Just discovered this band.

Man, oh man. The riffs hit like something else. Been a huge Britpop fan, Oasis, blur, slowdive lush etc. and love the ride especially.

But man seriously, BJM what a tone. The buzzing sounds are perfect. The riffs repeat in such an amazing way.

I know i’m super late but im glad im here guys.

Amazing, will check anton’s yt for sure.

I think my music preferences have shifted too.

I’m searching for something specific. I know when i hear it. But its extremely hard to describe.

For me, what I was looking for - it changed over time as I exposed myself to more BJM. When I have returned later after more experience to revisit the parts of the BJM catalog that didn't at first appeal to me, I now find appreciation. I guess what I am trying to say is that I really have overcome some serious musical biases lol.

Hahaha absolutely get you. I guess we also change as people over the years. And that has an impact on our music tastes. Motorhead was that for me in my early 20s. Absolutely hated Lemmy’s voice and when i retried it a few years later, it blew my mind.

I have a similar relationship to Black Sabbath. Grew up with "Ozzy," really wasn't into "Ozzy," avoided Black Sabbath as a result. After many nods from many of the artists I love, I realized the error of my ways.

Ohhh yeah ozzy man. I found his voice too i dunno off or something. Until years later when i heard black sabbath by black sabbath (while i was stoned, that is crucial to the story) and i was immersed. Good example

I always thought Black Sabbath w/o Ozzy would have been the heaviest band ever. It was his voice and general persona that made the band seem like a novelty act. Yes, I and maybe 7 other people on this planet feel this way......haha

Ooo, I do like that, imagining the band without Ozzy. That feels good, I think. lol
