I guess I was such a black album girl for so many years … and I have my ambivalence about Load<\/i>, although it doesn’t send me into a frothing angry wi-ku fit like some other fans … and their live double album with the San Francisco orchestra remains one of my favorite albums ever, and not a week goes by that I don’t listen to at least HALF of it … so I guess I forgot about Master of Puppets<\/i> for a while. Re-discovery time. I love it. What a great album. I have been listening to it on eternal repeat for about a week now. I’ve been writing in the park these days, slathered in SPF 800, listening to Master of Puppets<\/i>, as I wrestle with the writing demons and struggle to put it all together. I find as I get more and more introspective, my music choices get more and more aggressive. When I’m weepy and morose, the last thing I want to do is pop on Joni or Tori, although I understand people who want their music to reflect their inner life. Not me. If I go on a crying jag of week-long proportions then there I am listening to Eminem, Queens of the Stone Age, Green Day (some of it – the loud hard stuff), and Metallica. It’s not that it’s invigorating or it “cheers me up” – it’s just that it’s a nice counterpoint to the interior storm somehow. How on earth could I have gone so long flat out FORGETTING about Master of Puppets<\/i>? Lars, James, Kirk … my deepest apologies. “Orion” is the one that it is really striking me lately. I can’t get enough, and somehow I feel like I never really<\/i> heard it before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
