I think Bloc Party will make a big splash in the States.
I sense that they're probably gonna be the "next big thing", too.
I still have to give the album a few more listens, but I like it so far.
Wow, you either have a lot of money to spend on albums or you actually know how to use your broadband connection.
I do tend to make use of my internet...
Don't report me!
;)
If I still HAD some semblence of 'internet,' believe me, I'd use it.
I feel for you.
How is Mastadon-Leviathan on a scale of 1-16?
:?)
1-16, eh?
I would put it at 12/13.
It's essentially creative and interesting metal. I'm a big fan of driving at night with it on.
Have you heard yourself some Isis?
I have not, should I?
Yes, yes indeed. They aren't as traditionally oriented as Mastadon, but they can still hand you your ass in a sling. Their latest album, "Panopticon", is my second favorite album of the year.
I'm gonna have to keep my eyes peeled. Thanks for the tip.
I was a fan of metal before they started growling like demons all the time. It seems that any metal bands that have good riffs and guitar work have these terrible vocals. Does Mastadon use the 'black metal vocals,' or whatever you want to call it? How 'bout Isis? Know of any current, creative heavy metal bands that don't use crappy vocals? (besides Dream Theater)
Mastadon does use the black-metal voice, but it's not as bad as some bands.
I like it, and I usually hate metal.
Isis does the growling thing as well, but they bury the vocals so far back in the mix that it might as well just be feedback.
The problem, of course, is that when you're dealing with sheer volume, it's damned difficult to make a normal singing voice heard over it. Thus, the gutteral scream. I've grown used to it, though I still don't much care for the Cookie-Monster-bass-level growl used by most death metal bands. Which brings up the band Arch Enemy... their last two albums have seen them fronted by a skinny blond chick who can outgrowl any guy on the planet. The beauty of it is that, because of the higher pitch of the female voice, it's not nearly as irritating.
d'oh!
I have this album called My Dying Bride- Turn Loose The Swans which although not current pertains to this conversation in that it's the exact opposite of most metal. Basically just humming along at low levels while the singer moans his weird lyrics. You could call it anti-metal if you wanted to, but I don't so...
Mark Lanegan Band: Bubblegum is great old-school hard-rock/metal.
:?)
"Got no time, no money, thats why I get em up, put em up, get your dukes up now!"
Modest Mouse can always be counted on for great one-liners in songs.
Ah...someone who's as compulsive as I am in their music consumption.
I'm like a junkie!
Is the new Beck album completed or did you acquire a slightly finished download?
I have the entire album, but its out of order...I haven't even gotten a chance to listen to it yet.
Here's hoping for a good one!
Did you like 10,000 Hz. Legend?, i might be biased being Air one of my favorite bands, but i believe this is one of the most underrated albums of all time.
I actually have yet to listen to it (school is keeping me busy these days), but I do like Air a lot, so I expect good things.
Another Green World rules.
Oh my! How is Vision Created Newsun?
If you even have to ask that, you shouldn't be thinking about buying Boredoms albums. :-)
Pretty damned, damned good.
It may be in your interest to check out an album Elephant Eyelash by Why?. I just picked it up, and upon first few listens, am quite impressed. Might be something you'd like as well. Oh, also, thanks for bringing up the band Mates of State, as I checked them out because of that, and was pretty blown away.
