🎶 Listening to ~mAntras~ by Alien Ant Farm.

These are the guys who made the almost indisputably best version of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” - less smooth than the original, sure, but criminally good - a rather upsetting 23 years ago.

And here they are decades later, fitting into the category of presumably aging rockers (nu-metalers?) that still sound at least mostly like they did when I was a kid, in my mind at least. Impressive. As always in these circumstances, hard to tell whether nostalgia plays some part in my enjoyment of their latest album, but either way, I find it to be very good.

Another one that makes me wish Guitar Hero was still a thing.
