Race Against The Machine

RB ≠ RBR
As in: Red Bull Racing (RBR) is the team Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are driving for, and then there is their sister-team RB* (RB) with Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo as drivers.
It's a bit confusing of course, but I'd like to see more people using the abbreviations correctly here on Lemmy.
But renaming Toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri into RB was not a clever move by the team.

*edit for more accuracy: RB's full team name is VISA Cash App Racing Bulls (VCARB), so it's not surprising people are calling them RB. But that does cause more confusion.

That's actually a better idea!

Ah thank you, that explains it.

This feels like the most likely explanation to me, it looked like SAI got almost sucked into the inside of PER's car...

I guess they don't mind losing their fans...

As if Lando's task wasn't big enough already...

Novel scenario looking like a fun possibility: PER running in a position to take points off of VER! Forcing RBR into issuing team orders! :D

I think another factor was both their on-track behaviour, bordering childishly stubborn anger, being overly aggressive. The 'red mist' I call it.
That was what turned me off them.

In my opinion, McLaren should have "let them race" up until the summer break. After that, support the driver closest to Verstappen. If something unforeseen happens and the "second" driver gets ahead, then full support to him. Simple and clear. Maximize points for the best positioned driver in the WDC and for the team in the WCC.
I still have hopes for Norris taking the WDC, but it will be a tall order. It might come down to fastest lap points even! But he will have to have full support from the team and Piastri.

Love the music, cant stand the vocals. I always wished they had kept Don Doty from the Darkness Descends album. Ron Rinehart sounds too hollow, full of air and bombastic for me.

On my list for checking out ;)

I tried the track you posted in this sub, I liked it, great drummer! Gonna check more of them soon, so thanks for the heads up! :)

Old topic, but I've got one: Pantera!
They always felt fake to me. First two (or three?) albums were shitty glam metal, and then they decided to hop on the popular thrash bandwagon.
Still didn't work for me, still posers.

I still need to check them out! Will make sure to do so soon!

I'm sure you'll like it! :D

I can't really say, actually. The bands just need to have IT for me.
Some kind of spark, energy. I like it when there's originality like Voivod, but also some insanity or full on rage...
Funny thing is: I've seen others compare Enforced to Power Trip, yet whereas Enforced gripped me immediately, I don't feel anything with Power Trip. They miss that spark for me. And I've tried many times. Just doesn't work for me.

Fuck yeah! First two albums are great!
Second one slightly better than first for me.

This is from their first album, and for me still their best. They went more death metal after this, still very good (check the No God album), but the atmosphere/sound of None Shall Defy is completely unique. Glad you're enjoying! :D

I'd say you should! :D. Voivod is such a unique band! Each album has a different vibe, yet always clearly Voivod. From pure thrash to prog to their version of wave-rock, it's all there.

My recommendations:
-Killing Technology (thrash with sci-fi vibe)
-Dimensiön Hatröss (still thrash, more sci-fi, enter prog)
-War And Pain (first album, LOUD, pre-thrash, great nuclear atmosphere)
-Nothingface (more prog, even more sci-fi, mind-blowing structure!)
-Angel Rat (rock/wave, psychedelic, needs a lot of plays to get used to)
-The Outer Limits (prog/psychedelic, Jack Luminous!)

*Rrröööaaarrr
(I was disappointed with this one. It's the most thrash of all, but kinda feels like it should have been better. It has great moments, but the guitars are too far back in the mix, drums are overriding everything. Song-structure needed more work. But it's very aggressive! Like Venom on actual speed!)

Then there's the Negatron/Phobos era, different singer, but still good. Thrash with industrial vibes. Phobos my fav of the two.

After that, guitarist Piggy died. Such a loss. Three albums with his last riffs, less thrash, less prog, more rock'n'roll. I love that the band honoured him with these farewells, but the tracks are not great. Oh, and Jason fucking Newsted played bass on these albums! He basically kept the band alive during this period, imho.

Then the latest period, with new guitarist Chewy and bassplayer Rocky.
I love them, but for me the albums don't reach the hights of their older albums. They do go back to them, musically (thrashy prog), but I miss something, it feels a bit flat, acting it instead of living it...

But have a great time exploring! ;)

Playlist for whole album: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_llmLZQY3tjZOY9XHkrGVnSCNbn6uLHyE0&feature=shared

You're welcome!
Dawn's my fav female vocalist ever, but she's fairly unknown. Hope people will learn about her more... Sadly, she was pretty self-destructive (alcohol), so that first Fear Of God album was the last she recorded...

After Détente came Fear Of God... Less thrashy, more spooky. Incredibly unique album, Dawn's finest hour imho.

Zooicidal?

Yeah, I know them, amazing song! Great opening scream, but still not close to early Osegueda level ;)

Also try the Dead Brain Cells album by D.B.C.

First 2 albums are insane! After that very meh. In my opinion.
Skip the Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting cover though, utter shite.

Infernäl Mäjesty's album None Shall Defy (1987)

Mark Osegueda on the first 3 albums is the best thrash vocalist ever to me. Those voracious high pitched screams have never been surpassed and I wish he would/could still do them. Hope to someday hear some band getting close to that level...

Shaking my head my head?

"Museum"

Fuck all religion equally!

The Great ended too soon.

Putain probably thinks he's great at poker too.

I'm just hoping for a bit of competition this season.

Now I'm wondering if that is the most ugly f1 logo I ever saw... Pretty sure it is.
