Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted January 20, 2005 Okay, I'll get that one soon. I also got Mastodon at a friend's insistance. I didn't like it much. Anything else you could reccomend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 20, 2005 Which Mastodon? Leviathan's got a lot of great moments and a Neurosisy flow to it, and is pretty off center from just about any other metal band. Remission is more of a "heavy metal" album. It's got great songs and ok songs. Yeah, listen to Neurosis. Souls at Zero or Through Silver and Blood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted January 20, 2005 I got Leviathon. I think I more or less didn't like the vocals. I'll download some Neurosis later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 I think he's on to something. If they've got a flaw, it's the vocals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 20, 2005 I'll hold firm. The vocals translate very well live, where the band comes across yet even more greasy southern than they do on record. Leviathan's subject matter is paranoid and gritty anyway. That's what the vocals sound like on that record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 The Only Ones - The Only Ones Satisfying late 70s Brit punk rock, with 'Another Girl, Another Planet' being the one true timeless classic on it. Swell - ...WELL? Not sure if it quite lives up to the advance billing as 'One of the American albums of the 90s' but it's a grower, great drawling whispery vocals leading up to the twatting of a guitar. Seamonsters is one of my favourite albums ever as well, so it gets solid rotation each week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 Converge-Jane Doe One of my very favorite hardcore albums. I hadn't listened to it in a while. I've been listening to this a lot. Same with Dillinger Escape Plan's Calculating Infinity and Irony is a dead Scene. I don't think Refused fits into the same category, but I've enjoyed that as well. Not totally related, but have you heard much Mr. Bungle? Woah, Mr. Bungle's pretty fucked up. Didn't Mike piss in his shoe and then drink it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 31, 2005 That Dying Fetus album mentioned up there is a very good death metal primer. They use different deathy vocal techniques that are pretty easy to pick out, and extra-easy considering they print all their lyrics in a legible font in the liner for the death newbie. They've also got an excellent grasp on how to make blast and groove grind breakdown techniques mix with standard metal drumming and stay fresh and interesting, plus the guitarist's a total showoff and is technical as hell.

Murmuring Beast 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Love: Da Capo Pre-Forever Changes and surprisingly more experimental, some insane changes in time signature and some excellent musicianship. Six great songs and one bad one, Revelation, which goes on for 19 minutes or so..merely a bland rocker. The Smiths: Meat Is Murder Not as good as The Smiths or The Queen Is Dead, but still very good. Will listen to Strangeways in the coming days too. Doors: Waiting For The Sun Pretty strange stuff here, and I'm not sure what to make of it, but hell, it's The Doors!!

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Anthems of Rebellion- Arch Enemy. I got this album about a year ago I think, and it's still in constant rotation on my car stereo and often times at home. Can't get enough of the Swedes. Toxicity- I got this album the day it came out since they were my favorite band at the time (they still are, by far) and listened to it everyday for like a year or so. I memorized it from start to finish, and of course got sick of it, but now it's getting a bit of a revival in preparation of the two new albums being released next year. I'm fuckin psyched. Watch Them Die (self-titled). This is one of my new obsessions since I've gone into the world of metal, first heard the single "Sadist Ways" off of a sampler I bought at Hot Topic for $3.99 that included music from Century, Nuclear Blast, and Olympic records and WTD apparently is one of the newer Century Media signees. Fast, aggressive thrash with a cool story of serial killing if you follow the album from start to finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 4, 2005 Mike Patton does all kinds of retarded shit. His music is usually awesome, though. Have you heard that one album where he just makes mouth noises for 35 tracks? This could be one of at least two of his albums. I've got the Fantomas s/t..there's nothing but Pattonracket there, vocalwise. You're probably talking about that one he made in a hotel room or some such, I think. I don't have that, but I've heard it before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murmuring Beast 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 The Smiths: Strangeways, Here We Come I actually find this pretty good even if there's not much replay value to it. I even like 'Death At One's Elbow', which is apparently one of the worst Smiths songs ever. The Doors: The Soft Parade Considered to the Doors' weakest (?), I think it's not bad. 'Touch Me', 'Wild Child' and 'Wishful Sinful' are all vintage Doors. The over-production is really quite amusing but the title track is utterly ridiculous: their worst epic song. And Robbie Krieger, as much as I love him, should never sing. Television: Marquee Moon This is very good but I'm still a few listens off from thinking it's great or anything. Enjoyable regardless.
