- Songs listened to: 5633
- Total songs: 10367
- Percentage complete: 54.34%

We’ve gained a month in our completion date; this is good. And this has been a great month, with such awesomeness as Liquid Tension Experiment, Megadeth, and the Crüe of course. A great surprise was Megadeth’s “So Far… So Good… So What?” which I had never listened to before. A great disappointment was Metallica’s “Death Magnetic” — I had been led to believe it was quality, but alas, it is more of the same garbage (no pun intended) that has come out of Metallica for the past nearly 20 years.
Man – has it been that long since the black album came out?
Anyway. This next month should be a good one. If we hold pace, we should get as far as Oingo Boingo, including a definitive industrial band, a definitive grunge band, a definitive new wave band, a definitive 60-year-old-ladies band, and some obscure hair metal thrown in for flavoring. Should be outstanding.
