ITT we discuss bands and artists of this awesome genre. I personnally am always searching for new bands like that and I'm probably not alone! :P
As most people here probably knows: Unexpect is my favorite band of all-time. Ulver is also pretty popular around here!
Here is a rough list of some experimental bands other than those two:
Mr. Bungle
Stolen Babies
Pin-Up Went Down
Diablo Swing Orchestra
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
GO! :)
-
Experimental metal in its broadest terms is probably my favorite type of music overall.
Other good bands besides the ones mentioned:
maudlin of the Well
Kayo Dot (only their first album fits here, but its the greatest thing ever)
Fantomas
Ved Buens Ende
Tomahawk
Grayceon
-
I still need to get that Kayo Dot CD...I don't find it anywhere in stores so I might have to buy it online.
-
You need to get every Kayo Dot album.
Now.
-
I think the guy behind maudlin and Kayo also did a pretty good solo album amirite?
-
Yeah, it's fucking awesome. Really, REALLY out there, but awesome nonetheless.
I actually wrote a review for it, which got exactly 0 replies :lol :sadpanda:: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=2632.0
-
Yeah! That's what I had in mind! I remember getting very interested by reading your review but I could'nt find any previews of it in the interwebs so I eventually forgot about it. :blush
But yeah I have to check that out, all three of his projects.
And while I'm on-topic --> I'm gonna see Unexpect live three times over the coming month! :metal
-
>:(
-
Irony is a Dead scene, the most avant garde metal album I've heard.
-
Probably the best EP ever recorded, or damn close to it.
-
Is that the one with Patton as a guest?
-
Is that the one with Patton as a guest?
Correct, and it contains some of the most insane metal ever.
-
The Butcher's Ballroom :metal
I love Diablo Swing Orchestra. I don't have their second album though. How's it?

Superb. One of my favourite 2009 releases. Get it! :metal
-
To add to the list:
Dog Fashion Disco
Polkadot Cadaver

Here's a list of bands I've found avant-garde in the last month to two months:
Burst, get their 2008 album Lazarus Bird
Candiria, get their albums from 1997 & 1999
Ephel Duath, get The Painter's Palette (has lots of saxophone, people describe this album as "jazz metal" lol, though Pain Necessary To Know focuses on more jazz guitar and random staccato riff breaks in many sections which I found irritating but it was still a cool find regardless)
Fredrik Thordendal, his only album called Sol Niger Within deals with lots of metal riffage at groove tempos and his signature Holdsworth influenced jazz fusion solos and also becomes experimental. For the guys that love epic length albums on a single track.
Ihsahn, everybody has After by now right.
(forgot a strong recommendation! if you were to check out something from this list, pick this first) Yakuza, I really enjoyed Transmutations
---
That's it for now.
-
Arcturus is also great. La Masquerade Infernale is an excellent record!
And Tactile Gemma is consider avant-garde but they're hardly metal at all...
EDIT:Yeah, it's fucking awesome. Really, REALLY out there, but awesome nonetheless.
I actually wrote a review for it, which got exactly 1 reply :) : https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=2632.0

To add to the list:
Dog Fashion Disco
Polkadot Cadaver
Hell Yes.

That is really good! :omg:
EDIT: I thought the monkeys in this clip looked familiar! Now I know were I saw them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQEmaj9C6ko
-
Gorguts tends to be lumped into the "Experimental Metal" groups, so I figured I'd bring them up. Obscura is a masterpiece, both compositionally and technically! :metal
-
To add to the list:
Dog Fashion Disco
Polkadot Cadaver
Hell Yes.

I'll swallow you whole with milk and then spit out the bones.
Edit: Since I didn't get to speak to you last night and did you get Sole Survivor alright?
-
I did. The song is really awesome and I can't believe it, uh...didn't rip properly. The nerve of some people. That looping at the end is ridiculous though. :lol
-
Unexpect
Stolen Babies
Diablo Swing Orchestra
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
maudlin of the Well
All of these. Oh my god all of these.
Unexpect being my all time favourite, followed closely by DSO. GAWD DAMNIT I WANT NEW UNEXPECT NAO!
-
Arcturus, Kayo Dot, maudlin of the Well, and Ephel Duath have already been mentioned.
I'll add Age of Silence, Frantic Bleep, In The Woods..., Peccatum, and Solefald to the list.
-
Noobs, everyone knows that The Sham Mirrors is the best avant-garde album ever.
(Sorry Sigz)
-
Noobs, everyone knows that The Sham Mirrors is the best avant-garde album ever.

yes yes a thousand times yes.

Do Shining (NOR) count as avant-garde?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eXUjfVPkGk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eXUjfVPkGk)
The answer is yes

That title belongs to In a Flesh Aquarium. :P

THIS!

I feel like an asshole for not mentioning Buckethead in my list. I mean, he does a lot of straight forward stuff, but he's mostly Avant-garde and experimental. Hell, he's the reason I delved deeper into the genre and found Unexpect.
-
I feel like a complete n00b but I've never heard any Buckethead...
-
Bucketheadland 2, Monsters and Robots, Inbred Mountain and Albino Slug. Nao.
And just for funsies:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bSZslEDUl0
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bSZslEDUl0
WTF
Which of those 4 CDs should I get first, Lat?
-
So what about an all-star Avant-garde line-up?? :)
I'll try:
Vocals: Mike Patton (Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, etc.)
Guitar: Buckethead (solo) :P
Bass: ChaotH (Unexpect)
Keys/Stuff: Garm (Ulver)
Drums: Tomas Haake (Meshuggah)
Holy cow! :omg:
Polkadot Cadaver
I'm really getting into these guys! I was listening to Chloroform Girl by them and then I read the lyrics. :|
-
Vocals: A Tibetan Yak during mating season
Music: Shaken-up can of Mountain Dew Red
So fucking avant-garde.

SHIT. :omg: How did I forget him? The man's a genius, plain and simple.
Honestly, if you want his most avant-garde stuff from that list, I'd say go with Inbred Mountain. If you want a more straightforward album, go with Albino Slug. If you want something completely out of this world and weird, go with Bucketheadland 2, and if you want a cool album with some forgettable tracks (but with many amazing ones), go with Monsters and Robots.
-
Or you could really fuck up your perception of reality and just listen to Bermuda Triangle.
-
Buckethead is amazing stuff!! Why on earth did I've never heard of him before?! :facepalm:
-
This is swiftly becoming one of my favorite genres. My top artists considered part of it:
Ulver (well, not the metal part)
Mr. Bungle
Fantômas
Kayo Dot
maudlin of the Well
Unexpect
Diablo Swing Orchestra (thanks Lat)
Buckethead
Recommend me some more! :tup
-
You'd better have maudlin of the Well already.
-
Diablo Swing Orchestra (thanks Lat)
Not a problem, mang. DSO really needs all the exposure they can get. They are so talented yet don't nearly enough recognition.
You'd better have maudlin of the Well already.
Also this. Get their album Bath. Now. Right. Now.
-
whatever do you mean I have them on the list
-
Get all their albums.
Also, lat, from their first album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIi83RGScoE
-
GET SOME UNEXP-hum...good! :tup
Also, I recommend Stolen Babies. Pretty awesome band with elements of dark cabaret and a pretty good female singer.
-
Definitely second Stolen Babies. Also Tomahawk if you don't already have it.
-
I think Sigz posted a Stolen Babies song in a Skype convo and it kicked all kinds of ass. And I can't find any Tomahawk :(
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt856_nRxQk
-
I've heard that song before, but that's all. Awesome, though :tup
Also Irony Is a Dead Scene is the best thing ever
-
Get all their albums.
Also, lat, from their first album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIi83RGScoE
GOD!! That is amazing! :omg:

:heart maudlin

I'm giving Bath another listen right now :hat

oh gawd

Arcturus fit the bill for this thread perfectly.
Ulver's metal stuff too, just amazing.
-
I've only heard "La Masquerade Infernale" by Arcturus...but I liked what I've heard.

Unexpect are going independent!
October 5, 2010
2010 has been quite scarce in terms of words isn't it ?.
...so much to say though !
Let us fill those empty spaces with some radioactive thoughts.
On the stage side : For those who are not yet aware of it, we'll start an Eastern Canadian Tour in less than 1 week ! At our sides will play the bands STREAM OF PASSION from Netherlands and MANAHIL from Montreal.
The following band will also be part of the musical rumble :
Metric Madness @ Rimouski
Instanzia @ Saint-Hyacinthe
Elliptic @ Quebec City
Inner Control @ Jonquière
Despised Icon, Misery Index & more @ Rouyn-Noranda
Unveil et Smelly Pedros @ Sherbrooke
Half Past Four @ Toronto
Transe Metal Machine @ Montreal
Necronomicon, Insides Out & Signs of Chaos @ Ottawa ( without Manahil & Stream of Passion)
To celebrate this pre-pumpkins tour, we'll not stop at one crime...we'll indeed play 2 new songs for the curious minds !
Since we never mentioned the following tidbit in this newsletter here it is : We now have an official Facebook page... A lot of you are already participating...we love tho read you so keep it up !
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Unexpect/238413107024
Speaking of novelties...
After some deep and profound thinking, we finally decided to take back the reins of our destiny and go Independent for the release of the next album !
We gave this option a lot of attention/thinking time and the conclusion was that we think it's all positive and for the best !
And the fact of removing intermediaries will let us be even closer to our public!
The album has been completed for a while and we're currently working on some re-adjustments so that we can release it as soon as we have the ideal conditions. More details to come about a release date. Thanks for your patience...it'll be worth it we assure you !
Now...probably a lot of you already heard about Exod's departure from the band a few months ago. Some say that he's traveled in time, exploded, and thus would be at the origin of the Big Bang.
But that is one wacky theory...some people are crazy I tell ya !
The lifestyle and sacrifices that goes with touring is not to everyone's taste and it's been the main reason behind his choice ( this...and the fact that peanut butter is definitely too hard to find in Europe).
We were already talking about all of this while touring North America in 2008 so it's been a well thought decision that we all knew of for a long time.
That said, it doesn't mean that there won't be more future collaborations with him as we're still very good friends and are, as always, totally musically compatible...as you'll be able to hear on the new album ;)
For the shows, Exod, our favourite cyborg, prepared an electronic alter ego (read : a sequence ) which reproduce exactly the same sonorities as when he was physically with us. It feels like playing with an invisible Exod.
We're not currently searching for a replacement but we stay open to diverse possibilities !
Talk soon !
PS: Should I start an official Unexpect Thread? I wanted to start one (that is not a necrothread) but I fear we're just a few fans of the band here. Should I start one anyway? Or should I bump the old one?

Going to see Dog Fashion Disco play their two best albums: "Anarchists of Good Taste" and "Adultery" with a VIP ticket in Baltimore.
ROLL ON JUNE! :caffeine: :caffeine: :caffeine: :caffeine: :caffeine:

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
I don't consider them metal. More like avant-garde rock with some metal tendencies.

Hmm, I don't know. I've never heard of something like "avant-garde rock". The whole thing with avant-garde is to mix up genres so of course they're not really metal. They are enough metal to be categorized as AGM though, IMO.

My first thought upon seeing this thread was Harmony Bay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJOInbAdaKY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJOInbAdaKY)
Awkward rhythms everywhere. Completely batshit insane, it's awesome.
I've found a lot of great bands lately through Last.FM. I've actually found Harmony Bay radio and Zvoyn radio to be two of my favorites. A few selected bands for anyone interested
https://www.last.fm/music/zenziC (https://www.last.fm/music/zenziC)

https://www.last.fm/music/Mothguts (https://www.last.fm/music/Mothguts)
GET SOME UNEXP-hum...good! :tup
Also, I recommend Stolen Babies. Pretty awesome band with elements of dark cabaret and a pretty good female singer.
That really made me think of The World/Inferno Friendship Society. They refer to themselves as cabaret punk/circus punk. They come out sounding fairly avant garde. They remind me of DSO, but they're not quite that. Classic instruments with some punkish sound female vocals sounding really fun and out there.

Seeing Kayo Dot on tuesday :caffeine: :caffeine: :caffeine:
-
Bumped for sadness. :(
We are announcing the following shows:
April 7th, 2011 - Casbah, San Diego, CA
April 8th, 2011 - Troubador, Los Angeles, CA
April 10th, 2011 - The Independent, San Francisco, CA
If you go to these shows, you will have seen Sleepytime Gorilla Museum for the last time. As it turns out, we are being replaced.
It has been an honor to make our music with you, both in the room and not. Though these are our final performances, we are still in the process of finishing a new record, a short film called 'The Last Human Being', and a compendium live DVD that's been gathering source material for the past six years.
You will be invited to take part in both the final shows, and the shooting of the final scene of our film in early August. Please stay tuned.
Ambugaton.
-The Museum
-
Oh no! :sadpanda: That is really sad...
-
Indeed. :sadpanda: However, the "we are being replaced" statement really confuses me.
-
Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I think it is just a way of saying that there will be other bands and music to take their place since they are leaving the scene.
-
Yeah that's what I was considering. Still I regret never being able to see one of their shows. I'm sure it'd be quite the experience.
-
Me too! They were quite renowned for their stage antics/presence. Ah well, at least the thought of a new album comfort me a bit.
-
Fuuuuck I wish I lived in Cali. Definitely excited about all the stuff they're putting out though. It shall dull the sads.
-
Seeing Kayo Dot on tuesday :caffeine: :caffeine: :caffeine:
How it was? :)

HOLY FUCK I GOT TO MEET TOBY DRIVER AND HE WAS AWESOME
It was incredible. They played all of Coyote except Cartogram Out of Phase, followed by Blue Lambency Downward, The Antique, and On Limpid Form. I would have liked to see another song from Choirs or maybe Aura on an Asylum Wall, but they were still amazing. The Antique and On Limpid Form were absolutely devastating.

Seriously, he's an awesome guy. Really down to earth, really nice. I asked him about the possibility of a second solo album, and he said it's something he'd love to do, it's just a matter of money. I recommended that he try kickstarter for it, especially since that worked with Tartar Lamb II and (essentially the same thing) Part the Second. He said he'd look into it :caffeine:

NEW POLKADOT CADAVER ALBUM IN MAY :dangerwillrobinson:

I didn't know there were any Polkadot Cadaver fans other than me here! :D My mom actually got me into them. :lol

Me and Harry like them a hell of a lot. I don't know of anybody else though, sadly. :-\
I'm pre-ordering my copy of Sex Offender and that bitchin' shirt soon. I can't wait. :caffeine:
-
I like them too! You forgot me! :'(

Awesome! I'm glad other people here are aware of the genius. They have a new song out that's only out for another day or so. I'm loving it so far.

The song he sent you in the roulette is on that album. All the members in PC are from DFD, if you didn't know already.
-
Well, except the bassist. ;)
-
Yeah but everyone knows that bassists don't count as people, never mind band members.
-
Stolen Babies is the only band I like from this genre so far, maybe cause out of all the others I tried of that genre; they're the only band that has songs with structure and arrangement..
-
lol
-
I know, I'm trying to get it, I guess I'm old heh
-

Stolen Babies is one of my favorite bands now, nice pop sensibilities mixed with that weird, avant-garde edge. I love it.
Diablo Swing Orchestra is similar in that regard. You may want to give them a try if you haven't already.
-
Anyone heard of The Amazing BrandO? He used to be part of the nerdcore hiphop duo Duane and BrandO. But they split, and now he's making (from what I can tell) crazy avant-garde. My friend sent me the song Endless Relentless the other day. Fucking spectacular and balls out crazy.
-
Cool. I'm now an admin on Polkadot Cadaver/Knives Out/Dog Fashion Disco's street team Facebook page :hat
-
Awesome. You'd best share any street team perks you get with me (like NEW SONGS GOD DAMMIT).

I have done and I will :P
Oh and if any of you guys are wanting to pre-order Polkadot Cadaver's new album, here's the link:

Just got an update from Polkadot Cadaver:
"Hey everybody!
Just a quick update to bring everyone up to speed.
* We will be announcing the "All of My Friends are Dead" tour hopefully on Thursday. Dates are still coming in but it is to the point now that we really just need to roll with it. Once this happens I will get the promo materials out to the right people in the right markets!
* Our myspace page has been completely re-done. It now is a little more presentable for you to steer people towards to listen to the new song "Cake and Eat it Too".
* Pre-Order is going alright, we have 290 confirmed sales so far, but this is not nearly enough. Our goal was to do 1000+ so we really need to step it up! If you haven't ordered yet, please do so. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!!! Go to MERCHNOW.COM and order.
*We have a TOP-SECRET guest vocalist coming to the studio tonight to do a track for the NEXT PDot album.... Stay tuned!
Keep the faith Bon Jovi style.
jasan"
Link to the new song:
https://www.myspace.com/160200680/music/songs/07-Cake-and-Eat-it-Too-mp3-80577742
-
NICE! THe new song is excellent.
But the guest vocalist is on the next album? They didn't finish it yet?
-
No no. I assume he meant for the NEXT album after Sex Offender.
If they're already working on it, I'd say we might be able to expect the new one in a timely manner. :D
-
So Polkadot Cadaver just asked people if they liked Clutch for some reason...

You can now buy Polkadot Cadaver's new song "Bloodsucker" from either Amazon or iTunes!

lolol
I bought it today. It's quite good but not as good as Cake and Eat it Too.

More like Gay Party amirite
-
Genius.
More like Anarchists of Good Taste, amirite?
...
-
I think you mean Gay Taste.
-
Probably.
-
Well, since MerchNOW screwed up all of the pre-orders for the new Polkadot Cadaver album (and we probably won't get them until the end of the week), I decided to obtain it through other means. It's pretty awesome.
TOTALLY LISTENING NOW.
-
GAH THE NEW UNEXPECT ALBUM FEELS SO FAR AWAY EVEN THOUGH WE FINALLY HAVE A FUCKING PRE-ORDER AND RELEASE DATE. I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR YOU, MY SWEET OKAPI.
-
Guys. The new Polkadot Cadaver album is awesome. Like top 3 of the year awesome. Like almost as good as Deconstruction awesome.

The eversower of the seeds of light to the cowld owld sowls that are in the domnatory of Defmut after the night of the carrying of the word of Nuahs and the night of making Mehs to cuddle up in a coddlepot, Pu Nuseht, lord of risings in the yonderworld of Ntamplin, tohp triumphant, speaketh."
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum -Helpless Corpse Enactment
This is just the craziest vocal delivery I've ever heard

Man, I can't get enough of Polkadot Cadaver's latest album.
SO GOOD! My favourite tracks right now are probably: Cake and Eat it Too, Starlight Requiem and Slaughterhouse Striptease.
-
Why can't Aberdeen have Polkadot Cadaver fans like this:

Surprised this wasn't posted here yet, but here it is for all who haven't heard yet:

Swedish avantgarde metallers Diablo Swing Orchestra have set Pandora's Piñata as the title for its third album, set to be released in the first quarter of 2012.
In a short update on Facebook, the band says: "Ladies and gents, we just finished our last rehearsal before the recordings will begin and we finally agreed on a title: Pandora's Piñata. Album will be released in the first quarter of 2012 so be patient and stay tuned for sneak peaks of what to come!"
-
:caffeine:
-
Yeah I'm super pumped!! :tup
-
More crazy opera/swing metal is always good. Bring it on.
-
Awesome, I can't wait for this!
-
I read that not too long ago, but forgot this thread even existed to post it in :lol
But yeah, so much excitement for this release. DSO are incredible.
-

New Diablo Swing Orchestra song out and it's pretty awesome.
-
The entire album is fucking astounding. Possibly their best album yet.
-
I can't really get into DSO properly. They have a few songs I fucking love, but as a whole I get kinda bored by their albums.

Only read the bottom part, like a moron.
I'm officially okay with this. Play a show in Cleveland and play 1997 at it, please and thank you.
-
i love Bath and Choirs Of The Eye
can anyone suggest me albums that are considered Avant Garde/Experimental Metal classics?
-
Get Leaving Your Body Map if you don't have it already.
Both of Unexpect's albums are excellent.
Grand Opening and Closing by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
There Be Squabbles Ahead by Stolen Babies.
-
i heard leaving your body map :P
i will check out the other albums you suggested! thx
im currently listening to of natural history by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

i approve
-
Listen to Róka Hasa Rádió by Thy Catafalque.
They aren't talked about here much, but this album is very good and worth a listen, as long as you don't mind listening to lyrics all in Hungarian.
-
If you don't mind some black metal being thrown into the mix, anything by Sigh. Lots of exciting ideas and experimentations while still remaining surprisingly accessible.
-
Of Natural History is easily the best Sleepytime album.
Both of Unexpect's albums are excellent.
There are three Unexpect albums and an EP, noob.
-
Of Natural History is easily the best Sleepytime album.
im in the middle of it now. its fucking amazing :O
-
Also, another band I've been majorly into lately is Akphaezya. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDKaSJd3rMs) They've got two albums out, one of which just came out a couple months ago. These guys kick all sorts of ass.
-
Dir En Grey is probably my favorite Avant-Garde Metal band. Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero. :heart :heart
With that said, the genre has lots of good stuff. Kayo Dot, Maudlin of the Well and so on.
-
Sigh is quite easily the best avant-garde metal band around. They have 9 albums and an EP, all of which are awesome. The best starting point is Imaginary Sonicscape, followed by In Somniphobia.
-
zantera's got a(nother) new pic! :o
-
Yus. Portman is back. :D
-
Also agree with all the Sigh love.
-
Also agree with all the Sigz love.
fixed. ;)
-
I'm listening to Fantomas's Suspended Animation right now. I have absolutely nothing to say. My brain has been turned into jelly.
-
Suspended Animation is fucking awesome, and their best album.
-
checked out some Akphaesya today after seeing them on Zantera's 'top 40 of the first half o the year' list...shall investigate further :metal
-
Alex is a much bigger fan of them, but I really enjoyed the album. Quite crazy. :P
-
The new Akphaezya album is fucking fantastic. Some crazy shit, in the best way possible. Easily one of the best from this year.
-
Sounds like something I'll like.
-
Just started listening to some stuff from this genre (PC and DSO), though you can find very little of it on Youtube, due to copyright restrictions in Germany. They're both pretty awesome. :metal
-
I listened to Fantomas earlier, the debut and Directors Cut. Shit is really weird, but I like.
-
Sounds like something I'll like.
Marc how have you not heard it? COME ON MAN WHAT THE FUCK.
-
Thread revival.
Yeah, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is still awesome. I can't decide which album is my favorite. They're all so ridiculously good.
-

Of Natural History is your favourite. Trust me.
-
I don't know, man. Of Natural History doesn't have 1997 or Angle of Repose on it...
-
But it does have the run songs with Hymn to the Morning Star to Babydoctor.

OPENS THE BOOK
THEDONKEYHEADEDADVERSARYOFHUMANITY
OPENS THE DISCUSSION
-
God damn. I think I'm on a serious binge with this band. I've been watching live videos of them all day. It's impressive to me that they're able to recreate their sound so well live without any backing tracks. Hell, they don't even wear in-ear monitors.
When is that new album supposed to surface?
-
I've really been listening loads to Dog Fashion Disco and Polkadot Cadaver lately. Adultery and Sex Offender has been blowing my mind, and I'm already obsessed about getting money so that I can get Adultery on vinyl, a mission I must complete. :hat
I've heard good things about Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, should probably check them out.
-
Grand Opening and Closing, post-haste. If that one's too weird, try out In Glorious Times instead. It's still weird, but in a more controlled way.
-
Thread revival with a new Polkadot Cadaver song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKFC1KIB59U
-
:metal :metal
On a related note, I just got Adultery yesterday. Listening for the first time right now and it's completely amazing.
THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU
EDIT: Wow, Private Eye is really disturbing.
-
Adultery is one of my all time favorites. I love it. :heart
-
:metal :metal

Yes, Adultery is an extremely awesome album. The other major label releases, Committed to a Bright Future and Anarchists of Good Taste are great as well.
-
Anarchists of Good Taste is their best album, if you ask me.
-
It's great, but Adultery is way better.
-
Cartoon Autopsy pretty much crushes every song from Adultery. But you know, to each his own.
-
To continue with the DFD discussion, I recently found Committed to a Bright Future on Spotify, and while the first few listens were very good, none of the songs stuck with me as easily as Private Eye, Moonlight City Drive, The Darkest Days, Desert Grave or The Hitchhiker did. Still, will definitly continue listening.
Also, the chorus of The Hitchhiker has to be one of the best choruses ever written. It's so damn catchy, morbid and awesome all around.
MIDNIGHT STRANGER COME ON TAKE A RIDE WITH ME
IN ALL MY MISERY I WOULD LOVE SOME COMPANY
THIS LONG AND WINDING ROAD ISN'T SAFE FOR ANYONE
NOW FOCUS ALL YOUR FEARS ON THE BARREL OF MY GUN
:metal :metal :metal :metal :metal

Double post/thread necro!
Just listened to Sweet Nothings for the first time.
Reaction: :omg:
-
Yeah Sweet Nothings is a great album. Nice comeback and more than anything I'm just glad Todd's maybe going to settle down and just release stuff with DFD instead of the million other hodgepodge projects he's been involved with. I love Polkadot Cadaver and everything but honestly it's just DFD with a bit more electronics.
-
If I had to choose between DFD and PC, I'd go with DFD any day of the week. Yeah, I like the electronic elements of PC, but IMHO they're not worth sacrificing the gorgeous woodwinds and the like that DFD employ instead.
Also, Greta might just be my favourite DFD "ballad".
EDIT: Holy shit End of the Road just exploded my brain via concentrated awesomeness.
