Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 Pretty similar to yours, although I'd probably say I like Spine of God the best. I do rather like Powertrip, I think it's better than Superjudge for sure, and holds it's own with the rest of the earlier stuff. I still haven't heard their newest one.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 I FINALLY FOUND FOZZY'S NEW ALL-ORIGINALS ALBUM! It's pretty good. A few tracks leave a lot to be desired, especially after the promise that the originals off of Happenstance showed, particularly "To Kill A Stranger." "Born Of Anger," "Lazarus," and "Enemy" are my favorite tunes at the current moment off of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2005 Last year, when Camper Van Beethoven released New Roman Times—their first album in 15 years—I wasn't very impressed with it. However, after seeing them live this past Monday (they were really, really good), I gave it another spin and found I enjoyed it a lot more than I initially did. I like when that happens.

Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 Hail To The Thief is, with the exception of that stupid Mars Volta album, the most self indulgant rock album to be released in years.

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 I recently traded in my old copy of Crunk Juice for the one with the bonus remixes. The remix of "Let's Go" was garbage, as that is one of my favorite songs ever, and they totally did it no justice. I can't really tell if the remix utilized the Halloween theme or if it was just similar, but the first time I heard it I thought I was about to have an orgasm as taking one of my favorite songs ever and putting it over the Halloween theme is just insane on the level of a peanut butter truck crashing into a chocolate truck, but it just didn't work out for some reason. Sad. The remix of "What You Gon' Do" with Elephant Man was really good though, and made me think Elephant Man was ok. I had previously found him a little irritating. Bringing in Bad Brains on "Roll Call" was good as well. I also like the remix of "Lean Back" about a million times better than the original. Eminem and Lil Jon together is fucking cool.

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 The Arcade Fire show last night in D.C. was as good as I had hoped, better in fact. For people on the fence about them, they're worth seeing if they're nearby. When the Napoleon Dynamite-lookin' guy strapped on his motorcycle helmet and started climbing the lighting rig to beat on some parkands with drumsticks, I knew we were in for a pretty good show. The band also has some incredibly cute, slightly retarded looking women in it, which is always a plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 I'm starting to like Emma Bunton's solo albums more than I used to. I generally considered them high average, but after repeated listenings in the right mood, they're getting better. Also, I like the way she looks these days. She always looked kind of retro, physically, but now she's played it up, and comes off very early 70s. Better than her Spice days. I never much cared for Tool.

I've gone through it three times, and I just dont understand the almost fanatical love of this album. Am I missing something? Is there really that much hype for it? I've almost universally seen it reviewed less favorably than the debut. But I love it. It was a slow grower, and then something clicked. The first few times I listened to it, the album sounded fairly pedestrian, and I was disappointed. Now I found myself listening to it about 2-3 times a week. The lyrics are worlds better than on Turn on the Bright Lights, and the group has really amped up their pop sensibility to include all sorts of sounds. It still might not be as good as the debut, but it sounds as if it were made by a much more experienced, improved band, if that makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Neurosis is better than Tool at everything Tool does well, except for be accessible, over nearly the exact same timeframe, more prolifically than Tool. This Neurosis band sounds something I'd like. What are some recommendations? If you accuse Tool of being boring, you probably won't have the patience for Neurosis, as they're very heady. Lots of trancey kinda riffs that go on hypnotically, then change, and it's hard to figure out when exactly that happened, but you'll be glad it did, then it happens again like that. Most of their albums take a couple spins to get into. Through Silver and Blood and Souls at Zero are my two favorite albums of theirs. The newest release, The Eye of Every Storm is a lot more accessible than the other two I mentioned, but probably not as good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Wood Caulfield 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 I've always had a hard time picking my all time favorite album, but the more I listen to Paul's Boutique, the more it becomes my clear cut all time favorite. I LOVE this album so much. And I love it more and more each time I hear it. This is my most listened to Beastie Boys album and with good reason. Now, I have an answer when someone asks me what my favorite album of all time is. It's an awesome record. Speaking of awesome records, can you people recommend me some awesome funk and jazz records? Since some of my favorite rap songs have used funk and jazz samples, I figured that I go straight to the source, and see where these samples came from and see what I find so I would like to know which records to get to start me off. Any help would be great, thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2005 This new Low album, The Great Destroyer, is a lot better than many have claimed. Plus, it doesn't come off *that* different from their last couple of albums, in spite of practically everything being written about it states. Feels like a natural progression.
