked Rear View, nominee: Shidin.
5. Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time, nominee: Gaban.

Pernah dibuat entri tahun 2015.

6. Metallica - Metallica, nominee: Raem Jordison.

7. Megadeth - Risk (versi asal bukan R&R), nominee: Zulk Zam.

8. King Diamond - House Of God, nominee: Habsu #rosak.

9. Foo Fighters - The Colour And The Shape, nominee: Zana Iskandar.

10. Linkin Park - Meteora, nominee: Eric Ho.

Aku terhadkan satu album per artis/band, kalau tak memang payahlah Iron Maiden saja akan tapau separuh slot.

AADI: Tak ada album tempatan?

Lima Album Yang Selalu Dicapai

These are my "go-to" albums... Bila bukan musim (viral?) sesebuah band atau dah tak tau nak dengar lagu/album apa semasa pemanduan jarak jauh atau pergi-balik kerja, biasanya aku akan capai (secara otomatik) satu atau beberapa album berikut untuk dipasang dalam Imago.

In no particular order:

1. Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny Of Souls.
2. Blind Guardian - The Forgotten Tales.
3. Avril Lavigne - Let Go.
4. Hootie And The Blowfish - Cracked Rear View.
5. Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time.

Mungkin disebabkan nilai nostalgik, ataupun lagu-lagunya menenangkan semasa memandu, dalam masa yang sama ia tidak membuatkan aku mengantuk.

Entri Mini: Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai

Selamat berbulan Jun dan selamat menyambut Gawai Dayak kepada rakan-rakan dan pengikut AADI Sarawakian.

Walaupun bukan lagu Gawai, tapi ini antara lagu Iban paling best pernah aku dengar. Jauh berbeza daripada cliche lagu-lagu Iban yang selalu berkumandang di radio-radio tempatan yang rata-rata berirama joget atau rock and roll.

Teringat pernah buat persembahan bersama-sama Majestica semasa Oktoberfest 2012.

ekceli aku joybid album ni, sbb nak bg album nirvana kat bwh tu ada geng. klu dah harga murah, better buy 2 cd drp 1 cd kan? apa yg membuatkan aku minat muzik hootie & the blowfish ni? sbb guitar works dorg mmg best... aku yg hari2 praktis powerchords with full gain distortions pun kdg2 jeles jugak dgr bunyi clean picking acoustic guitar, banjo dan mandolin

spt album musical chairs, this album was more too pop, twang, blues, country, bluegrass dan sket2 gospel... dah hilang unsur2 alternative mcm dlm album cracked, rear view... jd klu nak dgr sesuatu yg santai dan tenangkan fikiran slps penat dgr lagu2 metal... blehla layan album ni

utk album nirvana ni rasanya xpyhla aku listdown tracklistnya... senang cerita ia merupakan kompilasi lagu2 nirvana yg dirakamkan secara live waktu dorg buat roadshow @ tour in north america and europe

aku rasa, mat2 metal umumnya dan peminat2 nirvana khasnya pasti ada album ni kan? yela... album yg released 2 thn slps cobain commit suicide. pastinya menjadi collector's item. kat dlm inlay ada sket2 sejarah live performance nirvana secara ringkas yg diceritakan semula oleh krist novoselic... aku suka dgn perenggan terakhir dlm cerita tu...

in presenting this record, we hope that the ultimate allure of nirvana (and especially kurt) as well as the passion that we had -and have- for the music we made is once again brought to the forefront. let all the analysis fall away like yellow, aged newsprint. crank this record up and realize the bliss, power and passion... TOTAL NIRVANA

- krist novoselic

gambar hiasan - klu versi kaset, aku xde album incesticide dan unplugged

kaset album ni aku beli somewhere in 1996 (slps aku spm, time keje kat pusat komputer membakut, menggantikan tmpt awg raem manggas) bbrp mggu slps album ni released. antara kaset yg aku beli dgn duit aku sendiri (slps kaset sudirman dwidekad) duit gaji hehehe... bangga ooo, sblm ni klu beli kaset semua duit harian skolah yg dikumpul (phm2 jela bdk skolah). kaset yg menjadi temanku waktu aku mula2 menjejakkan kaki di pulau mutiara thn 1997 aku masuk usm... masih zmn grunge aku lg tu

hootie & the blowfish - musical chairs

semenjak aku beli album dorg cracked rear view dan slalu dgr time driving blk dari keja, aku mcm berminat nak dgr album2 dorg yg lain. lagu2 dorg mmg enjoy easy listening maybe sbb vocal darius rucker dan guitar works dorg best... lgpun aku minat jugak muzik ala2 country ni. musical chairs merupakan studio album dorg yg ke-3 slps fairweather johnson (yg aku tgh bid) released in 1998, info album ni kat wiki

(p)(c) atlantic recording corporation for the united states and wea international for the world outside of the united states. cd dan inlay dlm keadaan masih baru, cuma cd ada 1 minor scratch. btw, cd ni ada cop hdcd

15. closet full of fear (hidden track)

lagu febret? i will wait, wishing, last vegas night dan what's going on here (ada unsur2 jazz) album ni mcm kurg menyengat berbanding album 1st (album 2nd aku xdgr lg) tp drp info kat wiki album ni cuma mencecah kedudukan no. 4 carta us berbanding album 1st dan 2nd yg berjaya menduduki no. 1, pndpt peribadi aku stlh mendgr album ni, maybe sbb muzik dorg lbh kpd country dan gospel dah kurg unsur2 alternative... sbb tu kot sambutannya yg kureng sket

natalie imbruglia - left of the middle

erk? natalie imbrulia? hehehe... sapa xkenal artis aussie ni? she was so hot back then in the 1997-98. lagu torn dlm album ni mmg berhantu. apa2 info bleh baca kat website rasmi natalie imbruglia atau wiki. (p)(c) 1998 bmg entertainment international, uk & ireland co. ltd. this cd was enhanced cd, cd dan inlay dlm keadaan masih baru, cd mcm xde scratch mula2 smpi tu, tp skrg dah ada 1-2 minor scratches... heh, salah sendiri la tu kot?

tracklist

1. torn
2. one more addiction
3. big mistake
4. leave me alone
5. wishing i was there
6. smoke
7. pigeons and crumbs
8. don't you think?
9. impressed
10. intuition
11. city
12. left of the middle

lagu febret? ofkos lagu torn yg berhantu, big mistake dan wishing i was there. setau aku 3 lagu ni je yg pnh dan slalu masuk radio m'sia, yg lain tu aku xtau... aku beli album ni sbb ada nostalgic value (dan murah xde sapa yg bid tinggi2) lagu torn slalu berkumandang di radio hitz.fm waktu album ni mula2 release back in 1997... waktu tu aku tgh cuti semester 1st year + industrial training kat solid state lab, usm. lagu torn ni dan lagu turn back time drp aqua mmg mengingatkan zmn2 industrial training dan time tu tgh gila main red alert :)

hootie & the blowfish - cracked rear view

aik? hootie & the blowfish pun aku layan? drp sumber info wikipedia album ni merupakan album 1st dorg "their 1994 debut album, cracked rear view, is one of the best selling albums of all time, going platinum sixteen time" aku xtau info band ni (sblm aku wiki) dan mmg aku xfollow pun band ni... tp album ni mmg aku minat, muzik dorg ni style southern rock, ada sket2 alternative, rock & roll, gospel, blue grass, country, twang, traditional... apa2 pun guitar works dorg mmg best. aku enjoy dgr lagu2 dorg ni, lbh2 lg klu dgr time tgh driving santai mcm lagu ac/dc (kalau tgh drive 18-wheeler lg best). inlay cd ni dlm keadaan memuaskan, manakala cd plak ada byk calar tp kat hujung2 cd yg langsung xmenjejaskan playability cd ni (but, for a RM15.27 used cd ... it's still good)

(p)(c) 1994 atlantic recording corporation. printed in usa. aku mula2 dgr lagu dorg ni waktu muzik alternative mula menarik minat remaja2 malaysia (zmn oag, oasis, blur, the offsprings, green day) radio muzik (skrg muzik fm) slalu siarkan lagu2 alternative sblh ptg dan radio 4 (skrg ni traxx fm) plak pasang alternative tgh mlm. lagu2 hootie pun slalu disiarkan di samping lagu2 alternative yg lain (the cranberries pun slalu gak)

tracklist

1. hannah jane
2. hold my hand
3. let her cry
4. only wanna be with you
5. running from an angel
6. i'm goin' home
7. drowning
8. time
9. look away
10. not even the trees
11. goodbye
    hidden track
12. sometimes i feel like a motherless child

(frasa like a motherless child tu kena censored kat tracklist album... heh ada bunyi mcm lagu mi scusi)

lagu febret aku hannah jane, let her cry, only wanna be with you, running from an angel dan time. lagu time tu mmg best liriknya, lgpun lagu ni ada sket memori... klu dgr teringat zmn2 mula dpt keja part-time kat penang (waktu tu aku still student 1st year usm), travelling sana-sini delivery pc serata pulau smbl dgr lagu drp cd best of alternative 1996 (kompilasi lagu2 alternative) dlm cd ni ada 2 lagu hootie, time dan let her cry. waktu tu jugak stesen radio hitz.fm (yg baru dilancarkan) slalu pasang lagu2 hootie (heh, nostalgic value la kunun). fyi, vocalist dorg ni darius rucker merupakan seorg african american, no wonder vocal dlm lagu2 ni best2 sbb deep in bass range (blackman nyanyi lagu2 country mmg rare)... apa2 info blehla cari kat website rasmi hootie & the blowfish, website rasmi darius rucker atau wikipedia

klu diikutkan hrga betul, xnak aku beli cd ni. tp kebetulan hrga murah dan xde org bid... aku bid la dan bundle skali dgn cd nirvana. in the end, aku xnyesal beli cd ni... mmg enjoy dgr. klu korg meminati lagu ala2 country tp still ada unsur2 rock, album ni mmg layan

nirvana - mtv unplugged in new york

ya, lg2 nirvana... xpyh aku nak cerita byk pasal band kontroversi ni. mamat2 metal pastinya at one point mmg meminati nirvana. aku bertuah sbb dpt cd ni yg dlm keadaan near mint sama ada cd mahupun inlay, xsia2 aku bid smpi US$3.15 dulu. aku dari dulu lg nak beli kaset album unplugged ni tp semua xjd (zmn budak skolah la, byk masalah kewangan) skrg stlh berbelas2 thn album ni release akhirnya barula aku berjaya memilikinya dlm bentuk cd (yeyeah). klu kat m'sia cd2 nirvana ni xpnh aku tgk kat mana2 kedai muzik jual murah stock clearence (sama mcm album2 klasik metallica) dari dulu smpi skrg still maintain hrga RM40+

aku mengenali nirvana bermula dgn album ni (pinjam kaset2 koleksi takilala & bros), pelik kan? lps dgr lagu2 spt about a girl, come as you are, penny royal tea, dumb, all apologies dan polly... i wonder how will it sound with raw distortion? barula aku start dgr album2 bleach, nevermind, incesticide dan in utero. spt album in utero yg aku review... thanks to kurt cobain, sbb nirvana la aku jd rockers with attitude mcm skrg ni. klu x maybe aku jd mamat mainstream without identity and self-esteem dgr lagu2 pop (or worst hip-hop). baru aku ingat aku prnh ada album ni dlm versi vcd konsert, tp cap lanun... hehehe

p/s: nasib baikla nirvana ni xbyk album mcm motorhead atau ac/dc, sng sket nak start collecting cd version
