He tells his friend Lou that he can’t stay at the bar long tonight, because his daughter Julie is turning 16 that very day, and going out on her first date.

"Julie’s Sixteenth Birthday tells the story of Jim, a guy who hangs out in bars, and enjoys a drink, or two, a little more than he should. Instead the album has been singled out as the best of the worst – not for Bult’s singing abilities, but for its unfortunate cover art." "His one and only LP, Julie’s Sixteenth Birthday should have been his calling card to country music stardom.

John Bult John Bult - Julie's Sixteenth Birthdayĭiscogs tells the story of this album best: We also warn you, some aren't quite suitable for work. These are the images that you will most definitely not want gracing your iPhone or Android device when travelling on the tube. Throughout time there have been some quite simply, mind-bogglingly bad covers of albums, some new, most not, and we've decided to round up the funniest, weirdest or those are just downright wrong in a gallery above for you to flick through. And that means there is still the possibility of an album art shocker. It might not adorn the front of a battered single or LP anymore, but we still love having the cover art show up while our tracks are playing through whatever media device or service we happen to be using. Even CDs have seemingly had their day, shunted aside for the convenience of digital downloads and streaming.Ī part of the music business that digital downloads have not cast aside, however, is the humble cover art. The problem, however is not in the rawness of the production itself (I'm quite a fan of good amount of RBM), but in the awfully boring musicianship that just fails to captivate any form of cold atmosphere for which raw black metal is known for.(Pocket-lint) - Tell kids today that we used to buy our music in the form of large circular black plastic discs that got sticky in the sun and they won't believe you. The perfect balance of rawness and audibility that was present on their previous two records is completely lost in favour of just straight up mindless assault of shitty audio recording. Namely, the historic importance of TH is undeniable, it was a record that pretty much defined the core sound of the second wave and influenced quite a bit of artists, but, to my ears, it's just a massive borefest. The fact that this album is dickridden by a confusingly large number of black metal fans doesn't help this record's case at all.

I could really go on and on about my problems with the typical Norwegian black metal sound, calling out bands left and right, bands that made albums much worse than Transilvanian Hunger, but since this is by far my least favourite Darkthrone record, I'll settle here.
