Hey guys, as you've noticed I haven't been very active here anymore since I've moved to my newsletter, for which I had to give up a big part of the readership I guess, but it gave me much more freedom in terms of publication, formatting, analysis..
But I did make a LIST OF LISTS to calculate which album was most liked by the greater international blogosphere. And the winner is: Archspire! They topped the list that came out of the analysis of almost 100 end of the year lists with 119 points. Archspire follow up Oranssi Pazuzu (2020), Blood Incantation (2019), Yob (2018), Converge (2017) and Vektor (2016).
Leave it to metalheads to find a way to sonically escape reality. Last year we indulged in Finnish psychedelics to dampen the outside world of lockdowns and restrictions, but this year we needed something stronger. A full bottle of ear knotting Canadian technical death metal was there for us when we needed it most and they proudly top the list of 656 albums.
‘Bleed The Future is a dense and compact body of superlative technical death metal’ (Metalwani); ‘Every one of Bleed the Future’s eight songs abounds with such technical feats, and Archspire’s care in their arrangement ensures that you remember every note’ (AngryMetalGuy); ‘The band’s commitment to outdoing each previous release has showed no sign of letting up steam, law of averages be damned’ (HeavyBlogisHeavy); ‘Bleed The Future hits new levels of dizzying technicality mixed with the band’s ability to make the most complicated riffs sound catchy’ (MetalInjection); ‘Bleed the Future isn’t short, it’s just really, really fast’ (Exclaim).
Check out the top 10 below! For the full 50 albums, and a write-up with things that stood out for me while compiling, see the [To The Teeth newsletter, if you're interested](https://www.getrevue.co/profile/totheteeth/issues/to-the-teeth-s
... keep reading on reddit ➡I think I'm far enough away from my high school years to be asking about this (24 now, graduated high school when I was 17). That's the age I was really getting into listening to music and also started learning guitar.
My favorite bands then were: Muse, Arctic Monkeys, My Chemical Romance, Iron Maiden, The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, Daft Punk, and Duran Duran
The first four are still some of my favorite bands (Muse being first by some distance). The rest I still really like and will happily keep them on if they show up in my shuffle. I think the majority of people here will agree all the artists I listed here are "alright" at the very worst, so what gives?
Every time I hear about the words "music taste" and "highschool" in spaces like this its normally meant as some kind of derisive remark against an artist or a person aka "That's a band you listen to in high school" or "people who listen to the same shit they used to in highschool" as if there must be something wrong with them.
It's not like I haven't expanded my horizons. I've been listening to stuff adjacent to those artists: Bowie, Floyd, Ghost, a lot of power metal bands. I just started exploring Radiohead's 21st century catalog.
I've been listening to more out there stuff, like music in Finnish and Russian, Elliott Smith, a whole lot of folk. I also listen to way more contemporary pop than I ever did in high school.
I still listen to the artists I listed at the top the a lot though. Not to relive memories or for nostalgia's sake (I fucking hated high school and will be glad to forget about it), but because I think most of them are legitimately good artists worth being talked about.
Am I just noticing this more than it actually exists? Is there a whole bunch of people projecting their own shitty tastes from their youth on to other people?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

The Bounty Hunters
“Into the dark of the night the two men wandered, towering behemoths of barely contained wrath and the skill to use it, needed traits when traveling into a city with a heart as dark as their hides.” Dong says behind his hand in a canned voice before miming examining his nails as The Hat and Mr. Tea glance back at him. Then after a few steps they turn away.
“They continued the scan the environment, danger in every corner, some obvious but most is not. Their hands never strayed far from their weapons as in the City of Sin that was Octarin Spin trouble is never more than a few steps away.”
“Just ignore him, he’ll get bored eventually.” The Hat remarks as he suppresses a grin.
“The larger of the two men states, sure of his words despite the utter inaccuracy of his statement, for this was a night of doom and destruction where death walks with all men.” Dong continues his narration, not even trying to hide the fact that he’s mocking both men as Mr. Tea starts shaking from suppressed laughter.
“Could you possibly make it more corny?” Mr. Tea asks and Dong gives him a quick thumbs up and quickly fiddles with his communicator. All three men chuckle as the film noir style piano keys start sounding out.
“A dark night indeed, where dark deeds done by those with dark hearts would rule the streets. Even the most noble of men held with them instruments of torture and murder to inflict the most heinous of harm on maiden and men alike should either seek to cross them.” Dong intones as he pushes on his windpipe with his thumb in order to alter the tone of his voice into a strange direction.
The Hat takes off his headwear and chuckles into it for a few moments before getting himself under control. “Of all the people that could be the third in our little sortie and it was you that volunteered?”
“Mustard’s meeting his new girlfriends, Itchy is nearby as backup. J3 and Tang are scouting out the best sniper perches in The Night Life. Pukey’s out with Cindy, Air-Farce is waiting nearby in the car in case they need to bail. Bike’s in the process of cracking the codes and encryptions in The Brawl yards and Shrunk Land. Onyx is teaching Jade how to maintain an airbike and Scaley’s doing the homework that Cindy assigned him. So yea. Just me.”
“Wait, the kid’s doing homework? What’s his assignment?” The Hat asks curiously.
“I think it’s a challenge to redesign the shuttle he bought with the assumption he has about three thousand credits to do it.” Dong r

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
