That Krantz record is possibly AOTY for me. Its gentle vibe was a very welcome thing during this crap year.
Edit: Also: Krantz/Carlock/Lefebvre was the last gig I saw, just 12 days before the lockdown.

Should be named Americron, then.

Here, there, everywhere.

Getting some ever so slight Clark vibes from the vocals and filter tweaks. A lot more evil sounding, though

Ah, long time no listen. Used to rinse their Shores album back inthe days.

Yeah, that riff is sick. I usually hear some odd metered prog bonanza the first time it plays, then calibrate to the proper one the second time around.

Do you hear the snares as the 1 2 3 4 on the verse too? Then suddenly there's a totally fucked riff on the prechorus that barely makes sense, and then the chorus is normal? Because I think that's the only way to hear it.
Yeah, that's how I've always heard it. And still hear it, even though I know it's offset.
I think Lars' relatively weak pedal work has to do with it, too. He really lays in on the snare groove wise, plus the kick is mixed relatively low for a thrash metal recording. There's a solo drum part with double bass drums after the guitar solos, and even here the downbeat isn't really accentuated that well.
The Art of Guitar did a nice breakdown a while back.

Yeah, that's the funny thing - it's super easy once you have it right.
I have finally reconditioned my brain to the actual one of the first half of Spirits in a Material World. Only took me 37 years or whatever... Still struggling with Fight Fire With Fire.

not trying to be a smart-ass but i fail to see why you find it difficult.
Because there's a ton of deceptive stuff going on.
- The intro is six periods long.
- The buildup at the tail of the intro leads to a one that is simply dropped.
- The bass enters at the three, which weakens the feeling of the one. And on every other (or so) turnaround the bass enters with an additional syncopation (lands on the three-and).
- The second half of the bass phrase accents the syncopation just ahead and just after the downbeats.
- When the vocal sample first enters, the one is omitted again. Repeats several times throughout, with the last syllable of "it's never enough" landing on the four-and, and then the one being omitted.
- The bass line and the vocal phrase seem to pull in different directions away from the one.
- All of this seems to be particularly effective with the skitterish house beat that doesn't really have a solid back beat. It can be almost be felt as "one - one - one - one" rather than "ONE - two - THREE - four".

It seems particularly hard to hold onto The One in this track:

Went to a techno boat party in Amsterdam where my brother had to DJ, and there was an outbreak of covid there. Me, my brother and a few other people I knew from there all got it. Been vaccinated (Pfizer, 2x), still got fever, headaches, loss of smell and taste, etc. One week since I started getting symptoms now. Today was supposed to be the last day of quaraintine if I didn't have anymore symptoms, but alas. Yesterday was the first day I tried being active inside, clean up and stuff, and I was dead tired afterwards. Headaches since.
Upside: I can smell peanut butter a tiny bit again, after a week of not being able to smell or taste anything.
Downside: coffee also smells like peanut butter a bit now.Get well, buddy!

NOT Coronavirus COVID-19

HIV was super scary full stop. The world at large thought you'd get infected from touching someone positive, from being around them, from eating off the same cutlery. And all this uncertainty and fear only boosted the general homophobia. The mid 80s was a very dark period in this regard.
