The pattern of soundwaves currently leaving your speakers

[eintein]

Well I just downloaded a remix album of Donkey Kong Country tunes (Kong In Concert), so I'm giving that a good listen. >_>

Good thing about this remix albums is they usually avoid that generic 'original game theme with a doof every ten seconds' crap that quite a few video game theme remixes pull, this is no exception, the whole thing's pretty cool to listen to.

[Duck Dodgers]

My mind is currently snaking it's way around the epic clusterfuck of brilliance known as 'Skeletal Lamping' by of Montreal. If there ever was an album cover that represented the music that it contained, this is it.

This thing unfolds into something remarkable.

[Ruda]

I've been listening to a bit of Metallica of late (via GH:M's vids and shit), inspired to after watching the Symphony DVD with Spud. Wouldn't mind suggestions of album downloads downloads. <_<

Gunna get me some Iron Maiden also.

[Duck Dodgers]

Probably avoid of Montreal then...

[Slippery]

I haven't got any new music in a few weeks, I've been really lazy with finding new stuff.

I have been going through the stuff I listened to back in my early highschool years, a lot of it, not great, not great at all.

So many power chords

[eintein]

I've been doing the same, looking at some of the music I have on my computer and thinking 'Why the fuck did I like this at one time?'

I mean, I once listened to Staind. STAIND! THEY'RE FUCKING SHIT!

[Ruda]

I don't have much music on the computer, but I do have old CDs. I'm pretty impressed with most of the stuff I used to listen to, although I can see how I've changed in my musical taste.

Jebidiah, you'll always hold a place in my heart.

Suggestions for Metallica albums you mean? If so 'Ride The Lightning' is easily their best. Followed by 'Master Of Puppets.'
As for Maiden you can't go past 'Number Of The Beast.'

I'm currently listening to IWRESTLEDABEARONCE. I was honestly expecting them to be just some lame gimmicky band and was gonna pass on it all together. Glad I didn't though as there's some pretty good stuff. Although, there is still quite a bit of lame gimmicky stuff, such as their lyrics and shitty samples (including the 8 bit mario theme).

[mittens]

Actually, after having listened to the whole album, it really isn't worth wading through all the shit to get to the good stuff. So many good songs just ruined with shitty samples.

[TAT]

Listening to a few albums atm:

Death Magnetic, Metallica
He Who Shall Not Bleed, Dimension Zero (with a nice cover of Stayin' Alive)
Slaves of the World, Old Man's Child

[eintein]

Suggestions for Metallica albums you mean? If so 'Ride The Lightning' is easily their best. Followed by 'Master Of Puppets.'
As for Maiden you can't go past 'Number Of The Beast.'

Pretty much, for Metallica you basically can't go wrong with their first four albums, all the rest after that are pretty...meh, though.

And for Iron Maiden I liked Brave New World a lot too.

[El Tigre]

For Maiden you should get Powerslave and Fear of the Dark.

[Jeremy's Dick]

'Skeletal Lamping' is pretty underrated imo, it gets better with every listen and was one of my favourites of 2008.

Currently listening to Talking Heads: 77

[Spudzilla]

For Maiden you should get Powerslave and Fear of the Dark.

Fear of the Dark only has like 2 good songs on an album that goes for over an hour.

Get Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Piece of Mind and Somewhere in Time.

[rampaging bowie]

skeletal lamping is pretty bad by of montreal standards

[C.R.E.A.M.]

tbh of montreal are a piss poor act and don't rate amongst similar bands

[Jeremy's Dick]

now now boys, just settle down a bit.

[Duck Dodgers]

Wait, similar bands?

[Jeremy's Dick]

Elephant 6

[Duck Dodgers]

Yeah, I suppose you could say some bands from the Elephant 6 collective are similar....but none are better.

(not including NMH. They're not similar, obviously)

[C.R.E.A.M.]

just face it. lamb of god owns your gay band.

"LoG or nothing" - me on the subject of music

I've been listening to two Telefon Tel Aviv remixes most of today: Apparat's Komponent & American Analog Set's The Green Green Grass. They're both on Remixes Compiled.

[Ruda]

I just found some DVDs from my old boss that are filled with metal. Wesome.

[ChalkFacedGoon]

Currently listening to Talking Heads: 77
Brilliant. Stay on this path and Remain in Light will blow your mind.

Lately for me its been Gang Gang Dance and tonnes of early R.E.M.

[mittens]

Listen to 'The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads' if you haven't already. Best live album ever.

[El Tigre]

Taylor Swift. She's not that bad...

[eintein]

Who are The Beatles?





Felt like putting DOOM OCREMIX on, as such: Beatdrop - Reprocessed

[Tremendous Boob]

@heatz: Revolver and Rubber Soul. That is all.

[A.F.Ceatz]

Yeh, Rubber Soul is great I now have a Norwegian Wood in my pants. Revolver has some hits but overall not as good from my first impressions.

[Dastardly]

Listening to the final part of my brother's birthday present to me, First and Second by Baroness. It is super awesome.

[AndrewFoersChumpington]

Blonde on Blonde

Bob Dylan is simply the best.

[Clancy]

Been listening to the new J. Tillman album.

[Duck Dodgers]

Blonde on Blonde

Bob Dylan is simply the best.

I bought Blonde on Blonde about 3 years ago. I really need to get around to listening to it. I bought it because I listened to the Blood on the Tracks LP and thought it was phenomenal. Idiot Wind is supreme.

[mittens]

The Times They Are a-Changin' was his best.

[Duck Dodgers]

I have that too. Actually, I have 6 of his albums. I got some on special. 2 for $10. Ridiculous price.

[El Tigre]

I am listening to The Black Crowes. I hope that none of you have heard of them so that I can talk about how superior my taste in music is.

[mittens]

Stick with The Last Baron and you shouldn't need to listen to the rest of the album. >_>

[mittens]

Or just listen to Leviathan...

Hello, I Love You by The Doors

Or that, but he could get sick of it after too many listens.

I'm not a fan of Crack the Skye, but I forget how I came to that decision.

Giving Sanctification a bit of a listen to. No idea what album. Silver suggested it several months ago. Not bad.

[mittens]

[eintein]

Speak a good portion of the day listening to The Shepherd's Dog by Iron and Wine out of shitty speakers, will be looking forward to hearing it out slightly better ones.

[A.F.Ceatz]

Regina Spektor - Real Love

and her new album Far.

[TAT]

I dont know any band by that name!
I've got Misanthropic Salvation by Sanctification, and Sanctus Infernum by Sanctus Infernum.

If not you, then who?!

I going to hazard a guess and say it's because you thought it was too widdly and wanky compared to their other stuff?
I'll level with you: outside of Blood and Thunder, I didn't particularly like Leviathan, either >__>

[eintein]

I really should get around to listening to it one day...

[Equinox]

Everything to Nothing - Lamb of God

I wish Lamb of God had become popular earlier in their career, because now that they are a musical force of awesome they are all approaching 40 years old which means they might not have long to go before they quit, or even worse, create shit albums.

[eintein]

I haven't listened to The Gathering for a while, decided to put Nighttime Birds on, felt in a lighter rock mood. Still as good as as I remember.

[Dastardly]

Boy with a Coin - Iron and Wine

[Tremendous Boob]

Just got Octahedron, the new Mars Volta album. Have only listened to the first two songs, but they've impressed me. Teflon *ahem* paints a musical picture that's fairly unique and beautiful.

[Silver]

Just listened to Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds.
Amazing is the only word for it.

Listening to An American Prayer, the Doors album made 7 years after Jim Morrison died. It's based around his poetry and is mostly spoken word. Seems interesting, I can see myself liking it after a few listens.

[Clancy]

Been listening to Moderat's self titled album a lot over the past few days. It's a collab between Apparat and Modeselektor.

[Lazlow]

IFpKiB6_1fE

Kinda stopped listening to these guys when I left Uni in '06, but this week Triple J have had their new album "Old Crows, Young Cardinals" as their feature album. Talk about a contrast in sound, they've done away with the screamo and become some sort of punk/hard rock band.

Either way, today I picked up the new album as it still has some good tunes, as well as a copy of their first album with this song.

Watching this clip also makes me want to watch The Warriors.

edit:

A8qYbtRVNno

Forgot about this song, its awesome too

For reference, here's their newest single

Only member to change from the first vid to this, is the drummer.

FTR, I love the new album. This isn't a "I-like-your-old-stuff-better-than-your-new-stuff" rant, more a great example of how a young band can grow.

Lil Wayne - Grown Man (feat. Currency)

[TAT]

System of a Down - Revenga

Oh, and to introduce a bit of back-and-forth to the thread:

Songs that remind you of Stuff

This cd and it's accompaniment (Mesmerize/Hypnotize) were what I was listening to a few years ago in the days of the Xbox and my love of the decent-but-flawed Need for Speed: Underground 2.

There's another weird feeling I'm getting while listening: familiarity and unfamiliarity; I'm not the same person now as the one who was in love with this album.

[eintein]

The Bazaar - The Tea Party

The Tea Party are fucking awesome Moroccan rollers. >_> Everytime I feel I'm kinda getting bored with the music on my iPod I flick these guys on and remember some of the awesome stuff I've put on there but forget to listen to after a while.


Also, as for your suggestion TAT:

Everytime I listen to Hate Crew Deathroll by Children Of Bodom I'm immediately reminded of Black, on Xbox, simply because it was one of the few games that let you play music off your hard drive in the actual game, and capping peeps to Needled 24/7 is just plain fucking awesome fun! Plus since the game is about explosions and shit the fast paced music all just psyched me up generally.

[TAT]

I lied about Hypnotize, btw.

Only Mesmerize reminded me of NFS:U2; Hypnotize is reminding me of Harry Potter, which I must have been reading at the time this came out.

[Spudzilla]

I'm listening to 2112 for the first time in ages and still love it.

Meshuggah - I

Found this in the back shed while cleaning up the other day. I'd 'lost' it when my mp3s went earlier in the year. I'm listening to Meshuggah's newest, Obzen, quite a bit and I'm curious to relisten to the previous albums knowing as much about their timing as I do now (check their wiki for a really cool explanation).

[El Tigre]

Look mate, just call it indie. It's not rock, rock has balls. Every indie artist has been castrated.

[Jeremy's Dick]

Are you talking to Jay-Z, mate?

[eintein]

what a bunch of sellouts, we're an independent indie artist YEAH!

[meatrocket]

Combustion by Meshuggah.

Woo!

[eintein]

Fuck I really need to get around taking Incubus off my iPod, there's like only one song I even find enjoyable, the rest makes me want to shoot myself.

[Jeremy's Dick]

keflex, you got the latest Atlas Sound? This shit is magic (http://bolachas.org/atlas-sound-logos-4ad-2009).

[Gobias Industries]

Went to see Dappled Cities tonight and they were pretty meh, but their support, Philadelphia Grand Jury were REALLY great live. I highly recommend that anyone who has the chance to see them live.

[Duck Dodgers]

keflex, you got the latest Atlas Sound? This shit is magic (http://bolachas.org/atlas-sound-logos-4ad-2009).

New Atlas Sound? How's I miss this?

Thank you Sloppytront.

Also, just on Grizzly Bear. I've listened to Veckatimest quite a few times now and I just can't get into it. Southern Point, All We Ask, Ready Able, While You Wait for the Others are great tracks (Two Weeks is good, but gets old quickly), no doubt, but I lose interest every second song.

Anyway, what I'm listening to

Handsome Furs - Handsome Furs Hate This City

[Tremendous Boob]

x733dICtd-g&

Kinda interesting

[twofivefour]

Catching up on a lot of music I missed. Right now, I'm working my way through Ghosts I-IV and enjoying the fuck out of it.

[eintein]

Mastodon - Colony Of Birchmen

[keflex]

keflex, you got the latest Atlas Sound? This shit is magic (http://bolachas.org/atlas-sound-logos-4ad-2009).
i never liked the original atlas sound tbh

anyways, recently:

nudge - as good as gone
sonic youth - the eternal
health - get color

all good, all v good

[Duck Dodgers]

Destroyer - Bay of Pigs

Typical Dan Bejar in Destroyer mode.. awesome.

Also, I'm really starting to warm to Handsome Furs latest, Face Control. The last track, Radio Kaliningrad, is fantastic.

[eintein]

Lisa Miskovsky - Foxholes

SWEDISH POP

[Quatterarbro]

We Fight For Love - Power Station

[keflex]

jamming the cool as ice ost

this is so awesome

[eintein]

Taylor Swift remixes, this is how I live my life

[MEATBALL]

Porcupine Tree - Time Flies

Really enjoying The Incident.

[A.F.Ceatz]

I'd like to be listening to the remastered beatles tracks... but for now all I've got are shitty stereo low quality rips.

[Quatterarbro]

Is Mike Patton Tomahawk?

[eintein]

If Tomahawk is a euphemism for "a shit unoriginal hack" then yes.

[Sir Faggot Dibs]

Dir En Grey - Akuro No Oka

Sweet bass solo.

[C.R.E.A.M.]

z9QuGI0a2Lw

HOKxaVpTR-g

0rp_2RY3_3E

I don't think Rush is really my style, but I like this. Listening to 2112 Overture/The Temples of Syrinx now.

[Jeremy's Dick]

The Replacements - Let It Be.

I feel like a kid playing Tony Hawk 2 on my Nintendo 64.

[Dancel Pow]

The Replacements - Let It Be.

I feel like a kid playing Tony Hawk 2 on my Nintendo 64.

Speaking of Tony Hawk songs:


Dead Kennedys - Police Truck

:D

[mittens]

The Stooges - Self Titled

[eintein]

Iced Earth - Stormrider

FILE

RABBLE

STORMRIDER

STORMRIDER

[keflex]

replacements are one of my favourite bands xclnt work sloppy, try out tim & pleased to meet me they're equally good and perhaps better

[Tremendous Boob]

Pavement-Our Singer

Good stuff.

[Jeremy's Dick]

(yn) Pavement come to Australia for their reunion.

David Bowie - Low

[keflex]

whether pavement tour aus or not will live or die on the upcoming malkmus tour. tbh given that i only 'love' slanted i'm not exactly ridiculously keen

[eintein]

The Gathering - In Power We Entrust The Love Advocated

Look, I may as well admit now that I think Anneke is the best god damn female singer on the planet, and this song is pretty much a perfect example of that.

[keflex]

the gathering are cool for covering as the sun hits but the original's vocals were more in line with the intent of the song

[eintein]

imo a good cover works their own feelings of and about the song into it anyway, just cannabalising the intentions of a song from the original artist makes a cover almost entirely pointless, I think.

[Tremendous Boob]

Genesis-Back In NYC

Fantastic stuff. I'm gonna be a 70s prog expert by the time I leave school )h(

[keflex]

agreed aran but aside from the vocals the song is pretty much exactly the same so yeah

[eintein]

Yeah but it's Anneke singing that was my point WHATEVS

[Jeremy's Dick]

Saint Etienne - Like a Motorway.

[keflex]

man i love saint etienne, haven't had a new album in 4 years tho

[mittens]

PJ Harvey - Missed.

I would bed her ugly arse just for the last note she sings in this song. Best song ever recorded by a female.

[Tremendous Boob]

Television-Marquee Moon

It's decent, but not as good as I was led to believe. I'm disappointed.

[Jeremy's Dick]

Television-Marquee Moon

It's decent, but not as good as I was led to believe. I'm disappointed.

It's a definite grower.

UNKLE - Psyence Fiction.

[eintein]

Hmm, I should do my assignment, but I also just bought Frances The Mute and want to listen to the whole thing through...

[Tremendous Boob]

Meh, I pussied out, I'm listening to some of the apparently "challenging" Pink Floyd from between where Syd went crazy and Meddle. Quite liking it.

EDIT: Aran, listen to it while doing work, don't pay too much attention to it. I listened to it intently when I got into it. Too intently. I overlistened and now I can't really listen to it without zoning out.

Or you know. Whatever. Fantastic album.

[A.F.Ceatz]

listening to the remastered Beatles albums and comparing them with the older releases.

[eintein]

If it was just doing some normal work and shit then yeah, I probably would, but since it's something I actually have to put effort into, trying to listen to new music at the same time is just going to cause trouble.

[Tremendous Boob]

Well cram. I should be cramming actually...

[eintein]

Actually it's okay, I bought Octavarium today as well, and I've already heard half the tracks from it. Tonight is now officially planned.

[Tremendous Boob]

Do you mean Octahedron?

If so the best track is the second from last, Copernicus (1)

[eintein]

No, Octavarium is a album by popular progressive metal band Dream Theater. )h(

[Tremendous Boob]

Ah. Was considering wikiing but cbf struck.

[keflex]

the point is both those albums are terrible aran and you are shit

husker du - warehouse: songs and stories

for the record i like marquee moon but i don't love marquee moon

[eintein]

Oh yeah WHATEVER MUSIC YOU LIKE IS TERRIBLE snap

[keflex]

okay

octavarium is terrible because much like every dream theater release, there's very little in the way of growth and maturation and songcraft takes a backseat to displays of instrumental prowess. moreover, the lyrics are as always cringeworthy.

frances the mute is a regression from de-loused on the comatorium as de-loused's highlights were songs like intertiac esp that utilised strong songwriting. frances pushes the band more towards their experimental tendencies and as a result the album falls flat underneath its own conceptual weight as the music tries too hard to be interesting and forgets that it actually has to be palatable. good, even.

now aran, why is the album i selected 'terrible'?

[meatrocket]

kelfex still doesn't understand the awesome power of the umlaut!

[keflex]

cbf symbols on keyboard, it's there on my id3 tags

[Jeremy's Dick]

Animal Collective - Feels

[keflex]

i honestly do not understand the appeal of animal collective

[Jeremy's Dick]

After Grass I decided to move on:

♪♫ There was a time, everybody was around and I was dancing with you, we all went down, to the party friday night and had a drink there or two...♪♫

i honestly do not understand the appeal of animal collective

I like Feels, Strawberry Jam and Sung Tongs a lot more than MPP. You tried them all?

[keflex]

aww man best song ever

[Lazlow]

Dämmerung - Equilibirum

[eintein]

octavarium is terrible because much like every dream theater release, there's very little in the way of growth and maturation and songcraft takes a backseat to displays of instrumental prowess. moreover, the lyrics are as always cringeworthy.

If Dream Theater actually seriously wrote their lyrics in such a cringeworthy way you might actually have a point. As it stands they enjoy wallowing in their own crapulence, and I enjoy going along for the ride.

Going back to your first point: see above. And actually, I've found in their last few releases they have gone someway to showing some "growth" and "maturity"...and have been worse off for it (I just finished listening to Octavarium and it's nowhere near their best, probably will only listen to Panic Attack regularly again).

On a side note, I think that's a bullshit argument for considering the quality of a band, if a band already has well and truly established where they want to be and the reason for why the audience that listens to them likes them. To want to attempt to "grow" and "mature" *for no reason other than WELL THAT'S WHAT WE DO NOWADAYS BOYS, well, time for a things were better back in the day when people didn't care and just listened because it sounded pretty good post.

Also I know you haven't actually listened to Octavarium and are just going by what you think Dream Theater generally are, so that's what you got back in return, plus a little side rant.

*(and I'm putting those words in quotes because they are weak words that people who look at and criticise/review music seem to use when they don't actually know what they're trying to say, or can't specify the point they want to make but "growth and maturity seem pretty close to it right?!")

frances the mute is a regression from de-loused on the comatorium as de-loused's highlights were songs like intertiac esp that utilised strong songwriting. frances pushes the band more towards their experimental tendencies and as a result the album falls flat underneath its own conceptual weight as the music tries too hard to be interesting and forgets that it actually has to be palatable. good, even.

I'm going to ignore all your points and just say for the brief period I've listened to it, it's already hooked me. And again, I like it not because of any intentionally experimental leanings of the band towards the album or whatever, but simply because it sounds good to me.

now aran, why is the album i selected 'terrible'?

Because you like it faggot.

(I don't know, I haven't heard it, but given it's genre, it sounds like the type of music I wouldn't like, thus why it's terrible.)

[eintein]

Eat a dick Fenrir, that's how you make a tl;dr post.

[Spudzilla]

MOWnT6HZel4

[Jeremy's Dick]

Dinosaur Jr. - Start Choppin
Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky
Heavenly - C is the Heavenly Option

[keflex]

yeah aran was about to say

tl;dr

anyways start choppin' is pretty sweet I DON'T WANNA SAY GOODBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE

[keflex]

actually scratch that aran i just don't care for your opinion

from what i did read though you're still a retard

[eintein]

Probably.

[Jeremy's Dick]

There's been an accident like GEICO
They thought I was burnt up like Pepsi did Michael
I must gotta angel
Cause look how death missed his ass
Unbreakable, what you thought they called me Mr. Glass
Look back on my life like the ghost of Christmas past
Toys R Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash
And I still wont grow up, I'm a grown ass kid
Swear I should be locked up for stupid shit that I did
But I'm a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumph
Make music that's fire, spit my soul through the wire

[Jeremy's Dick]

Also, Aran, Mastodon is 99999999999% better than Dream Theater.

[meatrocket]

And they play totally different music too!

[Jeremy's Dick]

And they play totally different music too!

Guitar World magazine interviewed MASTODON's Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher for its November 2006 issue. An excerpt from the chat follows:

Guitar World: Let me posit something: You guys definitely have prog elements to your sound, and yet you're exciting and valid — you're cool. Why do you think you're cooler than a band like, say, DREAM THEATER?

Hinds: "Because we don't have a little Chinese girl playing bass! [laughs]"

Guitar World: Yikes!

Hinds: "And they dress all gay, too. I mean, look at them: they wear those cheesy leather pants. The lead singer especially: he's got that really gay thing going on with his hair. Plus, he sings like a fucking opera singer and shit. Their hair, their clothes, their music...They're gay."

Guitar World: Now, wait a second. Are you calling DREAM THEATER a "Brokeback" band? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Hinds: "No, I don't mean 'gay' like that. I just mean...gay. [laughs]"

Kelliher: "I think what might make us 'cool' and them 'uncool' is the lack of egos in our band. We don't try to show off our amazing versatility every second."

[eintein]

Also, Aran, Mastodon is 99999999999% better than Dream Theater.

No shit.


But still, prog elements != prog band

[keflex]

it does if you're an indie dood aww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

so keen for agalloch at work, need to get pumped for gay customers

[eintein]

Indie is the new Bob's Country Bunker

[Tremendous Boob]

Haha Sloppy that's great.

Bedlam In Goliath>Frances The Mute>De-Loused>Amputechture>Octahedron

imo

[Clancy]

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Contender

[eintein]

Well I finished listening to Frances The Mute on the train home, and loved every minute of it. Actually through the last two "tracks" it reminded a lot like the music my dad raised me on, which was kind of neat.

[Dastardly]

Four Tet - Parks

[Sir Faggot Dibs]

I have heard no Mastodon, what is their best album so I can check them out?

[Dastardly]

imo, Leviathan>Blood Mountain>Crack the Skye>Remission.

Going by that, either Leviathan or Blood Mountain

[Tremendous Boob]

Crack The Skye is probably more accessible, a lot more hooks n' stuff.
