Ketamine Disaster 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2008 I think we can all be surprised at how well "Encore" came off with Linkin Park, though. I actually like it a tad better than the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WhackingCockDick Report post Posted August 21, 2008 I'm not a Dave Matthews Band fan but I'm surprised that no one mentioned LeRoi Moore's death. Link "All of us are just really sad and down about it," said Tomas, a longtime fan. Totally, dude. I'm gonna listen to "Satellite" right now in his memory.

Copper Feel 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 'One'. I don't even like that 'one' very much. How Corey could consider them to be superior to Black Sabbath is honestly beyond me. Soooooo, upon looking through Pitchfork's list of the best albums of the 1990's, I realise that I have only heard the following: 79. Dr. Dre - The Chronic 71. Dr. Octagon - Octagonecologyst 56. A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory 54. Blur - Parklife 50. Outkast - Aquemini 43. R.E.M - Automatic for the People 36. Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) 33. Nas - Illmatic 32. The Notorious B.I.G - Ready to Die 15. Radiohead - The Bends 12. Slint - Spiderland 06. Nirvana - Nevermind 04. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea 02. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless 01. Radiohead - OK Computer Granted, I am by no means a 'Pitchfork-type-of-person' but this still conveys that I need to hear more from that decade.

Good weekend but tainted a little bit by loosing my bastard camera. Highlights included: Metallica Rage Against The Machine (my band of the weekend) Tenacious D Ting Tings Hadouken! Future of the Left I was hoping Be Your Own Pet were going to be good, but they really weren't. Tenacious D were much better than I thought they would be.

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 Oh, I love them. I saw them in LA a few years ago during my druggie days with Six Feet Under opening for them. Decent show. I saw Skinless on that tour, too. I haven't listened to any of their more recent stuff. How do you rate it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 I'd say their albums (Skinless) rank as such (worst to best): Progression Towards Evil, From Sacrifice to Survival, Foreshadowing Our Demise, and the latest Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead. Although each is pretty much head-and-shoulders above most other US death metal acts. Progression is much more grind-y than everything else they've done, whereas Sacrifice is their more "hardcore beatdown"/melodic album. The title track (ESPECIALLY the video, which starts off just mediocre but then becomes an all-out CZW-style brawl) and the instrumental, "A False Sense of Security," are the best parts, though opener "Front Lines of Sanity" isn't too bad. Demise is just nonstop brutality, taking the grind influence of Progression and adding more technical death aspects. Plus, read the lyrics to "Tug of War Intestines," "Pool of Stool," and "Merrie Melody." They're surprisingly funny. And then Trample is relentless. Plodding, destructive...so few brutal bands could pull off a Sabbath cover ("Wicked World," to be precise) so wonderfully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 It's one of their staples, actually. "The Optimist" (from Foreshadowing) starts off with Vince McMahon yelling "life suck, and then you die." They don't do it as often as they used to, but they still do it. Sacrifice has it the least, actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2008 Hurm. ^ I think that's a pretty beautiful song, actually. Mainly what I've been listening to lately is forgotten one hit wonders from the 60s and crusty grindcore. That "Master Jack" song I first heard at work. I work in a thrift store, and the music there is absolutely phenomenal. Several people have seriously told me they shop there specifically for the music.

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 I don't know why, but I hate this Hall & Oates cover of "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling"...it's strange because I don't have a real problem with H&O. I mean, they do have some decent tunes. This song just really irks me, for some reason. I love the Righteous Brothers version. I don't hate it because it's a cover, it just annoys me, the way the music and vocals are arranged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 I hate to say it, but AC/DC is one of those bands that really should have just hung it up years ago...or at least guys like Angus and Brian Johnson should have moved on to other projects that would perhaps change up their guitar/vocal styles. Their stuff is just way too repetitive. As for Brian Johnson era albums, they hit it big with Back in Black, one of my all-time faves, and then didn't do anything really noteworthy until The Razor's Edge. After that, they should have called it a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
