Title: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: hefdaddy42 on April 16, 2016, 05:17:36 AM
The old one was getting long and unwieldy.  Almost 2 years old.  You can find it here (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=42201.0).

Still listening to Yes - Fragile.

Only one listen to the Mob Rules so far and it was ok but nothing as great as the last one. Need to play it more though. The other I don't know

I thought the same upon my first listen of Tales from Beyond.  I'm three listens in now... it keeps improving.

Completely unrelated to the music, but if you like the album cover, check out Polish artist Zdzislaw. Creepiest art there is.

Always a little bummed when my favorite song off an album is the very first one, but Materia is amazing all the way through so here it's not that bad. Oh and El Cielo is amazing too though not on the same level.

Nice to see another Pineapple Thief fan. I discovered them years ago. It has been a while since I listened to them, though. When I first heard them, I had just bought Variations on a Dream. They reminded me of Radiohead (but better) and Porcupine Tree.

That's how I explain them as well John.  I love their dreaminess of their melodies.

Can't say I'm a huge fan but I quite enjoy All the Wars all the way through, and I love the first song on that album, Burning Pieces.

Lol, I've only checked out 19 roulette albums and my roulette ended like 6 months before yours did. I'm so slow. :lol

In fairness, if you counted other albums from artists that I learned about via roulette, that number goes up to 36. But still. So slow. :lol

I haven't counted how many I've already checked out because they blended in with my own discoveries and stuff, but it's probably already close to or even more than 19 :lol and I'm going through these remaining 50 at like 1-2 a day depending on which days I have the time for it.

Yes it is! Also on the list based on your submissions: Bent Knee - Shiny Eyed Babies/Igorrr - Hallelujah on top of the ones I already checked (DMM, Porcupine Tree and Destrage IIRC). Don't actually know why I wanted to check that Igorrr album so bad, I was probably interested in the sheer craziness even though my impression wasn't fantastically positive.

Yeah Hallelujah is really fucked up, and may take a long time to appreciate it if you aren't into weird/experimental stuff to begin with, but it's worth it.

I haven't counted how many I've already checked out because they blended in with my own discoveries and stuff, but it's probably already close to or even more than 19 :lol and I'm going through these remaining 50 at like 1-2 a day depending on which days I have the time for it.
by my count i've checked out 17 albums directly from my roulette, with 8 more albums from some of the artists i got roulette albums from. but then a fair number of those were albums i was already interested in anyways, so  :lol

Accept - metal heart, balls to the wall

Rush - p/g, power windows

Prince - purple rain. Strange coincidence. Came on the memory stick in the car hours before I heard the news. I don't listen to it often and I skipped the shit songs. So shocked when I got home and put the news on.

agalloch - ashes against the grain
this is less immediate than the mantle but i like it a fair bit, it feels like a deeper record to me. will need more spins before i really "get" it tho i think
swallow the sun - songs from the north iii
i kind of figured this disc wouldn't do as much for me as the other two and i was right but it's still... solid, at the very least
solstafir - svartir sandar
fjara is the kind of song i described as "makes me want to buy the band's entire discography" and yeah that's still true, but the rest of the songs don't really match up to it, though there are still plenty good tracks
ulver - shadows of the sun
this is the worst walking-to-work music ever, but also quite good. solitude is a bit melodramatic i guess, not a fan of it but the rest, nice

yeah, this is just kinda meh for me. it's alright. i don't think it's atmospheric enough to quite work for me and there's not a ton of emotional potency besides "really dark and heavy" and eeehhh. i expected this though so i cant' say i'm disappointed and i like the other two discs a fair bit so

so it's like, the black metal version of Addicted!, kind of
in the sense that it's pretty poppy but doesn't sacrifice its metal aesthetic
also it's atmospheric as hell and really damn good? like wow, apparently their previous two are really good too and i'm gonna have to check them both out now, though they seem a lot rarer to find/purchase physical copies of  :'(

the closer is pretty good but an entire album of this is too much for me, it seems, been pretty restless for the last few tracks and the metallica cover is lulzy, though i guess it kind of makes sense, but yeah, prob passing on this

hmmmm. this is like, enslaved but with saxophone basically
which is not a bad thing to be. i dunno though i'm not sure who the audience of this is.
some parts are too intense to be for the general prog metal crowd, but some parts are too straightforward prog to appeal to the black metal crowd
i guess it appeals to the crowd that likes both? which is pretty niche imo, but obviously it has wider appeal than i'm giving it credit for.
i dunno maybe it's because i should like this more than i do? it's alright tho

Pale Folklore deserves more love, from me too, I usually listen to The Mantle, Ashes or The White EP.
I heard Oceansize's Effloresce a while ago and I didn't like it. But Frames is something else, I'm really glad I came back to this band.
And I think Either/Or finally clicked with me in it's entirety. Maybe listening to it in dark and being awake for too long did the trick :P

Obsidian Kingdom's first EP, quite black metal-ish and sludgy and heavy and... quite metal with growls tbh. Not my cuppa tea entirely but it's enjoyable - Parama, you'd probably love it :P

tbh this cover looks like they google searched "spider", took one of the first results, and just stuck it on a black background and plastered their logo over it

wiseman: honestly this is pretty cool overall, it made me want the album when i first listened to it too so
alley cat: this kind of annoyed me, but it wasn't bad. solo sucked imo? nice groove to some parts at least
angelmaker: parts of this are pretty cool, some are a bit overly cheesy, and that guitar solo was laaaame
king of whitewater: this is like, high-quality cheese. as in, like, some fancy french cheese or something but the ones that actually taste good
long way home: dunno, kinda feel like he's oversinging his one, but it's solid. the female vocals are great though, omg, make her the lead singer
move on through: omg that bass solo <3 also the second bass solo. this is pretty solid overall really though there some cheesy cheese
the great escape: i dunno, as far as prog epics go, this is... alright? i just don't feel like i get a lot out of it.

man i'm not feeling very confident about getting this one now tbh  :lol
dunno, just don't think the band is for me

Wouldn't be surprised in some cases, but for me I just don't listen to the radio pretty much ever. Between my own iPod and CD collection and my daughter's iPod and CD collection, and her playing pandora through the car stereo, I just never hear stuff like that. She's more into pop-punk I guess it's called. Stuff that would be on Warped Tour basically, and Green Day, Blink 182, etc.

This is one of the reasons. Another reason is that people generally think all hip hop is utter shite.

Despite his childish attitude sometimes and huge ego, dude has made a few classics (which is something extremely rare for mainstream hip hop).

Probably me listening to Burial before it had something to do, but I'm really digging it now - just focusing on the atmosphere and the textures more than in the songwriting aspect, and having it as background music, helps quite a bit I guess.

Post has some fillers but it's great nonetheless. Especially Hyper Ballad, I Miss You and Isobel makes up for it.

Homogenic though... what a record. Not a single song i dislike in it.



Now, into Debut and Vespertine.

i am listening to this right now

(https://www.metalsucks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/PromoImage.jpg)

which is probably the closest i've ever gotten to listening to something that's not music and actually enjoying it
so yeah, maybe

side-note: i'm pretty sure this isn't made for any audience and i'm not sure i actually like it, but i'm tempted to throw money at them for it (like $5 i guess even tho technically it can be a free download) because it's just kind of fascinating

like... this album wants to freaking marry chaos and dissonance as a concept, but it does so in a tasteful way? maybe it's a bit overindulgent but. i dunno. it's hard to know. only one of two things can happen; either i get this and it never clicks for me and i end up hating it, or i listen to it about 30 times and praise it as the best thing to ever happen to music.

the first few minutes of in hell's name are the best part of the album, if the rest of the song was that good it'd be one of my favorite songs ever
honestly i like this a fair bit though, one of the better albums from my last (huge) bunch

Debut is my favourite Bjork album. Post is horribly hit and miss. The entire album is back and forth between brilliant tracks and average/bad tracks. Homogenic is good the whole way, but try as I might, I'm just lukewarm to almost everything of it. Based on those reactions, I haven't seen any point in checking out more.

Blue Lines is still an amazing album though. I like it a wee bit better than Mezzanine even. And Protection is most likely my favourite song of theirs.

Journey and Celldweller are still on the list to check out, won't be too long. And Circle of Illusion is still a maybe, not sure about it. Also kinda interested in some more of Black Mages but like CoI not sure about it yet, depends on my free time.

I haven't had a time to check it out yet but unfortunately I haven't heard many good things. :/ A lot of "Kashiwa Daisuke half-assing it" and "It's not close to the first one", but I will check it out either way.

Anyhow, OnT: British Theatre - Mastery. Definitely my AOTY so far. I was sad when Oceansize broke up, but with Vennart's solo album last year and now this, things are looking good.

I can understand why they say so - there are no electronics nor big innovations on this album, just Daisuke on his piano plus some chamber musicians on strings and a jazz drummer. I think the beauty and passion of these tracks just make up for the lack of "creativity" or whatever people are complaining about.

Don't have my list right now, but I can atleast say that Kyuss album was amazing, anything above 7.5/10 is a purchase in the future for me, if not immediately. (7.5/10 may sound average but I rarely score 8/10 or higher for albums, in fact, only one album this year got a higher score than 8.5/10 from me, TGM by BTBAM) And that Kyuss album is one of my favorites so far :tup Same thing with the Bent Knee album, liked the album a lot but Being Human was definitely not my favorite.

Igorrr is also on my list, the song didn't score too high but I'm very interested in it. Already got In Absentia earlier, same for the Destrage album. And I don't remember if it was you who sent Riverside or someone else, but Love Fear Time Machine is on the list too.

After like 5+ listens I don't think I like 1985 as much as most seem to, but fuck man, The Architect is so good, that's by far my favorite of the album right now.

This album has likely surpassed Gore for AOTY 2016 so far, but it's hella close.

i'm legit tempted to call the title track of the apologist a 10/10 song, i really can't find any fault with it other that the fact that its ending is a segue (which works perfectly in context of the album so it's not even a problem) and there's so many fantastic moments it's unreal aaahh

Not as consistently good as Dummy (but then, few albums are), but there are some real gems on there, like Hunter, We Carry On, Machine Gun and Threads. Definitely worth a listen either way.

Ok, your opinion changed my opinion  :P

I love 6 tracks on Loveless and also it has only one track i don't care about. In comparison, i only love 3 tracks on Souvlaki and it has 3 i don't care about.

Gave a 10 and 7 overall for the respective albums.

Loveless is more consistently good, but Souvlaki has much better highs. The lows on Souvlaki aren't even bad either.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Zantera on May 01, 2016, 11:06:19 AM
Loveless is the bigger cult album and the more classic, but Souvlaki is slightly better. But they're both really good. I think MBV being rated higher than Slowdive in general (more popular) is a joke considering Slowdive's discography as a whole is far superior to MBV's. Apart from Loveless, the rest MBV has done is very OK whereas the other 2 Slowdive albums are both genuinely great.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Outcrier on May 01, 2016, 11:49:39 AM
I still remind the first time i listened to Souvlaki. I already knew and loved Machine Gun and When the Sun Hits but, when i decided to explore the rest, it wasn't up to par. It was very disappointing because i had this feeling i would love the album.

Agreed on those, great tracks. But I feel most songs are... unfinished, some really go nowhere or end up abruptly. Still a good album.

My first serious attempt to get into this behemoth. It was more fucked up than expected, but I quite like to atmosphere so I'll get back to it later this week. It should take me no less than 10 listens to start to "get it", but I think it will be worth the ride.

I remember the day I discovered that album (in June 2014 :D), I listened to that album multiple times. And I rarely, if ever, do that. Sadly, their other albums I heard didn't click with me (yet).

I liked the most recent album they put out with Chelsea Wolfe appearing on a song, but Russian Circles (and God Is an Astronaut) always came off as middle of the road-tier post-rock/metal to me. Nothing too interesting. :(

I'm just getting into GIAA and I like them, especially All Is Violent, All Is Bright. That album and RC's Enter are among few post-rock album I can listen to anytime. Both are pretty accessible. For something like Godspeed I have to be in certain mood. But I'm not too big fan of post-rock. Another album I love is Mono's Hymn to the Immortal Wind.

all is violent, all is bright was one of the least interesting post-rock albums i've ever gotten. dunno. maybe it's because i was never huge into that song-based style of post-rock, my favorite post-rock albums are the ones where all the songs flow into each other and are heavily atmospheric  :lol

hymn to the immortal wind was in my top 50 albums list :P
i actually have the last four mono albums and i've listened to their older stuff too, generally i find their music pleasant but not really especially memorable, hymn is really good though

I saw them on two separate tours behind the first album, was bummed I had to miss the first US run behind Hot Streak. I dig the tunes to begin with, Billy Sheehan is just absurd to watch live, and Mike looks like he's having as much fun behind the kit as I've seen in a long time.

(https://i.imgur.com/bWLRQ5r.gif?noredirect)

On my second straight day of listening to the Winery Dogs Live in Japan. Seriously can't wait for another North America tour from them.

I'd like to see them when they come back.

I saw them on two separate tours behind the first album, was bummed I had to miss the first US run behind Hot Streak. I dig the tunes to begin with, Billy Sheehan is just absurd to watch live, and Mike looks like he's having as much fun behind the kit as I've seen in a long time.

I've always loved watching MP live. When I picked up the blu-ray of PSMS, and I was watching them doing Crimson Sunrise, the first thing I thought was that I miss his stage presence in DT.

Just listened to it, well, it could use vocals. But not growly vocals so I guess that's why they left it as instrumental. :biggrin:

If that's a throwback piece, I wonder which one is the throwup piece.

What are you thoughts on The Art of Loss, 425?

I'm probably the wrong person to ask, because I haven't really been a big Redemption fan. I've had Snowfall on Judgment Day for a while, and I like some of the songs but haven't really gotten into others. I decided to get the new one because I do appreciate what some of what this band does and wanted to see if a different album would do better for me. In particular I liked Love Kill Us All/Life in One Day best by far on Snowfall and I wanted to hear them tackle a 20+ epic.

And I really love the artwork on this album.

Two listens in, I'm pretty sure I like it better than Snowfall. The short songs are memorable for the most part, the title track, Slouching Towards Bethlehem and That Golden Light being standouts for me. And I think the epic is pretty good—not jaw-dropping, but generally enjoyable. Generally, I'd say this album definitely serves up proggish metal with good songwriting. I enjoy it and I may check out more of their work. But probably based on my level of interest in that style more than anything else, it's also not in the vicinity of 10/10 AOTY material for me. Enjoyable listen, but nothing revelatory to me.

I like this album a lot, but the Wings For Marie/10,000 Days suite or whatever it is goes on for far too long and becomes a snoozefest. Intension could be omited and it wouldn't hurt the album at all.
The rest of the songs are easily in the 8-10 range though. (Jambi is really fun to play on guitar  :hefdaddy)

yeah, the album basically ends for me after 10,000 Days, the rest of the tracks range from "decent" to "really boring" and Intension might be the worst Tool song that isn't just dumb noises tbh, it's just pointless

Also, I didn't look at the pictures, going to do that right now.

Edit: um, I don't know what's so hilarious. Yeah, they're a bit on the cheesy side, but the whole album is like that, so it works for me.

My first ever Katatonia album, I actually liked the artwork and booklet before I started to enjoy the music.
It brings back some good memories too, I was holidaying in England just after it's release and took a chance with it.

I didn't think this was a particularly fogey record? It's prog metal and it came out in like 2014.

Exactly this

i mean it's like that halfway point between power metal and prog metal that a lot of the fogeys seem to love

Some of the fogeys.... there's plenty that aren't into this - but overall, there are very few that dig paramacore.

I've always thought of the term "fogey rock" as a somewhat innocent knock on the (perhaps more common) "dad rock" term. Music that is perhaps a bit harmless, not offensive and somewhat easy to digest. Things like harsh vocals or really experimental music might be met with "back in my day we did it another way" or "what are the kids listening to these days?" and perhaps a slight "stuck in the past"-mindset or being very anti new things.

I think it's interesting considering the evolution we've had in music though. A band like Iron Maiden would be considered fogey rock by a lot of people, yet when Maiden got their big break, they were a pretty "edgy" metal band that upset a lot of parents because of the lyrics and the imagery. Today, us younger people scoff at that and something else is the "new thing". So I think it's interesting how the perspective has changed as time has changed. Maybe in 20 years, people will look back at the Zantera/Sacul music like Swans, Death Grips or Boris and say "that's fogey music".  :lol

Personally I don't mind the term. There's good music that would be considered "fogey rock", I think the expression has less to do with quality and more to do with music that might be appealing to older people because it's fairly "safe".

YOUR NAME IS FUCK
I SHIT BLOOOOOOOOOD
"Dad, turn off that boring old crap".

I don't think Vanden Plas is fogey music unless you lump all the progressive / power metal into "fogey music" category.
Which I would.

My taste is all over the place these days.

I keep up with very few currently operating bands anymore, and the ones I do are either proper experimental shit (Swans, Fire! Orchestra, GY!BE, Angles 9), or pop (Florence + the Machine, Fat Freddy's Drop, Coldplay, Kimbra). Basically polar opposites.

Meanwhile, the two most recent metal albums I bought were ADTOE and Watershed, both on release. One of those is eight years old.

And I'm slowly turning fogey-er than all but the fogey-est fogeys. I've had shit like Charles Mingus, Nina Simone, Jacques Brel, and Nick Drake on high rotation in the past few years.

hmm. this both has more metal stuff and more atmospheric stuff than their previous, it feels like
also the keyboard player picked a better synth tone for every song, except the final long track
it feels a bit more cohesive overall though

for the record these and a few others in my bunch of albums were just "lol why not" albums bcuz they were so cheap from the seller anyways, but i do kinda dig this band's sound regardless  :lol

like with lazarus bird, the harsh vocals here are a weak point.
i think i like this more already tho, especially with that one-two punch of Homebound and It Comes Into View, gorgeous stuff. this is just, way more emotive than lazarus bird for me, I guess, and not as drawn out

Well, you listen to a lot power metal, so you may not have the most finely honed cheese detector. :P

I just don't think that prog and power metal bands ever really pull off band pictures that well. Especially when they are in what certainly looks like their 40s or even 50s and they're trying to look all intense and "metal" with plunging necklines.

Listened to this yesterday night, because the Leprous Survivor prompted me to. Forgot there's actually quite some awesome stuff on it. I don't listen to this nearly as often, but the style is quite distinctive - most like Tall Poppy Syndrome. Also I found Einar's screams to actually be better than the ones he does on The Congregation. Fans of Leprous' latest two albums will find not much of interest here to be honest, but I really enjoyed my listen.

Don't know which one you got, but the opener (Hypnos) is probably the one I'd go with, my #2 song off the album and probably the most accessible, has a lot of cool ideas in under 5 minutes so it stays interesting too.

It's funny, Mandroid seems to be everything I do like about Coheed and Cambria minus everything I dislike, they're a bit more metal too and I feel it works better for that style, to my tastes.

Lots of great stuff on FOTD.

Definitely liking it better the more I listen to it. Who knows, it may eventually pass No Prayer for me. It definitely has the two best songs on either album. Judas Be My Guide is another really good one. Be Quick or Be Dead, Wasting Love and The Fugitive are solid. And I like Fear Is the Key more and more—I just wish it was a bit more compact.


Don't know which one you got, but the opener (Hypnos) is probably the one I'd go with, my #2 song off the album and probably the most accessible, has a lot of cool ideas in under 5 minutes so it stays interesting too.

It's funny, Mandroid seems to be everything I do like about Coheed and Cambria minus everything I dislike, they're a bit more metal too and I feel it works better for that style, to my tastes.

We got Iron Hands. To me, definitely didn't stand up to most of Coheed's stuff. Coheed does a lot of great work with dynamics and anthemic choruses that I really enjoy.

*sigh* Here we go, for the sake of the survivor. I think this is only the second time I've listened to this. First listen was just so... you know... that I never picked it up again. I'm listening to the rehearsal DVD version right now so that at least the production is halfway decent. I think that's my only chance of getting into this one in any way.

Post by: 425 on May 09, 2016, 11:29:18 PM
I'm only on the second track and it's rather frustrating. Because it's not horrible, but just really not well executed. They get going on a good idea, then they muck it up or just generally play poorly. And the songs are too long for the number of ideas that are in them. I do appreciate having the rehearsal version because at least Lars has a normal drum sound. The audio quality still isn't great, and James and Kirk are still muddy, but at least it's better than the album.

I would say song St. Anger is great if it was few minutes shorter. This way it's one song repeated twice.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: 425 on May 10, 2016, 12:10:42 AM
I can see why someone would like it. I really kind of think it's meh, but I can't take the view that it's all trash, either. There are good ideas in there. First four tracks are actually pretty good, though they could use some editing. Personally, I think instead of all but disowning it, they should try to rehabilitate some of the songs. I think they could break out the title track or Some Kind of Monster in an abbreviated form live, see if they work. If people hate it, it's just 5 minutes out of a 2 hour show.

On Shoot Me Again, this is another one that's solid but I think meanders a bit much.

It honestly feels like a majority of the songs on this album are songs mediocre songs hampered by bad production that have good songs inside of them, that could be brought out. I think there's a pretty good 11-track, 55-minute album inside this 11-track, 75-minute album.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: wolfking on May 10, 2016, 12:18:07 AM
The production and length of songs certainly hurts it.  I guess I wrote it off when it came out but redicovered it years later when I wasn't that into Metallica anymore and I had no expectations from it.  I think that's why I like it.  I was very disappointed when it came out though.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Fluffy Lothario on May 10, 2016, 02:04:54 AM
Essentially the same with me. Didn't give St Anger a proper listen on release. When Death Magnetic came out, I found it so bland, I went back to St Anger and realised I liked a good chunk of what they did on that album. I like the flawed roughness of it. I like how long they dwell on ideas, so long as I like the idea. At least they were trying to do something interesting.

But then I liked Lulu, so what would I know?
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Zantera on May 10, 2016, 02:55:10 AM
St. Anger is pretty bad but I'll take it over Death Magnetic to be honest. Some Kind of Monster is definitely the best song on it, but most of them go on for way too long.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Train of Naught on May 10, 2016, 03:01:53 AM
Yeah I ain't participating in the St. Anger survivor :lol, it's my least favorite Metallica album by a huge margin. For me everything just blurs together into one big lump of metal snare drums and weird vocal melodies. There's only three songs I actually know quite well, one of those I really like (Sweet Amber) and the other two I think are just awful (St. Anger and Frantic).

this one's a lot more electronic and darker than the other two, or it feels like that on first listen.
i dig it a lot tho. neath waters is this really weird industrial symphonic piece and if the instruments were real it'd probably be mindblowing but it's still great as-is too so

I'm making an effort to give these guys a chance, as they are so central to the late '60s psychedelic/heavy rock/blues shit I dig, and seems to be what everyone's referring to when they rave about Clapton. But at the moment, their stuff isn't jumping out at me. It's good, but feels like it hasn't aged as well as other stuff from this period.

Finally listened to this and it's great :azn: I really love the atmosphere in most tracks, Identikit is my favourite I think. My ony "complaint" is that all the songs have the same feel/atmosphere and slow pace, something to contrast that would have been good I think. (or perhaps that might just make it less cohesive :p )

I nice break from listening to Radiohead's record pretty much non-stop. Then I discovered this, the best thrash metal album I've heard in years. It's basically thrash metal, but with a black metal influence and lots of progressive touches, highly technical, energetic and emotional. How come nobody told me about this band?

Thy Catafalque - Cor Cordium

there is literally no cover for this, as it is just a demo.
and yeah the sound quality is awful but
the music is pretty cool, though i think at least a few of these tracks were on the two albums that followed, which is like, fair enough, it's a demo

anyways i listened to these since there's a "the early works" compilation that's literally just their first three albums remastered, which sounds like a good time all things considered

I would say it is better than the samples suggested but like most of my recent listens to new releases it's all very predictable and a rating around 80%.   Claus of course is the "voice of Bonfire" and he really IS Bonfire in many ways , so it sounds like a fairly average Bonfire album .   Michael Voss mucked around in Bonfire from time to time too and he has his own sound , so there are also elements of Demon Drive, Mad Max etc......    A decent album but that's about all.

The Siloam is obscure Christian rock/metal - a couple of really good tracks but not a consistent album IMO

The Holland is Batio's first main band - straight ahead mid 80's hard rock with his shred.  Pretty decent actually.

I think it'll matter a lot what you sampled.   I'm finding it very up and down - the first couple of tracks were very promising and then the songwriting got a bit all over the place.    On a positive note (aside from the concept - I pay little attention as usual :lol ) I think you can tell that they have taken the time to write something that isn't cookie cutter stuff - it's quite ambitious and I can see huge potential but it just hasn't quite come together as well as it might have.

I will listen again as it has "grower" potential and the girl has a bit of Floor Jansen in her voice, which is never a bad thing.  The growls aren't too bad either. Definitely not a bad album by any means.

I believe I tracked that one down because I liked the singer but found he didn't appear on much that was any good.

If you like the singer , this is another rare one you might want to check out

My girlfriend randomly bought me this on vinyl for my birthday. Didn't really know what to expect but it's actually pretty  :metal

I'd recommend Pitch Black Progress, it's almost as good as Holographic Universe. Their newer stuff after Christian Alvestam left is good, but not nearly up to the level of their previous quality.

You should, however, definitely check out Solution .45, an awesome melodeath band that Christian Alvestam formed after leaving Scar Symmetry. Their 2010 debut "For Aeons Past" is probably just as good as Holographic Universe, if not better.

Cheers dude, I'll check out Pitch Black Progress soon.

I've actually got For Aeons Past, I must admit I prefer Holographic Universe more but probably haven't listened to For Aeons Past as much. I'm pretty sure I got both albums off a Canadian guy I met whilst travelling in Australia, he was also a huge Devin Townsend fan and I somehow only ended up with the first 3 tracks off Terria when we traded music. That has long since been remedied  :lol

Though I'd actually say that the first three tracks on Terria are probably the weakest on the album. Of course, given that it's my #2 album of all time, that's not saying much, but I think they pale in comparison of the sheer genius of Deep Peace, Nobody's Here and Tiny Tears.

Yea it's weird, I loved Earth Day (and still do) but this was back in 2012 and I didn't end up getting the album until last year. That was the only Devin Townsend he gave me (other than filling in the gaps with a few SYL albums I didn't have). Deep Peace is my favourite off Terria by a long way I'd say, maybe if I'd gotten the first 4 tracks instead I would have gotten into Devin a lot sooner  :lol

I'm slowly getting into more of this album—already loved the epic, but want to try to get into the shorter ones. Alley Cat clicked a while again, and Wiseman clicked just now. I think the unique thing about Seventh Wonder is that Tommy has an unconventional approach to writing vocal melodies. I don't know enough about music to describe it, but it feels like more of a theatrical approach to the melodies than a rock approach (and he definitely has a theatrical style). In Kamelot he seems to write melodies that are closer to conventional rock/metal, but Seventh Wonder you get these big looping melodies that are just a little different (rhythmically different?) from what you expect them to be.

Post by: 425 on May 20, 2016, 11:28:16 AM
I can definitely see it being exhausting as a whole. I'd say maybe take the first six songs on their own and then take the epic on its own at first?

However there's no getting around this being pretty much genre-defined prog metal, aside from the somewhat different approach on vocal melodies. I'd say they're one of the better bands in the genre, but if you're someone who isn't too interested in Dream Theater-style music anymore, I'm not sure it'll do much for you besides maybe liking a couple of the songs.

Honestly, those two just refuse to click for me, particularly King of Whitewater. I guess I've listened to them about 4 times now, and while there are parts that I like, I just don't have any strong feelings about either one of them. I'm sure they'll get more listens down the road, because I love the epic, I really like Wiseman and Alley Cat, and I think Long Way Home and Move On Through are solid, so maybe those two will click for me. But right now, I can't say I particularly care for them beyond "yeah, this is a decent song I guess." :-\

Definitely don't give up on them! I think Long Way Home is the only song on the album that I don't particularly care for, it's just a little too cheesy for my tastes.

One thing that I really appreciate on the album is how audible and interesting the bass is. That bass solo in Move on Through is such a cool moment.

Not a big fan of the album, but FUCK that is an amazing cover. Since I so rarely listen to the music, I often forget how stunning the art is.

Oh yeah. I've had this band on my list to check out for quite a while, I'll see if I get to it in time but that's one amazing cover.

First time listening to the Katatonia and Headspace albums today. Katatonia was amazing, Headspace not as good as IAA but I loved that record, Poluted Alcohol is :hefdaddy though, so beautiful.

I just recently got that one, I've only listened to it twice so far. I like it, though it seems a little rough around the edges like any debut. I think it's interesting how young Claudio sounds on this one.

It has a flawless first 5 song run, then kinda starts to lack consistence after it. But it's still amazing for a debut.

I'd lost interest in these guys for the last number of years, after More Than You Think You Are, which I didn't really like at all.

I found out last week that they'd released an album in 2012, so decided to give it a go. Sounds ok so far..

Basal Ganglia is such a stellar album. I'm not into instrumental music much, but AAL and Mestis just does it for me for some reason. The name kinda pisses me off though, my anatomy exam is close.  :lol

Incredibly, Stupidly good Coheed albums. If I ever get around to doing a top 50 albums thread I think a good portion of the top 20 will be Coheed and Cambria's backcatalogue. Good Apollo 1 just floors me everytime. Those albums will only get better and grow on you. I personally love Good Apollo 2 just as much but I know that's generally not the view of most fans.

Well, for the first time in probably 10 years, I'm listening a lot to the band that used to be my very first favorite band.  Styx, The grand illusion, I'm playing it over and over, by heart I know all the lyrics.  At the same time I'm revisiting everything they have done, even the worst of it! 

The Grand illusion is probably the reason I started to take classes and learn to play guitar.  I loved everything about the band, the ballads, the heavier stuff, the harmonies of the vocals and of course, so many great songs.  Saw them 4 times in concert, I was in their fan club, you know, when we used to write and receive letters by mail.  Soon my bedroom would be covered of Styx pictures along with Rush, Boston and many others.

these are what are going through my musical rotation rn and i'm pretty stoked about all of these, because they're all quite good

followup on all of these:
Anciients - i do like this a lot but i feel like i'm not digging it quite as much as i could be. i also feel like it still deserves plenty more spins and i'm excited to listen to it again when i do, though, so...
Canvas Solaris - i just like how atmospheric this tends to be for an instrumental prog metal album. i'd like it more if not for some of the dopey synth sounds at times though. not amazing, but pretty solid for sure
Cult of Luna - ooohh yeah. gimme more of this. i definitely need to check out salvation. this isn't the best post-metal i've heard, i still don't think i'd prefer it over panopticon for one, but it's pretty good. last track drags a little tho.
Earthside - this album kind of lacks depth and it's pretty immediate, but everything is pretty dang memorable and the orchestra adds a lot of bombast and power to the tracks it appears on, but the fake-strings on the rest are still pretty strong too. i like this as a whole for sure.
Exotic Animal Petting Zoo - man. this is a tough nut to crack. i feel like these guys are a lot better at writing the non-metal parts of their sound, really. the stretch from tracks 7-9 is a bit unmemorable tho, i have no clue what any of those sound like atm. i like this though, yeah
Irepress - also a pretty tough nut, but in a different way. there's a lot of creativity and solid music on display here but i find myself grabbed by very little of it, yet random moments of this album get stuck in my head pretty often. the sample on fletchie was a mistake, tho, i hate that
Nadja - this is... solid. i'm kinda getting the feeling that drone metal will stay as the kind of music i like was background music but can never get overly into on its own, this is nice and crushing and i enjoy it but not like, a ton
Thy Catafalque - this is like, surprisingly normal compared to their earlier albums, when i think about it, but it's pretty cohesive and probably the most fun black metal's ever sounded. nice amount of variety here too. can't wait to dig into their earlier albums.

also, what i've put into the rotation for this week:
(https://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517QrAduDsL.jpg)(https://www.radiometal.com/images/posts/2010/01/ihsahninterview1.jpg)(https://www.musicfearsatan.com/DSK/jesu_st_(big).jpg)(https://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71xa%2BVKaTuL._SL1200_.jpg)
a little less enthused about this set in general but they're all pretty solid. ihsahn album needs a lot more listens than the rest of these, i think  :lol

First listen to the two Coheed albums. I found IKSoSE:3 to be really good and FFTtEoM to be monumental.

The Willing Well suite has got to be my favourite 30 minutes of music ever.

If this had better production (especially the drums) this would be bloody fantastic. It's still good music, just hard to listen to at times because the bad drum sound hits me in the face and distracts me a lot. The Roots album is much better sounding.

Somewhere Along the Highway and Salvation are definitely their best albums! As much as I liked Vertikal, I would probably say it's their second weakest album with only the debut being weaker. I prefer all the other albums actually.

Opacities being the first taste I really got of SikTh, it wasn't nearly as weird/crazy as people made this band out to be, but listening to The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait For Something Wild I take back my words. Good stuff though. Maybe this is my descent into insanity?

I'm convinced that God Is An Astronaut is the perfect background music, I can thoroughly enjoy the albums without actively focusing on it, it's the best thing ever. Slowly becoming one of my favorite bands too right now. :tup 425

(bottom right) been speaking to this guy that released his debut solo album, fully recorded and mixed by himself. It's kind of an avant-garde/jazz fusion type of sound, I think he said he was influenced by Kayo Dot and Miles Davis among others but I'm not really familiar with their music so I wouldn't know for sure.

the followup chapters:

Dysrhythmia: tbh I wasn't super hyped for this anyways and yeeeah it's kind of... really boring and lifeless. the instrumentation is way too bare and the compositions feel like barely-structured jams that never go anywhere. pretty mediocre/maybe a bit bad lol oh well
Ihsahn: damn, saxophone makes everything better. but i actually like this quite a bit, most likely the only of these i'll really keep listening to
Jesu: this is. so long. and so tedious. every track is too long. the album as a whole is too long. it's not even that crushingly heavy, it tries to be i guess but. meh. it still sounds alright overall but it's a slog to listen through
Speaking to Stones: these are like, 5 good 6-8 prog metal songs stretched out to 9-14 minutes. the two longest ones especially feel too long, repeating their choruses and main riffs a bit too much, and the soloing on this album is pretty generally dire. but overall it's passable enough

added to the rotation this week:

If I knew how to write, I'd write something like this. Feels really poetic, great lyrics. Also, it really remind me od Arcade Fire's Funeral. Not that it is similar in terms of music, but overall feel is familiar.

Been listening to tons of Aura lately. I'm starting to get over the terrible drum production and am finally able to really enjoy the music for what it is.
Babymetal is disappointing to me as an album. I mean, Megitsune is one of the best metal tracks ever and Gimme Chocolate! is alright, but the rest borders on bland and outright bad.

No idea whether you like Deftones or not, but their new release is pretty good.

Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Crow on June 04, 2016, 06:15:55 PM
never looked into deftones but i guess i'll check out a song or two
avantasia is power metal stuff so ehh  :P

what i've been checking out
vektor - terminal redux: dunno if this is hugely my thing but i listened to about half of it and found it enjoyable enough. thrash metal's never been my thing tho. i'll prob get this.
ihsahn - arktis: this is pretty solid. i won't really know for sure until it listen to it more though, which i will, as i am getting this
king gizzard something - nonagon infinity: yeah, not really my thing. pretty repetitive-sounding to me too. o well a friend suggested this anyways else i'd never have checked it out

Here's a list of excellent releases. Don't blame me if I make a huge dent in your wallet.   ;)

Big Big Train - Folklore
Drifting Sun - Safe Asylum
Lee Abraham - The Seasons Turn
Haken - Affinity
Ihsahn - Arktis (tech/extreme metal)
Vespero - Lique Mekwas (space prog) The only thing I like better than this in 2016 is the new Haken.

If you want some more information about any of these bands, go to ProgArchives.com

Post by: Crow on June 04, 2016, 07:09:56 PM
already checked out the two metal ones there but i'll look into the rest a little i guess  :lol

mandroid echostar - coral throne: i like this a lot more than i did a month ago when i tried to listen to it. maybe not a top priority but i'll prob pick it up
schammasch - triangle: so umm, holy crap. this is awesome. it's like if swallow the sun songs from the north was more interesting and didn't have a really cruddy third disc

side-note: i'm listening to less than half of each of these albums, either like the first 20-25 minutes or in the case of schammash like 15 minutes of each disc so these aren't even full opinions i just don't have time  :lol
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Sacul on June 04, 2016, 07:19:50 PM

My avant-friend loved it. But his fav metal album of 2016 is the new Slice the Cake :P

Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Crow on June 04, 2016, 08:03:34 PM
moonsorrow - jun whatever: yeah, this is pretty cool. halfway through the second track was a bit i really dug. not like that special but, enjoyable
headspace - atyfig: ehh. this doesn't feel like it even has the emotional potency of their first album, or at least not from the few tracks i listened to. dunno. probably will pass on this.
borknagar - winter thrice: this is okay. i dunno. i've heard enough proggy black metal by this point that this is just pretty unremarkable in comparison, at least on first listen, but it sounds alright enough at least. just not that compelling. i may need to take a break though since i also worry i might just be burnt out by this point, this and headspace were both fine and prob on the same level as mandroid but i'm more tired now so

Definitely a theatrical, conceptual power/prog metal day! Epica/The Black Halo remains an amazing concept, I'm really getting into SX with more listens on V, and it seems like each time I listen to The Great Escape, more of it clicks. Last time it was Wiseman, which I'm absolutely loving now. This time, The Angelmaker really clicked, and King of Whitewater is close. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think Tommy has a novel approach to writing vocal melodies, and I really enjoy his melodies because of that.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Crow on June 04, 2016, 11:44:32 PM
Fallujah - Dreamless: from what I listened to I dig this quite a bit. don't listen to enough death metal type stuff
Eight Bells - Landless: this is a pretty interesting style of post-metal, they do a lot with their songs and the female vocals give it loads of flavor on their own. i like it.

Most of my favorite 2016 releases haven't been metal but there's some good shit out there for sure

Glad you finally came to your senses on the Mandroid Echostar album, that was the first that came to mind.

Furthermore:

Lacuna Coil - Delirium
Slice The Cake - Odyssey To The West (this was probably the biggest grower but one of my favorites now)
Deftones - Gore
Novembre - URSA (this is more like doom, but has its metal moments for sure too)
Avatar - Feathers & Flesh
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Crow on June 05, 2016, 12:53:40 AM
i'll check out deftones i guess because it seems mildly popular and slice the cake might be alright but i tend to dislike deathcore
but i ain't touching lacuna coil with a 10 foot pole lol, even aside from not being a fan of the band to begin with i have heard nothing but bad things about the album
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Train of Naught on June 05, 2016, 01:03:35 AM
I can't stand the older STC albums either but this one is really more balanced out, it has a lot of cleans, though they're more like storytelling than actually singing, but it just works.

Didn't know Lacuna Coil was being received so negatively :lol I went into it blindly and liked it. You probably won't like Deftones either to be honest but it's my favorite album of 2016 so far so I thought I'd back up jake here.

Oh and I totally forgot about Pacific Myth EP since it was a digital download ofcourse, but that's great aswell and technically got fully released in 2016. Harbinger, Cold Water and Caravan in particular.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Crow on June 05, 2016, 01:08:20 AM
i'm not getting pacific myth until they put it on a physical disc as an album that i can have delivered to me
and not just an EP, put them all on an album
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Crow on June 05, 2016, 01:30:14 AM
one more for tonight i'll finish up what i have to look at tomorrow

big big train - folklore: this feels like it has a bit more unique flavor to it than the english electric albums, which were solid but kind of unmemorable. though i can't say this does much for me, but it's alright? ehh
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Zantera on June 05, 2016, 02:13:43 AM
The best metal release of 2016 so far IMO is Vektor - Terminal Redux which is simply amazeballs. Blackened Progressive Thrash and an album that will just pound you. After that, I'd say the new Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas collab Mariner is really good, and other great metal albums are: Cobalt - Slow Forever (Sludge/Black Metal) and the latest Deftones.

Yeah, the M T Eyes is one of those lost classics. It's ok, nothing great tbh.

The Jorn is ok for what it is but won't be hurrying to play it again. I liked tha Hotal California cover. Gave it more of that satanic feel it was accused of having in the first place.

vespero - lique mekwas: okay but not really my things, tbh i forgot what this sounds liek already
avantasia - ghostlights: also not my thing, also it sounds like they have a lot of better albums anyways so ehh
slice the cake - odyssey to the west: this is fine but, not really like doing a ton for me? it's alright enough on first listen. death metal continues to not really be my thing. some alright stuff here though, i might look into it further; oh wait this is mp3 only, crap  :lol

Odyssey To The West is a toughie, the deathcore is still very present and it's not something I'm all that used to. However they've becoming much more diverse on this album and the vocals are just something I've gotten used to now. The deathcore vocals aren't layered with countless blastbeats or anything, it's pretty proggy throughout.

And Gareth's one hell of a narrator, I always listen to it with the pdf file of the story opened and it's become a real experience instead of an album. Probably my #3 AOTY right now.

Had a few days off, so I ended up covering quite a bit of ground. That new Riverside album is borderline perfect. Album with all the sculptures and the blue background is Yeasayer's Amen + Goodbye and the last one with the owl is My Morning Jacket's Z.

I never liked RHCP much (Under The Bridge drove me bonkers ........played every second song all day on college radio) but I was a fan of their cover of Higher Ground.  Can't remember much about the rest of the album but I did like that more guitar heavy approach.

followup:
canvas solaris: don't think I care for this as much as the atomized dream. dunno. feels messier and less refined, and the epic is pretty lame tbh
mouth of the architect: solid post metal and there's some cool moments and riffs but I don't feel too strongly about it, at least not yet.
the ocean: inferior to pelagial but that's not saying much. still quite good, though the middle is a bit weak, but the last three tracks are great especially
thy catafalque: I like this, a lot, but the structure is really confusing and hinders the album. having the two long tracks at the start makes everything after feel like an afterthought even if it's all good too. blah. I like this a lot regardless and will still keep spinning it so

Absolutely. I mean, if you take songs on their own, they're quite great too... but the album really shines when taken as a whole. After four years, it's still fresh and amazing.

I think there are definitely some very good individual songs on there, but I also think it's one of those where the whole is greater than the sum of parts. Like SFAM. Finally Free and All A Man Can Do are both quite good on their own, but they're just better coming at the end of their whole albums.

Jazz is one of those genres I kinda scoffed at for years, but slowly got into, and now I really like it. Especially Miles Davis and Bohren helped me get into the genre, but it was Kamasi Washington's The Epic that really got me hooked. I still have plenty to check out in the genre, and I will probably never be an expert, but I like the genre now to the extent where I can put on a jazz album and really enjoy it. Apart from Sunset Mission, their album Black Earth is really good.

This is such a pristine album. One of the best heavy metal production jobs, and just solid songwriting all the way through. It's not as adventurous, progressive or experimental as the albums before or after, and I think it's a good thing they never tried to remake it, because I don't think this album would have worked twice. But this album absolutely captures a band at the top of their game just writing good songs and taking over the world.

Never heard of Morimoto Tim but Matsumoto is probably Japan's most famous guitarist.    I am surprised how much I have enjoyed what is , for the most part , a very laid back bluesy instrumental album.  Aside from the most blatant rip off of Gary Moore's Still Got The Blues melody.......couldn't believe my ears.  :-\

Yeah. The Black Album is okay, there are some really good songs but some are just I don't know... meh. But I feel that way about almost every Metallica album since I'm not that big of a fan.
I still think Polaris is the worst TesseracT album by far, but Hexes/Tourniquet/Cages are such gems. Wish they'd bring back the style of "One" though, although that will probably never happen.

You know, I was wondering why that name was so familiar. I knew I had heard a goth band of that name many years ago. I've always been a fan of goth rock. I assumed this was just another band with that name and didn't realize they actually got back together.

Well I made it all the way through The Apologist, so that's a good sign. Wouldn't say I liked it much but it wasn't 0/10 material. I kept it on Spotify and chances are I'll never listen to it again, but I might.

Skyforger is actually one of my favourite albums from what I received in my first roulette, I've been listening to it a lot.

I picked up the new Avatar album Flesh & Feathers. It's a concept album based on a fable the band wrote, and I just can't get enough of this album right now!!

For those who appreciate shred guitar playing, here's the opening track(s) of the record:

One of the coolest metal albums I've heard so far this year. I'm all over the place nowadays in my musical preferences and I'm not as easily impressed with loud metal music as I used to be, but this is awesome and it's a mix of various genres. Wether it's tastefully assembled is up to anyone, but I'm very much enjoying this stuff. It's a mix of doom metal, Opeth-y death and proggyness and of course the female vocalist who almost sounds like Beyonce at times. I dig it.

a classic high-quality followup post:

burst: this is fine, and it comes into view is quite great, but the harsh vocals here really hurt this album for me, they're just not very good. this definitely still needs more listens before i have a solid opinion on it tho.
leprous: i don't know how to feel about this album. it feels like the last four tracks, while all fine, just don't really matter. the album kind of runs out of steam. i'm also not really that crazy about any of the other songs. legit think the first 20 seconds of the album are my favorite part. not seeing the brilliance here, but i still like it a  fair bit overall, just not nearly as much as the congregation
nadja: i'm actually surprised, i like this quite a lot. nice crushing heaviness and i actually like the 30 minute drone track too. except for the very end. but yeah, as far as "good background music" goes this is enjoyable. not great active listening though, for how drawn out it is, but
vanden plas: a bit samey overall but i do like this. godmaker and inside are prob my favorites at this point in time but there's a fair number of cool riffs and instrumental moments throughout. not huge on the vocals but they're fine. i really question the decision to have tracks 4 and 5 both be ballad tracks, even if 4 is just a short pre-echo of a later track.

added to the rotation this week:

And this series of posts is where we can see that Zantera / Sacul music and Paramacore, though they may seem to be the same due to the fact that they both come across as utterly alien to the typical listener, are in fact two completely different genres of music.

This is a beautiful album, and I don't even particularly like trip hop. I went to see Massive Attack with my girlfriend earlier this year as she's a big fan. They put on a good performance with a pretty incredible light show, but I prefer Portishead WAY more.

Totally agree with this!! Love the beginning of the album. Although I probably like the rest a lot more than you though. Can't compare it to The Congregation though as I've still not gotten around to it.

What are the early returns on a rating for the FW Brent?

I can't speak for Brent, but personally speaking, Theory of Flight is a 9.5 or higher. I'm really leaning towards the perfect 10/10 myself, but I'm going to withhold that score until I have a bit more time to digest the album. That said, there really aren't any weak tracks on the album and five or six of the eight tracks are all strong enough to become future classics from the band and staples in their live shows.

What are the early returns on a rating for the FW Brent?

I had forgotten how much I loved FW back in the 90s :)   The teaser releases really revived my interest with the nice combo of melody and heaviness.

The album requires more than the one full listen I have given it so far (some tracks are immediate , others not so much) - at this point I am not thinking top 2 in their discog but not far off.  As far as a rating goes , a starting point would be around 85% and we'll see how much higher I end up giving it.

As a comparison I was straight up into the 90's with SX's Underworld , so it'll need to grow on me a bit to beat that (not that it's 2016 , but a recent release from one of the "big boys")

I just think it's great that a band of this vintage is putting out music that is interesting , original and this good.    It's great having FW, SX and the 'Ryche firing like this.

Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: jjrock88 on June 22, 2016, 09:36:20 PM
Thanks MG and Brent!

Yeah I'm excited for this release and it is great having SX, QR and Fates firing on all cylinders. I really enjoyed Darkness and this sounds like a major upgrade from that, so this can't disappoint

follow-up:

baroness - this is a bit of an oddball in the baroness discography, its their only album that feels more album-oriented than song-oriented. there's like 7 full songs out of 12 tracks lol. but then a lot of those tracks are great tracks. jake leg and the gnashing especially, like hot damn.
canvas solaris - i was actually surprised, i figured it would be weaker than cortical tectonics but, no, i like this around as much as the atomized dream, maybe even more. the weird folky track is cool, and the two long tracks are great as well, especially the jazzy motif of the closer
jesu - i like this more than their debut mostly on the basis of it being shorter and not having a bad track like man/woman. it's fine. dunno if it's that memorable but it's pleasant.
thy catafalque - this is probably my least favorite of the three thy catafalque albums i have and neath waters is definitely a weaker epic but it's still pretty good overall. the opener especially is really vicious, and i like the idm flavor of the third track, and the doom metal fifth track, and the somber closer... yeah, it's still really good, just not as good

added to the rotation this week:

First time listening to Thank You Scientist. Really awesome album, I liked it a whole lot. Already planning to get their new one right when it comes out.

With Death Magnetic, trying the Mastered for iTunes version on Kotow's suggestion. Definitely worth it. I still definitely have a soft spot for this album. It's not their best album, but I'd rate it ahead of at least KEA, MOP, RL and SA. I think some of the songs just don't feel as lively as they could at times (That Was Just Your Life), but when they're on, they're as good as they've ever been. I think maybe the album starts slowly, and doesn't really get to full steam until Broken, Beat & Scarred. I like the first two, especially The End of the Line, but for some reason they just don't feel as energetic as others.

And to just throw more gasoline on the fire I may have started by saying I put DM ahead of MOP, I think Het's vocals on this sound better than they do on most songs of the 80s albums.

Asphalt Ballet...I used to listen to the hell out of them.

Murderer's Row..That looks like LaBrie on the left, Halford on the right, Johnny Lee Middleton in front, Bobby Blitz sitting behind him, and Bo Bice way in the back. I'm guessing that band is none of those people.  :lol

That's right, none of the above!
David Glenn Eisley from Giuffria, Bob Kulick on guitar, couple of blokes from Alcatrazz and the drummer from Hurricane. Decent hard rock album.

And the Asphalt ballet is very good.

And Train of Naught  :biggrin: I'm sure Europe will be glad to see the back of us. All we ever do is moan about the EU and object to everything  :biggrin:

The packaging is really cool. I got the cd/blu ray (partly because that was all Best Buy had) and it comes in this little mini gatefold package. Each of the discs have their own jacket with pictures on them, and when you open up the gatefold there's this little pop up in the center of a live shot of the band. It's a neat little concept, though I imagine it looks a lot cooler on the vinyl copies. And the booklet is like 30 pages of just pictures. It's a really nice product.

Love the epic tunes on the ManOwaR.

yes, that's the same band.  It was released in 2006 after a 16 year hiatus.

And you say it's a good album? I may have to give it a spin.

I thought about half the songs were very good, the other half were average to good.  Overall it was really strong.  Had a Primal Fear vibe to it.

follow-up zone:
ihsahn - on a song-by-song basis these are all pretty great tracks, but am i the only one who thinks that as an album this is just incredibly incohesive? i still like it, just... yeah.
schammasch - okay it's kind of hard to get into this but I think i love it??? disc 1 a bit less than the other two but really this is all cool stuff that needs way more listens, i think
toothgrinder - didn't quite get into this right away but it's actually a pretty good album now that i have. a few weak tracks but every track is so short and focused that one or two weak tracks doesn't bring things down much

the cavern is really cool, i really like this style. tbh it kind of reminds me of east of the wall to some extent so that could be why tho
their upcoming album is solid too, kind of way more sludgy and slower but i'll probably get it anyways. especially since that album art is fantastic wow

Hey Hath, I was checking out that Fate album. Is Hank Shermann still part of it. Is that the same singer? I see what you mean about sounding a little like Primal Fear. It's not a bod album.




Currently listening to Blaze Bayley-Infinite Entanglement.
I love his passion.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Big Hath on July 05, 2016, 08:36:05 AM
no, I think Shermann was only on their earlier albums.

Per Johansson is the vocalist on V.  He joined right at tail end of their first incarnation and was only on the 1990 album before the break.  As far as I know those are the only two Fate albums he appears on.

I may know little to nothing about jazz, but these guys are just awesome. Fantastic mix of originals and covers of modern classics, like James Blake's Limit to Your Love (yes, this is a cover of his cover). Excellent stuff.

the mystery of the followup:

thy catafalque - i don't see how people are saying this is just them doing the same thing. the playful electronics that categorized the previous two albums are all but gone here, there's a real cinematic feel to this album and i love it. the few repeated motifs, the palindromic structure, the wonderful opener and closer and the two adventurous, metal-focused epics. this is probably not their best but i still like it a lot. all four of the albums i have from them are pretty great tho.

added to the rotation this week:

Pendragon - Passion

I must admit that it's taken me longer to get into this Pendragon album than the other four I own. The only passage that gripped me instantly on first listen (about a year ago) was the awesome driving instrumental at the end of This Green and Pleasant Land. The album is definitely growing on me though.

Opposites is fantastic.  The songs Opposite and Spanish Radio are beautiful.

On this new album - every other song is a ballad and they all sound as corny

as "Pocket" from Opposites.

The song "Medicine" is good but it just sounds too much like

"God and Satan" from Only Revolutions.

Wolves of Winter & Animal Style are good. Probably why they were singles.

Rest of the album is really meh.

i'm sure this is one album i'll need to warm up to at least a little, but.
damned if it isn't still pretty cool on first listen. definitely unique territory for me, though it's a bit long clearly. i shall see.

Also first time listening to Steven Wilson. Wonder if I'll appreciate this music.

Yea, I rarely listen to it either to be honest. I really have to be in the mood. I was listening due to a certain themed roulette round as it fits quite well :lol

Also, as a rule of thumb, listen to any album that H.R.Giger created the album art for as he's got an incredibly good track record with this shit!!

How do you know Zappa dominated your adolescence? You haven't listened to anything by him for more than a year (closer to two years, in fact) an the album in question in nearly five years all right, yet song titles automatically jump up in your head (Wind Up Workin' in a Gas Station, Black Napkins, The Torture Never Stops, Find Her Finer, Wonderful Wino, Disco Boy...)

i follow, you up

amadeus awad: i think after the first few listens i pretty much decided "the first track and the last two tracks are great and the rest is fine but a bit unmemorable". but yeah, that's over half the album that i like a lot, so
slice the cake: i find myself not being as big a fan of all the heavier metal parts of this and would definitely have liked an hour-long version of this album with some of the fat trimmed, but there's a ton of cool moments and i really like all the spoken word stuff here, oddly, it's cool

added to the rotation this week:
john cage - 4'33"

i've been listening to albums that just arrived this week though, still 2 more in the mail, i'll add stuff to the rotation next week tbh

What do you think of the Blaze Kade?

I thought it was interesting. He's turning into a Heavy Metal Meatloaf!
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: wolfking on July 15, 2016, 04:23:47 PM
Only just got it, so I'm pretty late, but I've heard a few tracks prior and this is my first full listen and I actually think it's really good.  The production lets it down, could be heavier and Blaze is way too loud, but it's good honest no frills heavy metal.

The songs are well written yet simple but catchy.  Love the Meat Loaf reference, but it's kind of true.  His vocals are passionate and you can't fault the man for his effort and desire.  Only up to Calling You Home, but liking everything here.

this is just like, going down the list of things i like in music and checking the majority of them.
great, sludgy riffs? ooh yea
some chaotic proggy nonsense that feels controlled and interesting? yeah baby
a nice guitar solo that builds well? mmm
some beautiful moments and violin just 'cause? yuh.
all in a nice, tight 45-minute single-song package.
just throw in some atmospheric electronic moments and it'd be perfect
but yeah that wouldn't fit the style of this at all don't do that

I quite like Billy Talent, saw them live a few weeks back, but I feel like this is a really average album even for their standards. It's basically the same style and formula they've used on every album up till now, and tbh only like two tracks stood out as memorable to me and really made me pay attention. I play to give it more listens, but it didn't leave a good first impression.

their sound is kind of gimmicky, but i think it works well enough. not sure this is great, but it's interesting enough for me to want to check out
disclaimer: only listened to 20 minutes or so of it tho
also, you will literally never believe why i found this album to begin with, so i'm not going to say why  :corn

actually like 30 minutes on this one bcuz i accidentally listened to the 9 minute track too
i'm not like, huge on this on first listen but it seems interesting? they basically do whatever they feel like apparently, so i could probably go and listen to all of this, but i won't yet

I really love the whole album, it is quite different to their other albums but the first four will always be solid gold in my opinion. I love listening through albums 1-4, or even better, watching the Neverender DVD where they played the first 4 albums over 4 consecutive nights, would LOVE it if they did that again.

i feel like doing this because this is one of those weird concepts that intrigues me but also i might hate. so yeah just listening to the one-track-each short version
black: heavy electronic style, this is okay but not a huge fan.
red: this is literally a coheed and cambria song with lower-pitched vocals. feels a bit bland.
orange: hello, stone temple pilots? that's what it sounds like to me at least. except that cool jam at the end. solid.
yellow: ahh, indie rock, my "favorite" genre. fine, but i've heard this song before a hundred times.
green: ahh, indie folk, my other "favorite" genre. fine, but i've heard this song before a hundred times.
blue: this is probably my favorite of all of these so far, even though it's not really anything special
indigo: this is paramawave or something, i rlly like this sound. then it gets more upbeat and i still like it.
violet: this sounds exactly like a TDH song. i guess the band is violet by default.
white: yeah, this is like, radio pop rock. but it's ok?

wow, this is like really disappointing. the band is showing less diversity here than any of the 20 minutes of album i listened to. i mean i listened to one song off each which is "probably not enough" but w/e

Why not, good listening on a Saturday night.

@Parama, I was pretty underwhelmed by Acts I-III and the Colour Spectrum when I first heard them (all within 6 months before Act IV dropped). Act IV helped me appreciate the band more. I think all their albums are growers and in my experience growers definitely have more staying power.

Been a fan since the first SB & Barrage album. I love that album and the two I played yesterday but not so much the newer stuff. And it's sunny day music and living in the north west of england we don't have too many of those days!

This is the only one I have, got it not too long ago, but really impressed by it.  Only got it cause of Mularoni who's a beast.  The new one I posted is really good.  I'll have to still check out the last couple though.

I was pretty much burned out by all this new music after my roulette ended, but now I'm starting to check out some of the music I've got there. Both Redemption and Sieges Even albums are the ones I've got songs from, for DGM I decided to go with the new one since I have it available anyway; I also want to revisit Pariah's Child (since they're going to release a new album pretty soon) and see how my opinion of it changed after a year of not-listening to it.

Also, most of the people who participated in my v2 roulette can expect a PM from me some time during the upcoming week.

Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Evermind on July 23, 2016, 03:33:29 PM
Phew, finished listening to all four albums.

Redemption - my favourite of the bunch and just an amazing album it seems, definitely going into my rotation. A lot to take in on the first listen, but I remember I really enjoyed Peel, Unformed and Keep Breathing. Obviously I knew Black and White World from the roulette and it's probably still my favourite track from the album. Love Kills Us All / Life in One Day will need more listens, I've heard a lot of good things about it but I don't think I could repeat any melody from it after one listen. Probably a grower.

DGM - well that's probably my well-known beef with Italian power metal talking, but I didn't find it really interesting or anything like that. There were some cool tracks - The Secret pt. 1, Ghost of Insanity (this one features Tom Englund on vocals and has that Evergrey vibe all around it, probably my favourite), and Daydreamer - and that's about it, other tracks were quite bland for me and I wanted to skip a few of them after a minute or two. Not a good sign for the album.

Sieges Even - this was also a lot to take in but I think I enjoyed every song. Great singer and I really like the acoustic guitar playing on the whole album. Very clean production too, just the kind of progressive rock I was looking to. This is definitely going in the rotation, I need to listen to it more. Favourite tracks so far were The Lonely Views of Condors (got this one in the roulette), Blue Wide Open and Lighthouse. While Snowfall on Judgment Day was my favourite from the bunch, I think this is the album I'm looking forward to spin again the most.

Sonata Arctica's Pariah Child - actually, the songwriting here is really good except for last two tracks which I mostly can't stand. What really brings the album down is the production, especially after the Sieges Even album where you could hear everything clearly. Here the production is just muddy. Still, some good tracks on this one - especially Blood which is easily Top 10 SA song for me. I think I'm a bit more pumped for their new album now.

Ruslan, that Redemption is easily my fav and I can't remember if it wasn't a top 50 album for me, it was a top 60, it's incredible.

The Sieges Even is fantastic too, but does need multiple listens, I found it a real grower, beautiful album though.

what i've been spinning this past week

cobalt: this is a cool sound in theory but there really is no reason the album needed to be this long. it waters down the entire experience, makes it hard for moments or songs to stand out or even be that memorable. maybe this just needs more spins tho
fallujah: my kneejerk reaction was to really love this but the issue that's popped up is that a lot of the more straightforward metal songs don't have much of an identity and i have trouble distinguishing them, but the sound as a whole is pretty cool
inter arma: yeah, this is the good stuff. the biggest issue i have is that the song does hold on that first heavy riff way too long, but that's like, the only issue i have with this at all tbh, otherwise it's pretty dang great

Halfway through Redemption and holy shit is this album great or what?

I'll post my thoughts when I'll finish all these four albums.

All four are at least good, IMHO, but both the Redemption one and the Sieges Even one... Oooh...  :metal

It's quality , mellow , atmospheric , relaxing melodic rock.   So next time you're on the couch in your dressing gown with a nice red and some bikkies and cheese...... ;D

It's getting mostly great reviews (return to the glory of the debut etc....) but it's not in that class IMO.   The good thing is that they have their own signature , Celtic tinged sound in tact but to me it's all too "samey" and gets a bit old by the end.   Unfortunately the return of Vinny Burns hasn't added the edge that I had hoped for and the songwriting isn't at the same level as their early material.

Yet another recent release in the "good , not great" category and a score from me around 80%

I only have Out of the Silence and it's great but this is kind of how I feel about it.  Didn't know Vinny Burns was back on this one, I'll have a listen, but I doubt I'm in the mood for this laid back style at the moment.

Finally got around to giving this a listen. I liked it on first impressions. I found it easier to concentrate on the lyrics on this album with the less 'full on' sound. This is good as I've always liked the fact that they have lots of environmentally/socially conscious lyrics, this is something I feel I can relate to. I often have trouble concentrating on lyrics as my ear is usually drawn to the guitars more than anything.

Definitely a good first impression.

REALLY?? I found I was able to make out more lyrics than on any of their previous albums. Not saying I can make out everything but it's definitely clearer. I don't think it's just a slightly different vocal approach, I just think the music is less distracting. Really good stuff though. About to give it a second listen in a minute.

Indeed it is just a best of, but I only picked it up cause I saw it instore.  Pretty standard, but it's cool to listen to a collection once in a while.  Sounds pretty nice though.  The track list is solid enough but could fit a lot more songs in and has some obscure choices IMO.

The Denner/Shermann is on Spotify so I'm checking it out now. First song isn't too bad. I'm not a fan of the vocals, though. His voice is all over the place and is ruining what could be something really good.

Exactly. It's almost like some amateurish singer trying to find his place in the music. I like the music though; it's dark and heavy like Mercyful Fate.

I actually wish they got a singer quite a bit different with their own style from someone trying to do the King Diamond thing.  I know his voice is a bit different, but not really.  bah, I know what I mean.

Listening to a podcast retrospective on this album yesterday had me yearning to hear some of these songs again.  I can remember waiting outside my college CD shop twenty-three years ago, waiting for 12:00 AM to come so they'd open their doors to their midnight madness sale for all of us to pick this up (along with another pretty good album that came out that day, Rush's 'Counterparts').

how is that?

I can't really review it from a classical music nut's perspective as , although I studied as a young'un , it hasn't stayed with me and I rarely listen to it.  And I am only half way through my first listen..........

Having said that I think it is very strong and really beautiful in parts , which is no small task given a cast of 100+ -  it's a mile better than anything Malmsteen has done in ages (from a neoclassical perspective) and it's right up there with any symphonic stuff I have heard in recent years.   If you want to pick it to pieces from a purist's point of view then I am sure it'll be easy as he has added vocals/lyrics (some of them rather lame but thankfully I take little notice of lyrics :lol) and the first track is an original that really has nothing to do with Vivaldi.

If the thought of a symphonic metal album loosely based around familiar themes from Vivaldi's FOur Seasons appeals then I expect that you will really enjoy it.  I was sceptical going in but am (so far) quite impressed and expect it to be up there in a few Best of 2016 lists..

Relistened to Sieges Even and Marketa Irglova since I really liked those albums in my first listen, and I'm going to keep them in this upcoming week rotation; and also getting further into Redemption with The Origins of Ruin - damn, this one could be even better than Snowfall, love it so far.

The evening playlist is latest Evergrey and two TAC-influenced albums by Enbound and Dead Lord.

So many good tracks on The Origins on Ruin, wow. Bleed Me Dry, the sequence of Memory and the title track (which is just gorgeous), The Death of Faith and Reason and of course the closer. I'm blown away by how great both this one and Snowfall are. Incredible.

last week's greatest hits

beyond the bridge: this is actually quite good, especially the entire back half. the climax of struggle, pretty much all of the difference is human, both ballads are pretty great too and the instrumental is pretty strong, i wanna listen to this more
moonsorrow: not like, particularly unique in any way, just well-made folky black metal. have had a little trouble getting into this one tbh but i do enjoy it
thrice: i mean, gripes about the lyrics aside this is fine. it's fairly diverse though there are a few throwaway tracks, and it's still way better than muse's drones too, so

Listening to this right now. I definitely agree, this is a good one. I really like the second ballad, Where the Earth and Sky Meet, and of course a lot of these big climactic songs like Doorway to Salvation and All A Man Can Do.

So Speaking of this great album, I have a vacation story. It's no secret that I hate flying. So when we were going down the runway taking off in Boston, I had a slight panic attack. I quickly grabbed my iPod and the first thing I could think of to soothe me was Raising Fear. By the time the plane was in the air I was in full throttle Armored Saint. It completely calmed me down.
For take off for the flight home.. "Bow down here, cuz the Saint's Raising Fear!!" :metal

That's Music Complete by New Order, released in September 2015. I bought a copy soon after, and recently I've been playing it a lot. I haven't listened to much of the band's older output, and I'm no fan of electronic/dance music as well; but this album I find very addictive right now. Some really solid and beautiful rock songs ("Restless", "Nothing But Fool") and catchy electronic pieces ("Tutti Frutti", "Unlearn This Hatred"). It's also weak for many minutes, for sure, but still a fun listen.

Chaosbay's Vasilisa only has like 1000 to 2000 listens on Spotify but it's probably my favorite album discovery of the year, it's a German prog metal band and they sound like Steven Wilson gone metal, really cool. They claim it to be one 41-minute song divided into 8 tracks but there's some debate about that, doesn't sound like 1 song to me but the songs do share a TON of reprised themes and stuff, something I really like.

First is progressive rock with some jazz influences. Heard it first time yesterday and had to listen to both CDs, very good album.
Second band is not obscure here but check it if you don't know it. Pretty standard, melodic '90s prog metal, it's awesome.

*snip*

beyond the bridge: this is actually quite good, especially the entire back half. the climax of struggle, pretty much all of the difference is human, both ballads are pretty great too and the instrumental is pretty strong, i wanna listen to this more

Listening to this right now. I definitely agree, this is a good one. I really like the second ballad, Where the Earth and Sky Meet, and of course a lot of these big climactic songs like Doorway to Salvation and All A Man Can Do.

You guys inspired me to spin this one today, and damn, after four years this album just keeps getting better and better. It's so great it's unbelievable, really.

Still astounded I've lost 425's roulette because of All A Man Can Do.

Post by: 425 on August 03, 2016, 11:10:15 AM
Yeah, I gave that song an individual score of 8.5 which was the lowest score on an EP that earned a 19. In retrospect I could see a 19.5, maybe, but if I went back and redid the whole thing, a lot would have changed in retrospect.

Anyway I think this is a really good album so thanks Evermind! I'll try not to screw you over for a third time in my eventual v2. :P

Though I am now pretty sure I like them, I freely admit they are a bit hard to get to (and especially for me, since I was never that much into atmospheric/melancholic music). It really helps if you decide to like them and put an album or two on repeat, until you know it by heart  ;D

It's funny how you have to sometimes almost force yourself to like something. When I explain that to friends who don't 'get' my obsession over discovering music they just think I'm weird. I've got bands that I know I'll like but I know I need to put the time in. Riverside are only just starting to click for me after listening to them for about a year. I haven't forced myself with them though, I've just played them often knowing I'll get there eventually.

Yeah, my longest "forcing to like" was probably with Hogarth-era Marillion. Apart from maybe Tales from Topographic Oceans, Brave definitely must hold the record for "most listens and most years spent with it while I still don't know whether I like it or hate it".


I actually found Riverside quite easy to get into however, marred mostly by the fact I discovered them at the same time as Redemption, who are definitely closer to "my style", but I loved Anno Domini pretty much instantly.

None of the above  :lol Abbey Road is my favourite, Rubber Soul is probably #3, or Sgt. Pepper. The White album has some of my favourite all time Beatles songs (Blackbird  :heart) but also a lot of filler in my opinion.

After watching the Wacken stream of their set,

Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera

I love this one, I never got the hate for it.

I'm no big BG fan but I was under the impression that it was considered one of their classics?

I only got not them a few years ago, but I understand this was the album where their sound changed and went more progressive and complicated.

*No World for Tomorrow*

 :metal

Yep! Just got it last week. I actually went through all of Coheed's albums in story chronological order, even though that probably didn't matter because I don't understand a lot of what goes on in the story, so this completes my journey (I got TCBTS a while ago). I'd say it's a satisfying conclusion.

Nice sig, btw :P

bent knee: hhhmmm. no. i don't think i really care for this. most of the songs don't feel like songs, just strings of musical ideas loosely tied together. eve especially, which is just 10 minutes of nothing happening. i don't hate it or anything but i'm not getting much out of this yet, it's kind of a slog
eight bells: this is cool. i like the first song the most probably (that riff <3) but it's all pretty cool, a unique sound to it too. i wanna keep listening to it
vektor: i dunno yet. i feel like i am just scratching the surface of this one right now. my current thoughts are: first three tracks are cool, middle three are just okay, last three are great, but that's like a "i feel like i've only listened to this once or twice" opinion, this is a bit out of my comfort zone i guess  :lol

How would you rate the albums? I for one really didn't enjoy TCBTS at all.
Also I still don't undestand the story even though I've heard all of the albums many times.  :lol I'm not a fan of comics so I guess it wont happen.

Also I still don't undestand the story even though I've heard all of the albums many times.  :lol I'm not a fan of comics so I guess it wont happen.

I've pretty much figured out the Afterman story and much of the GA1 story with a lot of help from the internet, but everywhere else I'm pretty much lost.

I like The Color Before the Sun pretty well, actually! It's very non-proggy, but I thought it was a pretty good album of radio friendly stuff. Particularly like Colors, Here to Mars and Peace to the Mountain.

My album ranking would probably be (and keep in mind that I've heard GA2 and YotBR only twice each, while I've heard both Afterman albums a ton, so this is very subject to change):

1. In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
2. Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness
3. The Afterman: Descension
4. The Afterman: Ascension
5. Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow
6. The Color Before the Sun
7. The Second Stage Turbine Blade
8. Year of the Black Rainbow

I really didn't find much to like at all in YOTBR. I need to listen to it more (especially since I like all their other albums), but it just seemed pretty bland compared to their other stuff. My overall disappointment with that album on the first two listens led me to get SSTB, IKSOSE:3 and GA1 more quickly than I originally planned, and that kind of left YOTBR sitting on the shelf.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Crow on August 07, 2016, 04:46:16 PM
IKS
NWFT
Descension
SSTB
FFTTEOM

YOTBR

so you aren't really wrong about YOTBR

6. The Color Before the Sun
7. The Second Stage Turbine Blade
8. Year of the Black Rainbow

The story is all kinds of confusing and actually kind of dumb in places (and I'm saying that as a fan, C&C are my #3 band). Good Apollo 1 is where it starts to get really confusing and I don't even fully understand it. That's a pretty good ranking however I would always have the first 4 albums as my top 4. I don't mind TCBtS but it just doesn't have the depth of the other albums. It does what it says on the tin but I know in years to come it won't be one of the albums I come back to.

My ranking would be:

Second Stage Turbine
Year of the Black Rainbow
A: Descension
A: Ascension
Color Before the Sun

I like YotBR. It has some good ballads and some of my favourite individual songs. It's the last 3 songs that let the album down for me. They do zero for me!!

Meh:
YOTBR
TCBTS

Post by: Crow on August 07, 2016, 06:06:21 PM
yeah, i'll admit that descension definitely drops off after gravity's union but that first 5 song run is awesome, and the last two tracks have their moments

GA1 i'd like more but it feels like it has more filler than the albums before or after it. who cares about always & never, crossing the frame, once upon your dead body, the lying lies, or mother may i

i certainly don't

This, basically. They don't live up to the first five, but I like all of the last four, especially 2's My Favorite 1, and those first five are so good that it makes up for it.


GA1 i'd like more but it feels like it has more filler than the albums before or after it. who cares about always & never, crossing the frame, once upon your dead body, the lying lies, or mother may i

I agree with this to a certain extent. I really like Always and Never quite a lot, but I agree that some of those are less excellent than IKSOSE:3 is all the way through. I put it second for The Willing Wells in particular, and I like a lot of the other songs, but I could easily put it behind Descension. IKS is pretty easily my favorite at this point.

But I don't quite get it with SSTB—isn't that an album that really drops off about halfway through?

Honestly can't believe they're already releasing Act V, and from the songs released so far it's looking to maybe even be just as good as Act IV.

I can't see myself getting tired of this album soon either, there are so many little subtile things in the background. The very organic sound makes this album so pleasurable to listen to top.

damn. the version i have is the 78 minute remaster too, which means i get subjected to insanity for about as much as they could fit on the disc.

i'm sure that, no matter what else it is, this will definitely be interesting to keep spinning. so goddamn much to take in and a unique, if maybe a bit gimmicky, sound

but i like it.

The first song I heard from The Dear Hunter was "Stuck On A Wire Out On A Fence" and I still think that it's a terrible track. But seeing this album so much on here I finally decided to give it a spin and must say that it's pretty damn good. I really like the musical-like approach, some songs sound like they could be on Sweeney Todd.

graviton: this is like, the most "post-" that post-metal has ever been. there's barely any metal, actually, imo. and some electronic or acoustic interlude tracks. it feels like a metal band making a non-metal album. that's what post-metal means, essentially, so. and i like it, dunno if i love it, but it's interesting
inter arma: first half of this is kind of boring. primordial wound especially, is just 10 minutes of nothing. and then the back of the album is kind of awesome? potomac plain and simple rocks, the title track is a great epic, violent constellations is pretty interesting and intense, and the closer is gorgeous. shame i half to sit through tracks 2-4 though.
oak pantheon: i find it hard to have an opinion on this yet tbh, it's very pretty and heavily post-rock infused black metal and it doesn't really stand out in any major way but i find myself enjoying it plenty regardless. parts of climb and enormity especially, just rule

This album amazes me every time i listen to it. Like some review i read said, "To put it plainly, a four-piece band with a combined age of 235 should not be relevant in a post-9/11 heavy metal scene. More specifically, they shouldn't be good. Heaven and Hell is both of these and more. The Devil You Know is better than good (see: great) and it proves that these old geezers (one of whom is named Geezer) are as relevant and powerful as ever. "

Yep, that's the first album that popped into my head. The only other ones I've got after skimming through my library are:

Good Apollo I - Coheed and Cambria
Ocean Machine - Devin Townsend
City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold

There are probably others as I didn't even think City of Evil was 70+ but I checked and according to wikipedia it is. Doesn't feel that long at all!!

I think I've got lots of these. Elinoire, Dark Passion Play, The Perfect Element pt. 1, Imaginaerum, Mercy Falls, The Dream Sequencer / THE / TTOE by Ayreon, probably more I can't remember right now.

I was about to say The Old Man and the Spirit by Beyond the Bridge too, but apparently it's only 67 minutes. Who knew?

Anyway, now listening to:

Dee Snider's son's band - starts off with some angst fuelled , punk influenced modern rock (not bad) but by the end of the 16 tracks it was a big bore.  Zzzzz.

Was about to post this album cover myself. I'd say on initial listen that it's better than their last two albums (Gavin rejuvenated them a bit), but they still miss the mark of the good old days. They have some really great albums, like Variations on a Dream, Little Man and What We Have Sown. Their albums since has been mixed in quality, some good, some that are just kinda alright, but it seems normal for many bands to lose their spark 15-20 years into their career.

Finally giving these two a listen.

Really liking the orchestral parts in the Earthside album. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing.

Edit: Wow, I've just finished listening to A Dream in Static and that was one hell of a first listen. I can't believe this is their debut!! Really good first impression. As I mentioned before, the orchestral parts really work for me. I get a Haken vibe off some of these songs but I must admit this left a better first impression on me than any of the Haken albums. I'll see how it holds up on multiple listens but I have a good feeling about it.

I get the feeling these guys must have some money behind them from somewhere to produce a debut like this.

This album is like... Ambient and trip-hop but also post-rock with modern electronics and a male/female duo. Quite atmospheric and relaxing.

I kind of get what you mean but the orchestral versions and Black Mages versions are closer to Nobuo's original vision. This is more true with games I-VI as he was more limited by the technology then. By VII of course he was able to make more cinematic sounding OST's. But if you like the earlier games then Distant Worlds and The Black Mages give a more cinematic feel. I have a shit ton of Final Fantasy music. More than I need to be honest but the music is so good.

Typically, I'm not a fan of electronic music with the wob, wobs, and stuff like that.  Somehow, I find this album very tastefully done and, thankfully, it highlights the violin as the dominant instrument.  There's like 8 songs with vocals from a wide range of vocalists from adult contemporary singers, from country guys, from the singer of Weezer, from a hip-hop musician and others.

I like it.

I haven't listened to their whole discography yet, but I'd say The Ape of Naples and Horse Rotorvator are good albums to start with. The first if you want something dramatic and sad, the latter if you want something more abrasive.

Marty Friedman - Dragons Kiss

Running Wild - Rapid Foray

A couple of tracks into that one myself -  sounds good but Rolfy's voice is shot if that's the best they can get him sounding in the studio.

Strong second half to that album.  I have always found them inconsistent across an album but I love select tracks , esp in the Blazon Stone era.   I think this new one is one of their more consistent efforts.

Next up.........

I fear I am going to like the songs but struggle with the muddy production with this one if initial impressions are accurate.

Some Frontiers releases

King Company - Onr For The Road. Not bad. Closest comparison for me would be The Poodles.

Cruzh - st. Ok so far. Nothing earthshaking

DGM - too early to say. Not wowed yet

Also

Vicious Rumors - concussion protocol. A steaming turd of blandness.

I checked out the Cruzh on Spotify last night. Solid, but I agree nothing Earth shattering. I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure I'd return to it.

My favourite albums by each of those bands. Moonmadness is a top 50 album for me, Airborn is simply gorgeous. The Show Must Go On is perhaps the most poignant song ever, given what was going on with Freddy's health when it was recorded.

Mirage used to be my favorite Camel album but I'm not sure right now, it's really close between it, Moonmadness and Snow Goose.

I'm done with Paradise Lost for now guys. Listened to Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us, Draconian Times and The Plague Within.

Didn't like Draconian Times, loved a few songs off Faith Divides Us including the title-track and especially "Frailty", my favorite PL tune so far. The Plague Within was my favorite, very consistent throughout and not a single mediocre song on it, also a very diverse output.

Now deciding between Flaming Row and Obsidian Kingdom for my next band to check out, any tips?

Flaming Row: Sounds like I get sent the best 3 songs off this album. Great picks for the EP round but overall not that impressed by this album, don't know what it is but it's too sweet or something, I'd like some more core growls like on Rage of Despair, some more catchy tunes like Nightingales Chirp and some more killer instrumental sections like on Time Mirror.

Obsidian Kingdom: Only on the third song right now and even though it's a pretty short album IDK if I can finish it today, but it sounds very good so far.

Probably going to go through Mantiis a couple times again afterwards because I remember it being really good too, and after that it's time for Dir En Grey baby :metal not today though. Besides Uroboros, does anyone have DEG album recommendations?

I was really disappointed with RTB. I had kind of just gotten back into Rush after pretty much taking the 80's off. I found it so beneath their abilities musically. At least Presto had a certain ambiance about it.

I find it a "just ok" album. I prefer Counterparts an TFE than RTB for this "more direct rock sound" period of Rush.

I prefer RTB over Presto and everything following it.Couterparts was a decent album but I hated everything else up to Clockwork Angels.

only week's worth of listens for all these tbh and i'm still gonna keep listening but i have opinions

eluvium: this is the good kind of chill and i just adore it, tbh. it's the kind of ambient stuff you can just let wash over you, nothing intrusive and nothing that destroys the atmosphere. the way i like it tbh
shining: giving this more spins it starts to kind of make more sense and lose a bit of its intrigue but i still enjoy listening to it regardless. there's something visceral and unsettling to the last few tracks especially. i still think this may be more "interesting" than "i really like it" but i enjoy listening to it regardless
thank you scientist: they didn't disappoint. a proggier direction than their debut but i kinda dig it for that, and they still have a talent for ridiculously memorable hooks. don't really feel there's a weak song on here but if there is one at all it's blue automatic, i guess, a bit "there" compared to the rest but still good. but yeah. this is rlly good

honestly this was accidentally a really good set of albums to have together because i like them all a lot but i also like them all for completely different reasons

Cool story.
I'm a Community Memtal Health nurse, working with people with dementia. I've nursed maybe a handful of patients who's musical taste has any relevance to mine, but it's sweet when it happens. Meat Loaf was one of those bands, along with Zep, Hendrix, Sabbath.
I love some Meat Loaf though.

That's really cool. Music is great for people with dementia. There are a couple of people I support with Down's Syndrome who have the early onset of dementia. I wouldn't call myself a fan of Meat Loaf at all but I'd rather listen to that then a lot of other crap out there. Surprisingly catchy and great to sing-a-long to.


There is another lady I support, through agency work, who is in her mid 50's and is a very sweet lady who almost seems a bit old before her time. One of the first time's I supported her I walked in and she had headphones on. I asked her what she was listening to and she said "Megadeth." I couldn't believe it!! I would never in a million years guess she was into metal. She loves Motley Crue as well  :lol

checked this out bcuz 1. it was listed as jazz fusion 2. it's like <$5 on importcds lol
only listened thru the first half because i don't really have time but. it seems solid. very little jazz in here tbh, about as much as a standard prog metal band would have. the production and especially drum sound could use a bit of work. probably won't check it out further but

i was gonna check out wilderun but they don't have any albums on importcds so r i p, i'll look into them later
(only rlly looking into cds because devy next friday that i want to have asap, and 3 is a good number. #2 is the new eluvium for the record so i just need a third)

anyways now i gotta do roulette results  :corn

Really loving this at the moment. Been on a bit of an RX Bandits kick and the vocal melodies on this album are just doing it for me  :hat

Edit: Check this song, I can't stop listening. The chorus is just eargasm to me.

I just checked my lyrics booklet on this one and it doesn't have the lyrics :lol TMV are always so pretentious with lyric booklets, they keep it cryptic with every single album. (this one has several quotes scattered around the pages from Cerpin Taxt and anonymous people from the story instead of actual lyrics)

Better than Roka Hasa or whatever it's called, though I like both. Still, Molekulais Gepezetek is the best song off both albums

Thoughts on OK Computer, trainy?
Awesome. I remember disliking Karma Police back in the day but now I actually enjoy it.

Yup. As someone who loves Japanese music, it's pretty big for me. It's a bit of an acquired taste, and a lot of it is built around the same piano ostinato, but the way everything around it morphs is heavenly.

It's probably my least favorite up to and including The Seventh Sign.  Making Love, Save Our Love, and Judas are the standout tracks on Eclipse. Other than that, I feel everything else is mediocre.

I actually bowed out after Trilogy, which I found very disappointing. I took one look at the promo pics for Odessey and skipped that (stupidly apparently). Eclipse came out and I decided to give Yngwie a shot with a blind buy. I saw him in a club on that tour, so I decided to buy the latest album.

Yes to Yngwie!

That live album is so awesome!

The only problem with that awesome live album is it needs to be longer. This is another band that is extremely long overdue for another live album

I love this album. It got slated hard when it came out and I avoided it for quite a few years. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. It was the album that made me decide not to listen to the critics or certain magazines album reviews.

Also, for the record I love the wall of sound that listening to 6 albums at once brings  :lol

Took me some convincing from home's score on the iamthemorning song, albeit from a different album. But I'm finally checking out the self-titled because Monsters was such an awesome song.

As for the others, GIAA's latest album: It's pretty damn dark compared to their other work and has some significantly more heavy material on it, been playing it a lot lately and it's another amazing album by this band that is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorites.

Twelve Foot Ninja and The Dear Hunter: They're both new releases and still need some more time with them. Can say for sure that TDH will end up somewhere on top of my 2016 albums list though, and TFN probably not, it's a cool record but apart from a few standouts pretty linear.

cult of luna: hmmm. not feeling this one nearly as much as somewhere along the highway. it's fine but doesn't have the quirkiness of the follow up and isn't really as interesting. it's too long too, for sure
ephel duath: this album has an interesting sound but thus far i'm having trouble really getting too into it or finding much of it memorable. but it might just need more listens since it's kind of... a lot, even for as short an album as it is
sigh: yeah, this is pretty cool. one or two tracks that maybe feel redundant, especially since the extended version i have is looong, but there's a lot here i quite like, though i wouldn't say i love it yet either

how is the other cobalt album there that isn't slow forever. i've heard their previous works are actually better and i liked slow forever a good bit to begin with but physical copies seem to be crazy expensive

I like Gin much more than Slow Forever, but granted, I have only listened to both once so far. Not sure my recommendation means much at this point.  :lol

But, Gin hit me much harder. Lots of good songs there while Slow Forever just seemed a bit more bloated and needlessly overlong at points. I like the vocals on Slow Forever more though, the ones on Gin are much... rougher, but I stopped noticing by about the 2nd or 3rd track. They fit the music so it wasn't a big deal.

Post by: Crow on September 12, 2016, 10:08:48 PM
will agree that slow forever is a bit long, yeah. not diverse enough to support its length but it's a unique enough sound that i still enjoy it plenty
edit: wow okay what, sometime in the last two months they must have rereleased gin or something because suddenly it exists for plenty reasonable prices everywhere. okay. might look into getting it then  :lol
edit2: their bandcamp actually has a great deal on all their stuff? wow. damn. will spin their previous two and see which i wanna go for first then  :lol

Yup, I agree. And that's saying a lot, because there's been quite a bit of awesome music this year.

Only time will tell if this beats Murder Ballads as my favourite Nick Cave album, but it's already sitting at #2 very comfortably, and I've only known it for a week. Distant Sky might be the most beautiful song that I have heard this year.

"let's rewrite the first two songs from blackjazz nine times, and also literally steal a saxophone bit from fisheye just to hammer in the point that this is boring and recycled"

like wow there's just none of the interesting experimentation on this album, it's such a shame. i hear their followup is at least a bit quirkier but still kind of in the same "straightforward songs" vein

poked around at a few of the songs then accidentally ended up listening to the entire album, albeit really out of order

...yeah, this is the shining i like more. even weirder than blackjazz honestly but it's incredibly fascinating stuff to listen to.
i also found out that there's a 2PC set of this + their previous album on importcds for a reasonable price so I may have to pick that up? i'd kinda prefer to get each album separately but it'd be a lot more expensive/harder to find...

okay this is maybe a bit far removed from what I'd want to listen too though. way more along the lines of jazz fusion than anything else. it's kinda interesting but not really my thing

good to know that like all of healter skelter is reworked bits from their previous two albums though ahah  :lol

Their last album has some electronics, and my friends say the live blackjazz album is better than the studio version :corn

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission

Such an amazing record, it will probably end up on my top 50 by year's end.

the biggest difference between this and slow forever seems to be that this album feels... cleaner, soundwise, though it doesn't have the southern rock flair that slow forever has in a few places

it's also not as bloated, though, so

i dig it stylistically for sure, would probably have to give it a lot of listens to really determine if i "liked" it though on an overall, which was the same as slow forever so yeeaaahh. gonna listen to eater of birds too but i want at least one of this band's albums in my next purchase

again hard to judge this band's music on just one listen but i'm inclined to like this a bit more than gin, it has more of a "roughness" to it
though fundamentally they aren't particularly different albums and odds are i'll get both of them at some point...
dunno what it is about this band, i can't really say i "love" any songs on slow forever or that it's even that memorable but i do enjoy listening to it a fair bit regardless and that makes me want to check out their other stuff, so, yeah, cool

gonna listen to sacul's EP now finally also

Listened to David Bowie's 'Hours...' while writing an essay. First time hearing it. Found quite a bit to like on here. That album art is way to cluttered though

Meytal - Alchemy :
Not really my style of music ( Kinda Linkin Park ish with some good heaviness and a little proggy elements in it )  but it has its moments and not really bad over all singer not bad at all , I was hoping for more prog metal sound but she is a really good drummer hopefully next one is more prog metal.

Myrath - Legacy :
I really liked it at first listen I can hear the newer Symphony X riffs and even guitar tone threw out this album but still have there own style in there but that's ok with me I know they are huge fans and started of covering them anyway.

the dear hunter: i like this, dunno if i love this though. i'm not really taken in by the theatrics, and it feels like there's a fair bit of wasted space on this album. there's no stretch of songs all in a row that i really like either; i like the old haunt, i like waves, i like the bitter suite iv and v, i like king of swords, i like if all goes well, i like wait. some of a night on the town is pretty good, the squeaky wheel is alright, ouroboros starts strong but ends anticlimactically. it's like every time i start to really get into it, something happens to undercut my enjoyment, and it definitely should've been shorter than it is
hammock: i got exactly what i expected out of this album and i consider that a very good thing
unexpect: man, i wish i liked this more than i do. what it ends up feeling like to me is a collection of ideas with nothing tying them together. and some of the ideas are cool but far more of them are just "ehh, that's pretty weird i guess" or "not really feeling it" so i can't enjoy it much on that level either. i want more from this than it's giving me, i suppose. aside from the two non-metal tracks it's hard to tell anything apart too. and i don't like the talky bits on feasting fools or psychic jugglers at all.

Skeleton Tree: This is quickly cementing its spot atop my 2016 rankings. Such an emotional album throughout.
Transcendence: Definitely a great album. A bit of a lull in the middle (not the biggest fan of Stars and the title track), but the first four tracks and the last three are really good. Higher, despite what other people say about it, is a fucking beast and probably my favourite on the album.
Terria: Yeah, this is still brilliant. I haven't done album rankings in a long time, but I'm thinking that this might be my #1 now, I certainly prefer it to the previous #1 now.
Hypnotize: This was my previous #1 album, and while it's still amazing, my appreciation for it has dropped slightly. Vicinity of Obscenity and She's Like Heroin offer very little that I want to come back to, imo, so that's a drag, even though all the other tracks are absolutely stellar. Soldier Side is still my favourite song of all time though.
Sex Offender: Still as much as I remember it being. I really should listen to DFD/PC more, they're such great bands.
Act V: My first listen to this, and I like what I'm hearing. Definitely requires a lot more listens though.

Easily my favourite from these guys. Really pumped to see them in a few weeks with Oceans of Slumber. Tickets were only £10!! So cheap it's unreal.

Managed to convince two of my buddys to come with so it's going to be awesome. One of them is a full on metal head so he will be fine. The other.......he's not into metal really and has never been to see a live band this heavy but he's up for it. Should be an eye opener  :lol

Got some stuff to review today.

Good selection!! Love the SH games. Can't really remember much about the soundtracks to be honest. It's been a few years!! I do love a good video game soundtrack though.

Opeth, obviously hyped for this.

Soulsavers?? Never heard of them but interesting cover. What are they like?

The sountracks on their own are excellent actually - I wrote this for the first one:

Damn, took me some time to get around this one! Maybe that's because it's been quite a while since I last played this game. I'll be honest, I thought it was quite bland but got the impression the soundtrack was nice. So revisiting it now I'm very impressed - dark industrial assaults of sounds and noises, disturbing ambient pieces, and some wonderful trip-hop tracks like Killing Time. Very influenced by Reznor (according to Yamaoka himself) and Badalamenti, feels like a very twisted Twin Peaks at times. Definitely better than what I expected when returning to it.

New Opeth is actually quite good, considering I haven't enjoyed anything they've done besides Damnation.

Soulsavers are like... trip-hop and gospel with some rock in between. It's kinda weird and a bit cheesy but quite interesting music.

Nice, might revisit SH via the soundtrack sometime. I like the occasional bit of NIN so a Reznor influence is fine by me.

Opeth I have a feeling I will prefer more than PC and Heritage, although I don't dislike either.

Soulsavers I might dabble. Bearing in mind the only trip-hop I really listen to is Portishead. I've tried a bit of Massive Attack but they didn't do a great deal for me.

The first one is definitely darker, the second SH has more of a trip-hop vibe I love.

Soulsavers are in the Portishead vein. But if you're interested on more of the genre, there's this project (https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Saculs78/safe_from_harm__exploring_the_bristol_sound_and_beyond___/1/) I've been working on.

Really want to play the third game for its OST tbh, heard it's quite trippy.

That's a really cool/sweet thing to do with your girlfriend. I must admit I find it a bit daunting to sometimes dive into a whole new genre when I don't have much of a point of reference as to what I like. I actually just sent this onto my girlfriend. She rips on me all the time for going on a music forum, she thinks it's a bit too geeky. She actually loves this style of music way more than I do. She got tickets for us to see Massive Attack earlier this year, which is not something I would have ever done. It was cool.

She will either think your project is really cool or really lame. Not sure which way it's going to go. We don't have much crossover in our musical tastes but when we are chilling together we tend to listen to 6 Radio (which is pretty cool). I am going to try to persuade her to pick some random albums from your list and we can listen together.

Cheers for this Sacul. I'll let you know how it goes  :biggrin:

Yeah we'll make some kind of introductory or "how to get into" the genre thing some day, maybe a flowchart or a list, dunno. Will let you know when/if it happens. Hope your gf fins something nice there!

I'd recommend you to pick some we have really enjoyed, like Ganglion or A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular, but some random stuff should work too  :tup

Anyway, the album is pretty damn good, though there's some filler there too, sadly. Shellmounds, We Can and War's End are all killer though.

This is probably generic crap since Hansen hasn't written a decent song in a decade, but oh well...

Edit: lol the first song is called Born Free and the chorus ends with "all my life" and sounds exactly like the "all your life" part in the chorus of Judas Priest's Rock Hard Ride Free.

I'm really loving the whole album but have to say I think I prefer the first half of the album. It's all just what I have come to expect from these guys though. Casey just nails it every time  :biggrin:

I almost think if Acts IV and V as like a double album as they came out in such quick succession and feel almost like counterparts to each other (to me anyhow).

How is this?
Although very badly recorded and drastically in need of a remaster, I'd say it is better than what they do nowadays. This album is viewed as a "demo" and gets ignored by a lot of people.

cynic: i dig the general sound of this album and it's actually really warm and pleasant in a way. some of the songs in the middle really blur together though. but yeah, enjoy this a fair bit
the ocean: first disc is just meh on the whole, not particularly into it but it's not awful either, just meh. second disc is pretty solid though, not as into the more straightforward post-metal style here as i am their proggier, song-oriented approach on later albums but it's all pretty good post-metal. rhyacian and stenian especially
so hideous: i can't tell any of the tracks here apart, but the album has a nice general sound to it and flows well enough to just take as a single piece of music anyways. i think it's missing "something" to make it really work for me but i enjoy it regardless.

Brent, how did you rate these albums against each other?

I don't believe I have got to the Lords of Black yet Tim........with the amount of time I have spent on other things (podcasts, 1988 list etc....) I'm a bit behind on the shit tonne of 2016 releases.

Innerwish is very good - I rated it around 85% but it really deserves better and (as is common these days) suffers from too many tracks.  Drop the last 4 or 5 tracks (all of which are good but not in the same league as the best in the first half) and I would have it comfortably in the 90's.

First listen. I like this but it's going to take more time to digest.

Am I the only one who hears some similarities to Metropolis on Destiny Calls? I hear a little piece near the beginning that is reminiscent of the Metropolis Pt. 1 instrumental, and then there's a riff early on that sounds a lot like that big riff in Home. There's also the line "Raise my head and stare into the broken eyes of a stranger another." Seem to be a lot of coincidental near-references to classic prog metal concepts on that song. Not a criticism, as I find that kind of thing cool, especially when it's subtle, just wondering if I'm crazy or if others hear it.

On another note, I don't find the dreaded voiceovers to be that bad. They aren't great, but from all the things people say about them, I was expecting a lot worse than what I heard.

I don't think that "Raise my head..." line qualifies as a conscious similarity (this is one of the biggest moments on the album, the first and the only time the main melody is put into words, I don't think they were consciously using anything as an inspiration), but I definitely remember that Home-like riff you're talking about.

Ha, perhaps not. Of course there's no similarity in melody to Eyes of a Stranger, but I was already on the alert for similarities and saw that line.

Glad to hear I'm not crazy about the Home riff.

I hear it. You are not alone  :biggrin:
Great album though. Just a shame the 'acting isn't up to the same standards.

i can definitely see why these guys are playing with leprous and earthside. they have the sorta weirdness and vocal stylings of the former and the djenty feel and orchestrated style of the latter, but don't really sound much like either specifically

wouldn't say this is boring necessarily, but it doesn't really do much for me at all. it's just too focused on being technical and fails to really grab me in any way

had this on in the background doing something else but kinda noticed... it's not very diverse.
and when you have 17 tracks on your album, it should at least be a bit more diverse.
listened to like 10-11 tracks then skipped to the last one, the last track was interesting i suppose, pretty different
dunno if i'd pick up this album though :/

I checked it out once or twice I think. It's a bit samey and I feel like they stuffed in too many tracks on the album, but it's still a sound I like so I'm enjoying. The second NM song you sent Parama was really good as well.

It's very much the Aussie pub rock sound...........if an average AC/DC record appeals then it's worth a listen.  I can't see myself returning to it often (if at all) but I'm not skipping tracks either.  Solid album ( 80% rating) , but that's about it.

Very well produced too btw.

What did you think?

I thought it was interesting. I've never listened to a note of his music, though I have watched a couple of live videos on YT.
I had Spotify open the other day, so I thought I'd dial it up.
It was listenable for sure. Each track seemed to have a similar vibe, it's no wonder why it's titled Transcendence.

I thought the drumming was excellent. Pretty sure not all of his albums sound like this, right? Not sure when I'd ever listen to it again, though.

I agree about the vibe.  Also, I can only take that wall of sound thing in small doses.  Hearing it for a whole album is mind-numbing.

Duncan Patterson's other band (played bass and keys for Anathema 91-98). This is like if Anathema circa Alternative 4/Judgement removed all the electric guitars and added some electronics and female vocals, with the same production. I wouldn't mind that last part, had this album not been released on 2002...

Pretty good. Only one or two bad/skipable songs (Poison In Your Veins Twilight and Island of Fools kinda bored/annoyed me personally) but maybe they are growers. Overall you won't be disappointed if you were a fan of some of the heavier stuff AB has done. Full writeup coming soon probably in the Groove Train thread but I have only listened to it once now and all I can say is there is a few really good songs (This Side of Fate, Crows on a Wire, The Other Side and (the ending of) the title-track) but none are nearly as good as Blackbird for instance.

Also agreeing with the general consensus of it being slightly too long, shoulda kept it to 60 minutes, but I'm pretty happy with this release so far.

maybe a bit pretentious to say but i feel like this is what death metal is supposed to sound like?
i mean, i dunno if i like it even still.
they have some interesting ideas and a solid sound overall, but
...this ends up feeling pretty samey a lot of the time, aside from the classical track.
the few quieter moments in the other songs are pretty nice though.
i like the bass presence here.
i'd probably get into this more on relistens.

devin: this is a fine enough album, but it's really not breaking any new ground. failure is probably the best cut here, though i like the title track and the last two a fair bit as well (and yeah i know it's a cover but the long ambient outro is great too). he needs to stop, though. this doesn't feel as fresh as even sky blue, which wasn't even that fresh to begin with.
elder: i just. dig their sound. all five tracks have a pretty similar vibe to them but it's all the colorful guitar work and grooves that keep me interested in this. it's the kind of music i'd love to pick apart and find out how all the pieces work. doesn't hit me as hard as thank you scientist (which is in a similar vein) but i still like this
eluvium: the closer track on here is phenomenal and the rest of the album is pretty solid on the whole as well. looks like he found this one synth voice he really liked and there's a lot of it throughout, but mostly this is the keyboard heavy counterpart to talk amongst the trees' guitar drone ambience, and i like both a lot.

Yeah I had the first reaction to Lore when I heard it. I probably like Dead Roots Rising a bit more than this album but the best song of both records is on Lore which is obviously Compendium.

And I guess I'll keep my Transcendance thoughts to The Groove Train

Catching up on a few 2016 releases.

Volbeat is just standard Volbeat to be honest. It sounds like all their other albums, but it's good fun. I totally burnt out on these guys and haven't really listened to them in over a year.

Didn't even realize it until today, but Goat released a new album on Friday, Requiem. Anyone else heard of them? Hard to classify them, but they are experimental--world music, with some 70s Prog, world fusion. Interesting for sure, but they have some catchy tunes, not lyrically, but musically

So I'm listening to Goat's Requiem

i need to check out more stoner metal i guess.

this was alright. maybe a bit too fun for me ('cause i'm depressing) but, solid. dunno if i'd listen to it again. the fourth track or so was pretty good.

Love a bit or Orange Goblin  :metal

Having put it off since it came out, I finally listened to this today.

(https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/lyricwiki/images/d/d1/Anathema_-_We're_Here_Because_We're_Here.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100425182902)

Yeah, it's pretty good. Pretty much the opposite of what I expected though.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Scorpion on October 10, 2016, 05:42:01 AM
I've tried multiple times to get into WHBWH but I just always found it super boring. Anathema don't do "bright" music (for lack of a better word) well at all, in my opinion. I understand that the band is in a different headspace than when they made albums like Eternity, Judgment and Alternative 4 and they should definitely put out the music that they want to put out, but I don't think that Anathema have ever sounded more boring.

Sorry, no. Weather Systems exists, I forgot about that. Really, everyone should - blandness to the tenth power.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Tomislav95 on October 10, 2016, 06:02:02 AM
I think WHBWH and Weather Systems are much better than anything they made before, save Judgement and Alternative 4.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Fluffy Lothario on October 10, 2016, 07:36:12 AM
To be clear, I've liked Anathema since Judgement and A Fine Day to Exit (title?). But I was never the hugest fan. Judgement was pretty awesome as an album, but of the others I heard, Alternative 4, Beach Suicide and Guy in Boat on Tiny Pond, there were only two or three songs on each that really struck me as great. When WHWBWHWHWBW came out, I just didn't get around to it (and in turn just left all the others after it alone).

For whatever reason, I had the impression that on this album, they went all blissy and atmospheric like, kind of semi-ambient for the most part. It actually seemed pretty loud the whole way. Not like ROCK OUT shit, but I was listening to it lying down with a headache, and it was noticeable how different a listen I got than what I was expecting.

I'm not gonna say it was amazing or mediocre or whatever, because it was just first listen, but it seemed at least good. And the songwriting seemed at least more consistent across the album than any of the previous ones other than maybe Judgement.
Title: Mmmnn
Post by: Sacul on October 10, 2016, 08:33:40 AM
Ye WHBWH is awesome, and although WS ain't much different from it, I personally feel it's a refinement and perfection of that sound. Their last record is also great.

I really like this album and, although the only other album of theirs I've heard is Bilateral, I love the direction they have gone. I'm really savouring this band and will pick up another album of theirs soon.

However, there is something about the first track on this album that I don't like. It's something about the repetitive vocals that just turns me off. They use similar vocals at other times on the album but it works for me on those occasions.

I'll be seeing them in March so I will certainly have listened to everything by then.

nope. i'm done. it's plainly apparent to me that these guys just aren't for me. can't force it. i mean there are like, small bits i like here and there but this just sounds monotonous to me. it's technical music but with no real point and the technical stuff doesn't even sound cool either. it's just polyrhythms and stuff. like, whoopee. there's barely any sense of groove and 90% of the higher octave noises in these songs are dissonant noodling that, well, it creates "a feel" but having the same feel pop up in nearly every track just makes it lose its power really quick. there's occasionally some decent atmosphere too but nothign to write home about and it's plainly not the focus. i just. don't get the appeal. oh well. i tried. time to go check out stuff i might actually enjoy again

Well, to contrast:

The last time I remember being this into a metal album was Machine Head's The Blackening. That makes this the first really noteworthy metal album for me for almost ten years.

i think i've made myself accidentally really want one of these, but i don't know which.
1. both cheap as heck on amazon and import cds
2. both pretty cool
3. both have their pros and cons; bass is better on the first, guitar better on the second, overall sound quality better on the second but drums way better sounding on the first, a bit more to the latter but that could mean less tightness (and probably does). at this rate i might get both eventually e.e

pretest is probably one of my least favorite purchases this year but it seems like these guys have time to redeem themselves yet, since i dig this quite a bit

didn't listen to all of it though but. it's just. crazy technical stuff in an interesting way. guitar, drums, bass. doing whatever, not giving a damn about what you think.

i've also been listening to el drugstore - plague ship a lot recently, which hits a lot of the same notes, though that's more focused on achieving the maximum amount of dissonance, whereas this has a bit more groove and atmosphere to it (but only a bit)

What's what you like the most in your metal?
I think of the metal I like as the "mid-ground".

I don't like power / symphonic type stuff. Even Iron Maiden is too far in that direction for me. And the vast majority of prog metal. The whole operatic-inclined vocal style of this kind of stuff isn't for me. (DT are a glaring anomaly and a case of lucky timing).

And I don't like anything that goes too far over into extreme metal, though some of my favourite stuff gets very close to it, but remains palatable based on some catch. But generally speaking, death vocals, black metal vocals, or "I can't do anything like singing, so I'll just scream every single word monotonously" vocals (mathcore/metalcore?) won't go down well.

I generally enjoy a mix of the stuff in between, metal bands where people actually sing, or aren't overly harsh. I liked some thrash, some groove metal, some nu-metal, alt-metal. These days, I really like stoner and sludge type stuff. In my experience though, those subgenres are all gone, or have been treading water since the early 2000s.

To be honest, I think the "mid-ground" I'm describing doesn't exist anymore, or if it does, I can't see it. After about 2005, the bands that might have fit in it became either more power/classic metal-leaning, or brought aspects of more extreme metal into their sound, too much for my taste in both cases.

Have you tried bands like Baroness?

I'd also suggest:

Barn Burner
Clutch
Volbeat


Good chance you've heard them but I know nothing about the bands you like.

Cool, I'll remember that when I look into Clutch.

I guess either. I have liked the occasional metal album in the last ten years, but nothing springs to mind as a brilliant album. And there is practically nothing by new bands I care for at all.

Some straigforward (kinda) metal I can think of:
Riverside - Anno Domini High Definition
Alter Bridge - Fortress or Blackbird
Destiny Potato - Lun
OSI - Blood
Orphaned Land - All is One

Some stuff that leans more towards the experimental:
David Maxim Micic - Bilo 3.0 (you really have to check this one)
The Angelic Process - Weighing Souls With Sand
Obsidian Kingdom - A Year With No Summer
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Pandoras Piñata
Obsidian Kingdom - Mantiis

Also not a recent album but you should definitely check Nine Inch Nails' The Fragile, fantastic album.

dysrhythmia - pretest

there's some decent tracks in the first half (bastard, and just go, heat sink) but the rest of the upbeat tracks range from "ehh" to "awful" (my relationship is gaaarbage)
and the two slower atmospheric tracks have barely any atmosphere and are just so booorriiiing
it's not like the worst album ever but after the first 20 minutes I lose all interest in the rest

I've checked out about half of those albums at one point or another. I'll listen through them all (again) though and see what happens.

I actually bought The Fragile some time ago, and had The Downward Spiral as well. Both were okay, but I rarely sought them out, and when I did put them on, I found myself looking for something else to listen to after four or five songs.

Burn My Eyes is more or less my favourite metal album. It perfectly captures what I'm describing when I talk about the mid-ground.

I checked out a few songs from Fear. Don't remember listening to anything from The Incident.

Working on my list, some albums from the past 24 hours or so:

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7d/BlurParklife.jpg)
Never properly checked this out til now. It was good, but a bit light and fluffy and sugary. Gonna give it another chance though.

Musically very cool, never heard punk sounding so varied and structurally interesting, but way too screamy.

(https://cdn3.pitchfork.com/albums/9869/homepage_large.ef0e5bee.jpg)
Really wanted to like this, as one of my favourite bands is good friends and inspired by these guys, but it gets very samey after a few songs.

making a decision between these two, and, i think their more recent one just seems better in general. there's more synergy between the instruments, a bit more breathing room, more atmosphere. the only thing it has less of is... runtime

but for something like this 35 minutes might be a better runtime than 45 tbh, so

vaguely related but much less compelling. instead of instrumental synergy it seems like everything goes off in its own direction, with guitars especially just being noodly and shreddy to a rather pointless degree

i mean, it's not awful, it's listenable, but it's not that compelling

Both for the first time! So much Jørn Lande and Bob Catley... Not that that's a bad thing!

And thank God there's a mention of computers on this Ayreon album.

Yeah, but I was worried! I mean, there were computer songs on the first three albums, but the next three after that don't have any computer songs! So I was so glad to find out that there are computer lyrics here and that there's a full-on song about computers called "Web of Lies."

Edit: Just got to Derek Sherinian's solo. I could recognize his playing a mile away. So great.

Solstafir are quite roughshod, their vocalist is all over the place, but it works for me for some reason. It juxtaposes with the whole majestic post-rock sound in an interesting way.

Half way through and I'm not minding this at all, but I don't like how regressive it sounds. I loved the direction they took for In Rolling Waves but this new one sounds a lot more like Passive Me, Aggressive You - with it being much too similar at times. I can see this being somewhat of a grower but I'm still disappointed that they made this instead of making a true follow-up to In Rolling Waves, moving forward from that style instead of going backwards.

tried giving this one a spin myself but.

what's this awful electronic track doing here.

why does surrogate fade out in the middle only to just abruptly cut back in

i don't really like the singer's voice in general but there's barely even any vocal melody here it feels like

i don't understand the appeal of mathcore

This might seriously be the greatest live album I've ever heard. It even rivals Metallica's S&M!!

On first notice, not nearly as good as AYKM?N but I'm still very happy with this, seems like it could be a huge grower.

One standout song in particular is "Not Everything Is Said", it's one of my favorite songs of theirs right now.

So Parama-style I'll start giving my thoughts on every album I post here, so...

The Slip: Good NIN album, feels like With Teeth part 2 at times, but with more of the distortion of Year Zero.
Hail to the Thief: Probably a bit too long, but it's tied with their last one as my 2nd fav of their albums.
Love in the Time of Science: Very nice dream pop/art pop with some trip-hop and alt rock leanings. Very atmospheric and lovely. Voice similar to Bjork except better :P
Music to Make Love to...: Yeah this is basically sex music :lol Dunno how serious this project was, but Mike Patton doing trip-hop-ish erotic music is actually good. Nice female vocals, I dig the beats quite a bit.

even moreso than the synergy between the instruments, i think this works because of the production. it's organic and warm, as opposed to the stiff robotic production a lot of technical metal tries to use. the end result is that this album has - gasp - atmosphere, and that just makes it a lot more interesting to listen to

but also because these guys just play off each other really well. there's no "prominent instrument" here, the guitar, drums, and bass all play about an equal role in every track and it's great

pretest still blows though lol so they're only 1 for 2

Haven't listened to the live stuff yet, but taking the studio disc as an album on its own, you can see why they felt the need to tack something else on to it. The first two Cream albums have some average stuff, but there's enough great stuff and the albums are structured in a way that they flow nicely and hold up as great albums. This is a real mixed bag, some great, some good, and some pretty poor songs, with no real sense of direction as an album. You can hear that the band were almost out of ideas and just biding their time.

I'm having trouble getting into the new Mono tbh. It's not bad, but it feels very safe and the title track is pretty meandering. We'll see how I view it after having seen them live next Thursday I guess.

It just feels rather pedestrian after the brilliance of Rays of Darkness in my opinion, that's all. That album is everything that I want heavier, more intense Mono to be, and Requiem for Hell just kinda feels meh in comparison to that.

ironically the biggest problem this album seems to have is that it is actually pretty formless. both the songs and the album itself don't have any real arc to them, they just go on and then end. it's like they know how to write cool music, but not really how to write a song.

that being said the music here is solid. a lot of nice guitar and bass work and some solid drums too but the snare sound is total trash and i don't know why they went with that

i only bought this because it was kinda cheap tbh which is how i've made a lot of my worse decisions this year, i should stop
but like i don't hate this but i doubt i'll ever love it either

if this was just a gimmick album it probably wouldn't work but a lot of the tunes here are also pretty cool and prooobably wouldn't work as well if it was just guitar instead of sax

so yeah, i'm pretty on board with this, hopefully the appeal doesn't wear off on relistens though

This has been one of the nicest surprises of the year for me. I am loving this album so much and it is likely to make my top 5 of the year.

It doesn't reinvent the wheel but it sounds like the Blink I know and love. It's weird, a lot of the songs have a really familiar feel to them but it still feels fresh to me. I think the inclusion of Matt Skiba is probably what does it for me. I mean, I've always loved Alkaline Trio but when I heard Matt was going to be replacing Tom after he left I didn't think it would work.

Part of me thinks it's weird that these are guys in their 40's singing songs that wouldn't sound out of place on Blinks earlier albums. I guess I was worried it would all feel forced, but to me it really doesn't. I don't expect to find a ton of Blink fans on DTF but this great, it's just a fun record.

I concur.

Top 5 all time for me ............and the opening lines on the album are just as relevant today   :-\

Terrestrials: Very interesting collaboration between Ulver and Sunn O))), quite atmospheric and layered. Solid.
Signs Reign Rebuilder: This is the closest I've found to GYBE!'s debut, quite interesting side project of theirs.
Silent Hill 2 OST: Yeah I love this one, it has quickly become one of my favorite soundtracks.
Year Zero: One of NIN's heaviest record, with a very distorted, modern electronic flavour, different from their industrial stuff. Also a concept album. Solid.

Wild Opera: Wilson's former band, going into more experimental territories, expanding their nice trip-hop/dance sound. Very nice.
Giles Corey: I wonder why this record has 3 (https://antigravitybunny.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/giles-corey-album-cover.jpg) different (https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/I have just violated forum rule #1--please ban memusic/images/f/f6/Cover2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130220213557) covers (https://s3.amazonaws.com/delivery.midheaven.com/s/136009/images/723175699250_main.jpg) - not complaining tho, they're all awesome.

everything about this sounds a bit rough around the edges tbh. i kinda dig the vocals at times but in general the sound of the vocals is a bit offputting, and the production just feels a bit weak/muddy all-around, hard to find moments with any real pwoer behind them. the album is a bit all over the place too which makes it kind of interesting but also kind of hard to follow. i may give it a second listen though but i'm not sold on it yet.

Geisterfaust: Bohren at their slowest, droniest. Like one song is literally 10 mins of slow keyboard chords, and the sax only appears for the last 3 mins of the last song. Kinda interesting, kinda boring at the same time.
The Slip: Very interesting record, feels like With Teeth and Year Zero had a baby.
Pink: Although most songs blur together, it's pretty consistent and interesting. But I'm still unsure if having a 18 min song closing the album that's basically noise half of it was a good idea.
Music to Make Love...: The concept of this one is so ridiculous and cringe ("I'm a man", "I'm a virgin") - it even has a "I can't live with a man I don't respect" sample  :lol I wonder how much of it is parody. The beats and production are excellent tho.
Soundtracks for the Blind: After lots of listens I'm convinced I'm not that much into this record tbh - I don't dig the production nor the sounds used here. Still a very interesting album.
The Battle of Los Angeles: This might probably be my fav RATM, it's so energic and refined, and the production is astonishing. Such a banger.

also i've listened to court enough to know it ain't really gonna click. any album with moonchild is basically doomed though since that song is just a sloooog to sit through. providence at least feels more natural with its instrumentation and builds to something by the end, though it's still the weakest track on red given the two listens i've had of the album thus far

The Battle of Los Angeles: This might probably be my fav RATM, it's so energic and refined, and the production is astonishing. Such a banger.
The debut is their best. I can't say a single negative thing about it. It's basically flawless.

Having said that, BOLA is my favourite, and I also like the raw sound on it better than the clean sound on the debut. There are a few songs at the end of the album that aren't so great, but then it also has a number of songs I like better than anything on the debut.

On Red and Court: they're both great albums, but I don't hold either to the level most people do.

any album with moonchild is basically doomed though since that song is just a sloooog to sit through.
The presence of Moonchild means the other stuff is no good? I'm also not huge on Moonchild, and Epitaph isn't amazing, but the other three tracks are.

Well, actually, there's nothing else on that album like Schizoid Man. After that, there are two very quiet tracks, and two Genesis-ey tracks, so to speak.
If you want more weird jazzy Crimson songs, look up Pictures of a City, Cat Food, Lizard and The Letters. Especially those latter two.

Moonchild is just a blatant weak link. I quite like 21st Century and the closer is close behind, I Talk to the Wind kind of bores me too and Epitaph is just solid. When the album spends its middle three tracks not really impressing me, I kind of lose interest fast.

Still not quite sold on it (nor the album), but I'll definitely give Pink more listens.

Go with Red, trainy, it's groovy and guitars have much distortion it's almost metal at points. And Starless is flawless.

Just listened to the song..............possibly the first A7X song I have listened to properly ............on your recommendation.   Really liked it although many parts of the song (melody/phrasing) remind me of other songs that , for the moment , I cannot place.   Especially the start of the verses . 

Anyway- I liked it enough to check the album out.

Half way through the A7X and I really want to love it (as it has some cool , unique ideas in the music which are so sparse in a lot of new releases that I check out) but I'm not sure I'm going to make it through until the end with that voice  :-[     It was alright for a couple of songs but grating on me a bit now..hopefully he starts straining his vocal chords a bit less as we progress.

I have no idea who is supposed to have influenced them but I hear some Extreme influences here and there.

Rapid Eye Movement: Solid Riverside album, doesn't feel too different from SLS, but it's pretty enjoyable.
Love in the Time of Science: My gf hates this one because she thinks it's a Bjork copycat, but that's quite a stretch - also I prefer this to any of ther albums anyways  :lol
Demon Days: Yeah this is really awesome. Kinda weak on the last couple of tracks, but it's quite consistent and very varied. Love it.

Storm Corrosion: Never delved much on this album because how much Drag Ropes bored me, but  turns out it's quite an enjoyable record. Music both beautiful and strange.
Part the Second: Ye this is definitely better than Bath. No growls nor blast beats, just wonderful chamber instrumentation and great atmosphere. I think you'd dig this one a lot, Parama.
Saviour: Basically 90s Anathema crossed with Portishead. Although this would sound like my wet dream, this was released in 2002 and already sounds many years old and dated. And half the songs are boring, so...

And the Circus Leaves Town...: I think the word that best describes this album is: uninspired. Has neither the catchyness nor the groove nor the intensity of Welcome to Sky Valley.
Aquaria: Interesting R&B, kinda trip-hop album.
Casualties: Yeah this album is great but probably too long.

solid enough black metal but not really something i imagine myself returning to. doesn't really do anything to stand out honestly, it's just "fine"

WTF is Alligator Farm??

Checking Spotify...I see it's Paul Gilbert.

I assume he's the vocalist too? Some tasty licks for sure, but I don't think I could get through the whole thing. Last Lions is pretty smoking though.

Division Bell: A bit cheese here and there, but quite a solid PF album imo - High Hopes is amazing. So glad Gilmour performed it live last year <3
Sings Reign Rebuilder: This is the closes an album I've found to F# A# Infinity. It's mostly field recording of the band staying in an old lodge, but it has lots of very interesting musical moments.
Kid A: I think this album finally clicked with me, or is starting to do so - such a layered, textured record.

Free: Solid record, quite heavy and lots of interesting electronics.
Wild Opera: Probably No-Man's most experimental album, very trip-hop, weird, and diverse. I'd love it if the songwriting wasn't weak. Also lack of standout songs.
Campfire Headphase: Wasn't really into it last year, but for some reason decided to give it another chance, now that I have decent headphones. Holy shit, this is great. Like Kid A, this is some beautiful production and layering.

God, I played this album so much back in about '04 that I can't even really listen to it now. It is an incredible album. I should give it a go sometime to see if I can make it through it.

Well, Toxicity is just a major trip down memory lane whenever I do listen to it (rarely), I like the FTM album a fair bit but I'm not the biggest fan.

And then there's The Stage which might just crack my top 3 albums of 2016, woah, listened to it at least 10 times already

Man, I knew when listening to Angels, at some point it felt really familiar but it just hit me. The "chorus" (if you could call it that) sounds so similar to Dream Theater's Disappear!

these guys opened up for The Ocean last night and they seemed pretty cool so I picked up their EP 'cause it was cheap why not
they describe themselves as blackened death metal but beyond that i also hear a lot of post-rock influence
which is what makes this pretty solid to listen to really, it's dynamic and the heavy moments hit with more punch due to the abundance of lighter moments
yeah, kinda dig it

Just listened to this, definitely think it would go down well around these parts. Don't be put off by the terrible album artwork, here is a better description of their sound than I could give:

"Astronoid is a five-piece band from Boston, MA with influences ranging from Devin Townsend and Mew to Alcest and Cynic. Their first full length album, being released by Blood Music in 2016, is part of an evolving experience that complements their two acclaimed EPs from 2012-13, Stargazer and November. The driving rhythms, subtle time signatures and soaring vocal harmonies combine to create an auditory cloud to lift you into the ether. There’s always something new to discover hidden within the dense layers of thrashy guitar riffs and euphoric vocals. Lyrically, the record conveys a disillusioned and hopeful view of the world as a whole.

It's free on their Bandcamp page too:

Sings Reign Rebuilder: If you listened to F#A#Infinity and thought "but what if we go FURTHER?" then this album answers that question.
Wild Opera: Well, this is definitely No-Man's most experimental, weirdest album. Yet I think the songwriting here is quite weak, as most songs aren't really memorable tbh. Still a solid album.

Silent Hill 3: So finished the game last week and decided to delve into the soundtrack - damn, this is pure trip-hop. Not complaining tho, these tracks are great. It kinda lacks the variety of the previous Silent Hill OST, but this is very good anyways - Mary Elizabeth McGlinn has a fantastic voice, I love it  :heart
Music Has the Right to Children: Listened to this one mostly out of curiosity (their sound still hasn't totally clicked with me) since it's quite an iconic record, and being honest, it's kinda boring. Hope it grows on me tho.

Really enjoyed this, there's not too much that stand out but the overall sound is just really pleasant to listen too. I do love it when the singers screams out at some parts.
It is a grower. At least it was for me :tup

Free: Definitely more electronic than their debut, but not as good as that one or Blood.
Electric Lady: This was... ok? Felt like it was the same 2-3 songs all over the album.
Ki: Ok, I think this one is finally starting to grow on me. Curious to see how this goes.

Frances the Mute: Well, not a big TMV fan so first time listening to this one, and I enjoyed it quite a bit - liked the huge variety of sounds and styles here.
Damnation: Still my fav Opeth album, by fucking far.
Jane Doe: This album is probably too intense as a whole, but it's such an absolute emotional catharsis. I really love the band's philosophy on anger as something to channel constructive, beautiful things. Also dar guitar tone is amazing  :heart

It's certainly in the style of Rainbow/Alcatrazz/Schenker. Guitarists is ok but not a patch on the previous ones he's played with, but not many are. His voice is excellent to say he is nearly 70.

anciients: yeah, this is just an improvement on heart of oak in every way. more intensity, more cohesive songwriting, generally just better songs. ibex eye is probably the best thing they've done up to this point but the first three songs here are all great too. the last few tracks don't stand out as much but it's all good stuff and i look forward to relistening to this a ton
dysrhythmia: i basically got this because of my obsession with el drugstore lately and while they're comparable in some ways i do find this inferior. mostly for one reason. there's not really any hooks here. plague ship has tons of these little hooks, generally a few per track, that make relistening to it a blast and almost a necessity with how they get lodged in your head. this is missing that. but that being said it's still a good listen and one that feels like it needs more listens to open up. internal / eternal and when whens end are the two standouts right now but i really feel i'm missing something with the three tracks between them
novembre: i kind of expected this but. this album is a bit samey to the point where a lot of the songs fail to stand out. australis stands out for being the opener, and i already knew umana so it stands out by default. easter has a break in the middle that's the most obnoxious thing so it stands out, and oceans of afternoons has that sax bit to stand out. and agathae is fantastic and train is absolutely wrong about it, best song on the album easily, love the way it builds from this folky track to an intense metal freakout by the end doing so slowly enough to feel cohesive as it does. i couldn't tell you what any of the other tracks sound like and i wouldn't be able to tell you what most of the songs i did mention sound like, but it's still an alright album.

all three of these feel like they need more listens tbh which i will continue giving them

Music to... yeah :lol : I mean this is basically chick-fucking music, but dunno how serious it actually is - with bae we tried making out to Sex (I'm A), and we just ended up laughing cuz it's too ridiculous  :rollin But the beats are dope.
Catch Without Arms: Finally listening to this one! I love El Cielo so was curious about this record, and I can see it's quite more direct and... commercial? Not really, but it's not as weird as the other record. I like it.

The Slip: Yup, solid record. First half has some great bangers, the other one some interesting ambient pieces. I think the best part of it all is that Trent gave away this album for free, back in 2008.
Terrestrials: Interesting drone collab by Ulver and Sunn O))), very textured and detailed. Kinda boring at times tho, but it has some sax so whatever.

Neal Morse Band - Similitude of a Dream

Been listening a few times to The Similitude of a Dream by Neal Morse Band this weekend and this morning.

It"s a really good album but for me it does not really live up to the hype.

1. I can't really get into the concept (it's ok but too religious for me)
2. Couple of songs I don't like and might want to skip

The many songs thatare good are excellent though and it would make a stellar one disc (might want to do a one disk version)

There have been two good double disc concept albums this year one is Astonishing and the other is really good but not as good.

Love in the Time of Science: Pretty nice atmospheric pop album. Isn't very innovative or anything, but very enjoyable.
Part the Second: Definitely my favourite MotW album, very chill and atmospheric, no growls or blastbeats at all. Even some mathy rock guitar playing, which i'm not fond of, but overall it's a nice album.

Aquaria: Industrial R&B? Solid album, but kinda forgettable.
Pink: Yeah this album is great - I'm blown away at how many styles and sounds the band delivers mantaining the same lineup and instruments. These damn japanese. Also listening to the second album of the deluxe edition, very good!

best described as "an album that happens"
maybe it will grow on me with relistens? but there's just nothing noteworthy about this album even if it's all kind of solid, it doesn't provide me with anything i can't get better elsewhere

So I wasn't a Helloween fan back in the day. I heard a few singles and wrote them off as a Maiden clone with an annoying singer  :omg:, at a time I was losing the love for the real Maiden.
Now when I went back and had a listen properly a few years ago, I enjoy them a lot, especially the Keepers albums and Dark Ride.
I knew from back in the day that this album was pretty universally slated but when I played it I really liked it.

cobalt: i got basically what i expect which was some rockin' black/sludge metal. i dunno if this is better than slow forever. probably since it doesn't go on quite as long? i still have gin to listen to anyways and i'm excited for it 'cause this is good
gorguts: the first track and the last two tracks i like a lot and the orchestral piece in the middle is cool too but the rest of this is leaving me a bit cold atm. it all blends together a bit too much i guess. but damn that opener and that closer, both awesome
insomnium: i don't know what to say about this beyond "it's really solid and pleasant and i enjoy it". it's not particularly unique and it's not something i really jam to but i enjoy listening to it regardless, good stuff

Free: Kevin and Jim Matheos go a bit more electronic than the first OSI, trying to get a more unique sound (their debut sounded a bit to Porcupine Tree). And they kinda succeed, but half of this is unmemorable so...

Geisterfaust: Bohren at their most hipster slowest, droniest. Interesting album, but wished the sax had more presence here.
Super Mario Galaxy OST: It's been a while since I last listened to it, and some tracks aren't so good outside their original context, plus a few songs a bit cheesy. Still an excellent record.

this album is... uhh. for one it feels really incohesive. the first four tracks alone, we get: a standard prog rock song, an adrenaline mob b-side, a funk rock track, and a ballad.
and the general sound of the album... is very pleasant, very unchallenging.
which i just don't care for. it doesn't feel like they're pushing any boundaries anywhere, just making music that fits the mold of the genre they're in. or whatever genre they're trying to play. it changes.
the constant here is that this is all very poppy and straightforward, though. cosmic symphony already gave me that vibe on its own, it's basically a poppy prog rock song followed by a singer-songwriter ballad (which is to say it's two songs on its own) but pretty much all the other tracks fit that mold. sure they show off a bit but the songs feel very basic and underwritten.
listening to king crimson's red has really made me appreciate how challenging and off-kilter they were for the time, and that album is still kind of its own thing even by today's standards. it definitely pushed the genre forward though. that's just what this album is missing. any reason to exist.

of course, i only listened to this once, but it made me think a lot despite being very unmemorable

Basically my thoughts on that album, and I really loved the previous one they made, which was just pop/hard/alt rock music with no prog at all (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcTq19j69Io). It sounded so fresh and unpretentious to me, and Second Nature just disappointed me very hard  :'(

This really is a grower IMO. I always considered Little Man their best, but more recently I have given that title to Variations on a Dream. Pineapple Thief at their best back in the day before the decline, sadly the last 3-4 albums haven't been that good.

After Forever - s/t
I listen to this album about once every 3 or 4 months and always enjoy it. A few hours later though I can't remember anything from it.

Angel Witch - s/t (25th Anniversary Extended Edition)
NWOBHM classic! I can remember having the vinyl copy of this album in my hands and listening to it on headphones in one of the listening booths that were in the music store back in 1981 (Andromeda music, Adelaide SA for anyone who's been to Adelaide. Terrific record shop - I spent hours browsing there in 1981/2) Don't remember what I ended up buying, but it wan't this :facepalm:
Finally ended up buying this CD 3 or 4 years back. Wish there would be more reissues of some of those early NWOBHM artists. Almost impossible to find Diamond Head, Tygers of Pan Tang, Praying Mantis, Vardis etc here in Australia.

I am basically the same Tim - doom = no room (in my collection)  :D

Not my normal cup of tea at all - it's a mix of gothic, doom , atmospheric/ambient with whispery female vocals.............all anathema to me (I'm on a roll)


All I will say is that I'm currently half way through and it's about as interesting as this sort of music gets for me.  Might get a rating in the 80's - it all gets a bit "samey" and I'd need to be in the mood.

My interest was piqued (you're about the only person I have ever seen spell that correctly  :tup ) not only by the deluge of great reviews but also the story of the singer sadly passing away just before release.

both the drum sound and drum mixing on this is awful and the end result is that the drums overwhelm everything while also sounding like crap
the album also comes off as pretty monotonous and it'd be nice if there was some degree of melody here

I'll let you know when I'm finished. :lol  The first song (well the first song after the music intro) is exceedingly catchy. It does remind me of their last couple of releases, but I'll give it a couple of more listens before ultimately deciding how I feel about it.

came back and listened to this one properly and it's actually pretty cool. a lot rougher and more intense than other intronaut stuff but i dig it. honestly their latest album feels closest to this one, just more refined

and tbh not mixed as well, bass being too low is my biggest complaint with the direction of last things but it's good here

pretty solid DT-style metal. but it's way too long. i sort of tuned out after the fourth track and didn't really tune back in until the last track tbh. the first and last track feel like the best tracks but the second track was pretty good too. fourth track was maybe a bit too weird and out there but it was alright enough. would need further listens to dissect this and it'll probably be one of the ones i revisit before deciding whether or not i want to get it but it's solid

Awesome that you checked that album out Train! I think you might really like Takk... and Ágætis byrjun too. Kveikur is really good in my opinion too, it's got a bit more electronic and ambient influences but lacks some of the awesome build ups from their earlier albums.

I had to check this out, it's really beautiful  :angel: Some tracks feel a little samey or not too interesting but overall I did really enjoy listening to this. His voice is just so soothing.

king crimson: it's a bit of an immediate album that loses its luster after a pretty small number of listens but it's still pretty solid, way more interesting than other prog rock around the time tbh. providence is kinda lame though
spectral lore: oh man. talk about a diverse and compelling release. i think i prefer the second disc, the last two tracks are my favorite on the entire album, but the whole thing is really quite solid and goes by a lot faster than you'd expect a nearly 90 minute album to. even the tracks that aren't as interesting are still plenty enjoyable to listen to. i don't *love* love this (yet) but it's one of the better BM releases I've checked out this year for sure
thy catafalque: was a little hard on this at first, giving it more listens and it's really pretty solid. not the best thy catafalque album but i probably like it more than at least tuno. and it's a weird sort of meta-album in that there's a lot of reprises of stuff from previous albums but done in an interesting enough way and alongside a lot of new stuff too to not just be a complete retread. the 20 minute song is a bit meh though, tbh

This is pretty pleasant and nice, but just... ok. Most tracks sound too similar, and it's not even a sound I'm in love with. I guess I prefer The Campfire Headphase, sounds better with those added guitars.

While not the best Chastain album, Mystery Of Illusion is pure innocent magic, but I can understand that the voice of Leather isn't everybodies cup of tea. Voice Of The Cult is the album they lost me.

I don't know if Leatherwolf still exist, but I'd be ready for a new album. World Asylum from 2006 wasn't too bad.

hmm this is... interesting. definitely doing its own thing. not sure i'm a fan of the vocals and i'm surprised at how much of this is instrumental but it's diverse enough to work.
also the last track is really damn good, whoa
yay

Yeah I remember not liking the production of that one, but that was like 3 years ago before zancul developed so might give it another chance :corn


Btw, there are two versions of that album - the original, which was self-founded and sounds like arse, and the rerecorded one, which sounds a bit better, and it's probably the one on importcds.


You'd also like their other record the ychtochologist or something. They're all pretentious concept albums, and my friend is obsessed with this group :P

Listened to this one since I've been meaning to since forever, also it's one of bae's fav albums so why not. This is certainly... Eh... ambient? but also very experimental and atmospheric... and slow. I like it. Also the singer sounds a bit like SW :lol
This will be one of the last batch of new albums I'll get to listen to before closing my retrospective list - so I have time to digest them.

I haven't listened to that one yet, but the one before it, Spirit of Eden, is really good. It's probably the album I've listened to the most from my recent haul of albums. Despite its flaws, it has a really nice vibe.

In recent times, I've been playing

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
Swans - Children of God
Jeff Buckley's Glastonbury set  (https://blonderazorblade.blogspot.jp/2016/03/jeff-buckley-live-at-glastonbury.html)
Bob Dylan gigs from 1963
Joan Baez - Gulf Winds
Nina Simone - High Priestess of Soul
Solstafir - Svartir Sandar
Portishead - Dummy

Post by: Sacul on December 02, 2016, 08:47:45 PM

I definitely aprove of this :P

With Talk Talk, I'm not overly fond of the singer, and I find it almost impossible to understand what he's saying. But the music is pretty amazing, so it gets a pass.

With Portishead... I'm really not a fan of the scratching, though it's not overused, and only really degrades the song on one or two tracks. I've also fallen out with electronic drumbeats in recent times, they just irk me lately. Despite both of those things though, I'm somehow listening to the album the most at the moment since I first bought it and tried it out about a year ago, and quite liking it.

brain tentacles: okay maybe not an album that really holds up well on relistens. honestly just feels a bit underwritten, these would be very unremarkable tracks without the gimmick. the second half gets a bit more interesting at least, with both the heaviest and most relaxed songs mixed together. it's ok.
dissona: okay wow this was a lucky good find. this is like everything i wanted native construct to be. a bit more serious but still loose enough to be a bit weird, technical but not overly showoffy, heavy when they need to be and mellow at other points, a decent emotional weight. at first i was feeling the back half was a bit weak but i think it's really just the closer, which probably should've been a bit shorter. hard to support the weight of the two tracks before it too since they both rule
wilderun: yeeeaaah easily a great album. love the folky vibe, love the intensity and love the beauty of it. the garden of fire and the means to preserve are both fantastic and everything else is varying levels of great. wouldn't yet say it's something i really love listening to but i definitely see myself revisiting this quite often

I think you'd like their last album more, it's certainly very experimental and actually closer to krautrock, if that sounds appealing :P

I've been ridiculously busy with life ever since the beginning of July, so I haven't had any time to dedicate to either finding new music, or listening to knew releases. Recently though I made a playlist of every album released this year that I want to check out, and I've made a conscious effort in the last few weeks, at work, and over Thanksgiving break to listen through what I could. I've found some really, really great albums.

Currently spinning:
(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0144143476_10.jpg) (https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Press_Cover_01.jpg) (https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3285444780_10.jpg) (https://volaband.com/images/inmazes_site/inmazes_artwork.jpg) (https://www.metal-archives.com/images/5/7/2/3/572304.jpg?3619) (https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/AnciientsArtwork.jpg) (https://new-transcendence.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Artifex-Pereo-Passengers-Album-Art-2016.jpg) (https://loudwire.com/files/2016/10/91A-P5-zn7L._SL1500_.jpg)
And plenty of others. But the albums above are my favorites aside from the obvious Haken/Thank You Scientist/Periphery releases.




On a side note, I stumbled across (https://hardrockhaven.net/online/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Paralydium-350x350.jpg) a couple days ago. Great stuff. Really hoping for a full length release soon.

a very "fine" album but i dunno. without the growls this would be a very standard prog metal album. a decent one, but. the growls really do not feel necessary or fitting. and beyond that it's like, yeah, fine enough but nothing really special.

pretty solid. the last track of the album had some interesting stuff going on and the female vocals are definitely interesting too. may have to relisten but i'm thinking i may get this one, yeah

ironically the ambient bonus track is prob my favorite on the entire thing though

Wow I rmember seeing that Dissona album and I think I even played a song or two of it but that sounds interesting. I'm currently checking out the first song and it's really solid, guess I will have to stall my 2016 list until I have digested this one. I think Evermind might dig this too :lol
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Crow on December 03, 2016, 01:44:11 AM
the first three tracks and the two tracks before the last track are my favs with the stuff in between being solid but not as strong, and the closer is okay but a bit anticlimactic, basically

i only know of these guys 'cause they opened for leprous tbh but they seemed cool and then they were cool

another one from sacul's list thing

i think this is... pretty fine, probably really good if i relistened to it a bunch but. doesn't really stand out much, it's just very pleasant the whole way through. not actually a lot of metal on this it feels like, the last 15 minutes especially i think had no metal at all (but it was still good)

will have to see. i'll consider it for now at the very least but not high on the list

Been on an 80's Oz Rock binge today:

INXS - s/t
The Triffids - Born Sandy Devotional
Hoodoo Gurus - Stoneage Romeos
Icehouse - Primitive Man
The Church - Of Skins and Hearts.

Managed to see the first 3 live at different times in the 80s. Passed up the chance to see The Church for 5 bucks at a college gig back in 1982. :facepalm: Not one of my smartest choices that year. INXS supporrting Men at Work at the Adelaide University O Ball in 1982 was a very cool gig. :hat

I'd just go straight into Act V. It's like a darker counter part to Act IV.

Or start from the beginning of the Acts. Act IV is my favourite album of theirs hands down. I'd maybe even suggest just repeated listens of this album  :heart :heart :heart

Haven't heard about this. I checked out a short clip on Youtube and it sounded like it was going more for the jazzy Toto sound rather than more straight up melodic rock (I'm too used to the Frontiers stuff these days :lol ). Any good?

i do need to get this at some point i guess but it's not really high priority. compared to the other releases i have from these guys this one just always comes off as "fine, but nothing special"

anthropocentric isn't a huge step up either tbh but it's still got enough good stuff on it. and precambrian would be great if it dropped the first disc entirely (which i just don't listen to anymore rip). and pelagial is still awesome and fantastic

Better than I expected Blob , but I wasn't expecting much :lol   Had a feeling that Bobby had fallen off the wagon again and he is almost 70yo so realistically he could be expected to struggle a bit.   Having said that he does sound great on this and it is a good record that doesn't sound like everything else.   He has gathered a good group of musicians together and the lead guitar has a very distinct Lukather vibe.   There's probably a ballad too many but the more uptempo songs do have that groove/jazziness of early Toto or Doobie Brothers (touches of Chicago at times too - plenty of brass in there).

It's a style that I need to be in the mood for these days but it's a nice listen to break things up .  I would rate it low-mid 80's.

Brian, I've been tempted to buy that Storming Detroit cd a few times.  Fantastic setlist, but I'm assuming its not official in any way or endorsed by the band, right?  Is it a good sound at least?

I'd check out Act IV and Act III. Those are the best two in my opinion. I haven't listened to any of the non-act albums but I hear they are worth it aswell.

Chroma Key - Dead Air For Radios

You like that, Paul??

I bought it back when it was released and found it not to be to my taste. I've been ill for the last few weeks and can't always tolerate the heavy stuff so I've been looking for more relaxing stuff.
But to answer your question, not really  :biggrin: but it served its purpose.

I'm impressed with it. It's nothing off the wall. Just some great melodies and catchy hooks.

Is that Mozart's Requiem K. 626? That is one of the most amazing pieces of music he ever wrote. It's hauntingly beautiful and what adds more to it is that he died before he was able to complete it.

Yes. Loved it since I saw Amadeus years ago. A great story, not sure how true it all was...

aghora: at first when i checked these guys out they didn't do much for me, then i went back and liked 'em a decent bit more, enough to pick up the album, which i found i didn't like much when i listened through it after receiving it, and now... just back to a "slightly above average" kind of feel i guess. the biggest issue is that their metal tends to be quite weak, all chug and crunch and no real power. and the vocals are very "fine". the real highlights here tend to come in a lot of the quieter moments, which actually tend to have a lot of nice guitar/bass/drum work that holds my interest a lot more. it's a bit emotionally dead though and the album certainly could serve to be shorter
a flourishing scourge: local band that's pretty interesting tbh, a bit rough around the edges but i'm not gonna criticize too hard considering this is a debut EP and it's a pretty damn solid EP. they play an interesting mix of proggy death metal and post-rock, or at least that's the sound i get from this. the third track is a bit weak/underdeveloped compared to the rest but there's a lot of nice, gorgeous quiet moments and some cool heavy grooves as well, i'd definitely be interesting in checking out a full album from these guys
neurosis: i tried. oh my god did i try. but i can pretty decisively assert at this point that neurosis is just, not for me. this album is... fine. doesn't really stand out much in either direction, it's okay post-metal at best but it's not really anything more? i think the issue is that they wallow too much in slower stuff to the point where it gets a bit monotonous. the first full track on the album has a moment halfway through where a great, energetic riff kicks in and provides some real power, and that's... the only time on the album that there's any moment like that at all, it's really quite disappointing. i think i'll just stick to panopticon and somewhere along the highway, most other straight post-metal has failed to do much for me and that's just disappointing. this was the only album these guys have that did anything for me at all checking out their stuff on youtube btw.

this was not really a great set of albums overall but nothing bad either, just a very meh feeling overall
also i'm way late on this one i try to get these out ~a week and a half after i start spinning them and it's been over 2 weeks for these oops

only know about this bcuz it's where the east of the wall bassist went to but the bass is really low on this album so wasted potential right there

The Flower Kings - Space Revolver

Glass Hammer - Chronometree.
This 2000 album is from the band that Jon Davison was vocalist with before joining Yes. He's not on this album, but it does feature Arjen Lucassen on lead guitar. I'm surprised Glass Hammer don't get mentioned more on this forum.

Grey Lady Down - Forces
1995 neo-prog. Very much in the vain of the Pallas' debut album The Sentinel and to a lesser degree, the first 2 Marillion albums (Script... and Fugazi). Don't think I've ever seen this band mentioned on this forum before. I'm sure there would be many here who would appreciate them though.

Tim, what's that one all about? Looks cool

It's a new 2016 release that I've seen favorable reviews on Bravewords and Metal Reviews.

It sounds like an old speed metal album (1981-ish) with some smooth Maiden/Lizzy style guitars.  It sounds kind of primitive tbh, but half way through I felt this big smile on my face. A big time throwback to the style of Exciter, Raven, KEA era Metallica. I think you'd like it.

it's like, kinda like alcest, but with more djent-y style cleans, and more technical? it's like, the blackgaze version of skyharbor's guiding lights

Yea I've been listening to this and Meta quite a lot recently and both albums are climbing my rankings for this year. I really dig this album but yea, that album cover??? Don't really know what they were thinking, it's terrible!!

the album cover just gives off this "bland, uninteresting" image, i dunno why, the colors i guess

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/0000232058_10.jpg)

these guys opened for the ocean and were kinda okay
this album is a bit too core-y for me though
and i noticed this thing where they get stuck in grooves for a minute at a time, but it's always some boring chuggy groove? like why
so yeah

i remember some AAL influence but that's not really here so maybe it's on their new album this year?

It actually fits the music perfectly, the album has pretty summer-y feel to it. Also, there's no such thing as djenty vocals, but "blackgaze version of Guiding Lights" is still pretty accurate ;)

yeah i do think i like this more than in a flesh aquarium, still some of the stuff that bugs me about that one but the metal here feels just better in general and it's a bit more cohesive

it's hard to pigeonhole this but I'd say it has more similarities to post-metal than anything else

and in that regard it's a much better realization of the "post-metal with female vocals" thing than Mariner imo

like this is one of the few post-metal albums that feels like it has a claim to sludginess but it's also just, really dynamic on the whole? i kinda like it, a lot

Yeah they're still trying to gain success because of that song. :lol they even put "Impulse II" on that album which had exactly the same main riff as Impulse. It's a cool and pretty iconic riff at this point but to repeat it and try to get away with the excuse of it being 'part two' is kinda.. lazy. I definitely liked Magic Machine quite s bit though, specially the Jordan Rudess features.

Still listening to Painted In Exile - The Ordeal quite a bit, crazy how I only just found out about this, so good!

Post by: Train of Naught on December 16, 2016, 01:21:38 AM
Listening back to it right now, it's actually exactly the same song but with a cleaner guitar tone (which on its own makes the main riff sound less good), different drums, and some random string/horn sections thrown in. I hate when people undeservedly throw around the term 'uninspired', but this song is the very definition of uninspired :lol

I much prefer their Back to Where You've Never Been record.  I think that one has a different drummer and singer from the album pictured. 

Also, figured I'd go on a little Spock's Beard kick today.

I just... dunno. This just doesn't do it for me. It feels way underwritten. It's like the bridge between Bilateral and The Congregation, but not as fun as the former and not as jagged as the latter. The Valley is great but that's about the only song that sticks out and even it still goes on a bit longer than it should

On Cognitive he definitely sounds more like Maynard than on Tellurian

He is now making his transition into Akerfeldt cleans, the new song sounds a lot like Tool + modern Opeth, though the instrumentation is more like Ghost Reveries Opeth. Check it out, its a great song (Sectarian).

Well, I'm not sure I do  :lol my brother has gotten me into loads of bands over the years. I remember getting a ton of music off him about 3 years ago and Xasthur were in there. I gave them a couple of listens but they never ended up on my Ipod so I guess I didn't really like them.

s'ok. doesn't really do as much for me as the other album from them i checked out but it's solid. anneke's on one of the songs. it has its moments. i'll probably revisit it at some point but i'm getting metridium fields first for sure

On my second listen of this album, wow  :omg: I think I like it even better than f#a# infinity.
Yeah, that album's not bad. And by not bad, I mean spectacular.

First listen of this. Sounds pretty bonkers. If there was more experimental metal being made in the early '90s, I don't think I've heard it.

it's kinda fun and the concept seems like it's solid but it doesn't do a ton for me either. just. fine
also the cover is an awful photoshop

probably one of the better splits i've listened to, doesn't really stand out on its own but makes for nice background music and seems pretty solid. plus it's spectral lore on half of it and that's a good start already. last track was a pretty nice ambient piece too, dug it.

i need to check out a mare cognitum album sometime...

slice the kek - odyssey to the memes

I haven't listened to this in a while so train threatened to murder me

I also realize I haven't done a post on the last three albums in my last purchase so

alcest - kodama: it's totally fine but not particularly noteworthy and doesn't have any songs as good as ecailles pt 1 or summers glory
cobalt - gin: feels like it runs out of momentum in the second half but it's still good. probably not as good as eater of birds though
elder - dead roots stirring: I think I prefer Lore since it's a bit faster paced but this album is probably more diverse, it's a good listen for sure

Been listening to a lot of Moon Hooch lately and currently have This Is Cave Music playing. For anyone not familiar it's two sax players and a drummer that originally started busking in NYC and their music is pretty much dance music but with woodwind instrumentation. Too Many Zooz seem to be the other one people know and they've actually collaborated at least once.

Some sample songs for those interested:

yeah this is better than puzzle, feels more varied and gets actually pretty heavy at times, and has decent emotional potency to it as well.
not rushing to buy it or anything but i might consider it in the future

I just wanna say that the little bit at 4:22 - 4:28 in The Most Cursed of Hands is probably the highlight of the album for me. Shame it's so short.

^ Are you familiar with Act III? That part is a reprise of one of their best songs ever (Mustard Gas), which is on that album. It's probably their most theatrical/musical-fit song ever, which isn't an easy task considering their back catalogue.

Oh wow. It's only now hit me that it's actually a reprise from that song, and I've listened to Act III quite a fair bit. I knew it was reprised in He Said He Had A Story but I didn't connect these two at all.

So far I'm the least familiar with Act II from Evicted onward. There's just so much music to digest on that album. The Bitter Suite I&II is probably my favourite TDH song so far though.

Yeah it's not an emotional rollercoaster or anything, but a very pleasant album yes. The other high rated album is probably Black Earth - my recommendation is be patient with it, it's slower and more minimalist, but also darker and heavier.

If you want some bohren with feels, maybe go with Piano Nights, but it's kinda one-dimensional imo. :P

listened to about half an hour of black earth. it's just too spacious and empty for my tastes i guess. with slower, more ambient music i really prefer stuff that has a lot more texture and density to it, like hammock and eluvium tend to, i guess

Aye, in general I tend to that as well - I guess the band's very unique style and sound kinda makes it up for me. Not an album for everyone. Maybe you'd like their last album, has its share of feels and textures. Check this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6G7lUQI3lk), that sax is heartbreaking.

this is pretty solid too but definitely inferior to lifewoven. too much of a focus on piano + the female vocals, feels like there's less of the cool instrumental chemistry as a result. still has its moments but it didn't grab me nearly as often.

so yeah gotta figure out if i can find a physical copy of lifewoven now lol rip

update: there are literally no physical copies of lifewoven atm &&&& bridging realms was on sale on their store so guess who just bought the latter
i'll get lifewoven at some point for sure though, i do like it more

also also

found Indukti - S.U.S.A.R. for a good price on ebay so I snatched that up too
now my divisible-by-three set of albums has been destroyed
and i still need to find obscure sphinx - void mother because wow i want it
which would make 20 if i got it...

maybe i'll throw in that flaming row album too just for good measure, dunno. or that primordial album.

this is pretty solid too but definitely inferior to lifewoven. too much of a focus on piano + the female vocals, feels like there's less of the cool instrumental chemistry as a result. still has its moments but it didn't grab me nearly as often.

so yeah gotta figure out if i can find a physical copy of lifewoven now lol rip
:metal I personally prefer Bridging Realms but I like Lifewoven a lot too. I wanted to get the cassette for Bridging Realms cause it looked cool as fuck but shipping is 3 times as much as the price of the product sadly. Messaged them and they said there probs won't be an EU shop until at least next year.  Also this cover is fucking gorgeous, it used to be my laptop background

Some really evoking atmospheres, not too sure about some of the goblin grunts, I might get used to them sometime...
I actually don't even like this album. I love the song I sent you and I think the one coming afterwards is passable, but I'm personally not into the album at all. Very misleading title-track :P

Keeps getting better. Can't really begin to name certain songs cause they all have something amazing in them, my favourite right now is probably Only Twin though, by a hair

It's amazing what you find sometimes in a used music store. I remember years back I wanted to buy the cd Stand Tall from Killer Dwarfs. Well if you look on Amazon, the cd can range in cost from $400-$600. I didn't want it that badly. But low and behold I found a copy in a music store for $25. Much better deal!

Seriously! We only have a few used shops around where I am these days, and most are overpriced. But every so often you find a gem for cheap. Believe it or not, as many times as I have been in Seattle, that was my only trip to Easy Street Records, and stupid me, the big Mother Love Bone fan, didn't realize on the side of the building, Jeff Ament had repainted the iconic MLB mural. Had I literally gone past the front door and looked right, it would have been there. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I didn't.  :lol Just gives me another reason to go back...  :tup

So I've finally compiled a list, on Spotify, containing all (as well as memory serves me) of the albums I've been meaning to check out over the last few years. I've sorted it alphabetically by album name and these are the most recent four I've listened to. Quite a good bunch  :tup

Coincidentally, I was actually listening to The Ocean, on my ipod, on my way home from work earlier. I'm really digging this band.

I'm sure I listened to bits of it back in 2015 and wasn't massively impressed. Listening through the whole album yesterday, I did enjoy it a lot more and am definitely going to revisit. Listening to it straight after that album by The Ocean, they are actually fairly similar, especially some of the vocals  :tup

Easily one of my all-time favourite albums :lol  maybe even my #1. The fact that I rarely listen to it has probably caused it to age so well. There are a few albums I used to consider favourites but I simply burned out on them.

Also happy to see that Transcendence held up way better this time than the first time I listened to it, it's damn solid.

Beardfish: The Void

Probably my least-listened-to of the 5-disc Beardfish box I bought last May. Beardfish goes prog metal, certainly in the first few tracks. Later on there's a bit more of the typical Beardfish sound. The 30-second Introduction is narrated by Andy Tillison of The Tangent. Rikard Sjoblom returned the favour by narrating a great passage in the Overture to The Tangent's Le Sacre du Travail.

Metal Church - Hanging in the Balance

This album is so freaking awesome!
Got a spot in my DTF Top 50 - possibly the best music relative to the album cover in history :lol    Still have my original cassette.  :metal

Had to come into work this Saturday morning and went through the last couple of pages for something new to bring up on youtube while I'm by myself and picked this one.  I'm a casual Metal Church fan and I always liked Blessing in Disguise and some of the newer stuff but never heard this one.  I'm glad I did.  Halfway through and this also is probably the best Metal Church I've heard just going by my first listen.  Good stuff.  Really good actually.

this bloody rules???

damn. i love it

i think the best part is that they don't take themselves toooo seriously (earth tomb is really goofy and some of the vocals seem to be playing up the cheese factor a little) but at the same time they're still writing this great heavy stuff and incorporating a lot of weirder elements into a cohesive whole, and it just... all works

ManOwaR - The Triumph of Steel
One of the best heavy metal albums of all time, imo.

I've been listening to mostly Fire Make Thunder and Theories of Flight lately.

Have put this on twice now (while reading), the music itself isn't that interesting but the sounds is so... intimate. Really liked the mood it created, defintely going to put this on more often.

Yep. Listening to Octahedron now and after I'm done with that, I'll have listened to the entire The Mars Volta discography :lol (The Bedlam in Goliath was yesterday though, and I didn't listen to the debut EP either)

Ranking time:

1. Frances the Mute
2. Deloused in the Comatorium
3. Amputechture
4. The Bedlam in Goliath
5. Noctourniquet
6. Octahedron

I'll admit I don't like Octahedron nearly as much as the other 5, but it's still a great album. Man I love TMV

This is awesome. I (wrongly) assumed this was going to be straight up technical death metal!! There is sax in here, Devin Townsend style operatic vocals and melodic guitar work. To the guys whose roulettes I'm participating in, prepare to get some of this soon. Can't believe a friend recommended this to me like a year ago and I'm only just getting around to it.  I'm red faced  :blush

How was the Cameron Diaz? I've seen a video or two on YouTube, looks a decent player.

Cameron Diaz goes alright - bit of an animal in bed.

Cameron Allen on the other hand was good - not essential but a few nice tracks in the Greg Howe vein.  I think you would like it.

For once that was a deliberate typo  :biggrin:

Might have a listen then.

Holy shit!!

This is awesome. I (wrongly) assumed this was going to be straight up technical death metal!! There is sax in here, Devin Townsend style operatic vocals and melodic guitar work. To the guys whose roulettes I'm participating in, prepare to get some of this soon. Can't believe a friend recommended this to me like a year ago and I'm only just getting around to it.  I'm red faced  :blush

Yep, this album is quite brilliant.

Yea, it's nice when you have preconceptions of what an album will sound like and then it completely blows you away. This was unexpected and I'll be spinning this a lot I think.

This is my first time listening to them, so maybe this album? Seems to their most popular one. Also, did you end up showing her my list (https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Saculs78/safe_from_harm__exploring_the_bristol_sound_and_beyond___/)? Just curious :P

I did tell her about the list, she didn't seem particularly enthusiastic  :lol she's happy just listening to the radio most of the time. I think it would be better for me to just play some random albums from the list every now and then. She'd probably love it more than me, she's just not desperate to discover new music like we all are  :facepalm:

She does have really good taste in music though to be fair  :heart

a progressivel/doom metal band with an emphasis on atmosphere makes their first album of the decade. it's 10 songs long, and the longest track is track #8, an instrumental track. the album runs just a few minutes over an hour.

i just described novembre - ursa

but i like this one more tbh it's heavier and darker, two things that appeal to me more

I love that Bad Moon Rising album. Wasn't it a japan only import ?
Second BMR "Blood" album is alright, but album #3 "Opium For The Masses" was really strong again. My favorite Doug Aldrich era (I don't get Dio's Killing The Dragon at all.)

I like that era too Lepprador (also the Lion albums)  but , one track aside , I thought BMR's attempt to go grungy on Opium For The Masses was typical of the 80's bands that tried it - pretty awful :lol
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Lepprador on January 15, 2017, 04:25:14 AM
Opium is a grunge album ? I havn't heard it in almost 20 years, but back in the day, that thought never crossed my mind. I just thought it has great riffs and songwriting.
You're right, classic 80s bands trying to stay relevant by going grunge were a crime to humanity. Dokken - Shadow Life comes to my mind.

Opium is a grunge album ? I havn't heard it in almost 20 years, but back in the day, that thought never crosses my mind. I just thought it has great riffs and songwriting.
You're right, classic 80s band trying to stay relevant by going grunge were a crime to humanity. Dokken - Shadow Life comes to my mind.

I did think as I typed that ......"grungy" isn't really the right word.  Maybe alternative/industrial.............I dunno the right terms , but there was a definite effort to 90's-orise their sound and to me it didn't sound like them any more.   

I was a big fan so I remember my reaction to that album quite distinctly................WTF?  :lol    The same sort of reaction that I had to FII by Dream Theater , although DT's change was a little more subtle.

Holywar is a cool track though , so I kept it.   So unlike Shotgun Messiah's Violent New Breed it didn't end up in the bin  ;D

Interesting lineup :   Steve Overland pre -FM ,  Phil Soussan pre-Ozzy , Simon Kirke (Bad Co) and produced by Mick Ralphs (Bad Co).   Sounds pretty much like you would expect based on those names.

Just finished watching The History of The EAGLES for the second time and realized that the day after tomorrow, Glenn Frey died one year ago. His death shocked me just as much as Bowies, having been a huge Eagles fan for most of my life, and I will always regret never having seen them in concert forever.
So, honoring the great Glenn Frey:

I went back and tested out a few tracks off that Sepultura album today Tim.   Was never into them back in the day but my tastes have heavied up since and so I thought it's worth a try.  Not bad but still not my cuppa tea really.  I prefer my thrash a touch more melodic (musically and vocally)

Agree on all points 100%.

I've honestly never really given Sepultura a chance based on the vocals. But LudwigVan's comment in the Sepultura thread led me to give it a listen.

The Rising Steel album is pretty cool.

For a long time I didn't know that was a Beatles song. An ex girlfriend was heavily into Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, a 70s glam band if you don't know them. They were well known in the uk for their cover. I got dragged to see them several times - they were ok I guess.

Yes, she's gorgeous, but she also has a really good voice.

Oh, and The Great Radio Controversy, one of the more underrated albums from the 80's.

Goddamn, I forgot how good this album is. This was my Friday night jam about 7-8 years ago. It's got everything needed for a perfect sing-along/air guitar/air drum session  :metal forgot how good the one-two punch of Carry Me Home/Don't Shut the Gate is.

Also, Dat Double Bass!!

Any fans of The Living End? Anyone who played the Guitar Hero games will recognise Carry Me Home as it was on #2 (I think).

aenaon: this is a pretty cool sound that i dig quite a bit, but i can't help but feel that there's... something missing. mind you this is still a pretty good album though. the use of sax and the general kind-of-but-not-extremely weird vibe of the songs is nice and the metal's pretty good. one of the vocalists who does this weird growl/talking thing can be a bit annoying at times i guess. but yeah i'll def keep spinning this at the very least
the antlers: oh goddammit why didn't i check this out sooner. this is just plain great. wake is a goddamn masterpiece of a song and two and epilogue are pretty damn great too and i wouldn't say there are really any weak tracks, though atrophy is easily my least favorite here. i know the concept is like some metaphor or something but i think i prefer to take it literally & it works great on that level anyways so, whatever, good stuff
indukti: this is like. halfway between the first three riverside albums and adhd. basically. none of the synthy industrial stuff but it's got the same jagged, riff-based feel throughout. and mariusz being present on two of the songs certainly helps that feel. i don't know if it's an album i can say stands out that much, but i can say that it's pretty good. a few too many moments of pointless downtime though

His voice reminds me quite a bit of the singer from Agent Fresco. This album, just like Felt is very pleasant to listen to while reading/studying, it creates a nice atmosphere without being too distracting.

As my most listened to genre of at least the past 6 months, it's crazy that I just found this album that blows almost all of the post-rock albums I've heard in that period of time out of the water. It's times like this that I hate how popular a band like Explosions in the Sky is, while these guys are never heard of (they have like 900 likes on facebook :P).

After you've used this thing to convert them to a forum format:

You add "width=###" after img, including a space. The one I just posted was 400, could go a little smaller but I think it's fine like that. So it'll look like:

(http://"URL of the image you are using")

It didn't show up. Just add quotes in to show the command and remove the first and last quote for it to be processed properly.

I wanted to have it be blank, I didn't actually enter an image, but it should look like this:

But without the "G" in the last "img". I had to place it there so the format would still be visible

Yea, you really should. I love pretty much all the Studio Ghibli films. I was looking in the Movies & TV forum to see if there was a Studio Ghibli thread but there doesn't seem to be one. I should probably start one  :tup

Obsolete was the first Fear Factory record I had heard,  but Demanufacture is the one I keep coming back to.  Pretty solid from start to finish.

The only other Hacride album I have is Lazarus, and I find I struggle to get into that.  I need to go back and get Amoeba.  Back to Where You've Never Been is a solid record, though.

not as colorful or diverse as III and the ambient track at the end is... a bit underwhelming, just a bit too empty really.
impossible to find any other spectral lore albums anywhere so i dunno why i'm trying anyways but, yeah, don't think i'd pick this one up regardless. i mean it's pretty solid for the most part, i'd probably relisten to the first 45 minutes again but the ambient track is just too long for too little

this is pretty solid black metal stuff but it fails to really stand out in any way for me unfortunately. dunno if i'd be willing to fork out cash for it & it's pretty rare too so... meh

Stryper - To Hell With The Devil, In God We Trust, Against The Law.  :angel: :angel: :angel:

Don't you go thinking all is now forgiven  ;D

Against The Law was my first Stryper album (more of my childhood era) and I think it's under rated.

THWTD was my first. They are all very good albums. I just don't take any notice of the lyrics, just the same as when bands sing about Satan, Odin, or any other mythical entities.  :biggrin:

Didn't you say, the other night, that this was the only Coheed album you've listened to? I hope you listen to the next two albums, in chronological order, after SSTB  :metal

Post by: jakepriest on January 27, 2017, 11:16:44 AM
SSTB is bloody fantastic. I think it might be my favourite Coheed album at this point. I just love the raw punkish-emoish vibe that the album has.

I really love SSTB as well, it's a great album which is really impressive as a debut. But favourite Coheed album? I can't say the same, they just have other albums that break my top 10 of all time so SSTB will always be lower in my Coheed ranking. Time Consumer may be a top 10 Coheed song for me though.

I was in town today, not something that happens often - it's too people-y out there :biggrin: and I briefly went into the only cd shop we have left and its crap. They had that Damned Nation album in the 3 for £5 deal so I bought it. Along with the Bill and Ted 2 soundtrack and Little Angels' Jam, both of which are to replace my cassettes.

second time listening to this and, well,

it's great tbh

i dunno how to classify this, it's listed as doom metal but that only feels kind of true? there's a lot of bluesy bits and a proggy vibe throughout & the metal feels closer to stoner metal than anything to me

but i, definitely like it, a lot
it's kind of like elder? but i think i like this more. less noodling and more emotive presence.
i might get this but i also wanna get that panzerballett album that's been a pain in the butt to get...

Tried to find something to study to but this is too good to be the background music. I remember I was listening to it a while ago after I heard Hymn to the Immortal Wind and it didn't leave a really good impression. I guess I was wrong...

this is still pretty solid though it definitely doesn't do as much for me as their latest. only listened to it because it's way cheap on importcds rn tbh

more than anything i feel there's a notable black metal influence on this release, but ironically that makes it less interesting? i dunno. it was still good that's for sure and i may pick it up later but i definitely wasn't feeling it as strongly

All solid choices. I just checked out Freefall for the first time and realized two of my favorite singers are on the album: Tony Harnell and Joe Lynn Turner. At one point I was trying to collect all of both Tony's and Joe's works. Both of them singing on TNT's Rain was like a dream come true. Now I'm in the mood for some JLT and Tony.

Well finally  :corn

When I think of the best straight up metal album of the 00's, I struggle to think of anything that can top this for me. It's their most ambitious album to date and it just nails it in every way possible for me. Every song is killer. I was obsessed with this album when it came out, like REALLY obsessed. I'd say my favourite track nowadays is probably Halo but really the best song on the album is always the one I'm listening to  :biggrin:

the hirsch effekt: this album definitely has a different feel than holon : agnosie. it's a bit less all over the place but still just as dynamic & has a focus on longer tracks for sure. there's less mathcore-y stuff though it's still there & the album is actually really bright in sound for the most part. it's... different and kinda weird but i dig it, still kind of figuring it out though
keelhaul: i think these guys would be better as an instrumental band but regardless they still have some great riffs and grooves here, though i can't say i'm quite into it yet, but i feel this is like el drugstore where it'll take time. very similar tbh, a lot of the same dissonant stuff too
primordial: this is only kind of folky on the whole, just enough to be satisfying without ever getting cheesy. and damn can they play some great grooves. really fun stuff to listen to. maybe a bit homogeneous overall but it's a good sound

So Hideous - Laurestine: Probably my favourite discovery of last year not counting 2016 albums, it is like blackened shoegaze or something, but with the most epic complementary orchestration, can't quite describe it but this album is my definition of the word 'epic' when describing music.
Toundra - III: Great album by this spanish post-rock band with some unique touches here and there. Not the best I've heard, but the song "Requiem" is one of the best things I've heard in a while.
Soen - Cognitive: The amazing singles they have released in anticipation of the new album still floor me, but this debut album is still a bit meh. Has some great songs in Fraccions, Slithering and Savia but overall not great.
The Mars Volta - Amputechture: What would a Train of Naught post be without TMV? This album has just surpassed Bedlam in Goliath and Deloused in the Comatorium in my rankings to claim the #2 spot behind Frances, it is that great and I can't believe how much I underappreciated this one until recently.

Strange Ways I go a bit hot, hot and cold on (and the chorus is mostly Gene anyway) , but yeah - Mainline is the clear weak point.

My first KISS album was Killers on release in 1982 , aged 8yo.  My first album purchase  - and I still have the cassette.

Wonder what artistic direction made them make the aorta blue in that cover art... triggers me so much as a med student  :lol
I mean they got the vena cava right... why is the rest completely flipped then color-wise?

The Alchemy Index is pretty great. I'd rank the albums as follows:

1. Water
2. Earth
3. Fire
4. Air

They're all great though.

I disagree on Vheissu/Beggars being better, though nothing on TAI is as good as Beggars (the song).

checking out the two albums from this band
first one: production is trash and the album feels a bit monotonous but the style is okay. wouldn't pick it up
second one: dang, this is really cool though. it's definitely refined from the first album & production wise is a ton better as well. i bought it earlier today. it's very much "my thing". the opener is prob my favorite track though tbh but it's killer as heck

Agree. There are some really cool tracks on this album which is marred by some godawful production. I particularly like Gillan's performance on Trashed: "And as we got trashed, we were laughing still, well bless my soul etc". I will admit the instrumentals are basically just filler and the cover art is pretty uninspiring. Still my treasure my vinyl copy which I bought the day it was released here in Australia.  ;)

Today I've played

Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound - Ekranoplan
Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruption
Sigur Ros - Takk

Ekranoplan was a purely speculative purchase, I had never heard of AHiSS nor read any reviews. Smart move as it turned out. One of the best albums I bought in 2016. The link below is for the instrumental track Summon the Vardig, one of my favourites.

Probably my least favorite of theirs (you know, it's weird that they only have 3 (officially released) studio albums.

The Open Door has some really great moments, and even a few cool songs, but overall the songwrting really seems scattered and rushed together. Like the studio said "Go make an album" and they just pulled 1/4 an album's worth of ideas and did what they could.

Most definitely. Snowgoose is the album that seems to get most attention, but this is where it's at for me. Easily in my all time top 20. This is right up in there with Close to the Edge, Going For the One and Banco's debut as my favourite prog album. Besides Lattimer's usual sublime playing, Bardens is all over this. Airborn is absolutely gorgeous. Classic album. :tup

One of the great prog rock albums
(https://www.guitarworld.com/sites/default/files/public/25826_image0_20100602_auto_1.jpg)

Most definitely. Snowgoose is the album that seems to get most attention, but this is where it's at for me. Easily in my all time top 20. This is right up in there with Close to the Edge, Going For the One and Banco's debut as my favourite prog album. Besides Lattimer's usual sublime playing, Bardens is all over this. Airborn is absolutely gorgeous. Classic album. :tup

Today I played
Golden Earring - Eight Miles High.

It's nice to meet another Camel and Banco fan here. Snowgoose is another great one. I discovered Banco and PFM through ProgArchives. That site opened me up to so many different bands.

Another Camel fane here, though Nude is my favourite, with the Pressure Points live album.

There are a few Camel fans here. All there stuff is terrific. My favourite album is Moonmadness, but pretty much all their albums feature at least one stellar track. A couple of my favourites: Ice (I Can See Your House From Here), Uneven Song (Raindances) and Nimrondel/The Procession/White Rider (Mirage).

@ Progsnob Nice to see another fan of Italian Prog. Banco are a top 5 band for me. Their debut would be in my top 10 albums, possibly even top 5. I gave Kevshmev a heads up about them a while back, but they weren't his thing. Are you familiar with Museo Rosenbach or Il Balleto Di Bronzo? Zaruthstra and Ys are essential albums if you're into Italian prog. Agree that Prog archives is a great site for discovering new music. If you're not familiar with the Eloy albums I mentioned in your thread re. 5 album runs, have a listen to the links I posted and then checkout the reviews on Progarchives. You'll see there are many others who share my appreciation of that run.

This evening I listened to
Whitewillow - Sacrament
Very laid back melancholy pastoral prog in a similar vein to Anglagard.

I recently started listening to Eloy. I came across them while searching for some space prog bands. As far as those other two Italian bands you mentioned, I am not familiar with them...yet.   ;)

this is... fine but it's failed to leave much of an impression on me after three listens. does a lot of different stuff within the black metal realm and there are a few moments i go "yeah that's cool" but nothing that really sticks. bleh.

giant squid: this is surprisingly not that heavy, at least not as heavy as i remembered on full listen, but it is... good, yeah. honestly feels like some weird mixture of stoner/sludge metal and 70's prog, a lot of psychedelic elements here up to the closer just being a 20 minute jam. and all the songs hold their own pretty well, aside from the stupid interlude track that's only a minute long there's nothing here i'd cut. so yeah. it's not fantastic but i dig it.
intronaut: whoa, boy. i am actually surprised at how good this is, considering it tends to be regarded lower than their other albums. which is... a bit unfair? it's quite good. musically it's most comparable to their latest, though produced better imo, but it's also a bit heavier on the whole than any of their other albums though it has its quiet moments. i like it more than at least valley of smoke and maybe habitual levitations, and, yeah, it's a pretty great listen front to back
soen: okay, i give up. be as derivative as you want if you're gonna make tunes this enjoyable, i guess. really, most every track stands on its own pretty well on top of all of them being interesting and pretty great. they made a good album and i will commend them for that, certainly.

Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe


Love this album! I enjoy this every bit as much as Oxygene. For me both albums are right up there with the best of Klaus Schulz, Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra, Vangelis and Kitaro when considering great electronic albums.

Wow I deliberately didn't play you anything from this album because it has way more alternative metal tendencies than the others, thought you wouldn't like that. :lol Anyway, this is the album that got me into Hacride and my personal favourite.

Great! If I find a good replacement for the song I have however, I will try and replace it since it's more fun sending brand completely new songs.

Another gem thanks to the Spotify 'Discover weekly' playlist. There are some serious Mars Volta high notes hit on this album. Check it out if you're a TMV fan :tup

Second Sight Blackout is such a blast! I've sent it in roulettes pretty regularly. Great EP, but they are no longer together and this is the only release worth checking out to be honest.

I did have it on my list to send you some time but didn't really go through with it, it was rather low on my list since I thought you might not like it, but it's great that you do. :tup The chorus ius incredibly C&C-influenced in my opinion, which is why I thought of sending it

Well as I said it has serious Mars Volta vibes and although I like a bit of TMV, I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan or anything so I can see why you might not have sent them. Yea, I like this, I did a bit of research and it seems the album that followed this EP wasn't so well received. I'll spin this until I tire of it  :tup free download on Bandcamp as well.

Yep, the live albums thread made me do it. I love how they change up what the narrator says on the 'Dark Matters' part of this live album. "Good evening dorks, pick your hands off your peckers and lend an ear, what will be revealed in the next 50 minutes will make you crap your pants then lay down some fresh skidders!"  :lol :lol :lol

some solid death metal with a lot of symphonic stuff going on. i like it but i also don't really have any desire to relisten to it, it's kind of like, the junk food of death metal

also the band is japanese and that comes through at a few points so that's cool

another symphonic death metal type affair & probably more enjoyable than the previous one i listened to but at the same time it's still not thaaat unique in any way & again I doubt I'd relisten to it

Yesterday, I listened to "Alcest - Ecailles De Lune" during a midnight walk while the neighborhood was packed in snow, it was such an ethereal experience. I already love Ecailles but it's miles better in a winter-y atmosphere for sure.

Now:

Made The TAC Top 50. An epic album. Some of the best drumming I've heard. It's a shame the band blew up shortly after. Guitarist Frederic Leclerq now wasting his time as Dragonforce's bassist. He's actually an amazing musician.

The album kicks off with three great tracks: Evil, Lust For Life, and Victory.

I also love Fight For Deliverance. Some sick drumming. And Hands Of Darkness is an awesome instrumental.

Great band. I've done the kickstarter for everything since the first album. Think Chad turned me onto them?
Very professional sounding with an immense production and it's great to have a female singer who doesn't either sound like bloke or go the operatic route.

They have a US tour lined up with Sirenia.

re: Madison - Diamond Mistress

Must be among my first 10 albums and I loved it back then.
Also the first time I've heard Göran Edman before he became a hired gun (John Norum, Yngwie...).
The second and last Madison album Best In Show wasn't bad either, but not as magical as Diamond Mistress.

Never heard of Heavenly. I have to check it. Heavy Metal Queen sounds intriguing.

And, yes, Demons Down is great. Tommy Aldridge rules.

They should have called this album The Floor Tom.  Honestly, this was kind of a letdown after Bilateral and Coal.  Rewind and The Flood are amazing tracks, but the rest leaves me wanting.

black crown initiate: pretty meh on the opener but the rest of the tracks range from solid to pretty good. as an album though i feel like this isn't very cohesive; like they haven't really found their sound and are just jumping around into a lot of different styles. doesn't mean the songs don't work on their own but the album as a whole does feel a little messy & the closer ends a bit abruptly, feels like it should've gone on a bit longer
obscure sphinx: still trying to crack this one honestly, it's very much an album-oriented album rather than individual songs, and there's a ton of great moments of atmosphere as well as some crushing riffs, but it does feel like it blurs together a bit too much. may just need more listens. i do feel the last track could've been a bit shorter too, the first half is good but the second half feels a bit repetitive.
unexpect: i like this quite a bit more than in a flesh aquarium, for sure. less of the stupid clown gimmick & less of the weird sikth-y spoken word stuff and more of a focus on tighter songwriting while honestly feeling like the go a lot more places musically than before. the opener is great, words is great, unfed pendulum is great, the closing suite is great, the rest of the songs are all pretty solid on the whole too, none i dislike. good stuff.

That sums up my feeling on Fables pretty well, though I would add Orange Vigilantes and The Quantum Symphony to the "great" category. The only tracks that I don't really care for are Mechanical Phoenix and Silence This Parasite, and they're still pretty solid.

those would probably be my two weakest, yeah. silence this parasite has the unfortunate placement of being between the two longest songs and getting pretty overshadowed. and mechanical phoenix is the most similar to the last album, in that it's kind of a mess and feels like a few song segments awkwardly shoved together  :lol

Never officially rated it JJ but in the 90's for sure - I think it got an honorable mention in my DTF Top 50.    The one thing with Lion is Kal Swan's voice - I never had an issue with it but it's very love/hate.   For mine it's probably Doug Aldrich's best album - absolutely blistering.

He's a bit low in the mix but listen carefully to the solo section in this........

Thanks ...............yeah I do search, listen, rate,rank  as I go during the year for the most part and so that's hundreds if not thousand+ of hours that I do gradually throughout the year.  The best of 80's shows are a bigger task going back and starting from scratch in some ways as it's work that I wouldn't normally be doing anyway.

 Coming up with final lists , importing/converting/equalising/mixing/editing/voice overs etc.....would take dozens of hours for a show of that size as I am just a rank beginner with the software and do it in little spurts of activity which isn't ideal.  So yes - plenty of work but feedback like yours (and my own love of the music) keeps me motivated. I never thought we would get to 8 or 9 shows to be honest.

I like it! I wrote up a little review I'll share here:

Quote
Armored Saint just keeps getting better. It's amazing to think the band that recorded "March of the Saint" and "Raising Fear" in the 1980s, and disappeared in the 1990s, has come back stronger. But Saint has, and Carpe Noctum captures their renewed energy perfectly.

Almost half of this eight-song release are songs written in the last several years, and they all stand up well with the classics. "Win Hands Down," the lead track, kicks things into gear with a stomping groove and killer guitar solo, while frontman John Bush delivers his usual blend of melodic and soulful, yet gritty vocals. Other highlights include stirring versions of "Last Train Home" and "Reign of Fire" from arguably Armored Saint's most widely known album, Symbol of Salvation.

The only downside is how short the album is (which is why it is four-stars, instead of five). Taken from a festival appearance, one can't help but wonder why Armored Saint didn't invest the time in capturing the audio from one of its sets co-headlining with Metal Church in 2016. With a big catalog to draw from, Saint really did itself a disservice by not seizing the opportunity to showcase a longer and more diverse playlist.

Overall, Carpe Noctum is a powerful performance from a cult metal band that never got the recognition it deserved. Unlike some veteran metal bands, Armored Saint has not lost a step over the years, and incredibly, has gotten better. If you're a hardcore, picking this up is a no-brainer. If you're a metal fan looking to check out Armored Saint for the first time, in the words of John Bush, "get off the fence," and check this out.

One of those cases where the album cover kept me from listening to it for a really long time.

Woah, only 4 songs in and it's fucking awesome so far! The vocals are probably the make or break factor for most, they're very out there but I can dig 'em.

gave this a spin myself. for a band that doesn't use any growls at all the music actually gets pretty dang heavy but there's also a 70's rock feel flowing through it all that i dig.

i am not... too keen on the vocals but they're not awful and the real draw here is the music anyways

Check this on Spotify.
The Come Together cover was terrible.
Danger In The Night had an awesome guitar solo. Started out like a Saxon track. The vocals a bit weak.

Lonely Nights is excellent.
If I heard this in 1983, I might have liked it. Mot sure it would've stood a chance by 1987 though.

Is that Watching The World? That's on Spotify too. Checking it out. Sounds like very early Saxon. Musically it's pretty good. Stronger than the EP, I think. Needs a singer though! Sounds like a LA Sleaze singer.

One of those cases where the album cover kept me from listening to it for a really long time.

Woah, only 4 songs in and it's fucking awesome so far! The vocals are probably the make or break factor for most, they're very out there but I can dig 'em.
gave this a spin myself. for a band that doesn't use any growls at all the music actually gets pretty dang heavy but there's also a 70's rock feel flowing through it all that i dig.

i am not... too keen on the vocals but they're not awful and the real draw here is the music anyways

I tried this album, but could not get into it, so clicked on Duel-Fears of the Dead.  Genre says Stoner metal.  The lead singer sounds a lot like Jim Morrison from the Doors.  If you like old school rock, give this a try.  The information states the band features two former Scorpion Child members(never heard of the band).

Last song on album is  Locked Outside :metal

Nocturnes and Requiems: This album rules. Pretty straightforward stuff, but so badass that I don't care all that much. Jake Dreyer is a beast of a guitar player (shame that he'll soon be wasting his talents in Iced Earth) - definitely recommended to any fans of Nevermore.
Fables of the Sleepless Empire: Definitely Unexpect's best. They strike just the right balance between being crazy and not going overboard. Unfed Pendulum is so good.
Hegaiamas: Except for the spoken word track, this is a really good album. Nothing as immediately captivating like Lifeknot and Mother Madness on Orvam, but crazily consistant. Take away the final couple minutes of spoken word, and the title track is probably my favourite Need song.
In the Passing Light of Day: I've gushed enough about this album, so suffice to say that this is still my favourite album of this year. It's not quite perfect, but damn close to it, and the three epics are all superb.
In Glorious Times: What Unexpect would sound like if they were less metal and even more weird. Miles ahead of Of Natural History, and a beast of an album. Angle of Repose, Ossuary and Salt Crown are my favourites, but the whole album is a really interesting listening experience.
Communication Lost: I dig this melancholic vibe throughout. It's pretty simple musically, but still a very rewarding listen. The vocals are great throughout.

dreadnought: while there's not really any song on this that sticks out to me & a few of the tracks feel maybe a bit stretched out, it's still plenty interesting musically. maybe a bit light on the metal elements but ehh who cares. i like it. it's not great & i still feel i'm gonna enjoy spinning their debut more but it's still a solid release
in the woods...: this basically just is the slightly better version of novembre - ursa, lol. the songs are a bit more distinct (though not that much more distinct; there's a few here that don't stand out at all), there's plenty of great heavy stuff. the instrumental here isn't as good as agathae though. really this isn't a fantastic album or anything but it's enjoyable. sounds kinda like green carnation at times too, especially the drumming.
saor: again none of the songs really stand out that much, but the album as a whole is still pretty enjoyable to listen to. feels a bit more diverse than aura, the folk stuff doesn't blend together as much as it did there. i dunno if it's necessarily "better" though because, again, not crazy about this one either, but i still enjoy it & wanna keep spinning it for a while yet.

the week of "i'm not really crazy about this album but it's pretty solid" albums, lol

Disconnected: Still blows my mind. From what I've gathered from FW fans this seems to not be up there with the fan favourites but I fucking love it, easily my favourite of the ones I've heard.
Quiet World: The more I listen to, the shorter it seems. Really craving for more Native Construct music, I can only obsess over a <50 minute album for so long.
ECO: Probably DMM's best work so far, absolutely love Stardust and everything else is at least great.
Lykaia: Best album of the year so far, no question. Man, I'm totally addicted to this. :lol
Pure: Don't really get the Novembre - URSA comparison apart from the seemingly doomy vocals, though I think they sound more like Woods of Ypres or something. Still, I think it's pretty solid and I'll come back to it. Really, "Towards the Black Surreal" is quite good, one of the best doom metal songs I've heard in a while.
Dust and Disquiet: Starting to really dig Caspian, this is probably their heaviest album but it's pretty great post-rock nonetheless. "Arcs of Command" is one of the best songs in the genre I ever heard.

a progressivel/doom metal band with an emphasis on atmosphere makes their first album of the decade. it's 10 songs long, and the longest track is track #8, an instrumental track. the album runs just a few minutes over an hour.

i just described novembre - ursa

but i like this one more tbh it's heavier and darker, two things that appeal to me more
maybe this will help, train
though to be fair novembre isn't very doomy but i just wanted to make the connection

Okay, that makes sense lol. I was thinking the exact same thing when I found out the longest song was an instrumental tbh, Agathae is definitely the better instrumental. Instrumentation on that In The Woods album is great though, will definitely come back to it

astronoid: yeah, this is a cool sound. i do think the songs stand on their own just enough & it's not too long that it does hold my interest all the way through but i can't see them making another album without doing at least something different with the sound. but it's both pretty intense and pretty gorgeous and i very much dig that.
east of the wall: i didn't really have many expectations for this one, and having given it a decent amount of spins now, i can say... yeah, it's just okay. i got this more for completion's sake tbh and it's still pretty solid, there's some great instrumental bits here but it pales in comparison to their later work.
xanthochroid: honestly i'm not even close to being done digesting this one because there's a lot to it and it's actually, really great. the quieter tracks all have enough personality to stand out and while a few of the metal tracks haven't really clicked for me (mostly the three shorter ones) the ones that have are really good; especially that fantastic closer, geez. good stuff.

Air really is great. I could seriously knock up an album cover better than that in a few hours though. It is so bad, I just don't get it. I don't find anything appealing about it at all. The logo, the colours, the subject matter, they are all lacking in my view.

Getting very good reviews around the place.  Has a couple of very good tracks but overall their brand of "disco metal" is a bit too heavy on the disco for my taste. Solid album though and she has a great voice..

Deen Castronovo may have some personal stuff he's working through.  But, the guy can play and sing like a motherf*cker.

Reunited with my love this morning. The only thing I was afraid of with this album is that it wouldn't pass the test of time, but it has almost been a year since my first listen and it's still perfect

The last album was a step up for Blaze compared to he previous releases, and this one continues in the same fashion. Still not as good as the first 3 Blaze albums, but it's good nonetheless.

this is really stupid & maybe a joke but it's actually kind cool. dissonant as heck but less extreme/intense and more like, post-metally black metal, a real sludgy vibe to it.
& the bass is just absolutely sick on this album tbh

edge of sanity: this album puts me in a frustrating place. there are two main problems; 1. the production quality is just not sufficient for the style 2. there aren't enough good riffs. 2 may be a product of 1 though because good riffs can sound meh with bad production. anyways. the melodic work on this album is solid, the story is pretty good actually, and the song feels kind of like a jumbled string of ideas but it's held together by its reuse of probably at least half of its ideas over the course of the album. and it's only 40 minutes so there's no time to get tired of it. i just wish i liked it more & i feel like the production is the biggest culprit of why i don't.
hacride: i do get why this took me a while to warm up to because the structure of this album is honestly kind of idiotic. who decided that the entire front half of the album should be frontloaded with an almost nonstop triplet groove, and then the back half only have one song's worth of it while the rest of it is straightforward 4/4? it can leave the first half of the album feeling really samey. which is a shame because each and every song on its own is absolutely killer and when i'm able to pick out the different tracks  the sameyness doesn't really matter. but it makes this a really tough album to enter into. i'm glad i stuck with it though. awakening is a bloody monster of a song & the opener and closer are not far behind. and phenomenon is a great interlude track. and the three shorter triplet groove tracks all have a fair number of cool moments as well. the vox are a bit meh but they don't really take away from the album & i don't mind them. there's a ton of killer riffs, every song has a few. there's even a decent amount of atmospheric moments (especially on the opener and closer) and just a great sense of creativity with the songwriting, each song does feel necessary. i'm writing a lot about this one because i genuinely love it tbh but it's also super frustrating
pain of salvation: yeah, it's no tpe 1 or remedy lane, but it's superior to their last few efforts. really the album could've been just on a tuesday, full throttle trible, if this is the end, and the passing light of day and i would've been satisfied. the shorter tracks i don't mind, a few of them i quite like (meaningless grew on me a lot, especially) but a few of them are hard misses for me. tongue of god is just generic & kind of laaaame in an "early 2000's alt-metal" way, and aside from the guitar solo, angels of broken things just doesn't work; that chorus is awful. silent gold is okay but doesn't leave a huge impact with me, reasons i liked at first but it toes a dangerous line and repeated listens made it sour on me a little. and the taming of a beast is... fine. s'alright. but yeah, longer stuff here is all great, though don't think i didn't notice that the closer is just an extended version of if this is the end, basically. even has the same riff at one point and both have an ending theme reprise as well. weird as heck choice.

This one's not really grabbing me, but it's something to listen to while I work.

Damn, this album cover is severely compensating for something.  It's like the members of Poison got replaced by New Kids on the Block, doing songs written by Buddy Holly.  This is the kind of album you come up with when you're 17 and still in high school and got your parents to front the cash for a shoestring recording studio budget, so all your friends would think you were cool.  I'm six songs into an 8 song album and I can't bring myself to turn back now, I have see this through.  Apparently they later changed their name to Blackfish, because "The Unknown" was clearly predicting something.  If they kept it up, they'd stay unknown.

album cover looks good to me

That is the kinda stuff I used to listen to when I was 15 and still going to church.  Sure, it rocks some, but it just sounds too sterile or wholesome.

I remember , back in the day , trying to find out who the girl was on that cover (without success ) - holy moly  :metal     Had to settle for a date with the Poetic Justice chick :lol

Lillian Axe had a great run on their early albums - that one, Poetic Justice and  (the much darker and quite brilliant) Psychoschizophrenia are all strong.   Even the debut is pretty good.

Goddamn, this album is great. I can see this getting a lot of spins.

@Train, I really hope you fall in love with Coheed and Cambria enough to get tickets to that show as I could see you really regretting it if you get into them. It's their #1 album for me and this is (I think) the first time they've played it in full outside of the US.

Also right there with you listening to plenty of Leprous, Tesseract and Devin Townsend ready for Sundays gig :2metal:

Big H, that Bob Catley album is excellent. Just one or two lesser songs towards the end drag it down a touch.

White Lion - Mane Attraction

Bonfire - Fireworks

i'm happy for them that they can make the music they want and have others hear it

but uhh

this holds absolutely no interest to me and i don't know why anyone would want to listen to this. just an endless string of soulless technicality lol

I kind of like it in the background, but you could literally listen to 2 minutes of any of the songs and you know the entire album pretty much.

I thought the album might've been more Dan-fronted in terms of songwriting, from what I gather he is the one that comes up with a lot of the weird proggy stuff in BTBAM and Orbs. I'm happy for him though, he's a great musician and should get all the recognition he can get.

So I gave the album a spin and this sums it up pretty perfectly, thanks based god Parama.

Also is it just me or is it full of incredibly annoying bass and guitar tones?

listening to a lot of french metal bands rn because ???

this is some really twisted & dissonant black metal. pretty moody album too. most memorable moments were these chill bits with great bass grooves.
might revisit it. didn't love it but it's interesting to say the least

This is... different. Kinda classic progressive-metal compared to Coal and The Congregation, but it's really nice. Einar sounds 100% identital to Ross from Haken on some parts. I actually thought I was listening to Haken a few times.  :lol

yeah i gave this a listen a few days ago too. it's... never done as much for me as bilateral and the congregation, nor the better songs off coal. it's solid enough stuff but i dunno, doesn't have the weirdness of bilateral or the jagged grooves of the congregation to make it stand out

I just decided to listen to some Cat Stevens, another artist I (re)discovered by watching How I Met Your Mother (along with f.e. Billy Joel). So I just bought three vinyls of him.

Have you guys noticed, that his voice sometimes sounds like early Peter Gabriel, especially when he sings loudly? Oddly enough, Gabriel has played the flute on one of his albums.

Very nice songs, often very melancholy. I like that.
So:

I d agree with that though I didn't think awful, just average. I wasn't paying full attention tbh as I was cooking (being a modern man and all 😀)

First couple of tracks got me excited though.

I've been meaning to try that Cellador. Heard a track from it that sounded good. I struggle to get through power metal albums these days - it's all so samey. We're back at Frontiers again!

That's actually one of the better retro rock albums I have heard in a while Tim.    I'm not a big fan of 70's music as a rule but they did a really good job of rehashing it in a way that appeals to me.

Brent, I am just finishing it now. That album is incredible.
Reminds me of old Lucifer's Friend/old Thin Lizzy/ The Sweet.

At 37 minutes it's damn near perfect. I have literally never heard of them until I saw them referenced on Bravewords tonight.


A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon the Dead Lord album, which is kind of in this vain. Loved that one as well.

the flight of sleipnir - nothing on this album really grabs me that strongly, but at the same time everything is pretty good (especially the last two tracks) and it's an enjoyable listen. maybe a bit of a patient one though.
indukti - yeah, this is a bit better than s.u.s.a.r., for the first half of the album they have a bit more of an edge and primal sound to them and i think it works out really well. the back half loses me a little, it's still good but not as good. even the final track with its gratuitous sax, is just missing something, i dunno. it makes sense that and who's the god now? is the best song on either of their albums though since they put it on both their eps lol
mare cognitum - i dunno. the third track is great, but the rest leaves me a bit cold. solid stuff but doesn't really stand out in any way. i feel i'm lacking a decent grasp on the 15 minute closer still but i get the gist of the other three songs for sure, so. it's not bad, far from it, but i was hoping for a bit more of an effect

side note all three of these covers rule

tried IV or V at all?  I will say I find much of the Color Spectrum to be quite different than the Acts.  But don't let me discourage you - there is a lot of cool stuff in the color EPs.

Well it's been a while since I've jammed some stuff in heavy doses, these are some of them.

Bocanada: Damn this is some amazing national stuff, quite electronic but very atmospheric and chill, and catchy. Loving it.
The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld: Some roulette stuff, very nice electronic stuff, chill and kinda experimental. Prob too long tho.
Channel Orange: More roulette stuff, and also from bae's top 100. Very solid production and songwriting, yet I'm not sure if I'm sold into those modern R&B sounds.
The Great Cold Distance: Well, first time with Katatonia. Interesting stuff, even if a bit one-dimensional for a first listen, but I like their style. Will revisit.
Pig Inside the Gentleman: Ohboy, this is some great, uh, cinematic jazz? Definitely feels very contemporary, with a production normally of rock albums, meaning it's loud but with lots of space. Also a little chaotic but definitely more accesible than older, more classic jazz I've tried.
Impressions: Definitely more atmospheric and minimalist than his debut and Walking on a Flashlight Beam. I dig it tho - hyped for his new album in a few months!

First time listening to Figure 8, I kind of like the more lush arrangements and the more frequent use of piano. It also goes a lot heavier at times which is nice but overall I feel it lacks some of the subtility of Either/Or.

okay, i definitely feel like i enjoy this more than of natural history. i don't -love- it on first listen but there's interesting stuff happening and it's got a much better balance of melody and dissonance

Right now I'm listening to

Marillion - Anorak in the UK Live

Definitely not the music to face demon spawn from the pits of Hell to, but still pretty decent never the less. I suppose I could defeat them by putting them into a dreamlike trance though, thereby avoiding the need for blood to taint the pure steel of my mighty broad sword.   :smiley:

eryn non dae.: man, this has a strong case of the valley effect. first and last tracks are absolutely killer. second and sixths tracks are both pretty good. middle three tracks are just kinda there and kinda meh. not bad but not great either. they're like less than a third of the album in total though and for the most part i enjoy this quite a bit. but especially that first and last track. i guess this album can come off as a little colorless, would be my biggest criticism. it's very grey.
keelhaul: at first i wasn't really that into this one but, it's kind of a patient album and it grows on you? the production is kind of meh but there's a lot of cool instrumental stuff going on here, and i dig how the album ends with a droney track followed by a chill instrumental. i still think these guys would be a better band without vocals but there's not as many vocal bits here as on their second album, it feels like.
menace ruine: okay i just really love this. it's absolutely, utterly oppressive in the best way. i just love that guitar sound so much. and the folky bits give it a bit of flavor too; it doesn't really feel like any track gets lost in the shuffle, though the three tracks between the title track and the closer are admittedly not as strong as the rest, probably due to being less loud. i dunno. i like this though, it's good

For those that know the group, which of their other albums are similar to this one?

dreadnought: this is better in every way than bridging realms and i hope they return to a sound more like this on their upcoming album. it's just more dynamic, more atmospheric, more cohesive, and more diverse, really. i dig this, a lot. it's really good. can't believe these guys aren't bigger
flaming row: oh boy so this is too long. duh. but honestly i like most of it. the two big epics are good and most of journey to the afterlife is good too, though the instrumental bits on it tend to lose me. and the two quiet folkier tracks, also really good. burning row has a bit of a tone problem though, and memento mori is just completely disposable. and the story's pacing sucks. they don't set up jacob as a plot point until the second track & then they kill him off halfway through the third track in a verse of all things, followed by spending the rest of that song AND the entirety of journey to the afterlife AND half of pictures all mourning him. the emotional connection is just NOT there for me, even if it is for the characters. and because it spends so much time here i lose the plot and never find it again until the end. that's kind of a nitpick but still. anyways yeah this is good but i also see myself not returning to it that much, it's kind of shallow and really too long
panzerballett: a bit gimmicky and there are a few tracks i could live without (mahna mahna is kind of awful but thankfully short) and the vocals on shunyai could be cut too to no real loss. but they do keep things pretty diverse, every song adds its own flavor and i don't really get bored listening to this until like the last track generally. it's technical metal stuff so i kind of expected to not love it that strongly but i do like this a fair bit, it's unique enough

did these earlier than usual because this is another set i have pretty strong and well-formed opinions on

Yep, you're right. Minuet de Lune is still my favourite song but Lifewoven is the better album. Renaissance gets a close #2 for fave Dreadnought song from me, can't wait for their new album man

really dig lift and deluge myself but immolate's also great.

as are the other three. it's like, honestly i'd take any single lifewoven song over any single bridging realms song, there's just that much of a gap
and it's not like bridging realms is bad, it's still good, just, not nearly as good

Blue: Pretty interesting, creative synthpop music. I don't really like the retro 80s sounds here tho.
Melody AM: Some damn fine, chill downtempo music. Although some sounds are a little dated, the atmosphere and songwriting are strong enough to make up for it.
No Now: Ohboy, this is like Justin Timberlake on drugs. A bit chaotic and odd, but fuck, this has got tons of energy, catchiness and creativity going on. Really digging it.

Army of Mushrooms: Well, basically them gone full brostep and glitch. And it's actually kinda cool? Not as memorable or creative as CVII or Vicious Delicious but it's just a blast to listen to - U R So Fucked is fucking great.
Velvet Underground & Nico: Uuhh, I kinda get why this has got a cult, iconic status, and I enjoy it, but it's not really stuff I'd return to - just dad rock :P
The Miraculous: More roulette stuff (I swear I'll end up catching with all the albums :lol), and it's pretty epic and dark. The dronier tracks are kinda boring tho, but I'll see how this album grows.

The Dance of the Moon and the Sun: Mmnnn some nice, uhhhh... mix of ambient, drone, tribal, folk, experimental tracks? Pretty atmospheric stuff, but I'm not really big on the drone songs (some take up quite a good portions of this double album), but the folky ones are really nice.
An Empty Bliss Beyond this World: Basically old Dixieland records played and recorded with tons of reverb. Quite a haunting atmosphere tho, love hearing all that vinyl grain and these old tunes like they were underwater. Kinda reminds me of the Bioshock soundtracks.
Pimp Master: Wow, this is some crazy, intense jazz. Yet it's not really meandering nor too chaotic - lots of catchy melodies actually. Kinda reminds me of the Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack but more intense. Ofc they're fucking Japanese.

Modal Soul: Yup I like this sound, although I admit it can get a little monotonous for such a long record. Still, lovely pianos, nice hip-hop beats, some rap and vocal performances here, and quite a lot of jazzy vibes. Ofc more Japanese stuff - guy did the Samurai Champloo OST.
Rook: Some pretty nice Indie Rock/Folk, may send some in Tomislav's roulette :P
Drawing of Sound: Lovely layered guitars, slow paced songs, soft yet intelligible female vocals, very atmospheric and relaxing. Fans of Hammock check this out.

Rook: Some pretty nice Indie Rock/Folk, may send some in Tomislav's roulette :P

I stopped particularly to see what are you going to say about it and I see this :P got them recommended by both Last.fm and Spotify but I don't think I heard anything from them. BTW it's time to send something, really :lol
Well, since none of my trip-hop has really worked for you, I'll prob send something from that album :lol

Does anyone know the German band LIFT here? They came from my hometown Dresden and were considered one of the best German Prog bands in the 70s, not only of the GDR - and they studied music at the very music College where I study guitar right now! (Very proud of that.)
LIFT came up with a lot of hauntingly beautiful melodies and great song structures as well as amazing lyrics (although most of you guys won't understand them).

Here's a song that reminds me a lot of early Genesis (Seven Stones) and early Crimso (In The Court). Simply beautiful:

listened to all three of these in a row.
first one's the most aggressive by far and probably my favorite of the bunch upon first listen, it feels more varied while still having the same sound that the other two albums have.
second and third albums are almost entirely slower tracks though the second album is more dissonant than the last.
decent industrial vibe running throughout all of these too and i would say i enjoyed listening to them all, though i don't know if they're striking me as hard as the other blut aus nord stuff i've listened to thus far

Starting to catch up with some 2016 releases plus other stuff.

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/06/ReturnToOmmadawn.jpg) (https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-000011525021-grfc3n-t500x500.jpg) (https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/frank-ocean-channel-orange-cover.jpg) (https://stevenwilsonhq.com/sw/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/14100243_1162013537202340_490277211440286143_n.jpg) (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d1/No_Plan_EP_%28Front_Cover%29.jpg) (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61QofgEzlfL.jpg)

Return to Ommadawn: I love the original Ommadawn so I was a little worried about this sequel or whatever but also cautiously hyped for it. And it actually is pretty good! Although it doesn't have the fierce passion and energy of the former album, instead is more relaxing, simpler, and contemplative. Kinda fitting for a 60yo man.
Zorya: This is uhh... great electronic stuff? RYM says it's Nu Jazz, Downtempo, Ambient, IDM, yet doesn't really sound like any of those genres. Very interesting music here. Guy made the Machinarium soundtrack btw.
Channel Orange: Both roulette stuff and one of bae's top 100 (almost done with it). Kinda underwhelmed at first but it's grown a bit after some listens. Yeah I dig this R&B thing.

V: Now THIS is an album I was dead worried about - considering their last albums just expected it to succ. And it's actually good! Prob a little cheesy or overdramatic here and there but it's better than what I expected.
No Plan: Basically Lazarus plus 3 tracks that didn't make it to Blackstar. Damn, they're really good! Definitely don't fit with the record's sound but excellent songs on their own, mostly Killing a Little Time.
The Epic: Dunno, on one hand I really like some songs here, but on the other it's just so fucking long and there are several tunes I'm not into. Will prob give it a few more chances to see if it grows more on me.

So I found this super weird dude living half an hour from where I live. He sells old and new Vinyl records he found somewhere in an old storage room or so. I guess the original owner passed away. The guy has no idea whatsoever WHAT he's selling or for HOW MUCH he SHOULD be selling it, but I have found some rarities there.
First I bought STEELY DAN - EVERYTHING MUST GO, which goes away for 150-200 bucks on eBay for 25€! Also I found records by Miles Davis, Till Brönner, Yes and - and his is the reason why I post this in here - TUDOR LODGE.

(https://img.discogs.com/ifP2za8yXpsZxQev9h4cJ2nFDxM=/fit-in/300x300/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-5473009-1470582998-7434.jpeg.jpg)

Does anyone know this band? I had never heard of them until today. The dude had the only album they ever made remastered in a super cool 6-piece foldout cover and I only took it because it looked so awesome.
The music can be described as Folk, maybe a little progressive, but very sunny and late 60s. I love it! I already googled the album and found out that I made an awesome deal by buying it for 10€.

Next is the 2006 remastered version of Yes' Fragile I also bought today!! YAY!

So I found this super weird dude living half an hour from where I live. He sells old and new Vinyl records he found somewhere in an old storage room or so. I guess the original owner passed away. The guy has no idea whatsoever WHAT he's selling or for HOW MUCH he SHOULD be selling it, but I have found some rarities there.
First I bought STEELY DAN - EVERYTHING MUST GO, which goes away for 150-200 bucks on eBay for 25€! Also I found records by Miles Davis, Till Brönner, Yes and - and his is the reason why I post this in here - TUDOR LODGE.

(https://img.discogs.com/ifP2za8yXpsZxQev9h4cJ2nFDxM=/fit-in/300x300/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-5473009-1470582998-7434.jpeg.jpg)

Does anyone know this band? I had never heard of them until today. The dude had the only album they ever made remastered in a super cool 6-piece foldout cover and I only took it because it looked so awesome.
The music can be described as Folk, maybe a little progressive, but very sunny and late 60s. I love it! I already googled the album and found out that I made an awesome deal by buying it for 10€.

Next is the 2006 remastered version of Yes' Fragile I also bought today!! YAY!

Cool story  :tup  I wish there was someone like that living in my town!

Right now I'm listening to

Pavlov's Dog - Pampered Menial  :hefdaddy

Earlier Boston - s/t and Don't Look Back (inspired by Kev's vocalists thread)

Opeth - Heritage

I've been going to quite a few concerts of bands I love lately but this is probably the one I was looking forward to the most, love all the songs on the setlist. The only thing I'm a bit bummed about is they play neither Void nor The Other's Fall, but the picks from Cognitive and Lykaia are near perfect

EDIT:
(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/0009267028_10.jpg)
Man, what a great album. Have only heard it a couple times as of now but it's definitely top 3 of the year so far (admittedly haven't checked a lot of new albums out yet). Lykaia #1, but this one and the new Mastodon album are close contenders for the second spot and not even far off from Lykaia to be honest.

Desert Call: Still fantastic. Easily my favourite Myrath album. Silent Cries is amazing.
Emperor of Sand: Needs some more listens, but I can already say that I like it a fair bit more than Once More 'Round the Sun. Steambreather and Jaguar God are amazing.
In the Passing Light of Day: I haven't listened to this much in the last month or so, but it's still a super powerful album, and I really enjoyed revisiting it.
Shadows of the Sun: Perfect when I'm in this kind of mood. One of the best atmospheric albums that I know.
Wars of the Roses: Not quite as enjoyable as SotS, but still a good album. Stone Angels needed a while to grow on me, but I really like it now.
Warpaint: Saw Train posting about this, decided to check it out - fantastic album. The guitar work throughout is sublime.

Today's albums:

Big Big Train: English Electric: Full Power

Been a while since I've gone through the whole 135-minute album, but the lovely spring sunshine here called for it.

Yes: Close to the Edge

Pendragon: Men Who Climb Mountains

Men Who Climb Mountains has been a slow grower for me, but grow on me it has. I particularly love the keyboard chords at the end of Beautiful Soul, and how it comes back to form the main progression of the closing song, Netherworld.

Cat Stevens - Catch Bull at Four

Most here probably aren't familiar with Australian band Cold Chisel. In Australia however they are perhaps THE definitive Australian pub rock band. What Bruce Springsteen is to US rock, Cold Chisel is to Oz rock.

One of my favourite tracks:

I was really pissed off when they went back to DC scooper on vocals. John West is far better.

have you listened to much of West's solo stuff?  I only have Permanent Mark, but I think it's really good.  I think he did that one right before he did this RH album.

OMFG I am so happy. I got this box set for my birthday (my only wish) and it is AWESOME! The vinyls sound perfect, they're maybe the best sounding vinyls I own (possibly after Donald Fagen's Morph The Cat) and the Raritäten (rarities) vinyl has some amazing songs on it of which I knew some but not all.
The packaging is very detailed and high-quality. When I first saw the price (250€ for 6+1 albums) I was like wtf but now I think the price is totally worth it. Rammstein once again show how it's done. This is the vinyl box set to end all vinyl box sets.

If they were synthpop bands I guess :P

Yeah, they're a little more into electronic style than the quoted ones, but still have the ambient/sad/introspective vibe...
And if you consider the 180º shift in the sound style through the years, from black/doom/whatever metal to a more progressive/ambient/melodic/post rock vibe, the similarities only get bigger...

I lent it to a friend who later on claimed to have lost it. He said he lent it to his brother and his brother left it somewhere - or some bullshit like that. I went nuts trying to find it until I befriended someone who owned an independent record store. He ordered it for me. This was years ago. I've since lost it. Gods, I hate this story because it kills me. When we moved before my daughter was born (while I was still married), a box of my CDs went missing on moving day. Not only did I lose a lot of good regular CDs, but I lost hundreds of my Dream Theater bootlegs that I had archived on blank DVDs. I had close to a thousand bootlegs of theirs at that point. I digress...

The Valentine CD is awesome. I also loved the Hugo and Open Skyz CDs.

Well... it's definitely no To Pimp A Butterfly. He kind of did away with all the cool jazz and funk influences and unexpected changes in direction and made an album full of pretty straigtforward songs. I'm curious to see if my opinion will change after more listens but at first two listens I'm a little dissapointed, it's almost a bit boring at times.

Also what did they think when making this album cover  :lol

feels like this one starts pretty good but runs out of momentum after saved, felt really long for a sub-hour album. some good stuff here though but i prefer act ii, i think

But.. This Beautiful Life and Life and Death are arguably the best songs on the album. Not sure though, Mustard Gas, In Cauda Venenum and The Tank are also fantastic

Just gonna comment on the ones I haven't commented on yet

Anthropocentric: Way better than I imagined from random commenters on the internet. Everyone always praises Pelagial and doesn't talk about much else by this band, but this album is almost as good and maybe even better.
The Assassination of Julius Caesar: Fair enough, I briefly talked about it in the Ulver thread, but it's a really good album and more accessible than most Ulver music I heard. I've been loving his vocals on Winter Thrice by Borknagar a lot too which may be why I'm starting to get into their music a bit more.
Dirt: Not sure why I waited this long with checking out this album, it seems to have a legendary status. Well, it's pretty awesome, better than almost any grunge album I've heard in my life which isn't an incredibly high standard, but I really enjoyed it as work-out music.

anthropocentric is fine but it's definitely weaker than pelagial, doesn't pack as much of an emotional punch imo.
nor is it on par with disc 2 of precambrian, which grows on me the more i listen to it. stenian is friggin' amazing, too

(https://images.cryhavok.org/d/14204-1/Callisto+-+Noir.jpg)

the moments where they include sax or strings and give it a legit noir feel are pretty great but the post-metal on display here is pretty unremarkable in general. fine stuff but they should've just gone all out and made a metal bohren & der club of gore album really

I've been loving his vocals on Winter Thrice by Borknagar a lot too which may be why I'm starting to get into their music a bit more.
Have you checked his other project, Arcturus? The Sham Mirrors and La masquerade infernale are progressive, symphonic metal with some black and experimental stuff.  You may dig it  :P

Well, decided that, after listening to a lot of trip-hop, new albums from bands I already knew, and catching up with my gf's top 100, I'm finally giving roulette stuff full priority from now onwards - almost a year after it finished  :lol so yeah you'll be seeing me commenting on those albums pretty often here, twice: after a first spin, and after a few more some weeks later.

Portal of I: ohboi... on the one hand, this has got way too many blast beats and repetitive heavy sections for my taste, and on the other, there are plenty of great moments and ideas, mostly on Forget Not. Feels a bit one-dimensional imo. Will give it a few more listens just in case it grows, but I don't seem myself returning much to this.
Funeral: Feels kinda meandering on a first listen, but pretty nice album.
MCMXC a.D.: Although many of these sounds feel quite dated, I found the songwriting quite good overall, even if a bit cheesy.
Grace: Well, quite a weird album but a very interesting one. I can certainly see why it's said this guy had lots of potential.

The Apologist: 2/10 :neverusethis:
Dive: Pretty nice, relaxing electronic stuff a la Boards of Canada.
Impressions: Prob Mariusz' most abstract, ambient album. Definitely some interesting textures and soundscapes here tho.
The Great Cold Distance: Kinda like with Portal of I, another album that feels pretty much like 2 or 3 songs and variations of them. Solid songwriting and atmosphere, but after a couple tracks I feel I've already listened to it all.

2/10 but the 2 is actually a 10

Who Bit the Moon: Basically the songwriting of his first two EPs but with ECO's style, and less djent. It's... not bad actually, just feels pretty safe for him.
Pig Inside the Gentleman: Ohboi, some really amazing cinematic jazz. Doesn't really feel meandering and relies more in structure rather than improvisation. Me likey.
Blood Inside: Definitely their most complex, experimental album imo - there's so many genres I dunno how to describe it lel. Good stuff tho.

after giving these guys a few listens i think i've both identified why they don't work for me as strongly as el drugstore and why exactly el drugstore does work so well where so many other bands fail.

1. there's not really any reprieve moments, they go full throttle 95%+ of the time and it can get overwhelming
2. there's clearly a focus on the guitar here & there's outright no actual bass guitar apparently, it's lacking the instrumental synergy el drugstore (and even dysrhythmia) has
3. it's missing the hooks and memorable melodies that stick in your head. waltz of the swedish meatballs has one at the start but beyond that there's not much here i can really recall. plague ship is just. utterly bloated with all these kinds of hooks
4. lack of structure really. the songs just flow and flow without ever feeling cohesive, a mesh of ideas jammed together. this is a problem with a lot of prog really but it's pretty evident here.

and despite all that i still do think this is one of the better examples of the style & i am probably interested in picking this one up especially 'cause it's cheapo as heck everywhere, but i am gonna give their other album another spin too & see if i dig it more. i do like this, it's just lacking the qualities that make for a really great album.

also great album cover tbh

Sieges Even - Paramount

I really need to get some more Sieges Even. This is the only album of theirs that I have and I play it once or twice every few months. Each time I'm reminded of just how good an album this is.
Any recommendations as to what I should get next?

basically instrumental metal with a focus on weird technical stuff (rym has them labelled as tech death? i don't know if i agree with that but)

i'm trying to find bands like el drugstore because plague ship is friggin' incredible actually.

this isn't really that comparable anyways. plague ship is dissonant and sludgy and while there are moments of dissonance here it's def way more melodic

this isn't bad or anything but it isn't great either and doesn't really stand out to me in like, any way at all. i've listened through it twice and there's just nothing special about it. it's not like soen where they were doing nothing fresh but just doing it so well that the end result was engaging. this just isn't engaging at all. it feels really by-the-numbers. and again it's not bad or anything just, not good enough

today i've decided i'm going to try and figure out meshuggah

(https://www.metalsucks.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Meshuggah_-_The_Violent_Sleep_of_Reason-1.jpg)(https://www.metal-archives.com/images/7/4/1/6/74163.jpg?1855)

violent sleep: there's like, moments here where i *get* it, but then i lose it again. and then i try to figure out what it was that i was getting. i think the real concern is that it feels pretty monotonous
catch thirtythree: this one, however. why does nobody seem to talk about this one? it's arguably their most progressive given that it's literally just one long song. and it's also more dynamic? the whole half of in death - is death that's just chill clean stuff is a real change of pace & works well, and honestly this one just seems to have better riffs too. i dunno. it's not a fantastic album but it's one that i do want to relisten to, i think

i'm gonna give a few of their other albums a bit of a spin maybe but one of these two feels like my most likely shot at figuring out what meshuggah's appeal is. even then i may still end up not getting any of their albums if i'm not feeling them hard enough. i already have a lot of other stuff these are competing with

following up my meshuggah inquiry:

destroy erase improve - this is a strange album. it's not really what i'd expect from meshuggah & still kinda has their sound but is a lot more diverse and clearly less focused on technicality. but it was decent.
chaosphere - turned this off halfway lol, really boring to my ears
nothing (remaster) - made it most of the way through this one then turned it off near the end. there were a few songs i hear people mentioning as some of the band's best but to my ears everything here ESPECIALLY sounds exactly the same
obzen - i listened to bleed, which i still dislike. i listened to dancers, which i am still indifferent to. my distaste for bleed made me decide to not listen to the rest of this, and i've already checked out most of it in the past anyways
koloss - tbh i just listened to scattered songs from this one after reading the meshuggah thread. seems ok. a lot slower than their other albums but also a bit more melodic.

i dunno why i spent so much time on this. i feel like if i get any album it'll just be catch 33 but we'll have to see. i don't wanna wait too much longer to order stuff

I feel largely the same about Meshuggah. I like a few songs here and there but the albums are just repetitive slogs. Obzen, Contradictions Collapse (this one only because it's a weird fusion of proto-Meshuggah and 80's thrash, less bludgeoning repetition and more straight up aggression), and Catch 33 seem the most interesting to me. Nothing bores the absolute fuck out of me. I listened to that one a bunch of times trying to identify why it's so well liked by fans but I just couldn't find anything there. I kinda dig Koloss for its mindless heaviness and straightforward brutality, but I only really like about half of the album.

Post by: Crow on April 24, 2017, 11:46:03 PM
there is at least a notable difference in a few meshuggah albums.

but really honestly. chaosphere, nothing, obzen, koloss, and violent sleep are all pretty interchangeable for the most part, as far as i've listened. so.

i relistened to catch-33 and the first third of it is pretty meh but once it gets to mind's mirrors from there onwards it's much less of a standard meshuggah album and as a result more interesting. though i still wouldn't say i really love it. it's a solid album. i might pick it up eventually but i don't think it's gonna make my set this time around

Lechuga: Besides from the great Entre 2 Mundos, this is just solid progressive metal with some djent here and there. Good stuff.
The Miraculous: I think the general opinion is the ambient/drone songs here kinda put this down and I agree - they're not bad at all, just not as interesting as the rest of the songs, which are just awesome.
Royal Blood: Reminds me of QotSA, Muse, some The White Stripes and Arctic Monkeys. Although it doesn't really reinvent anything, it's just quite solid, catchy, noisy rock songs. Me likey.
An Empty Bliss Beyond this World: I actually really like this, something that doesn't happen often (almost never) with ambient music. Probably because most songs are quite short, and they're basically old 1920s swing songs slowed down and drowning in reverb and vinyl grain. And honestly? I dig it, it's quite an immersive listen - have always had a soft spot for that kinda of old jazz/dixieland stuff.

Ys: Ok actually forgot to post about this last week lel. Quite interesting chamber folk stuff, yet I'm still not into her vocals that much. Has a bit of a medieval flavour at times that I quite like.
Mirror's Edge: Actually first time listening to this (outside the game I mean), and I'm surprised by its quality. Very good electronic stuff - fits the game perfect, sounds great on its own.
Twin Peaks: And more soundtracks! Had forgotten how great this one was, even if some sounds a bit cheesy and outdated, can't help but feel immersed into the world of the series again. Really digging those jazzy tracks. Hoping the new season delivers.
Pimp Master: Despite the name, it's not hip-hop :lol. Actually some crazy japanese jazz, very energetic, but never meandering and quite fun. Really good.

this is good, but not as good as paleopneumatic i think. the first few tracks are nothing special but it picks up at around track 5 & until near the end stays pretty interesting and diverse. ending is weak too though, but so was paleopneumatic's so ehh.

First time listening to Cave In, don't know why but I decided to give them a shot today (after having them on my radar for years). This is pretty much up my alley and I think I could really dig this band  :corn

Man, I haven't listened to this album in a long time.

What are your thoughts on Spirit? For me, it's not resonating right away, like Delta Machine and Songs of the Universe did. Hopefully it grows on me, but so far, not.

Haven't listened it enough to form a solid opinion, but i like it quite a bit!

Better than Delta Machine for me sure, not so sure about being better than Sounds of the Universe or Playing The Angel though..

It's a weird one but not too bad - like a weird combination of Queensryche, Styx and Rush (probably not what you'd expect from the cover).    I've heard a lot worse but not something I'd be rushing out to get either.

Hacride - Lazarus: Okay this is the best Hacride album no doubt.
Ulver - The Assassination of Julius Caesar: Prooobably AOTY so far, amazing album. I checked out Blood Inside as well and that one's awesome too (specially "It Is Not Sound", that might be my favourite Ulver song so far). I want more vocal-centered Ulver stuff like this.
Pain of Salvation - In the Passing Light of Day: Starts out really strong, On A Tuesday is easily the best song on the album. They kind of lose me near the end, especially the closer is kind of a letdown, it could've been a pretty sweet 5-minute song though.
Astronoid - Air: The second happiest blast beasts I have heard in my life. Man this album is just a lot of fun to listen to.
He Is Legend - few: Pretty much like all of their albums I heard so far. A few good songs here and there but mostly not that interesting. Still gonna see them on sunday though because it's free. For some reason it really bothers me that they didn't capitalize the "f" in the album title. Just WHYYY would you do that?!?
Poly-Math - Melencolia: After talking to them after the show found out that they're actually big Mars Volta fans and it kinda shows, but it's mostly post-rock with a slgiht prog edge. Really good stuff.

It's my favourite PF album actually, I just love the unique psychedelic sound and Syd's fairytale like lyrics. And yeah it's definitily up against some amazing albums, which might nog help especially if people expect the sound of those albums on the Piper.

What do you think of the Ayreon?
I like it, it's not as mindblowing as THE but it still sounds like a very solid Ayreon album at first listen.

It's extremely different from their later stuff. It's very dreamy and surreal. Like you said, especially with Syd's lyrics.

Welp, finally got around this one. Kinda reminds me of mew at parts, but these guys definitely play a subtler, less complex style. Yet quite a unique, beautiful one. Pretty interesting stuff, will give it more listens.

U2 - War
U2 - October

Really like the raw sound of the first 3 albums. Much as I enjoy the Eno/Lanois albums that followed, War Boy and October are where I started with U2 (I followed them from the beginning) and they're still my sentimental favourites. Once Rattle and Hum came out and they really hit the big time, they started to lose me a bit. Still enjoyed them, but not as much.

WTF is this?

basically a Paul Sabu one-off/solo effort.  He's the lead vocalist/guitarist of Only Child if you've heard them.  Sounds a lot like Sammy Hagar to me.

Only Child were in one of the 1988 podcasts , I know that - so Tim has heard Sabu.   And yeah - he has a definite Hagar vibe.

We got it from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service: I'm not really a fan of The Low End Theory (it's just too boring), so took some friends a bae to make me listen to this new one. And it's good! Definitely way more interesting in every sense. Prob too political for my tastes, but good music here, digging that jazz-rap sound.
For Long Tomorrow: Wow, I'm really not into math rock but this is excellent. Quite a chill, beautiful album with lots of post-rock and a few electronics here and there. Amazing drumming, although I feel sometimes it's a bit overplayed. @Parama, @Zantera, check this one out (https://toe-music.bandcamp.com/album/for-long-tomorrow).
Caravan Palace: Hell yeah, electro swing. Quite catchy and fun. Yup I dig it.
Here Be Dragons: Very interesting record, a very experimental one - kinda like an electronic darkjazz album? There's even a bit of trip-hop here as well. Also I love that cover.
The Assassination of Julius Caesar: Fuck, probably AOTY for me rn. So catchy I can't even.

Plain old iTunesim afraid. There is a rerelease cd on Amazon for £10.
The Stream was on YouTube and yes, Eric Singer has been in the band. This album has Jay Schellen, David Reece, Dave Spitz and Peter Scheithauer  on guitar (never heard of him 😀 But he's ok)

Mew: I'm really loving Visuals, there are a few tracks that don't stand out too much, but it has some really solid songs.

Massive Attack: Been meaning to check out this band for quite some time, Sacul recommended me this album so I went with it. I really enjoyed it, such a chill sound. I do think it is something I have to be in the mood for, but it was pretty suitable for a pretty hungover morning  :P At times there's a little bit too much cheese for my tastes tho  :P

Ayreon: It has grown a little bit on me, but it's not too special. I really love some moments tho, Zaher Zorgati's vocals for example, they are a surprising good fit for Ayreon's music.

I played it myself for the first time in a long time about a month ago. I was never huge into Queen, but my wife is, and has the catalog. Such a GREAT record. Amazing, really.

As you know I love them - the debut made my DTF Top 50.   Harry Cody should've been bigger.   Their third album Violent New Breed is one of the few albums that I literally tossed in the bin.

Well it's quality from start to finish and the production is fantastic (almost Mood Swings level)  but for me , even though it's clearly better that the cookie cutter stuff we see everywhere and has the odd moment of brilliance,  it lacks that hugely memorable song. Compared to their intricate earlier material , chock full of memorable melodies , it seems pedestrian but very few bands as "mature" as these guys are releasing material to compare with their prime so in that context it's a strong effort.   It needs another listen but at the moment I would say low 80's.

Aura: I was quite into this during the first song, thinking I had finally found a black metal album I could enjoy, because of that great play between calmed, beautiful folky parts and the brutal sections, mostly when the flute appeared on these. But then the rest of the song emulated the same formula, and the drumming was like 50% blasts beats if not more and it got repetitive and... dunno, couldn't even finish it lel. Felt I was listening to the same song over and over. Not my thing I guess.
Holy Fire: Interesting how the album in general is pretty different from Inhaler. Good stuff.
Finally We Are No One: Been meaning to get into this for a while, because I love the first three tracks and... it's kinda great? I mean, would have liked more songs with prominent vocals, as I feel several of these instrumental tracks aren't really all that interesting on their own, but in general it was a very interesting listen. Will definitely return to it, and prob check their previous album too one day.
Cold Roses: Eh, boring and dull dad music americana/country stuff. I guess they're way better live, since their song I got in my roulette was excellent.
Kind of Blue: Finally trying to get into some classic jazz, going the easy way with this one. And yeah it's pretty cool, quite atmospheric and chill and not as meandering as I had feared. Will definitely revisit.

It's been an excellent past few weeks for new releases.  Only one that disappointed me was Until Rain.

Not heard the Helker yet, nor Warrant. Never heard of Until Rain but doesn't sound like I'm missing much.
The Harem Scarem was good. The MindMaze and Pyramaze were excellent. Liked the Vandroya but need more plays.

The Harem Scarem was good. The MindMaze and Pyramaze were excellent. Liked the Vandroya but need more plays.

Helker was excellent, with (naturally) an amazing cover of Neon Knights.  Warrant was solid  ;).  I really liked Until Rain's first few albums, so this was highly disappointing.

Axe to Fall: Holy shit, this is fucking crushing, probably even more than Jane Doe, but without feeling repetitive at all. But also less chaotic and a bit more strightforward - there are even a couple solos lel. But what surprised me is that there is a ballad here, and the last two tracks are actually fairly atmospheric and beautiful before becoming pure rage, but beautiful songs. Very interesting album and band.
Immunity: Some very, very nice electronic music, cool beats and great production, and awesome ambient patches and pianos - the last track is pure beauty. No wonder why this is so praised.

Andy James - Exodus. Pretty essential modern shred album.

Waken Eyes - Exodus.

Stupid Google Play Music uploadedhe Andy James into the Waken Eyes folderecause the albums have the same name. Made listening interesting as it alternated the instrumental of Andy with WE's vocal tracks.

Not a fan of DC Cooper RH and I've fallen out of love with live albums. Would probably watch DVDs of both though.

The RH live DVD from a few years ago with John West was a missed opportunity. His vocals looked dubbed, which he then denied, and I can't bring myself to watch it. Hate when the pic and audio don't match. I just can't unsee it.

I've never been able to get into RH myself, and I'm really not a fan of DC Cooper. I retyped DC Cooper three times because I kept typing DB Cooper.

Vanden Plas always put out some decent music. They're on my Spotify playlist and their songs always come off as catchy and well written.

Some new stuff from last week that forgot to post, and some from this week.

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2477559504_16.jpg) (https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/02/24/article-2105938-11E362FA000005DC-100_468x467.jpg) (https://rustnbones.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/the-cardigans-gran-turismo-album-cover.jpg) (https://img2-ak.lst.fm/i/u/ar0/d916fbd7b9204efaa65d9d12ef684ce8) (https://product-images.highwire.com/4636287/2.jpg) (https://www.sherwood.it/public/images/The_Cure-Disintegration-Album_Cover.jpg) (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b0/Talk_Talk_-_Spirit_of_Eden_cover.jpg)

Void Mother: First time giving it a full listen, and I kinda like it a lot? Wasn't really sure I'd dig it but I do! Excellent heavy, monolithic guitars, and haunting, almost demonic female vocals. Really liking those soft interludes with distant pianos or oriental/tribal instrumentation. Kinda gives the whole record a bit of a occult vibe without being cheesy at all.

Ziggy: I'm not really a fan of Low and Heroes so gave this a spin more because it's an iconic album and all that jazz. And I'm liking actually, nice.

Gran Turismo: Wasn't expecting to like this either, since the song I got in the roulette (Marvel Hill) I found kinda underwhelming, but damn, this is quite good. After 3 iistens I'm convinced the song I got is one of the weakest here :lol Very good indie pop album with nice electronic bits. Kinda reminds me of Transistor's OST, maybe Darren Korb took some inspiration from here?

The Inner Mounting Flame: Now I realise this is quite a big influence for LTE, and this got some really good jams and vibes. It's kind of a tiring listen, but there's quite bit of great musicianship here.

Family Dinner: Have always been a bit of a passive listener of them, enjoying some of their songs when they appeared on plug sessions but only now giving them a proper listen. Holy shit, this is excellent stuff! They're such a nice, comfy, happy jazz fusion band, and these live performances are brilliant and full of passion. Will definitely revisit this one and delve deeper into them.

Disintegration: Along with catching up with roulette stuff, I'm also listening to some iconic albums regardless of genre and age as of late, so was curious to try this one. Mmnnnn... on the one hand it's not too heavy on cheesy 80s tropes and production all the time and the songwriting is good. On the other hand, sometimes it goes way too 80s for my taste. I'll revisit it just out of curiosity, maybe it will grow on me.

Spirit of Eden: And here's another 80s album, yet one that hardly sounds from that era. In fact, it's so departed from any mainstream style that one would have no clue of when it was released in a blind listen. I find the writing and recording approach very interesting, yet I wasn't really into Laughing Stock, it felt too disjointed and sparse for me. This one has a bit more of structure and some really good climaxes and melodies. Definitely less ambient and more interesting - I can see why this band was so influential for post-rock.

i should do this kind of thing again woops

ayreon: i don't feel like this is his strong ayreon release at all but it's not the weakest either. would probably place it somewhere around the middle? above actual fantasy, ttoe, and the final experiment but not any higher. last disc kind of regressed towards closer to a TTOE style and some of the tracks get lost in the shuffle, and there's a few others that could be wholly discarded (all that was and into the ocean stand out as notably weak) but there's songs i like a fair bit here too. the day that the world breaks down, everybody dies, star of sirrah, run apocalypse run, and planet y is alive are prob my favorites? so yeah disc 1 is a lot stronger than disc 2. ok. it's a decent ayreon album
dodecahedron: honestly i feel it hard to form an opinion on this even after all of the listens i gave it. i think they do the slower, chuggy grooves and atmospheric moments better than the really intense ones but the way this album ebbs and flows is interesting for sure & it's a very compact experience in a good way. i think some of the noisier parts still need to sink in for me though. it's a tough nut to crack but i find myself wanting to listen to it more
the receiving end of sirens: there's a few tracks here that aren't as strong but i don't think there are any bad tracks here. the standouts haven't really changed since my first few listens. the opener, the salesman, and the last two tracks are all the best but stay small and a realization of the ear are pretty great too. smoke and mirrors has a kind of grating nu-metally chorus which is a shame since the rest is really great, saturnus kind of lacks an identity. those are about the only criticisms i have really. i like this a fair bit though not as much as i'd hoped

some new releases i listened to this weekend
solstafir - better than i expected, though the first few tracks are a bit meh the rest seemed pretty alright & more in line with what i like to see from them. will probably at least relisten
ny in 64 - feels heavier than their first album & probably a bit better but there's something about this project's sound that doesn't work for me like east of the wall and el drugstore do
avatarium - honestly only listened to about half of this, not really for me but it's okay. i feel like sacul would probably like this for some reason
barrows - a bit long winded maybe but it's decent stuff. at least going to be worth a relisten. i kind of. don't remember a ton about it though

I had only intended on listening to a few tracks but I ended up listening to most of the album. In my opinion this the most underrated album in WASPs discography. Also Trail of Tears is getting close to overtaking Stone Cold Killers as my favorite from the album.

I still think this album cover is hideous but it's one of my favorite electronic music albums. Lots of acoustic instruments as usual from Shpongle (flutes, acoustic and electric guitars, some real drum and bass in there as well). Every song/segment flows seamlessly into the next, a journey through different types of music, continents and cultures. Simon Posford is just a genius in my book.

Am too lazy to browse each individual pic so I'll just post the whole week here. Well, last week, I'll comment on some I didn't already :P

(https://i.imgur.com/QQEgEjR.jpg)

Whatever: whatever/10

Idmen: Definitely more original than most prog, no, just metal out there. Very interesting of world music and tribal sounds with very aggressive and dynamic music. Closest band I can think of is Riverside but these guys got a sound much of their own.

Innuendo: I really love the title track, and kinda expected the rest of the album to be like is. Ohdamn  :lol It's a good record, and will prob revisit it, but I guess I'll just have to accept the title track and the rest of the album feel almost like they were from two different records.

Lighghtghthghthgghttgh: Mnnn quite interesting, colorful, sugar-ish... dream/folk/pop? Cool roulette stuff.

Ceremonials: And more roulette stuff. I love Seven Devils, and the album kinda doesn't really go into that direction most of the time? Dunno, it's nice chamber pop stuff so I guess I'll give it more chances.

Long Season: I feel this is slowly growing on me, and may eventually love it. It's really a wonderful, very joyful song without being cheesy at all. Very atmospheric and dreamy, and kinda experimental without being pretentious.

Lingering
Oh boy, I expected that I had to wait another day before being able to listen to this. It's hard to judge after one listen but it definitely does not dissapoint. I think as an album this one has SPP's flow so far.

Berdreyminn
It's better than I expected based on the singles but I feel that overall it lacks some of the beauty of their previous album. There are some really good moments tho.

Heirs
Decided to check more from this band as I'm going to see them live (they visit my home town and tickets are very cheap). The mix between post-rock and energetic math-rock is pretty great but also a little tiring at times. I do like the happy vibes.

I remember us discussing that we were both at that show and others.  Small world.

This week, I've been listening to all of Paul Gilbert's solo albums.  Good god, what fantastic stuff.  Seriously outrageous.  Great playing and shockingly good songwriting.  When you can take a song like Bivalve Blues, write it from the perspective of, well, a bivalve at the bottom of the ocean, and make a killer slow blues jam out of it, that's fucking cool.

I have the album from release on vinyl - they were in Kerrang I think. They supported someone in the UK I think, but can't remember who. Or the old memory might be playing up again  :biggrin:

Quick trip to Wikipedia - it could have been as support to Bryan Adams. I did see his Waking Up The Neighbours Tour.

new music friday nice.
elder - this is pretty solid. doesn't really feel like it's breaking any new ground for them though? like i dunno if i'd buy this. it's solid stuff but they're really just sticking to their guns & i already have two albums of that
sikth - the vocals are still annoying at moments & the talky tracks are bleh but it seems less "wacky" here than on their other albums, so it's alright. and musically there's some cool stuff going on. may check this one out again, dunno

also i need to do this, dang.

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1817628225_16.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1393226554_10.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1817644260_10.jpg)

the hirsch effekt - yeah, i do feel this is the weakest of their three albums but. that's kind of a high bar to hit. mostly i think this one is a bit unfocused? there's a lot of stuff here. math rock, glitchy idm, post-hardcore, prog metal stuff, occasionally some folk touches & mathcore touches. it's a friggin' dynamic album but a lot of the songs are disjointed & it flows way more as an album than as individual songs, which is not something i would say about their other releases. but i still enjoy it quite a bit, it's kind of fascinating in a trainwreck-y sort of way
minsk - this doesn't really have any moments where it really..."grabs" me, but it's solid front-to-back. i guess i'm not a huge fan of track two but that's a small, small fraction of the album. i feel like i'm missing something though, like it hasn't quite clicked. maybe it's the vocal style, it's a bit strange for the genre. i'm still interested in giving this more spins though for sure
planning for burial - i feel like the more i listen to this the less it does for me. the shorter tracks are all just "okay", and the longer tracks... being a teenager stuck out on first listen but it loses its power on relistens. verse/chorus/verse is prob the only song that's got better, the 13 min ambient closer is just a bit too minimal and motionless to be compelling for its length really. maybe a bit disappointed by this one, it's not bad but it's not great either

but it's... interesting.
anyways, since this is probably going to be hard as hell to buy, i just did because $14 is not a bad price since they have free shipping until literally tomorrow only

so. that's nice

Not sure how many of my peeps have checked out the Wolfpakk album, but (notwithstanding Brent's general lack of interest in multi-vocalist albums), it's very good - when you disregard the first two tracks.  Ronnie Atkins is absolutely killer on Mother Earth.  Also, I gotta pimp out Soulspell as well - with contributions by Matos, Scheepers, Hartmann, Ripper, Blaze and more .... how can you go wrong?

Nightflight Orchestra was the most memorable, with Jorn a close second.

A few in there I am about to check out and expecting to like.  I don't write off multi,multi-vocalist albums.........just seems that when I do check them out it's usually a case of "too many cooks" and the songs ain't there , especially when the singers are just hired guns . 

I will certainly check out the Wolfpakk.  I will say though that Michael Voss hasn't written much that I consider better than okay for a while.

I personally find it quite liberating when I'm feeling tense or anxious, and the intensity and heaviness works better imo when it's a true expression of angst and the like. I really like it when it's the fuel for some creative, groundbreaking music like NIN, Refused, or Converge. Somehow I tend to find that heavy/extreme music without some degree of anger to be quite dull, maybe that explains why I'm really not into death or black metal lel. But this is just my opinion.

Yeah, both are enter than I expected. Purchase worthy.

i wish i understood the appeal of angry music

It's nice sometimes and works as a catharsis for me. I don't even necessarily have to be angry or upset to listen to Converge, but I feel like any time I put them on, I come out of the album feeling more at peace afterwards.

i think i actually might prefer this to dodecahedron, this feels more rooted in sludgier grooves that i really dig. i don't think i'm gonna get it just yet though but it'll definitely be on the list in my next big haul. unless i can't find anything i want more than it which is possible?

Last week:

(https://i.imgur.com/KiJVth9.jpg) (https://imgur.com/KiJVth9)

Souvlaki: I'm not into shoegaze like My Bloody Valentine and Alcest, so just gave this a listen because it's an iconic album and that jazz. And I actually kinda liked it?!? Very dreamy, layered, and lots of emotions and none of the vacuum-cleaners. Watched Pitchfork's documentary on this album and damn, poor kids. Gonna relisten definitely.

Frengers: More roulette stuff. Yup this is very nice. Will revisit.

Birds: Even more roulette stuff, Fluffy (RIP) sent me Ruby Nights, and the album is kinda like that and not really half and half. Kinda like the soft chamber folk mom would listen to but actually well-written. Kinda curious how she seems to be only known in New Zealand :P

Dopesmoker: I think I'd definitely love this if I was high, but since drugs are for losers, I guess I'll just have to appreciate it as it is. Many awesome sections but damn this one takes quite some time to start getting interesting. Curious how it wil grow on me.

Metamorph: Roulette stuff part 3. Is this like some kind of prog but with a pop-ish approach and lots of cool synths? I like it.

Everything Goes Numb: Roulette Stuff IV: The Return of the Fluffy. I really despite all the lame generic-ass ska bands from here, but i'm diggin this! Pretty creative, well-written stuff.

Be: Roulette st- yeah. Not really a fan of this band but got Iter Impius and was pretty cool so why not trying this one. Hey, it's not half bad! Glad Daniel's annoying vocal noises and almost-beatbox-rhythms aren't really here, and there's quite a good amount of folk ballads. Except for the bad spoken parts, I'm liking it.

In Rainbows: Wtf this really bored me before but now I think it's kind of awesome? Damn I need to listen to more of these guys.

Ceremonials: I love Seven Devils but damn the rest of this album is quite boring  :'(

Axe to Fall: Fuck, this is awesome. Heavy and angry as hell but so well-written and even with a ballad. I need more Converge.

Holy Fire: First two tracks = awesome. The rest = meh.

Finally We Are No One: Really lovely album, slowly getting into the more electronic, instrumental tracks. Wished there was more stuff like this. Will eventually try their previous record.

The Great Misdirect: Dunno how many listens I've given to this one but still haven't properly digested it lel Excellent stuff tho.

Kind of Blue: First two tracks are awesome, and the rest ain't bad at all. I'll very slowly get into jazz I guess.

Automatic for the People and Boxer: Yeah, really not my thing at all.

 :omg: Damn, well this exceeded my expections. It could be new album hype but I feel like they continued the ascending line of quality they had with each album so far. It has some similarities in style with Lore but is more melodic and psychedelic, bringing the prog influences more to the front. I also feel the songs are structured slightly better than Lore, because as great as that album is, there are a few parts were some repetitions get a little tedious, which is hardly ever the case in Reflections of a Floating World.

(https://pp.userapi.com/c626523/v626523328/62aba/tbUNZL6rMHU.jpg)
The new Eidola album is pretty solid, just as their previous album some solid post-hardcore with nice prog influences. Their titles are getting a little silly do, where they purposely try to sound deep and spiritual: Transcendentium, Pt. I: Zoroastrian Come on guys  :lol



but since drugs are for losers, I guess I'll just have to appreciate it as it is.

Solstafir: It's good is all I can say during my first listen. Naros is :hefdaddy but apart from that it is average Solstafir from what I've heard from them so far, which isn't bad. They're just a very consistent band. Will need more listens though
SikTh: I avoided the singles and was planning to avoid the album because SikTh just wasn't my cup of tea (although I do still like Opacities a lot, the 'less weird' SikTh release). Someone recommended this to me saying it's not as weird and damn, it's very strong. Still has some hints to a more alternative metal direction but offers the crazy shit in acceptable doses. Right now one of the best first impressions of a 2017 album.
Mechina: This is kind of weird but also really cool. Very futuristic sounding symphonic chants and synths with dynamic as fuck drums backing it up. Quite some different types of music combined here but they do it in a pretty subtle way that isn't distracting. Pretty sure I'll have to send this shit in Parama's roulette :corn
Ulsect: Kind of overplayed the 3 singles before the release anticipating their show, but seeing them live made me excited for this again. And all I can say now is the album is just a strong blend of post-metal like atmospheres and more extreme deathmetal like stuff. Wouldn't say it's unique in any way, but it's pretty great for what it is. Besides Artificial Language's "The Observer", this is probably my favourite album by a new band of 2017.

this is fine enough atmospheric black metal stuff & the tribal influences don't feel like a gimmick as much as an integrated part of the sound of the album, but

it just doesn't really stir any emotions in me, i dunno. i don't mind listening to it sure but it doesn't really have any standout qualities

eluvium - man, eluvium is just such nice & dense music. i just love the sound. and it's cool how the three albums i have are also pretty instrumentally different. this one's primarily piano & strings, talk amongst the trees is heavily guitar-driven, and false readings on is driven by synth stuff mostly. so they all end up pretty distinct. i dunno which is my favorite, they're all good tbh
fen - too early for me to be really having a fully formed opinion because this is long & complex but there's a lot i like here. it's a good middle ground between prog metal and atmospheric black metal & does both pretty well. i like it but it needs more listens to really sink in i think
khonsu - now this i know i love. dang. the three longer tracks especially but the rest is good too. it's like if hacride had black metal influences & also wrote a space opera. Kind of. i dunno i just like this a lot lol. i'd send this in a lot of roulettes, if there were any to send it in, hint hint

It may not be the popular choice but I love this album.


If we followed the popular choice, we wouldn't be on DTF in the first place, right?

this is fine enough atmospheric black metal stuff & the tribal influences don't feel like a gimmick as much as an integrated part of the sound of the album, but

it just doesn't really stir any emotions in me, i dunno. i don't mind listening to it sure but it doesn't really have any standout qualities

Still my favorite album of the year. Shame you don't love it, but atleast you listened to it.

You haven't listened to much then, have you?  This was pretty run-of-the-mill prog-metal.

The issue I have with NtN is that they wouldn't be getting much/any attention - and no one would give two shits about them - if the drummer's name was Max Anderson/Jackson/Miller....

How they get the attention is irrelevant to me. It's what the music sounds like that I pay attention to. He might have got the push from his father, but they still have to make music that people want to continuously listen to.

I agree. That being said, instrumentally, I can dig what they are doing it's the vocals that really lose me.

Here is the single from the album:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usnsetwZsxc

Max is a really good drummer, I like some of the other instrumentation, but the vocals are something I probably can't get past. Dude isn't a good singer or screamer for my ears.

Last week, I'll just comment on the highlights and the disappointments:

(https://i.imgur.com/udCTeBy.jpg)

S.C.I.E.N.C.E.: Actually didn't expect to like this much, but holy shit, this is excellent. Like if Faith No More and Rage Against the Machine had a kid who owned a sampler and some drum machines.

Winterwell: Roulette stuff, really like the song I got from this, but the rest is rather very forgettable piano-driven singer-songwriter stuff that occasionally has electronics.

Immersion: Didn't sound that different from something Celldweller would do. Not bad, but sounds a bit dated these days.

Ten: Liked the first track, but with every song I just lost interest very fast, and not even Black did much to me. Not my thing.

Superunknown: Funny how I got into this album just a day or two before Chris died. Well, sad actually, because this is quite a rocker and is making me think not all grunge out there is oblivious :P

Disintegration: Wasn't very keen on it, but a closer listen plus a walk by town have made this grow quite a bit. Still not that fond of the production, but at least is not as overproduced as many 80s albums. Sad tunes.
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Sacul on June 12, 2017, 12:16:55 AM
Had a bit of free time so managed to listen to two more that weren't included in the pic to replace the Pearl Jam and Mree records and keep the pace:

(https://www.kscopemusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/KSCOPE318-COVER1-1024x1024.jpg)(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e9/3d/2c/e93d2ce29f8630eefb89901fd670e5c8.jpg)

Cheating the Polygraph: Finally got around this one, very interesting jazz versions of many Porcupine Tree classics. Glad he decided to go with a more "old-school" sound than a 50s-60s jazz approach (I know nothing about jazz so bear me on this  :facepalm: ). Like my gf said, like it was Whiplash arrangements of them.

宇宙 日本 世田谷 (Uchū Nippon Setagaya): I just call it "their '97 album" :lol. A friend heavily recommend me this other of their records, knowing I dig the wonderful Long Season. And fuck, he was right. This is very, very chill, soft, atmospheric, almost dreamy but without any of the cheese and lame production many of these bands had in the late 90s/early 00s. Kinda trip-hop-ish, it reminds me of No-Man - Flowermouth. I think I'm in love with it, those synths and pads, and the sampled drums and the violins aahhh :dangerwillrobinson:. Just gorgeous stuff, perfect for warm Spring day.

An album from a swedish group that was lost... the tapes were stolen from the norwegian studio in 1995 an almost blown up.
The norwegian army were about to blow up a hut in the mountains in 2015 when they found a box containing tapes.
The box was labelled "Nidaros studios" and the tapes "Nurse 1995". The officer ordered the explosion with content and all but  a music interested soldier recognised the studio and rescued the box.
The owner of the studio was contacted and he contacted the band whos debut album was released this year. 22 years after the recording.

The musciscians have all made careers in music since 1995... just not together. This year though they released their eccellent debut and have played a couole of shows.

For fans of bands like Jellyfish, E.L.O, City Boy and 10 CC

I admit it.  I do like a good amount of the songs on this album.  Nickelback did all right in this new album.

And no, I cannot turn in my man card/metal card/whatever macho card for liking a Nickelback album, because I never had those cards in the first place, so whatevs.  I like a Nickelback album and I'm not going to be thinking otherwise.

blindead: oh man i like this more than i initially was expecting to. it's basically just one long song or one suite or something. i guess more of a suite, each track does feel like a cohesive song but they all flow together well. anyways this basically just feels like a mashup of katatonia-style emotive doom with post-metal and that's a combination that works really well apparently. the closer is probably my favorite (the back half gives me chills tbh) but really the entire thing is good and the post-metal stuff itself is far from generic. like there's a sax in the background of the second track for one & there are several tracks that are a lot more laidback and atmospheric but just as many heavy and intense ones. it's. really good stuff
dredg: yeah this is okay. I think  i could've done without the brushstroke tracks entirely... the piano one is the only one that feels like it has much merit to it. and the middle of the album feels a bit forgettable. everything between sorry but it's over and it only took a day feels a bit filler-y to me tbh. the last three tracks on the album though are all great & are probably the reason why i got this album in the first place. but yeah. i guess i'm just not a huge fan of the singer in general, his delivery feels really flat a lot of the time but he carries his weight on a few songs. and musically it's pretty diverse though not always compelling. i like this but don't love it.
enslaved: these songs all feel really basic tbh and that might be why i haven't really gotten too into this one yet? the opener is good and havenless is good and the rest are... solid. the crossing is probably the weakest track here though, it's kind of a mess & no part of it really stands out at all, it's just long in a dull way. the closer also ends really well & queen of night gives off some serious opeth vibes in a good way. i do like this but it's not on the level of riitiir for me, honestly. not really even close.

Well forgot to post this earlier since I actually finished with the albums on Thursday because I went to visit my gf over Friday and the weekend.

(https://i.imgur.com/y5i5jXR.jpg)

The Mantle
: Dunno, on the one hand it's pretty nice when it's not black metal, the post-rock and folk here are great. On the other hand, there's the black metal :lol I guess I'll just give it more listens and see what happens.

Selected Ambient Works 85-92: Finally getting into some classic electronic albums. And this ain't bad for the most part I guess. Really visionary stuff despite some sounds feeling quite dated these days.

Uroboros: Probably a bit too heavy for my taste but damn this is some tight, experimental metal from Japan. The vocals are demented and songs change of style and mood pretty quick so it doesn't get too grating.

Coal: Well finally giving them a proper chance. I guess I like this more than Bilateral, but still am not into this band for some reason, despite them being up my alley in theory.

Aenima: Also giving Tool a last, proper chance. I thinki I like this one more than Lateralus. which isn't saying much I think :lol

Spirit of Eden: Second and third song are amazing, and the rest are nice. Definitely better than Laughing Stock imo. Also that John Cope bonus track is excellent. I think I'll check The Colour of Spring and the Mark Hollis albums eventually.

Aenima is too much of an angry album for me to like much and half of 10,000 days is reeeeeally boring
Lateralus is the only album where they really got it right imo

Big pop mood lately:  Boston, Cheap Trick, Night Ranger...  I hit up "A Different Kind of Truth" last week for the first time in a long time and it was even better than I remember (and it was my album of the year, barely ahead of Flying Colors). 

Though I've been working through the Neal Morse catalogue; I started with One - then ?, Sola Scriptura, Lifeline (Special Edition), Momentum, and I just listened to "The Grand Experiment" last night.   HOLY CRAP.  Every record is amazing, and every one is just that much better than the one before.  TGE is a little different (thus, I guess, the "Neal Morse Band" designation) but it is unbelievable.    My wife makes fun of me (she's making fun of the prog, but she calls it my "Jesus music") but even she was like "that song (it was 'Agenda') was really good."

Slowdive:
This is starting to grow on me a lot. I found it kind of boring on my first listen as some of the music isn't that interesting but I'm appreciating the sounds more and more and I'm actually starting to love this quite a bit.

Melodrama:
I do like this, but it does feel a bit less unique as Pure Heroine. I'm not loving the more poppy/mainstream focus is on some tracks eventhough they're still very much Lorde's take on such tracks. I'll wonder how I'll feel about it after more listens...

checkin out dem new stuff

algiers: this feels like it leans more towards the rock and industrial elements of their sound rather than the gospel sounds, but it doesn't abandon them entirely either. as a result i feel like it maybe has a bit less "personality" but feels more up my alley and i'm definitely gonna revisit it
bent knee: definitely feels like they figured out how to write songs again, though i don't find this style as emotionally compelling as shiny eyed babies. on first listen though definitely feels like a huge step up from say so at least

(https://www.metal-archives.com/images/2/2/3/7/223730.jpg)(https://www.invisibleoranges.com/files/2011/12/Electro-Quarterstaff-Akroyd-1024x1024.jpg)(https://www.metalinjection.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/leprous-coal-c78659.jpg)

posting up them haul comments

blut aus nord: there's something viscerally raw about this album, which i find appeals to me quite a bit even if i can't say a ton of the tracks are really that memorable? except the ending of antithesis of the flesh that's some friggin' intense and memorable stuff. but no this is good. i definitely want to keep listening to it and picking apart all the little details, it's just well-crafted black metal that manages to be both beautiful and intense. i'm definitely interested in checking out the more industrial side of blut aus nord too, gonna get another thing from them in my next batch of albums for sure
electro quarterstaff: this was a mistake. there's just no finesse or tact to this music like el drugstore or even most keelhaul. nothing is really that memorable, they don't use dissonance in any interesting fashion, just to create discordant, shapeless noise. i can remember the first track and i can remember one single passage from the third and fourth tracks each, and the rest of this after close to a dozen listens is just. nothing. i guess i'll have to give up on finding anything at all than can compare to el drugstore because it probably doesn't exist unfortunately
leprous: i do feel this is inferior to the other leprous albums i have, but damned if some of these songs aren't still great. i've definitely listened to the valley more than any other leprous song, and i feel confident in saying it's my favorite that they've done, even above stuff like forced entry and the flood. chronic and echo are both great tunes too, and foe and the cloak are also pretty solid tracks. contaminate me spends its first half being great too but the back half is just... not for me. salt is just forgettable. and then there's. the title track,easily one of the band's worst songs, it's just an ugly mess of ideas that never comes together and isn't really ever that interesting except maybe the vocal line at the end. why is this the song they named the album after lol. but yeah no in general i do like this though it's less cohesive than bilateral or the congregation. might get tall poppy syndrome someday if they rerelease it ever

Last week:
(https://i.imgur.com/X3VEqf9.jpg)

Pink Lemonade: And more roulette stuff (still got like 20 more of those lol). Pretty cool stuff, like a more alt-rock version of The Mars Volta and less crazy for the most part.

Hubardo: Uuhhhh I really like the calmer, mor atmospheric bits on this record, but when it gets heavier and chaotic... yeah it's not my cuppa tea, but I guess I'll give it more listens. Sounds like something Parama would like, it even has growls over calm sections  :corn

Doolittle: Basically the blueprint for most of the lame indie/alt rock ever since? Yet it sounds better written and more interesting. I like the heavier, more ansgty bits. Will relisten.

Album One: Man, I really like Glass Goggles, but the rest of the record is just subpar ballads, really. I don't think I'll return to this one.

Hospice: Frist two, even three songs are awesome, but not sure how to feel about the rest being more upbeat. Let's see how it grows.

Emergency and I: Kinda like your typical indie/post-hardcore band but definitely more proggish and experimental. I feel Tomislav would dig this.

Souvlaki: Yeah I'm definitely liking this, way better than Loveless. Very atmospheric, dreamy songs.

Frengers: Conforting Sounds is great and should have probably given it a better score in my last roulette. The rest of the album is just ok I guess.

Dopesmoker: Yeah this is pretty repetitive and probably should last half as much but what the hell this is excellent. Fucking heavy and hipnotic. An hour long behemoth of a song dedicated to weed  :lol But I ain't need to be high to dig this.

Be: Hey this is actually decent and creative... for the most part. Those spoken word sections are just terrible. But I like most of the music, feels pretty cinematic.

pretty sure the rest of the album after the first few songs isn't more upbeat  :lol syvlia is actually one of the more upbeat songs really. two and bear are the only tracks i'd say are genuinely "upbeat" and two in particular sounds more like a panic attack than a bright, jangly indie rock song  :corn
Title: Re: What album are you listening to? v.5
Post by: Sacul on June 26, 2017, 07:55:21 AM
I guess I meant upbeat as in "faster paced and energic" instead of happier :lol like the first songs are very subtle for the most part before exploding, while the rest are more consistently less-subtle if that makes any sense.

I guess I meant upbeat as in "faster paced and energic" instead of happier :lol like the first songs are very subtle for the most part before exploding, while the rest are more consistently less-subtle if that makes any sense.
No I know what you meant I just don't agree  :P

aenaon: i feel compared to hypnosophy this one's just a bit bloated. a few of the tracks don't really stand out too much either, there's 8 full songs here and only like 5 of them i could tell you what they sound like off the top of my head. i think the back half is stronger than the front half at least. it's far from bad though it's still pretty solid and kinda weird black metal i just don't find it as engaging as hypnosophy i guess.
an abstract illusion: this is really pretty for metal and not in a bad way at all but i kind of feel like it fails to stand out much in any real way. maybe the tracks are all a bit long too, they feel a bit drawn out for the number of ideas that tends to be on display per track. it's enjoyable enough to listen to though and i do wish i was more into this than i am, def gonna keep listening to it
solstafir: i kind of got this one out of obligation and honestly a good bit of this album i don't find that compelling. the entire run from tracks 3-6 is the side of solstafir that doesn't appeal to me as much; the straightforward, short, rock-y type songs. svartir was bloated with them & could've easily been a strong sub-60 or 70 minute album with all the filler cut but this album is already sub-60 and still has those filler-y sounds that i don't care for. the rest is pretty good though, especially tracks 2 and 7, so i'm not complaining too much but it definitely feels like a step down for them

I was a bit disappointed with TTB when it came out, but only because of the awesomeness of the debut. Its grown on me over the years, and I enjoy III as well, even though it's basically a bonus track/outtakes album.

LotR could be my favourite AOR album of all time.

Did you see that Dann Huff played a few Giant songs at a benefit show in Nashville yesterday? He didn't sing as he said he hasn't sung in 25 years and couldn't hit the notes back then  :biggrin: The guy they got in  did a good job but was a bit cringey in his stage moves  :lol Link in the Issa thread.

Last week:
(https://i.imgur.com/d9ZS5NC.jpg)

The Optimist
: A little too unispired at times but I like the electronics and that noy every song has a buildup structure. Not really sure what to think about it but will revisit it ofc.

Humanz:  :'(

Wear Your Wounds: Pretty cool post-rock/sludge/shoegaze record from Converge's singer, very atmospheric. I may send a song or two to Parama on my EP.

Planetarium: I think this will be in my top 3 of the year, it's gorgeous in many ways - Sufjan and co made a very ethereal, symphonic piece here. Dem feelz.

Paranoid: I actually ended up liking this more than expected, huh. Very solid dad rock stuff even by today's standards I guess.

Sing to God: It's... just not my thing. Probably too chaotic, and I don't really dig those 70s-inspired melodies. Wished I like it more because there's pretty creative stuff here.

S.C.I.E.N.C.E.: Like if Faith No More and Rage Against the Machine fused and made an actually good version of Deftones :neverusethis:

Ucchu Nippon Segataya: Yeah I'm in love with this and will spam Fishmans on every roulette I can :P

I still have hopes people will do more roulettes one day :'(


@Trainy I'm mostly kidding, I'll give them a fair chance one day :P


Well only listened to it once so far but it's pretty solid! Not as memorable as RoC but it's better than some reviews would make you believe. Give it a try.

Iron Maiden- The Final Frontier

Love it!

Loved AMOLAD and BoS but FF fell flat for me. That intro pisses me off and there's too much Morris dancing music on it.
Bruce struggled on it too - its painful to hear him straining so much.

This is actually great wow, it's kind of more dramatic than what I've heared from Sufjan Stevens so far. I really like the electronic influences on this, especially on Jupiter. The combination of dubsted-ish electronics and floaty vocals there just works perfectly there.

i had planned to listen to this like, right before home sent them in my roulette and if i had i would've banned them on the spot because this is absolutely my jam. apparently there's a genre named after the label they're on called "swancore" and if so it sounds right up my alley. i need to check out their previous album too but i am definitely getting at least one disc from these guys in my next order, yeah. tbh one listen of this was way more convincing than like 6 listens of the one song i was sent

i feel like they're kinda like, hirsch effekt lite though (not a bad lite just like volume-wise) which might also bias me because the hirsch effekt is basically my favorite band lately, lol

oh also i should

(https://www.metal-archives.com/images/1/3/7/7/137750.jpg?2036)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1900892408_10.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3092403234_10.jpg)

hacride: this is definitely not as good as lazarus but there's definitely a lot to like. the folky cover song whatever it's called is really great and there's a lot of jams in the back half of the album (tracks 7 and 10 especially). the first few tracks are maybe a bit too core-y for me but i like them regardless, it's just a solid album on the whole. not as atmospheric or memorable as lazarus but still gladi got it
mord'a'stigmata: okay this is very much up my alley, yes. i think the quieter moments are actually my favorites but there's a lot of great metal here too and the album is just a really cohesive 45ish minutes of atmospheric black metal meets post-metal in the best way. definitely gonna pick up their latest release too, i remember only slightly preferring this one but finding both quite good and yeah, this is quite good
(waning): a bit varied in quality; i like tracks 1 and 3 a fair bit, really like tracks 6 and 7, kinda dig tracks 4 and 5, and am pretty meh on track 2. but i mean on the whole this is good though yes. honestly kind of really similar to the flight of sleipnir though and i don't think quite as good as their release from this year. but man those last two tracks really are quite good, lotta emotion there

okay now i'm done

Oh shit, that's right .. it's out.  Can't wait to hear the new singer now that Darren flew the coop.  JT is a killer guitar player - bumped into him at an Evergrey show a couple years back.  He told me they almost had the chance to open for QR on a Eurpoean tour, but Darren ended up screwing the pooch on it somehow.  Methinks that was the end of him fronting the band.  Plus, he's just not that great in a live setting - as most of you would remember from his Red Dragon Cartel fiasco.

Riverdogs is out too... need to spin that.  I'll probably also make myself suffer through Mr. Big and Ten.

Still Life is my personal favorite. I was a little disappointed in Blackwater Park not that it's a bad album or anything. I think I just set my expectations too high after hearing that a lot of people consider it their best album.

Both the new Elder and Sleep Party People are easily among my favourite albums released this year. If Planetarium keeps being as great after multiple listens it's definitly up there as well. Jupiter is so amazing  :angel:

Mr Big was ok. There's just something off about the vocals and production.
Not bothered with the Ten yet. Will give the Riverdogs a go eventually but not in any great rush tbh.

All right, I didn't like Shape of You and it is overplayed and is just a bloody sex song, but the rest of the album ranges from good to great and I like the album as a whole.  Ed Sheeran is probably the only "pop" act/musician/band that I legit like at the moment.

i do think this is good but not as good as the one i have from them. a bit less flavor, a bit less intense, i am not as much a fan of the higher pitched vocalist here either, not bad but ehh. i will definitely be relistening to this though since it is good

Does anybody know the solo albums by ROBERT FRIPP, aside from Exposure?

It sometimes reminds me of David Bowies crazier stuff (It's No Game Pt1, also Fripp und gtr).

Am I weird if I find this music tranquilizing in a very strange way?

Jon.. you were right to keep that Motley Crue compilation image small.  It's a fairly wimpy greatest hits package.

BTW... I tried the Barock Project.  Pretty decent.  Might give it second spin to see if it impresses, or just stays in the 'good but not wow'd' category.

the dear hunter: i definitely prefer this to act iv, it's more rock oriented and also more consistent. like, i enjoy every song from evicted to black sandy beaches for one & the front half of the album has a number of tracks i like too. and red hands is maybe the band's best song, i can't see anything from the albums i haven't bought topping that tbh. it's a shame that the closer is maybe the weakest track on the album though lol. both act ii and act iv end really anticlimactically, dunno why casey sucks at endings
oranssi pazuzu: this is a bit slower-paced than their other albums but honestly i am all for that? i prefer the mysterious spacey atmospheres they create over the more intense metal moments, though there are a few of those here. the ambient track at the end is maybe a bit meh but it's still fitting as a finale. and andromeda in particular is pretty great. but honestly i am enjoying this a lot, it's not an album that really jumps out at you (none of this band's albums are, really) but it's wholly enjoyable nonetheless
persefone: i dunno man, this is... "nice" but i just don't find myself getting much out of it. it feels really samey and kind of generic too. like take out the vocals and this would have nothing to do with death metal at all, it's just an okay prog metal album. the pretty moments are nice and they have the occasional moment of building up a nice atmosphere but i am just beyond uninterested in the technical wank bits of this album and a lot of the riffs feel really samey and kinda djenty too. i dunno. i wish i liked this more than i do, i guess

Oops been at gf's place last week so had to make up for the music I wouldn't have the time to listen to.

(https://i.imgur.com/8LCXOBy.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/Cxj6eVI.jpg)

Land Animal: Yeah not as good as Shiny Eyed Babies but definitely more interesting than Say So.

Themes from William Blake's...: Dunno why never jammed this album but it's really good. Ulver gone industral metal and avant-garde stuff.

Amnesiac: Catching up with the Radiohead discography and yeah this is great, very electronic and experimental, and doesn't really fit Kid A but has many great tunes.

Ascension: Not the most original group of songs by Saltillo, but it's pretty solid. Hyped for the new album.

Uroboros: Yeah this is some sick japanese metal, @Trainy check this out.

Carrie & Lowell Live: Holy crap, original songs were already awesome, but this performance is really something else. The climax of 4th of July gives me chills. Sufjan fans, check this ASAP.

The Colour of Spring: Really beautiful catchy album by a band who'd later go full experimental and abstract. Love how it avoids many of 80s pop cliches and has a brilliant production. Fans of No-Man will appreciate this, Steven and Tim are big fans of the band and the influence is noticeable.

Daisy: Doesn't have the same motional impact as their previous album but some of the songwriting is really strong and feels a bit more mature. Will definitely revisit.

IEM Have Come for your Children: This is weird af, but great I guess?

That's the point :P First row is new albums this week, second row is revisiting new albums from last week, third row is revisiting records from three weeks before, because I like leaving a week without listening an album before giving it a third one.

I'm on a huge kick with the new Next To None album, "Phases". This is a much more aggressive album, and there is a much darker vocal approach.

The other album I am still Loving is "Medusa" by Uncured...killer musicality, and a rythmn section that locks everything down.

Uroboros: Yeah this is some sick japanese metal, @Trainy check this out.
Bruh I got Vinushka about a year ago, I checked it out a long while ago. I've heard more interesting stuff from other Dir En Grey albums, this one is fairly tame in comparison, though I haven't checked out any of the other albums front to back. But Vinushka is still fucking amazing.

I'm not really loving this either despite really liking their previous two albums. A lot of songs on this seem to lack memorable moments at first few listens.

Haven't listened to it in months, and despite really liking it, I think now it's starting to fully click on me. Probably their most atmospheric, "ambient" record. Love that organic, warm sound and the use of strings.

callisto: this album has a nice and fairly chill sound for post-metal but it also feels like it's a bit samey at times. i can't really tell a lot of the songs on the back half of the album apart. but that aside it all sounds nice & the noir flavor it has at times certainly makes it stand out
deathspell omega: i don't know if i'm super into this yet but holy hell is this a well-crafted album. dynamic, diverse, and at the very least interesting throughout. phosphene would be my favorite so far, i dig that bass break & the outro is intense as hell, but honestly i feel like the entire thing is starting to open up at this point. and yes this is insanely dissonant and chaotic as hell but, i do dig that. it's a bit hard to have solidified thoughts yet though
the flight of sleipnir: this isn't really notably different from skadi in any way but they have a solid sound that i enjoy listening to and that's basically good enough for me. and most of the songs are memorable enough as well, though i am particularly fond of tracks 1,4, and 7

Yes Years, disc 3. Now I can see what everyone is saying about the intro to A Life Left Behind is so similar to Tempus Fugit..
 I think it's the same exact riff, so it was obviously intentional and giving a nod to Yes a tribute to Chris Squire.

Really enjoying this. Purchase made.

Finally got around to playing this.  Very nice.

Let me drop one on you now...

Loving this one.  Reminds me of Accept a little.  Helluva back catalogue my wallet is probably going to regret.

After initially thinking the Dio worship was cool I really fell out of love with the vocals of NPJ - pretty much became a caricature to me.

Yeah, the DIO worship was strong. They were never much of a favourite.

I hear ya.  I'm still only a couple of albums in to the back catalog, and it is sounding quite samey.  If it's simply 8 albums that are variations on a theme (ie, ARP and/or Harem Scarem syndrome), then I'll likely just stick with the new release and enjoy it on it's own.

Though, that raspy/gargly sound isn't quite what I'd relate to Dio.  More like UDO/Tornillo?  I'm not a huge Accept fan, so I might be off on that comparison.

He's no RJD but with that enunciation that's the sound he's going for. And I'd say here he's closer to DIO than Tornillo/Udo. I've not heard the newer stuff though.

I hadn't realised he is the singer with Wuthering Heights, and you're right, he doesn't sound like he's doing the Stars In Their Eyes version of RJD.

Masterplan just relesead an album with Helloween songs that were written by Grapow. I think it's a little overproduced, but for the most parts, i like it. Not better than the original recordings, but i like it. the vocals work best in the Deris's era songs.

If they tour playing this album, i think i will go.

black peaks: no surprise that i dig this a lot, it's just all around pretty enjoyable. lots of good hooks, lots of interesting and complex instrumentation, just dynamic in general. i'd say saviour is still my favorite but there's a lot of tracks here i quite like and none i dislike so yeah roulette is already some kind of success no matter what
intronaut: it's like the sixth intronaut release i've gotten and the fifth one i've not been disappointed by. what else is there to say. uhh. track 3 is prob my favorite but they're all good
mare cognitum/spectral lore: this is three tracks but it feels like five because each of the two big epics stops halfway for an ambient break, so, that's a thing. anyways it's just solid black metal, from both of them. dunno if either track is that memorable but they're enjoyable enough. the ambient track is maybe a bit too long or uninteresting though, dunno

I've been really enjoying The Assassination of Julius Caesar the past few days. I also put ATGCLVLSSCAP on in the background while doing some stuff but it never really grabbed my attention.



Now listening to this absolute masterpiece, which turned 50 years old today  :heart

Most of my music has been Hypno5e lately because it's my latest obsession, basically djent + mathcore + melancholic rock. Despite doing terrible in Parama's roulette I'm grateful for it because without it I would probably not yet have discovered this amazing band, it's probably gonna become one of my top 10 favourite bands sooner or later, not a single bad album. Ulver posted 10 free digital download codes on Facebook for the Live at Roadburn album and I happened to catch it just in time, so I've been spinning that a lot, I think all the songs they play are from Childhood's End but I'm not sure. Really good album.

Despite doing terrible in Parama's roulette I'm grateful for it because without it I would probably not yet have discovered this amazing band, it's probably gonna become one of my top 10 favourite bands sooner or later, not a single bad album.
I'm also grateful for Parama's roulette because I'm listening a lot of new bands in this period to find something for the next submissions, and I'm also rediscovering bands that I haven't listened for ages.
I've heard something of Hypno5e on youtube after your submission and it's interesting.

These are some of recent listens. I'm continuing to listen the Cardiacs discography and I'm loving every album. My favourite remains On Land And In The Sea even if Guns is close to it. Savage Sinusoid is probably my favourite album of the year at the moment, even if new Caligula's Horse, Leprous, The Contortionist and Thumpermonkey album will likely take its spot.
I had to listen many times to Meta by Car Bomb to like it but I'm glad to have persisted because it's great.
The Unwinding Hours is a project of two ex members of Aereogramme (one of them is Iain Cook of the band Chvrces) and the debut is a great post-rock/alternative rock album. I'm currently checking out their second and last album and Aereogramme hoping to find someting at the same level.

Oops, been traveling for the past two weeks so only yesterday finished listening to the stuff scheduled for two weeks ago :lol But I've also jammed some of these more than once and relistened others so  :natalieportman:

(https://i.imgur.com/P1iYV8A.jpg)

Dear: Yeah new Boris is very solid, there's the sludgy and doomy-droney tracks, some fast-faced stoner ones, some ambient passages and then there's fucking Dystopia -Vanishing Point / 何処へ-, one of the very best songs of the year with such huge build-up and climax.

The Bends: Uuhhhh this is ok I guess?

Promised Land: I'm not a big 'Ryche fan beyond O:M so didn't know what to expect. But this is certainly darker and a bit more experimental in the chord progressions and overall songwriting, and it works for me! Will surely relisten.

The Colour of Spring: I've been jamming this a lot lately, and it's definitely my favorite Talk Talk record - it's just a very very unique pop album that's full of solid arrangements and none of 80s production pitfalls, instead opting for a very organic sound. Funny how they'd later go full experimental and basically set some of the foundations for Post-Rock. Will definitely send this on roulettes... if there are any in the future :lol I may have to run one, even if short, mmnnn...

The Optimist: This is... solid I guess. Kinda not very memorable save a couple songs but still a pleasant listen.

Talkie Walkie: Been spinning this one and Moon Safari a lot too, am definitely gonna delve deeper into this group.

in•ter a•li•a: It's ok I guess, fans will definitely appreciate it. Production really kills the immense energy this album has, it's too compressed.

Relaxer: On the one hand it's more varied and interesting than An Awesome Wave imo, on the other it's still as inconsistent. Good thing it became my 666th rating on RYM :2metal:

My collection is very light on with Alice aside from From The Inside, the Kane era..+ Trash/Hey Stoopid.  Tonight is one of the few times I have listened to a 70's Alice album start to finish (outside of Billion Dollar Babies which I had on cassette decades ago) and I had an idea that this is the one I'd like best and I thought it was very strong.  Most of the sampling I have done outside of these albums hasn't made me determined to buy much.

Pretty much how I feel about Alice. I'm not much of a 70s guy at all, KISS and Rush aside really. Welcome To My Nightmare album is ok but I'm not a big fan. His best of is fine and I like the odd live album - I bought Alice Cooper Show on lap back in the day. The Kane era is hit and miss too but Trash and Hey Stoopid with Last Temptation thrown in are about it for me.

That's the book on neo-classical metal closed right there. Did anyone contribute anything else to the genre after this?

Symphony X?

The early albums? I don't hear anything that isn't there on these two albums. Anything in particular I should listen out for? I only have Twilight In Olympus of the early stuff. Later stuff is more prog metal to me.

I don't actually know too much neo-classical besides them so I wouldn't know. I was more just throwing the name out there because it was more well-known & I figured there'd be at least some new neo-classical stuff you'd see. :dunno:

That said, of the earlier albums, I think Twilight In Olympus is the weakest. This is my ranking for all the SX albums I've heard.
1. The Divine Wings Of Tragedy
2. V: The New Mythology Suite
3. The Damnation Game
4. Self-Titled (I actually thought it had a lot of good moments but was just brought down by a bad mix)
5. Twilight In Olympus

oh crap i never did this for these ones

keelhaul: this is the third album i've got from these guys and as with the other two none of the songs really stand out but the sound as a whole appeals to me. and there are less vocals on this one too which is also cool. also the last two tracks are awful and pointless and i don't even listen to them but aside from them the rest is cool stuff yeah
progenie terrestre pura: i don't know if this is better or worse than u.m.a. but i do like it a lot, it's a bit more diverse while still having a pretty solid throughline to it & a lot of cool moments. one of the better black metal releases i've heard this year for sure
the thirteenth sun: i dunno what to say about this other than that it's some solid and pretty diverse prog metal. also the bass is mixed high and i dig that. but yeah it's got a lot of different styles but doesn't feel "wacky" or anything, it just melds everything together pretty cohesively. the vocals are a bit weak though. but in general yeah, i dig

right now:

(https://www.earsplitcompound.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Cormorant-DiasporaCoverImage-1024x1024.jpg)

this is another of those weird cases where i dig the album in general but my favorite moments of this heavy, intense metal album are the quiet moments driven by atmospheric guitar and bass grooves. i dunno why, this band does that kind of moment well it seems. the metal stuff is cool too, got a bit of a rockin' egde to it at times and a more intense sound other times, and all the songs are pretty damn long too lol. yeah i might give this a relisten & might end up picking it up. i know i listened to another album from these guys before but i don't remember liking it as much as i am liking this one right now

This has been where most of my recent "spins" have gone. Misterwives is Indie Pop, didn't know that was really a thing. I bought the album based on hearing a newer song at the gym. I have bought individual popular songs for awhile, and this is the first modern full pop album I've bought that I can recall. Of course being labeled "indie," it is more pop in style vs being a big deal.

Highly enjoyable to me.

it's pretty solid prog metal but at the same time it's kind of, forgettable
as in, i kind of zoned out during the last track & also the talky track is cheesy as hell (edit: also the last few minutes too i hate this kind of thing lol)
i think it all sounds nice enough though yes sure

this is pretty solid, i guess it feels a bit meandering and maybe overly simple at times? i dunno a few of these tracks didn't do a ton for me. it sort of feels like it's lacking the atmosphere the song i was sent in my roulette had, at least some of the time. i'm not huge on it but i will probably relisten regardless

kind of bad album cover but damned if this isn't some good stuff. solid black/death metal with a good sense of dynamics and a ton of orchestral stuff happening in there too, it's well-integrated enough to not feel like a gimmick either. particularly like anti-life saviour, which has a genuine good use of spoken word samples & is just all-around great

I had high hopes for Cacophany but as soon as the vocals came in there was nothing worth listening to. Great players though, and I have most of their output.

I'm not sure Jason added anything to what Yngwie had brought, but he certainly upped the ante. Apart from the loss to him and his family, it's awful to think of the music we've been denied because of his disease.

I accept that Marty brought that oriental scale stuff to the party. I love his playing more when he stops being metal but he is one of the greats. I have an album of his with Hawaii on vinyl, before the shredder stuff.

I like the first one better too, but the second has my favorite CH song- First Time For Everything.

But you can't go wrong with any of the first three Coney Hatch albums. The forth one from a few years ago was decent, but not one I revisit that often.

this has a pretty cool sound as a whole & there are some good cleaner moments too. i need to give it another listen though because i'm sure i wasn't able to 100% process it first listen, but it seems a good candidate for something i'm interested in picking up

(https://bravewords.com/medias-static/images/news/2017/ExistSoTrueSoBound.jpg)

this is actually pretty cool musically, a lot of variance and dynamic shifts while still staying cohesive & a lot of melodic and dissonant conflict too
i'm just worried because i think the lyrics suck hardcore, at least from what i can make out when i'm trying to? lol. w/e

it's a very backloaded album. everything from the summer drones onward is at least pretty decent but there's like a solid 25 minutes of boring sludge doom whatever pointlessness you have to sit through first, it's really disappointing especially with a cover that good

i've been listening to a ton of crap lately but mostly been trying to figure out the ruins of beverast and foscor albums released this year.
exuvia is like. the kind of album i think i would love but it's so hard to tell. it's a lot slower for a black metal album but has a lot going for it too it just hasn't really clicked in the listens i gave
the foscor album there's like. a few songs i really enjoy and the rest is nice but not that memorable & i'm thinking i'll pic kit up anyways

also i gave like three tracks off the junius album a listen again and either i got super lucky and picked the best tracks or it's better than my previous listens lead me to believe

i'm also really pissed about how badly blue swan has handled the distribution of the new eidola lol, i can only get it as part of a bundle with a poster i don't want :/
but i want it a lot... i gave a few tracks a relisten this evening and they were all pretty great/exactly the kind of stuff i'm looking for right now so i might, even if i shouldn't

+ Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface, but there were no big enough pictures on google

Inconsolobilis: Bastards, they've done it again. Really great EP. If anything, the second track is a bit one-sided and unlike Red Oak Tree it's not memorable enough to justify being one-sided. These Walls Won't Tremble Anymore is just amazing though, that's one of their best songs yet.
Science Fiction: First half is OK but a bit restrained by Brand New standards, but from Out of Mana up until the end it's all great. Only listened to this once on release day though but it's promising.
Wildlife: Really digging the raw emotion on this, their audiotree session is great as well. The ending of King Park is definitely one of the most intense climaxes I've ever heard in music.
Shores of the Abstract Line: Never have had such a hard time picking my favourite album of a band. This one and Acid Mist Tomorrow are about equally as good, the standout tracks are mostly on that album but this one has some more to offer and is slightly more consistent as well.
Polaris: Sure it's not as good as One, but it's still really damn good except for a few songs (looking at you Phoenix).
To The Bone: Good album. I'm a bit sad that 4 of the 5 singles all come after each other on the album but they're all good songs so it's not that bad. People Who Eat Darkness is really cool, I think the only track I don't really like is Detonation, it's way too long for what it has to offer unlike most of SW's/PT's longer songs I've heard.
One: I'll be really surprised if TesseracT ever top One, but Smile is a great single so part of me is confident that it can happen.
in•ter a•li•a: It doesn't really stand the test of time I guess. It is a good album for sure but nothing special, probably not even top 20 of the year material anymore with all the great stuff released so far this year and to be released within the last few months.
A Black Mile to the Surface: Can't say I've given Manchester Orchestra enough listens overall to judge all their albums, but from the time I have given them, this is definitely their best album. Sounds like a lot of fans of The Dear Hunter's indie side would really like this album as well. The Grocery and to a lesser extant The Mistake are already some of my standout songs of the year.

so they released digital downloads to people who preordered and you better believe i jumped right on that

and it's pretty great. even heavier on the cinematic style this time and my one hangup is that it seems the songs aren't as cohesive as a result but it flows as an album well (the buildup from the second-to-last track to the closer gave me chills, especially) & it's got a ton of great music

and this one's actually pretty solid, i particularly like tracks 4 & 5 but it's at least fairly diverse
though the one instrumental track is a bit dull
it's free on their bandcamp anyways so hey why not, i might actually pay for it anyways though

if i'm being honest...
this sucked. bad. like, "would not ever listen to again if i hadn't already bought it".
and the biggest & most obvious reason is that this is a metal album performed like a rock album. not a rock album. it's a piss poor stylistic choice that only hampers the songwriting & makes the entire experience feel very lacking in dynamics because the punchy riffs can't hit with any force and the calmer moments don't hold as much weight.
on top of that you have captive, which is the logical endpoint of the congregation's sound - a jumbled, overly complex mess completely lacking in the groove that made this style worth listening to in the first place. and the title title track would've been fairly promising until the percussion comes in with more of the same grooveless prog wank. and then the last milestone is just a clean sun orchestral rendition of the second half of contaminate me (notably, the worst part of the album, and maybe of leprous' discography up to that point)
so no. i'm not gonna be nice at all & i already regret listening to this. i don't see it getting better on relistens, if anything it seems like it's going to get more insufferable. it's legitimately pretentious and it's disappointing coming from a band capable of so much better
but that's just my opinion

I had tried listening to this record years before and it just never clicked.  Yesterday, it did as I sampled it on youtube.  Massive riffs all around, plenty of aggression and still lots of hooks in the vocals.  I just bought my first Sevendust record.   :metal

That's a bold statement and whilst I don't entirely agree (there's a certain Mr Rhoads and Diary to think about), this may be my favourite Ozzy album and I love Jake's playing on this.

Oops haven't posted in here for a while so have my previous week (will post this one on Sunday or Monday):

(https://i.imgur.com/dWMwIHV.jpg)

Land Animal:Good stuff but for some reason it's not really doing much for me? Just that most songs sound much the same I guess.

Themes from William Blake's...: Very intriguing album, Ulver gone full industrial rock/metal, with some avant-garde and ambient tracks. Very weird and hard to digest, but I like it.

Ascension
: Nice little EP while this guy and others are writing/recording the new album. It's not mindblowing, some of it feels like Saltillo by the numbers but it's very nice indeed.

Slowdive: Songs really lack diversity and production makes all sound the same. It's a nice sound they've got, but it doesn't really sound inspired, just a safe record.

Siempre es Hoy
: I've only just been getting into some of his music, I like how we went full electronic here. Very memorable, catchy songs, sometimes going a bit more experimental and instrumental, or even featuring some rapping in a song. It's not mindblowing but quite enjoyable.

Amnesiac: Almost finished catching up with Radiohead's discography, very experimental and weird stuff here, recorded at the same time of Kid A. I dig it. All I have left is Pablo Honey and the many EPs and b-side songs.

What did you think of it? I thought it was very good, I like the change of pace in terms of the album having less distortion and screaming. The music is still emotive and powerful. Tracks like Desert, 137 and Waste are my favorites.

Love it and it's still growing. I'm too glad it's different than Daisy, no matter how much I liked that album. It is still Brand New but fresh, they are not repeating themselves, love that about them. My favorites are Lit Me Up, 137 and Could Never Be Heaven (this one could seriously be my song of the year :hefdaddy )

it's both decently unique, very much prog metal but doesn't really sound like any of the other bands chugging out prog metal right now, and is also just really enjoyable? i look forward to relistening to this way too much

there's actually quite a number of albums in my latest haul that are really goddamn good though. new hirsch effekt, white ward, ex eye, shade empire, super impressed by all of 'em & i don't even have the new cormorant album yet but i know it's gonna be added to that listen when it arrives. took me a while to really get into 2017 stuff i guess but i have more albums to be really excited about beyond qTp now  :lol

Science Fiction: At first thought it was decent, but it's starting to click with me now, damn.
9 Songs: Daisuke gone... Glitch Pop? It's pretty weeb stuff but quite decent.
Daisy: Really digging this album, love the mature sound and the experimentation here. Underrated stuff.
Carrie & Lowell Live: Holy crap, these are like maximalist versions of the album's songs, and it's gorgeous and moving. Also featuring a cover of Hotline Bling :lol
The Colour of Spring: What can I say, my favorite Talk Talk record, just wonderful Chamber Pop music, very creative and catchy.
Kuchu Camp: Digging a bit more into Fishmans' discog, not as refined as their last two record, but a very solid Dream Pop/Dub album.

For what seems like years I put JP Suspended Animation in the car .. I can honestly say I forgot how good this album was.
I think this one will last to the weekend...  :)

I saw the pic for Pink Floyd, Momentary Lapse of Reason just above .. that may be next.

They are a British rock band made up of "seasoned professionals " . A nice chilled listen. Quite 70s sounding, ELO, Chicago, that sort of thing, with a bit more of the rock.

So you have some huge hits with clean cut pop rock, you have a huge tour, head back to the studio to record the follow up and make... a concept album.

Another solid album ;D   - the story of 2017 so far   And probably a good thing I don't tend to notice lyrics much as I get the feeling that if I dig deeper it'll redefine "cheesy".

It also has a bonus live album.

Seems to be the go more often these days to try and bloat the product hopefully fool the consumer in regards to the average album that is the main product.  Getting more band for your buck so to speak, making it value for money.

imo they released nothing worth listening to between After the Rain and Lightning Strikes Twice (both of which I love)

I like Imaginator, Because They Can has some good songs but is more laid back - Geffen shit a brick when they presented the label with Imaginator 😀 and sent them back to record something softer.

Lightning Strikes Twice is a great album. One of the best rock albums of this century.

Magic certainly isn't as good as the debut, but I'd rate it slightly higher than Mirrorworld.  And that bonus live album was their PPUSA performance last year - which I was front row on the rail for.   :metal  Fire it up on Spotify Kade.... good stuff.  Fairly low production value, but still worth a listen.

I'm only just discovering the full album recently. I remember hearing Joker & The Thief on the radio when it came out & I knew Woman from guitar hero, but it's cool to hear how much more the album has to offer than just those tracks. Dimension is especially awesome :metal

I think Cosmic Egg definitely had some great tracks, it just doesn't feel as raw or aggressive as the debut (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). It still doesn't match up to the debut, but it's only a slight bit off for me. 10,000 feet & Violence of the Sun are heavy as hell.
That said, apparently New Crown is pretty bad, so I don't know how I'm going to react to that one.

Btw, if you haven't heard the debut in a while, there's a 10th anniversary edition up on Spotify with a lot of the demos. The early demo for Woman is pretty funny in retrospect.  :lol

I'm not big on multi-vocals as you know - thought the Avantasia was "solid"  ;D

Thankfully the Accept is better than I expected from the advance track - that Koolaid rubbish is the worst track.

I'd bet my bank account that The Wicked Symphony (ie, NOT the one pictured above) was the one you liked better.  Angel of Babylon (pictured above) is generally considered by most to be the least best Avantasia album.  Wicked Symphony has Klaus Meine, Ripper, Kiske, Matos, and Lande.  AoB is pretty Lande heavy.

Weakest AB album, IMO, but still a fantastic record!
Interesting. I'd say it's their second best. I'd rank them like this:

1. Blackbird
2. AB III
3. One Day Remains
4. Fortress
5. The Last Hero

I think all their albums are fantastic, but for some reason Fortress took a long time for me to get into, which is strange because thats the album were I felt they were beginning to get a little proggy, especially with the title track

I found some kind of unofficial BLUE VINYL VERSION of SYSTEM OF A DOWNs debut album for 19 euros yesterday! I can't find that album on vinyl anywhere for a reasonable price so I am very happy!
This album was the only one I didn't know too well. But so far, I like its raw and aggressive attitude and the thrashy garage sound!

Listened to part of the Threshold and sounds good.  Just noticed they have been around awhile.  What do you consider the best album from the band.

Thanks for introducing me to a new band.  Found so many great bands on this thread.

@ Mikey regarding Threshold.  There are three 'eras' to Threshold Their first few albums with two different vocalists, and they were finding their way.  There are some gems in there, but (imo) I consider those to be their weakest albums (or more accurately, 'least best).  Then, the 'Mac' era, with vocalist Andrew 'Mac" McDermott.  All 5 are excellent.  Mac died in 2011, and they brought back Damian Wilson (who I love).  This album, they've brought back Glynn Morgan (who was the vocalist for Psychadelicatessen.

That said, I'd suggest:

Extinct Instinct
Subsurface
March of Progress

In response to Mike, I'm not their biggest fan so maybe go with Chad's recommendations . I only have Hypothetical (with Mac on vocals), which I like, and the last two, which are decent albums but I don't like Damien Wilson's voice as much as Chad, though it's not enough to ruin the albums. I find him a bit "patronising".

I probably need to go back to earlier albums at some point.

Definitely look into the other four Mac-era albums Paul.  Not a bad one in the bunch.

only one listen so far, and it was mostly on in the background (which for some reason helps me get into albums - I'll have to explore that more), but I thought a couple of the early songs were pretty decent and maybe a couple more near the end.

How's that for some critical analysis?!

so you're saying i should check it out, heck

oh lemme do this while i'm here

(https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Nostoc-Aevum-01.png)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1159467801_10.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3413059680_10.jpg)

nostoc: there are good ideas here. but one the vocals sometimes really suck, two the album feels a bit samey at points & the good ideas get lost in a kind of bland chugfest, three the middle of the album is really unmemorable. like i listen to the first track and a half and then zone out and then figure out where i am during the 6th track where it starts getting good again. oh there's one bit in track 4 that's memorable but that's about it. i'm sort of wondering if i really need to give this a proper listen without any distractions at all and see if it will click because there are moments here i really do like a lot and the first & 6th tracks are both pretty consistently good but the rest ehh, leaves a lot to be desired
ny in 64: got what i expected, which is solid but not particularly memorable proggy post-rock/metal stuff. a bit better than their first release, maybe, by a little, but not that much different and not that interesting as a whole. was never huge on this side-project though, it's just too clean, it's like the nicer riffs of eotw that got cut in favor of better ones for the albums. it's the prettier el drugstore. meh.
tetrafusion: some of this is generic progwank but the two longest tracks are actually both quite good (though they do devolve into the progwank a little). and echo chamber and 10,001 are both pretty solid tunes too. really the only boring stretch of the album is the three tracks between the two longer tracks, all of which are unmemorable and that instrumental is honestly pretty dull to boot. so ehh. overall i like it but it won't be making my year end top 10 by any means, probably not even top 20

(https://www.soundscapemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/The-Hirsch-Effekt-Eskapist.jpg)(https://images.genius.com/135e9ae4d19e7816e0ffdd9a95922a0c.1000x1000x1.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2142312175_10.jpg)

the hirsch effekt: easily an AOTY contender, this is just them basically keeping up the same level of quality they've previously adhered to while still sounding fresh and creative as heck. i don't know if this is quite their best, it's about on the same level as Agnosie and maybe a slot higher but not quite at Anamnesis' level. But heck. What does it all matter. I'd put every one of their albums between the 8.5-9.5 range and scoring a very solid 9 even once is an impressive feat by itself. the three song run at the start is easily my favorite part but the rest doesn't disappoint either. the last two tracks are maybe the weakest - lysios is unsurprisingly a bit too drawn out at points - first five minutes can be a bit one-note and the song coming to a halt at the 10 minute mark for a bit breaks up the pace a bit too much as well, and the last song doesn't feel quite satisfying as a finale like datorie does on anamnesis. but hell. that's nitpicking.
lorde: this is such a different album from pure heroine but it's still pretty dang good. a lot of the singles ended up being my favorite tracks even if i wasn't too hot on them at first, though i think the absolute highlight of the album is the stretch from the louvre thru hard feelings - the last of which may just be her best track, and liability isn't far behind either, really beautiful stuff. a few tracks i'm not huge on as a whole - homemade dynamite and loveless are both pretty lacking in substance - and a few tracks i half like, half meh - writer in the dark, supercut, sober II - but overall still a damn fine pop record
white ward: the big issue i have with this is that the songs feel like they're lacking in identity a little bit, even with repeated listens i can only really identify a few parts of each track on their own, aside from the short all-jazz interlude. but holy hell. the sound of this record. is just wonderful. some of the best-integrated sax metal i've heard yet and with a creative spark to keep it instrumentally interesting throughout. some electronic vibes, a lot of black metal influence, it all meshes well to make a unique but cohesive album. definitely still wanna keep spinning this one a while yet

as always since it's the first set of albums i ended up handpicking a few of the ones i was most excited about and they definitely delivered. can't say i'm gonna be quite so positive in my next batch of these reviews because malina is among them and it has as of yet not grown on me much at all since my first listen. a few tracks have gotten worse, even. so look out for that  :corn

Caligula's Horse - In Contact: I'm surprised that there isn't more discussion about this album, and even more surprised there is no band thread. I've been waiting anxiously every since it was announced and it's even better than I hoped. Every subsequent CH album has topped the previous imo.

The Contortionist - Clairvoyant: This is just absolutely beautiful. Early favorites are Godspeed, title track, and Monochrome.

I guess we just prefer different aspects of the band. I really dig the vocal melodies on this album more than I have in the past. And the heaviness. I find there to be less filler than on bloom too. I do agree I was disappointed with the spoken word. Not because I don't like it, but I just didn't want that to take the place of an actual song.

hmm. as fun as their sound is this can feel a little one note - a lot of these songs just feel like "less good versions of amends" though there's a few tracks where they mix things up a little. i'll probably relisten before deciding whether or not i'd want to pick this up

exist: i dig the general sound of this album and i think several of the songs are pretty "there" (tracks 1, 2, 6 especially) but there's also a... dryness to a lot of this where stuff kind of feels lacking in depth or moments where they get a bit too repetitive. track 6 is probably the best track because there's this escalating build throughout that leads to some moments with a ton of weight & track 2 has this great bit close to the end that is a satisfying climax to the track. but the album also has a tendency to meander. it hasn't quite clicked with me but it's a damn interesting album nonetheless that i do wanna spin some more
leprous: no way around it, biggest disappointment of the year for me. tbh if i hadn't already purchased it before the first full listen i gave it, i would not have purchased this. captive in particular is leprous' worst song. no contest. some moments of the title track are pretty bad too. leashes and the last milestone are both just kinda boring. the rest of the tracks, they have their moments. booneville is decent when it gets loud. stuck has a decent groove to it, about the only track here that does. from the flame has a good chorus. illuminate is... really boring too actually. mirage is prob the heaviest song so it's by default alright. coma is a better frantic song than captive but feels a bit too repetitive. the weight of disaster is probably the best song here but it's basically just down pt. 2. really the general failing is that there just aren't enough good grooves or enough emotionally potent moments and the entire feel of the album is really dry despite all the strings and einar's wailing. i don't know why they made a rock album when they wrote a metal album.
xanthochroid: on its own this is definitely not as good as their first album. but it's a bit hard to judge without the second half completing this. the first act seems to be focusing more on the folkier side of their sound though there's certainly some metal there regardless. the buildup from track 7 into 8 is great & the way that closer just kicks off so intense, i love it. track 4 has a lot of nice quiet moments but i wish the heavy stuff went on longer. i do think tracks 2 and 5 are a bit too alike, i don't know if both were needed. a lot of these songs don't really feel too cohesive but with the way the album is structured as a concept album i can forgive it a little, especially since most of the music sounds good. hopefully i'll have a more cohesive opinion once act ii drops in a month, lol

Ohshit realised I haven't posted here in quite a while, so I'll quickly write about my favs:

(https://i.imgur.com/8sW6mUu.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/UIIycbq.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/KgXVMxi.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/Ckc55ij.jpg)
Promised Land: Didn't really expect much from this and got very surprised. I like this kind of more atmospheric, dark approach to music and this is a phenomenal record. Love the sax here.

King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime: Not as good as Angel Dust, but still a damn solid album. Just wished the production was better. Liking the heavier approach and the subtle jazz vibes.

Science Fiction: It ended up clicking with me, and I love it. Many feels, amazing atmosphere. Among my favorites of the year.

Age of Adz: Sufjan going electronic and orchestral? Ohboy, yes, this is really good. Complex and varied and very creative. Last song is this huge, epic 25 min track and it blows many prog epic out of the water imo :P

1. Outside: I'm not really a fan of 70s Bowie, but I love Blackstar. So took me a while to get around this one, his '95 album and damn. It's probably his most experimental, ambitious one - very long concept album, quite rock but also electronic and industrial, even delving a bit into avant-garde jazz. I'll admit it hasn't aged very well, but it's quite a solid album I'll definitely revisit.

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaus: With this I've finished exploring Sigur Rós discography and what a beautiful record this is. Kinda in the vein of Takk but more straightforward and pop. Feels like a summer album, very playful and lovely. Ára bátur might be one of their best songs.

The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues: Time to start exploring more of the band's output, beginning with this one. Heavy and chotic as hell but really entertaining. Love those crushing riffs. Very fun at times. Solid.

Missa Atropos: Also been exploring Gazpacho's work. This one was very lovely and atmospheric, feels like a great entry point for new fans. Most songs are simple and short but they're really good. Their other albums bring some weird instruments and traditional folk music.

Evil Empire: Pretty cool record. Might not feel as fresh as their debut nor as refined as The Battle of Los Angeles, but lots of catchy songs, great riffs, and cool weird guitar sounds. Probably a bit too long.

Akuma no Uta: Very surprised with this one, kinda mixes most of Boris' styles into one album: the crushing, droney metal of Feedbacker, the catchy riffs of Heavy Rocks, and the punk energy of Pink. Excellent stuff, recommended to anybody wanting to get into the group.

Also this last week I started listening to the last roulette albums I had pending, should take me no more than 4 week to catch up with them :P

Been listening to this for the past week, I'm really loving it. I was kinda scared the whole album would be in the mainstream rock style of some of the singles but that luckily isn't the case. The album is filled with really great moments and big choruses. I really love the little Alan Watts pieces in between the songs too.

As far as I know, Rowan do anything after leaving Dio. SMH, such a waste.

He did a project called Violet's Demise with Oni Logan from Lynch Mob.

Also was in a hard rock band called DC4 with Jeff Duncan of Armored Saint.


In real terms though he has produced very little of substance since Dio and massively underdone his potential.

Monica Heldal - The One In The Sun

Finally got around to listening to this album from last year after being obsessed with her debut (Boy From The North) for months. This is some good stuff. Indie/folk/blues stuff, lots of fingerpicking acoustic work, but this album (The One In The Sun) is much more band oriented, whereas Boy From The North was a lot more subdued and focused mainly on vocals and fingerstyle guitar. Both are excellent albums and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for something softer but musically rich.

Also returned to Enya's Dark Sky Island which is an utterly fantastic album, Enya at her best. 'So I Could Find My Way' makes me cry.

algiers: i think i like this a bit more than their debut though it's still not hugely up my alley. but it feels like more of the songs connect here than their debut, and it definitely ends stronger too. they cut back on the gospel vibes a bit though and replaced them with a more industrial sound which can work but i hope they don't push that even farther on their next album. but yeah nah this is good stuff. not amazing stuff, but in enjoy it
ex eye: the atmosphere and style of this album are really cool but it's a bit light on substance and the kind of album i find myself getting tired of a bit quickly. not necessarily that it's bad - it isn't, and some of the more intense atmospheric parts are actually fantastic, it just can feel a bit repetitive at moments
junius: i'm not much a fan of the more upbeat tracks on this record - it doesn't work well with their style, and in particular tracks 3 & 4 sound too similar for comfort. but then there's a lot of other tracks here with just, great emotional hooks to them and great atmosphere as well. the opener and closer in particular stand out, as well as tracks 6 and 7. i don't know if they have the most original sound out there but i think this is a pretty solid album at the very least

The first 2 records are awesome! 1919 is still very good. After that, Zakk started to try and sound like Ozzy singing, which for me didn't worked. The songwriting quality dropped significantly, too. Catacombs was a step in the right direction, a good effort.

Catching up on some more 2017 albums...

Circa Survive - This is actually the first Circa Survive album I've ever listened to. It wasn't all that impressive on first listen to be honest and I'm no hurry to check out any of their other albums based on this experience. I think I just expected to like this more than I did. Edit: Just really looked at this album art properly, for the first time. It looks like the same person who does Ayreon's album art  :biggrin:

Junius - Heard good things about this band/album. I've only just started listening to this as I type but it's already way more up my alley. Will report back. Edit: Yes, this was a pretty good first listen, not desperate to dive straight back into it but will probably give it a listen before the end of the year  :metal

elder: wow, this sure is an elder album. i don't think it does enough to differentiate itself from their last release, and sonntag is kind of bad, but the rest of this is pretty fine enough stuff. i don't really know if it needs to exist but i don't mind listening to it. i guess if i appreciated the technicality of this stuff a bit more i'd be more enthused about it, i dunno, i like it regardless though. just not wowed by it
mord'a'stigmata: this is a bit too underwritten, i could also kind of claim the same about ansia but it's even worse here, the opening track is 12 minutes and has about three different motifs. and they're all cool motifs, but, the tracks needed to be tightened up a little. and yet it's only 40 minutes. that being said it's still enjoyable sludgy black metal though there's really very little black metal here at all, but ehh whatevs. the ending is also great. i'm not in love with it but it's alright
venenum: woo boy. so. i checked this out basically on a whim not expecting to be too into it, but.... christ, this is a very strong AOTY contender. i guess the kind of death metal i need to check out more of is the 90's progressive death metal scene because boy do i dig this sound. yeah it has heavy prog leanings and some black metal leanings too but the core is very recognizably death metal, and damn what a core it is. the suite making up the back half of the album is the clear better half of this, each track brings great stuff to the table - the first part is the most intense and dissonant but memorable as heck unlike a lot of similar stuff i've heard, the second part is one of the best goddamn prog metal instrumentals i've ever heard without even being too wanky, and the third is a great, mostly instrumental epic with just some fantastic riffage and a great reprise of the album's intro at the end, i love it. the other tracks are great too though? the intro is prob the weakest track but i'm glad it exists to be reprised, the first metal track is a bit standard but dynamic enough to keep me interested, the third track has this really memorable speedup section amongst other things, and the fourth track has a great sludgy sound to it. honestly i still am dissecting and processing this one and i look forward to spinning it a dozen or more times yet, geez i wrote a lot but i love this, a lot

yes, it's good

oh also i listened to the new ongoing concept and the new dreadnought a few days ago
i think the new one from the ongoing concept is probably better than handmade overall but didn't have any song as good as amends. i've only listened to both once though.
the new dreadnought was not very interesting and honestly i'm not surprised, they seem to focus more and more on the least appealing elements of their sound. lifewoven is great but it's a sound the band themselves clearly did not like but their music has become way too meandering with each new album since. oh well

yes, it's good

oh also i listened to the new ongoing concept and the new dreadnought a few days ago
i think the new one from the ongoing concept is probably better than handmade overall but didn't have any song as good as amends. i've only listened to both once though.
the new dreadnought was not very interesting and honestly i'm not surprised, they seem to focus more and more on the least appealing elements of their sound. lifewoven is great but it's a sound the band themselves clearly did not like but their music has become way too meandering with each new album since. oh well

90's death metal kind of sound? I'm pretty sure I'd like it from your description.

I'll check out the new Ongoing Concept album later I guess  :corn

Just discovered Vanden Plas, a very neat prog metal band with some great melodies. Gonna be fun to explore further.

Lingering
Oh boy, I expected that I had to wait another day before being able to listen to this. It's hard to judge after one listen but it definitely does not dissapoint. I think as an album this one has SPP's flow so far.

Berdreyminn
It's better than I expected based on the singles but I feel that overall it lacks some of the beauty of their previous album. There are some really good moments tho.

Heirs
Decided to check more from this band as I'm going to see them live (they visit my home town and tickets are very cheap). The mix between post-rock and energetic math-rock is pretty great but also a little tiring at times. I do like the happy vibes.


I love this thread because I'll look through and discover some amazing bands.

Sleep Party People - Lingering is a really good album.

A bit samey to be honest but you know what you're getting - Euro style symphonic power metal but Japanese style :lol

Personally I think some of their older stuff is better (Angel of Salvation etc......)

Paul (Lowdz) knows their back catalogue better than I so I am sure he will chime in later with his favourite of theirs.

Reporting in sir.
I would agree with Brent. Things are pretty samey so I haven't bothered to delve too deep, but what I've heard is very good. They always put a smile on my face because it's so over the top. The guitar and keyboard solos are frightening 😱🤘

I only have Angel of Salvation and Phoenix Rising, both of which are excellent.
Looking forward to hearing the new one.

I'm pretty sure the vocalist is into Baroness and Kvelertak, and they draw their own album art. There's a bit of that proggy stoner/sludge vibe in the music but the sound is definitely distinct.

Last two weeks, without counting this one. More roulette stuff, this week's (which I'll post tomorrow) it's the last one concerning those albums:

(https://i.imgur.com/0BiQo0A.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/qcJCe0h.jpg)

Hergest Ridge: Dunno, so far exploring Mike Oldfield's discography has been quite a disappointment. I love Ommadawn and its sequel, but other stuff I've tried to far hasn't really grabbed me. This one is the closest I've come to like from those. I'll give Amarok a try and be done with him for now.

March of Ghosts: Didn't expect much but this is a very solid Gazpacho record. Loving the celtic influence here. Atmospheric and lovely as usual.

Hounds of Love: Dunno why I didn't give it a fair chance two years ago, because this is some excellent music, very well-crafted pop. Smart, creative, catchy, and very enjoyable. Love how it avoids most of lame 80s pop clichés and produces something very unique.

The Underside of Power: This is better than I expected, and I probably like it more than their debut. A bit more electronic this time, a little heavier too. I'm into it.

As a side note, some roulette stuff from these weeks has been very good and surprising - found myself really enjoying Deftones' White Pony and Fair to Midland's inter.funda.stifle. Still have to give them a third listen but they sound promising so far.

Make sure to check out Fables from a Mayfly too sometime, some of the songs from inter.funda.stifle have been rerecorded for that album (which has a way better production as it is not self-produced)

Not to be that douche who plugs his own music, but I've honestly been listening to the instrumental album I released a couple of months ago. Considering I pretty much write music for myself, I don't think it's too weird to listen to your own stuff (that would actually make for an interesting discussion). Half of the time I forget I wrote and recorded it. It just feels like I'm listening to an album.  :lol

foscor: meh. this is... nice enough but doesn't really grab me in any way. even the tracks i kinda like are still outclassed by a lot of similar stuff in the style. would rather just listen to alcest. not much else to say. ain't bad but i'll likely forget about this in a few months
the ruins of beverast: i think this is a bit too slow-paced and repetitive for its own good. track four is quite good, and track six, while fairly repetitive, is such a good riff that i don't really care. the rest... yeah, they're fine enough songs and i don't mind listening to this at all but they don't grab me so much. and this is one of the longer albums i got in my last batch of stuff but doesn't really feel like it earns its length, at least not entirely
shade empire: pretty cool symphonic death/black metal or whatever. i dig the sax that shows up in a few of the tracks too. i think the symphonic elements kind of overwhelm the metal in the mix & the metal itself would be kind of unmemorable on its own, but the songs all sound good, can't think of a track i dislike and nearly every track has something to make itself appealing, tracks 3 and 6 are maybe the most forgettable i guess but they're still solid? so yeah, cool stuff. bad album cover, but cool stuff

's good stuff. i worry maybe a bit too consistently heavy but we'll see. probably fares better when put together with act i, as well. when i'm more familiar with this disc i'll definitely start listening to the whole thing front to back a few times

listening to both of these back to back to see if i can figure out which i prefer and,
it is stunningly easy to decide, actually. handmade is just nowhere near as colorful and dynamic as places, even if they both hold onto that "fun" vibe, the former just feels a bit monotonous and gets old quick, whereas the latter i found interesting the whole way through. amends is probably the best song between the two but hell, maybe not, i dunno. but yeah, definitely thinking that if i do get one of these it'll be the new one

I mean I've only listened to Places once but I know Handmade got me on first listen. It was the album that got me into them so that's not surprising I like it more. I'll spin the new one a few more times but I thought it felt a bit too similar to Handmade.

Skein - Deadweight: Vocal performance is alright but the songwriting is painfully uninspired, and a couple songs are so out of place it's almost ridiculous. Disappointing, considering "Of Wings Unfolding" is pretty much 10/10.

cormorant: yeah, this has a ton of stuff i dig. some great moments of groove, some beautiful atmospheric moments, a healthy dose of prog, some really sludgy, ugly moments i love, and some great intensity when it needs to. just an all-around entertaining album. track three is maybe a bit undercooked compared to the rest but it's all solid. don't like it quite as much as some of my other faves from this batch like the hirsch effekt and venenum but it's still among the better releases in my last batch easily
eidola: i think i had a strong kneejerk reaction to this one but this is kind of inconsistent. there's a few tracks i quite like and then a few tracks that honestly just feel like filler. and it's a bit overly melodic without having more harsh moments to break up the flow. it's kinda like, pth-lite, not as technical and with more quieter moments (which is not a bad thing) but the songwriting is a bit inconsistent at times. i think it's worse near the start of the album, most of the stuff near the end is a lot better. still do like this though & i still already have their previous album anyways
ulsect: dunno why i got this tbh. the sound is kinda cool but this album is drab and the songs are monotonous and homogeneous as heck. i can't really pick out any tracks besides the last two at all, and there's just a lot of moments of boring chugging. it's just this block of grey that's too unchanging to ever get interesting. i think i'm done having any faith in dissonant stuff in this vein 'cause it only ever disappoints me :V

Last week was the last one consisting of roulette stuff! After 1 year and 6 months after finishing my second roulette, I've finally finished catching up with the stuff I was interested in listening. That means I'm ready for a v3 sometime soon. In the meantime, I'll keep exploring the discographies of artists I already am familiar with.
(https://i.imgur.com/I4LirnS.jpg)

Linda Perhacs - Parallelograms: Wow this is some very, very unique folk music. Ethereal, mysterious, and some hypnotizing vocal harmonies. It sounds very modern for an album released in 1970. Beautiful stuff.

The Stooges - Fun House: So this is what punk was before it became punk? Like, this is funky as shit, those riffs rock, and there's just a lot of energy here. I like how is slowly descends into madness with each song, ending in some free jazz chaos for the closer. I dig it.

The Dear Hunter - Act IV: Well, ended up liking it more than I thought I would. Wonderful production (if compressed as hell) and isntrumentation, very refreshing take on modern prog without the wank. Probably a bit too theatrical for my taste but am interested in more of their music, will probably go with The Color Spectrum next.

Now just finished listening to this week's planned stuff (gotta go for the weekend). Curiously all of my favs this week were from the early to mid 2000s :P

Inter.funda.stifle: Pretty cool kind of artsy, proggy take on alternative metal. Strong melodies and riffs. I dig it. I recall getting their folloup on my first roulette but didn't think much of it. Will have to fix that.

Vheissu: I'm very picky when it comes to anything post-hardcore-related and this is pretty much what I enjoy of that kind of music. Excellent musicianship, lots of creativity, memorable melodies, some feels, and great production despite being compressed as hell.

White Pony: Welp I ended up liking Chino Moreno and The Deaf Tunes. Love this heavy yet dreamy, layered production, and how creative this is for a "Nu Metal" band although that label doesn't seem to apply to this record. This singer is fucking insane too. Will surely explore more of their catalogue.

going over some of the roulette stuff i've been checking out recently:
chvrches - the bones of etc., there were like one or two other tracks here i kinda liked but two listens through this and it mostly bored me. unfortunate
dream the electric sleep - heretics, starts out good, gets kinda dull for a while, ends a bit better but doesn't really hold my interest enough for me to want to check it out more times.
crippled black phoenix - bronze, scared and alone sounds basically nothing like the rest of the album, which kinda totally kills my interest. like there's a few other tracks here i like but the vocals are generally not very good
nerve end - the ep whatever, call me when you have a full album but this was ok
chaos divine - i forgot the album name, i liked this quite a bit actually. one of the cases where it seemed like the song i sent definitely wasn't the only good track. will definitely relisten & probably purchase.
the ongoing concept - places and handmade, i preferred the new one over handmade surprisingly enough but i may check 'em both out again, the style is decently appealing. handmade felt like more of a chore to get through than places is the big thing, i guess?
gunship - themselves, tech noir is the only song that really works for me, the rest don't have the same atmosphere or strong structure, though again there were a few tracks i kinda liked
amy shark - ep whatever, again call me when you get a full album out but there was only one other track on the EP I liked at all so maybe not

i'm trying to cut down on a lot of the stuff i have to listen to & then i'm gonna get to the rest of the roulette stuff. basically in hardcore listening mode for the moment, since i wanna order before the end of the month & have a loooot to check out, geez

i didn't even listen though this all the way twice, it's so damn good i didn't need to. may actually be better than riitiir? hiindsiight is definitely a song to rival the best that album has to offer. i really need to check out in times now too, if this is the direction they've been going i bet i'll love that one too

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1324798215_10.jpg)

i feel like these guys write great music but suck at writing songs. these tracks are all so directionless and aimless, rarely building up anywhere and rarely having any memorable hooks or moments, something to identify and ground the songs by. they just... go on for 10+ minutes then end.

but the music itself is quite good? it's more balanced than bridging realms, heavier on the metal but not as heavy on it as lifewoven. it's probably a great balance but man is it hard to tell when the songs are just so unmemorable. i'm admittedly still kind of interested in getting this in spite of that just because there is a lot of good music here but i wish they knew how to write better frameworks for their songs

singer/songwriter-y chill rock album with a touch of progressive influence. sounds kinda like anathema. there's a female vocalist that sounds kind of like anneke.

this is because this is the solo project of one of the members of anathema, and anneke is the female vocalist on a few of this tracks.

i mean, it's okay but feels a bit... well, monchrome, to say the least, lacking the emotional depth of the better anathema stuff and really kind of lacking variety too. don't mind it and it's better than the actual anathema album we got this year but i won't return to it either

starting to make a dent in my roulette stuff, hopefully i can decide on albums to get within the next week or so?  :lol

(https://www.metal-archives.com/images/1/3/4/6/1346.jpg?2955)

pretty cool, a bit rough-sounding but it's energetic and intense. dunno if i love it but i very much want to relisten to it at least one more time

(https://img.discogs.com/VxLYLoTwkBUqUT5VErV_2Ro63Fc=/fit-in/500x500/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-2050615-1304160412.jpeg.jpg)

hmmm... nah schizophrenic is the best song here for sure, they try to make their music really pretty but it comes off kind of sterile, and a bit slow at times. there were some other decent tracks and i may come back to this at some point but i don't think i'm that keen on this right now, though it's not bad really

(https://www.metal-archives.com/images/2/2/8/5/228553.jpg?1058)

i sort of expected this but yeah this is just... very flavorless and kind of generic, i really did not get much from this. the last track was decent enough as was the song from my roulette but neither are that impressive and the rest of the album sounds exactly like itself anyways. oh well

i think there's only like one album in round 1 i still wanna check out 'cause i already checked out the best stuff from that round but round 0 stuff is pretty much checked out & the only thing it's looking like i might get at all is windir, oh well  :lol

i think i'm slightly turned off by the vocal style here, which i'm not huge on, and some of this can feel a bit dry, but i can't help but admit there's also quite a number of interesting things happening here, they definitely don't sound quite like any other band i can think of. may revisit.

(https://www.remixmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/BROODS-Evergreen-2014.png)

listening to the first few songs i was digging the sound but it didn't take long to notice how repetitive and minimalistic a lot of these tracks are structurally. and track 5 is a disjointed mess. everything after that started blending in to the point where i barely remember it and then superstar came on at the end. it's like a perfect places style closer in a sense. but anyways yeah this was a bit exhausting to sit through despite being fairly short, don't think i'll be revisiting, just not enough here

(https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Votum_KTONIK.jpg)

oh man i listened through this entire thing and it's just some of the blandest metal i've heard in recent memory. the band fails to establish any kind of identity and doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic about metal in general, just sticking to safe, sterile riffs that lack power or memorability. the vocals i was never a huge fan of to begin with either and they don't do much to impress me. this sort of just ends up feeling like 50 minutes of the same song over and over, and it's not unpleasant, just dull, not interested in revisiting

Definitely worth checking out some of their other albums as well dude. Like, The Resignation and Gemini, Her Majesty. Actually, Mandela is pretty good too.

out of all the bolsters albums i've checked out so far, it's the one with the lowest individual song score that i end up liking the most, somehow? i dunno, the style here appeals to me a bit more, maybe because there's a rock edge to a lot of their songs. will definitely at least relisten. not like, huge on it yet but i dug it a fair bit

(https://www.metalinjection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Twelve_Foot_Ninja_Outlier.jpg)

while this is fine enough it feels a bit overshadowed by the ongoing concept for me. and the metal seems a bit... tame, the vocals not quite up my alley. i dug them on a single song basis and this will probably get a relisten anyways but i'm not feeling it that hard as of right now

(https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Oddland-Origin-01b.jpg)

good to know untrue isn't a fluke and their style of metal does lean towards that great balance of melody and dissonance that that song had on display, heck, i don't know if untrue is even among my favorites after a full listen here. but yeah, vocal style again not hugely my thing but this is solid enough overall that i'll definitely at least come back to it even if i don't purchase

(https://img.discogs.com/z9GB5gZuX8PKsTUPjifIvDHyDOM=/fit-in/500x500/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-4821788-1376577823-2607.jpeg.jpg)

this is definitely way too long, though stylistically pretty solid. some heavier moments i wasn't quite expecting and i feel like campfire may have been a bit underscored even with the bump i already gave it, but yeah, maybe if this was cut down a bit more i'd be more into it but i still did like it on first listen

will note that some of these that -could- get relistens probably won't for the upcoming order since i'm already buying stuff way later than i would want to be even speaking right now, blah. but i do plan to give most of these albums a fair shot in time even if it carries over to 2018

i'm not relistening to this, mostly because it's good enough that on first listen i know i'm buying it. yeah. i knew this would be right up my alley from the song i was sent and it did not disappoint, not even sure if that track is my favorite here, probably not. some good proggy sludge metal stuff, yessir.

(https://www.arenaband.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Contagion.jpg)

i really dunno what this album is trying to be. i mean, a concept album obviously, but. stylistically, it just never seems to decide. and it's too concept album-y for my tastes with lots of short interlude tracks that go nowhere. i still do really like cutting the cards but not much else here caught my interest and i'm not really interested in returning

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2469412658_10.jpg)

awful album name, lol. also, feels like it pushes harder on the post metal side than the prog side, and probably goes on a bit long too. i do like it nonetheless, but if i only get one album from this band for now, based on first listens it is absolutely gonna be their debut.

Yep. I usually need multiple listens to even decide if I like album and I will definitely give this another, it is pretty good (for a first listen). There are still many more roulette albums to check out tho :-\

some nice chill stuff from iceland. will at least relisten, i found this quite pleasant, maybe a bit dull at moments but overall enjoyable. iceland is the best country for stuff like this tho for real geez

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0998877583_5.jpg)

so this started out kind of awful and i was wondering if i would even finish but it got progressively better as it went on and genre hopped like three times without ever feeling incohesive? at the start it's more straight death metal, by stormblast it was more prog/death/sludge somewhere in between, and the last track was like a heavier elder track, very traditional doomy. it's weird. i'm intrigued to some extent but that start is really not good

(https://americansongwriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/tumblr_lklk7y42ok1qahmli.jpg)

did not finish this one, tbh, just not my style. the vocals especially. on virgin they're kind of downplayed & the song has a weird, different feel from the rest of the album. i stopped after virgin because it was clear that was the odd one out and the only one i liked at all.

(https://profoundlorerecords.com/bellwitch/img/cover-sm.jpg)

i like the sound of this but it's clearly far too long and doesn't really stand out for me in any way. it's an interesting concept though. i'd have to be in the right mood for it, for sure, don't think i will pick it up now but may consider it for the future

(https://scontent.fsea1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/p720x720/21230847_877629222388249_514226769825232380_n.jpg?oh=522b36e90c699bf4d1db62df95402cf0&oe=5A729271)

apparently this group is formed mostly from former unexpect members? anyways, this was actually not very good. vocals especially were weak but a lot of the metal is meh too, it has occasional moments of interesting stuff but mostly just felt sloppy and uninteresting.

I like Wolves and Rift, but the true beef of that record is everything from Stormblast onwards (original pressing track order). That run is almost perfect.

Just finished listening to Ne Obliviscaris - Urn for the umpteenth time. It's amazing how even the weakest tracks (basically the three singles released before the album) just majorly jump in quality in context of the album. Like the past two albums, this one is consistently great from start to finish. Definitely my album of the year so far (although Diablo Swing Orchestra may change that) and a top 20 all time album for me for sure.

Now I've moved on to Juno Reactor - Labyrinth, which is Symphonic Goa/Psy Trance (a bit different from Progressive Black Metal). Another consistently good album, though I haven't really listened to it from start to finish before now. That was definitely a mistake.

They are totally under rated! They were an incredibly talented band! I understand what you're saying, but i love the humor in their music.
Livin In Hysteria, Hell for Sale, Planet E and Menergy are all awesome records.

maybe a bit of a lot to take in but on first listen i enjoyed this. aside from the really lo-fi production which i don't think quite suits the style of music that well. but i mean in general yeah this is cool. will check it out again at least one more time

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0022766317_10.jpg)

mmm this was... fine. not really that fresh and not really that captivating but i mean, i found it pleasant enough. dunno if i'll revisit it, it's not really the kind of music i'm that interested in seeking out atm anyways but EHH

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3153393733_10.jpg)

since i've listened to this before and it wasn't catching my interest again by around the halfway point i just turned it off. sorry. i just find this kind of generic despite what it's trying to do. i've already got better/more interesting black metal in my lineup anyways

(https://img.discogs.com/DoXFai3WA9bW6rrpRHcvu8uvwYc=/fit-in/600x600/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-8162126-1456304792-4006.jpeg.jpg)

i missed this listening to round 4 albums earlier and... it's okay. doesn't really do a ton to stand out but it didn't sound exactly like other prog metal i've heard before either. vocals are a bit weak. dunno if i'll return to it, maybe, but i wasn't that compelled by it

(https://img.discogs.com/uSgJNR3NOpJUEbeMTu83UP9Uduo=/fit-in/600x595/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-1518960-1391275402-4402.jpeg.jpg)

i turned this off halfway too, can't say it's a style that does much for me. like i said i can enjoy maybe a song or two in isolation but it's not the kind of thing i need a full album of

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3249040295_10.jpg)

no way to argue this isn't way too long but it's interesting for sure. i feel i was half right in that arboreal sleep works a bit better in the context of the album but mostly because the entire album is as disjointed and all over the place as that song in particular. not necessarily in a bad way but it's a lot to take in for sure & definitely needs another listen

i'm also listening to hypno5e atm i'll update this with that later. train will kill me if i don't at least listen to one album from them, i figure

edit:

(https://bloodygoodhorror.com/bgh/files/Hypno5e-Acid-Mist-Tomorrow.jpg)

so, you know that whole thing i said about the clean parts being better thna the heavy parts on the title track?
guess what
applies to the whole damn thing, unsurprisingly. i was very continously impressed by a lot of the cleaner parts, both the prettier moments and the darker, more sinister ones. the last two-part track especially, is really good, mostly because half of it is completely clean and the back half has no harsh vocals whatsoever (perfect). and story of the eye was cool too. had some flute stuff going on i think? it definitely seemed like the title track wasn't even the strongest here though it is plenty representative of the album. i will probably listen again but i don't see my opinion changing; at the same time the band seems aware enough of their strengths because i'm pretty sure there's twice as much clean stuff across the entire album as there is heavier stuff, so, lol

i think this has moments where it flirts with something cool but i mostly found myself not too interested. the vocals were kind of a turn-off, i am really moving away from this kind of syrupy high-pitched male voice recently

(https://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/cdreviews/covers/wrongdoers.jpg)

not surprised in the least i was not too into this as a whole, a song or two i can take but this is one of those rather monochrome albums and i am someone who likes color. the 14 minute closer was kinda weird at least, i dug the drone-y second half? like this has its moments throughout mixed in with more aggressive stuff i don't care for but i doubt i could ever feel too strongly about it

(https://www.metal-archives.com/images/3/5/9/9/359995.jpg?4416)

well, i know where luoto got his username from now, at least. but i found this painfully boring, i barely noticed any of it while i was listening to it & technically didn't finish (didn't relisten to white palace at the end but listened to everything else so whatever). but yeah. not for me lol

(https://shop.nuclearblast.com/static/articles/104/104926.jpg/1000x1000.jpg)

somehow i was not aware this was metal at all? and that ivar bjornson is in enslaved the heck? well, that explains that, and, yeah, in the context of a full album all of this gets way better, i dug this quite a bit. definitely at least a relisten, might just go on the purchase list proper

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0234898869_16.jpg)

too long, but above average for prog metal. there's a bit too much that feels like filler but the killer moments were there and hit hard. i'm upset at that one 2 minute instrumental that had some of the absolute best stuff on the album though, why isn't that one longer? that siren song in particular felt too long, cut that one down and give the rad instrumental more time. but no yeah this was pretty solid, will prob relisten

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61q4e74peTL.jpg)

i think i may have overrated the song i got off this album just a tad - it's still good but i don't think it's quite the best song of the roulette. well anyways. i started off liking this quite a bit but as an album this is frustratingly one-note, where most of the songs are probably good in isolation (felt like it at least) but the entire album kind of runs together and i'm tired by the end (the closer was good regardless, just saying). maybe one or two tracks that felt kind of meh. will still relisten since there's definitely some emotional potency here but it desperately needed variation

hopefully i'll be able to burn through the rest of the roulette albums by saturday, 'cause i do kind of want to place an order asap. waaayy behind now lol. only like 2 albums from round 10 i still need to check out so that round should be quick but then there's like, 8 or so still from the EP round so, and a few more from round 9 as well

A little  ;D    Pushing the boundaries for me admittedly.    Broderick/Drover (ex-Megadeth).  Some good guitar playing/rhythms here and there but lacking in the songwriting department.  All rather samey.

One of the greatest symphonic metal albums ever made, and just one of my favorite albums of all time because it's such beautiful, intense music. It does symphonic metal better than any other group I've ever heard... Criminally unknown. I would love to make a thread for this band but I'd probably be the only one interested. Been a fan for over 10 years and still hear new things in these songs. The second album is almost as good, still heads and shoulders above most any other symphonic metal band out there. Such a shame they split up before making their 3rd album. The production on this is insane, with all that's going on, everything is still crystal clear in the mix.

Highly recommended to people who enjoy that genre of metal, concept albums, sophisticated orchestrations, don't mind the guitars taking a backseat (they serve the music instead of being the star of the show), and get off on saccharine melodies and high vocals.

I forgot how badass this album was.  A few Bach solo tunes, then a live set full of Skid Row.  I saw him about a year after this was released at Milwaukee's Summerfest and was blown away at how powerful his band was then, despite him not being the greatest live singer.  It's only missing live versions of Piece of Me and The Threat, then it would be perfect.

First one is Sacrament of Hope from Croatian band Chaos Addict, they finally released their debut. It's quite solid melodic thrash metal, great vocals (reminds me of Jorn Lande).

Wow, sorry everyone. I've never had that problem happen with postimage before. Anyway, yeah, they're a Brazilian power metal band called Aquaria, if you're even slightly interested in symphonic metal I'd highly recommend listening to that album (Luxaeterna). It's incredibly well written although there are spots where even my corny-music-loving self thinks they should've taken a different approach (there's one song with falsetto vocals where they really should have just gotten a female singer but oh well it's still beautiful).

EDIT: I think prog fans can find something to love in several of the songs because there's some experimental stuff going on. One of them has a section with such strange timing I still have no idea how to keep rhythm in it or what the time signatures are (if they even change -
 it's really interesting). Both albums are on Spotify now even though they never were before, odd timing

a looot of stuff today let's go

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/6164EYP3BSL.jpg)

i like this for what it is and feel like it gets a relisten by default because i didn't really like the song i got in my roulette until after a few listens. but yeah it's enjoyable enough

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3851425033_10.jpg)

eehhh, this is nice but got a bit dull for me, even as short as it is. i guess. i'm looking for something at least a bit more complex or challenging

(https://www.metalinjection.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/CHTHONIC-Bu_Tik_1500.jpg)

i kind of got the impression from the song i sent that this would be pretty bog-standard fare and that's exactly what i got. solid but not really standing out in any way and tbh i forgot most of what it sounds like already. very similar to that dir en grey album from my last roulette in that it's very solid but never reaches much above a baseline and doesn't do anything special

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51iKdKero6L.jpg)

not really bad by any means but it's a bit too pensive and patient compared to a lot of the prog rock i prefer. also the marbles interludes all over the place mostly just break up the flow of the album imo, i dunno. it's pleasant enough

(https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Barren-Earth-cover.jpg)

i feel like i may have underrated the title track slightly in my roulette, especially with how damn good those last few minutes are and the rest being fairly solid. and as a whole i thought this was pretty solid, yeah, not a huge standout but i do want to revisit it

(https://www.readdork.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Arcane-Roots-Melancholia-Hymns.jpg)

genuinely have absolutely no clue what this album is trying to be. it lacks any sense of vision at all. sounds nice enough sure but the songs run into each other and lose any individual identity and it's hard to tell if they want to be a metal band or an atmospheric electronic band. i don't know. i feel very similar about this as i do the new contortionist record, but i don't really have the time or patience to try and figure this one out. it might be good but i have no clue

(https://headbangerreviews.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/amendfoil_empyrean_and_ophidian_-3000_3000_cover.jpg)

i can't really pin down the style of these guys but the music on display here is pretty solid. maybe feels a bit one note over the course of an entire album but it's a note i don't really hear other bands hitting and i enjoyed it well enough so whatever

(https://images.genius.com/c20404d449b0a917a60d9898a50f6ab9.400x400x1.jpg)

kinda regret not checking these guys out sooner because man this album is all over the place on the emotional spectrum, though most especially there's a lot of bite to it,  way more than other emo-leaning records i've heard. singer still needs lessons but honestlly i prefer this to the super polished, syrupy high-pitched vocals on stuff like arcane matter and whatnot

(https://img.discogs.com/cb8plUB8xByF3W2G2-K4DpgwP4E=/fit-in/600x600/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-3162054-1339506737-6160.jpeg.jpg)

midnight city is all over the place so obv i've heard it before, and it's, fine. this album has a ton of the interlude tracks like the one i was sent and that's, pretty cool actually? i went into this not expecting to like it and found it actually decently enjoyable. a lot of atmosphere, the occasional rock edge, honestly if it weren't so bloated and if the more straightforward poppy stuff was cut back i'd probably like it even more

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Tegan_and_Sara_-_Love_You_to_Death.png)

also did not expect to be super crazy about this one but i enjoyed it more than i was expecting to. faint of heart is fine enough, really maybe scored it just a touch low in my roulette but it felt to me like there were a lot of better songs here anyways. it's a bit short though, for sure

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0637988740_16.jpg)

well i finally relistened to mjod too. i dunno. something about this style, it's fine in single song segments but over the course of an album does not really do much for me. oh well

whew, finishing off tomorrow for sure, only a few left; moon safari, killer be killed, kauan, and fishmans are the only ones i have albums on my bookmarks or watch later list, so that should be all of that for good. geez. i should've done roulette stuff in a separate order i think but what the hell ever shipping is cheaper if i pay it all at once

@Parama, I know I sent you Glassjaw but I think you actually already enjoy them more than me. I only downloaded some if their albums because they supported Coheed and Cambria last year. They are kinda cool and I thought you might like them.

Couldn't disagree more in regards to Chthonic though! These guys add in traditional Taiwanese instruments into their music and sets them apart from other symphonic black metal, as far as I'm concerned. Also, Taiwanese harsh vocals just sound  :metal to me. Love this band, Bu-Tik is easily my favourite album.

some of this is pretty solid enjoyable stuff but a lot more of it is overly cheesy and just not up my alley, oh well.
i may check out some of their really long album because i've actually seen/heard about it before and am curious but prob won't listen to the whole thing unless it's really good

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cdxk1RGUUAAbVsL.jpg)

so i only just realized the lead singer is the singer from TDEP, lol. uhh anyways. this was okay but maybe a bit lacking in color? i'm interested in relistening at least once but i can't say i see myself purchasing it after that

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0731256501_5.jpg)

i feel this fares better as one piece than the individual parts do separately, though it still felt like it kind of anticlimaxes or never quite hits a peak. but yeah it's solid, decently gorgeous stuff and i wanna relisten at least

(https://www.japanator.com/ul/user/2/22388-33498-FishmansLongSeasonjpg-620x.jpg)

there are parts of this i do like but it's either monotonous (the stuff i do like) or boring (parts 3 and 4, which i did not like). actually part 4 would be cool without the vocal thing like i said in my writeup. but yeah. i could see myself getting into something -like- this but not exactly this album itself

i also figured out what the weird wrong song nekov sent me was so i'm gonna check out that album maybe, but it's also really long lol
and there are a small few albums i wanna check out as well, the other turbid north album, another hypno5e album maybe, dunno

so, you know that whole thing i said about the clean parts being better thna the heavy parts on the title track?
guess what
applies to the whole damn thing, unsurprisingly. i was very continously impressed by a lot of the cleaner parts, both the prettier moments and the darker, more sinister ones. the last two-part track especially, is really good, mostly because half of it is completely clean and the back half has no harsh vocals whatsoever (perfect). and story of the eye was cool too. had some flute stuff going on i think? it definitely seemed like the title track wasn't even the strongest here though it is plenty representative of the album. i will probably listen again but i don't see my opinion changing; at the same time the band seems aware enough of their strengths because i'm pretty sure there's twice as much clean stuff across the entire album as there is heavier stuff, so, lol
Yeah, the ending is great, and Story of the Eye was the song I was first planning to send. I think the weird strings into flute stuff make a pretty good transition into the slow section. Also, that song has one of my favourite Hypno5e riffs, the one around 3:55.

Honestly, I think this album and Shores of the Abstract Line are about equal, but I think you'd like that one more, has slightly less harsh vocals and when they're present they blend in a little more naturally with the instrumentals I feel. So yeah definitely that one second. Then there's Des Deux L'une Est L'autre which is a revisited version of their debut, they cut some stuff out and added some material, and I guess both are a bit more experimental and raw than the other two albums.

(https://www.metalinjection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/AFTER_THE_BURIAL_-_DIG_DEEP.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0141205296_10.jpg)

After the Burial: Saw them live and remembered how good Lost in the Static and Collapse were. The whole album is really solid, I guess it's like metalcore with some djent influences, not my usual type of music but it's just good songwriting, they don't go overboard on technicality and it is not constant breakdowns which I also appreciate.
Converge: I'm not quite on the same level as Zantera, but this should be in my top 10 of the year by the end of the year for sure, really good first impression. They kind of reinvented their sound without taking it too far from what we're used to from Converge. The title track, Broken By Light and Reptilian are early standouts, still really bummed that they made Eve a b-side, that's seriously one of their best songs so I have no clue why they didn't put it on the album.
Symphony X: I checked this out because of that poll of SyX vs. SoA. Even though the lyrics are really, really bad, the music is just very solid progmetal. I'm able to look past the lyrics because of it, I probably like this about as much as Paradise Lost and Underworld which is a good thing.
Ne Obliviscaris: Don't like this as much as most, but it's a good album. I think it's pretty dumb to release half the album before its release though but maybe that's just me, especially considering the last 2 singles were the two-part closing suite, kind of like spoiling the end of the book before releasing it. Intra Venus is still probably the best song here but Eyrie and Libera pt. 1 are close.

Coney Hatch- s/t, Outta Hand, Friction, Best of Three, Four

Dio- Sacred Heart, Dream Evil, Magica, Killing the Dragon

Magica and KtD let that bunch down.

It's so bad that we have to let our standards drop so much to enjoy KTD.

so i only just realized the lead singer is the singer from TDEP, lol. uhh anyways. this was okay but maybe a bit lacking in color? i'm interested in relistening at least once but i can't say i see myself purchasing it after that

That one is a grower. Listen more, you'll get hooked, bro.

so, you know that whole thing i said about the clean parts being better thna the heavy parts on the title track?
guess what
applies to the whole damn thing, unsurprisingly. i was very continously impressed by a lot of the cleaner parts, both the prettier moments and the darker, more sinister ones. the last two-part track especially, is really good, mostly because half of it is completely clean and the back half has no harsh vocals whatsoever (perfect). and story of the eye was cool too. had some flute stuff going on i think? it definitely seemed like the title track wasn't even the strongest here though it is plenty representative of the album. i will probably listen again but i don't see my opinion changing; at the same time the band seems aware enough of their strengths because i'm pretty sure there's twice as much clean stuff across the entire album as there is heavier stuff, so, lol
Yeah, the ending is great, and Story of the Eye was the song I was first planning to send. I think the weird strings into flute stuff make a pretty good transition into the slow section. Also, that song has one of my favourite Hypno5e riffs, the one around 3:55.

Honestly, I think this album and Shores of the Abstract Line are about equal, but I think you'd like that one more, has slightly less harsh vocals and when they're present they blend in a little more naturally with the instrumentals I feel. So yeah definitely that one second. Then there's Des Deux L'une Est L'autre which is a revisited version of their debut, they cut some stuff out and added some material, and I guess both are a bit more experimental and raw than the other two albums.
you should've sent story of the eye lol, yeah
also i am listening to shores now. i agree, i like this more. though their overuse of samples is a bit, killing me
but yeah the metal that is here is better and it feels like there's a lot less of it
i may check out their other stuff but lol is it impossible to find any of their albums for a reasonable price

i've checked them out before but never found their music enjoyable enough to warrant a purchase, is the new one any good?

as far as stuff i've been relistening to, i'm finding both oddland albums to be pretty enjoyable, will definitely be getting one but leaning towards the first one, actually, felt a bit more dynamic and organic overall though tbh i'll probably end up with both eventually. a style of prog metal i am really enjoying, evidently
also relistening to that kaddisfly album and being like "this is basically just a better el cielo" and that kind makes me want to pick it up. i dig the album. it's a good album even if it's too long

in other non-roulette news, Der Weg einer Freiheit - Finisterre is a rad as hell black metal album that i am super enthusiastic about
and the previous exist album before their newest might actually be better, relistening and damn it just feels... more mature and diverse, ironically

This is actually the first Adimiron album I've checked out. I have a few others lined up in a playlist I've not gotten to yet. So it feels a little short but it has that early Opeth approach to progressive metal with death growls. I wasn't 100% focused on it but I definitely want to relisten. It left a pretty good impression. I'll go for round 2 after listening to the new Ne Obliviscaris  :metal

So after a second listen I'm really digging the new Adimiron album. They nail the contrast between harsh vocals and clean that I really love, much like Opeth. They also have lots of great melodic guitar work on this record. Some of it is kinda prog metal by numbers but I really like it.

New Ne Obliviscaris was pretty good too. I wouldn't call myself a huge fan but it was good  :metal

there are parts of this i do like but it's either monotonous (the stuff i do like) or boring (parts 3 and 4, which i did not like). actually part 4 would be cool without the vocal thing like i said in my writeup. but yeah. i could see myself getting into something -like- this but not exactly this album itself
I personally find this one quite dreamy - sure probably a bit monotonous for a focused listen, but when it's on the background while I'm doing something mentally undemanding, it's magnificent. Took quite some time to grow on me and I love it now.

My god Parama, I cannot believe that you listened to that amount of albums coming from your roulette songs.
I listened to the 2 best of roulette CDs and the metal one has some interesting songs I don't know.
I also found the Disillusion song, I'm glad you also liked the album.
I think you'll like Silent Machine by Twelve Foot Ninja as much as Outlier and Polar Similar by Norma Jean as much as Wrongdoers, if you want to do it in the future.

As amazing as Long Season is, I would say the best Fishmans release by far for me is their live album 98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare, one of the best live albums ever IMO. It's emotional, nice range of different type of songs, and it ends with Long Season in its entirety - which manages to top the studio album. Throw in other brilliant tracks like "In the Air" and it's just really good. I managed to hunt it down on CD last year and while it cost me a whooping 85 bucks, I consider it one of my most special albums that I've bought. :)

gave this a spin, felt way better than any of the stuff i'd heard from them previously, was actually pretty dang solid. more melodic and dynamic than what i recall of them. may check it out further.

also lisened to both the last two hypno5e albums again, i do wanna get one of them i think but can't really decide on which. acid mist tomorrow feels like it has higher highs (a lot of the last two movements and some parts of song of the eye) but weaker metal overall while shores is more consistent but never really reaches any major peaks, just a solid baseline of quality. dunno. i need to decide soon though, i meant to order like, by the time the new NeO album came out... almost two weeks ago...

At first I found the narration a bit jarring and distracting but the more I listen to the album, the more it has grown on me. Not one of my favorite Gizz albums, but I would say it's sitting comfortably in the middle somewhere. A lot of great ideas musically and the narration makes the album unique.

I got confirmation it was Simon who did the artwork.

(https://i.imgur.com/u5PiwbT.png)

That artwork looks like imitation Simon Bisley. I don't think it's actually him but it's a similar style.

That might not be a far stretch.

Nice...

I mean this is the sort of artwork I remember Simon Bisley doing

I love his style. That GWAR album just feels a bit like someone trying to copy his style, but not as good! The arms of the blue guy in the bottom left are classic Bisley style  :heart

Working through some more 2017 albums. This seems really good. I thought it'd be way more death metal but I'm loving it. Will check out pt.2 later  :corn
I mean they're way more black metal than death metal but
Act 2 is definitely heavier also

Ok yea, Act II is certainly heavier. You're right about black metal levels. Reminds me of Dimmu Borgir in places, especially those harsh vocals.

Sum41 was a pure nostalgia hit on the way to work this morning, love it. Takes me back to being 17 again.

Blackwater Park is obviously amazing and I'm so looking forward to seeing these guys for the first time in years, next week.

I've gotta say that Citadel is easily my favourite Ne Obliviscaris album. Painters of the Tempest (Part II): Triptych Lux is just great.

It's King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. They're kinda hard to describe genre-wise since they tend to change from album to album, but I would say a mixture of Psychedelic Rock and Garage Rock. But then they dive into Folk, Prog, Jazz, Metal and other genres as well. Highly recommend them, they got some longer songs that might please some of the progheads here as well. :)

I just discovered the early Marillion with Fish.  Loving Misplaced Childhood and have it on order with ITunes. I tried to order a copy on ebay, but it never arrived and they just gave me a credit.

That is an interesting album cover.  Who is the band and what type of music?

It's King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. They're kinda hard to describe genre-wise since they tend to change from album to album, but I would say a mixture of Psychedelic Rock and Garage Rock. But then they dive into Folk, Prog, Jazz, Metal and other genres as well. Highly recommend them, they got some longer songs that might please some of the progheads here as well. :)

Thanks for the recommend.  I enjoyed this very much and will probably purchase. Really trippy!

Luoto, is this the same Constantine that did Divine Design? It sounds like them, so I assume it is. This sounds much better than Resign Due.

Yep, the same band minus one member who wrote almost all music before this album. Esthesia has by far the best vocal performance.

It's the same singer though, right. I freaking loved Divine Design. The Darkest Grace is one of the best songs of this decade. But I was so disappointed with Resign Due. Unfortunately, it's not on Amazon.

Yeah, it was self-released so distribution channels aren't that extensive (it's on Google Play though). It doesn't even exist on a physical medium.

act ii leans more to the rock side of things and less showtunes than later acts, so yeah, i dig it

ngl, I slightly preferred Act I to Act II. I dig the chamber pop/showtunes vibe that they have going on there sometimes. My only real complaint with Act I was that it was too short (and maybe that like 2 minutes of vinyl ambiance at the end of the album).

I still really liked Act II though. I'm starting Act III now.

Sufjan at his most maximalist, blending those electronic and orchestral elements into complex arrangements and beautiful songs. I love the 26-min epic Impossible Soul. In a way it reminds of this year's Planetarium (both were written around the same time) but without the ambient sections.

Steven Wilson - Grace for Drowning. It's one of the only SW solo albums I haven't listened through all the way yet. I'm definitely liking it so far.

Also just finished giving Yes - Drama a proper listen. It was fine. Not really great, but not bad by any stretch of the imagination. Machine Messiah is a pretty killer song tho

Some highlights of the albums I've been listening to the past weeks:

(https://www.ninehertz.co.uk/incoming/ConvergeArtwork.jpg)(https://www.thefamilycrestfamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Beneath-The-Brine-cover-art.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2575559421_10.jpg)(https://www.nieuweplaat.nl/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Manchester-Orchestra.jpg)(https://d1h6olfj08dopz.cloudfront.net/images/25467/the_dear_hunter3.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3488149262_10.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2268603415_10.jpg)

Converge - The Dusk In Us: I'm loving this way more than I expected, this music is normally a little too grunty for me but this kinda struck a chord. I guess I can kind of connect more to the singers emotions than the other bands in this genre I've heared.
The Family Crest - Beneath The Brine: I can really recommend this band to any The Dear Hunters fan, it's no coincidence this band is supporting them on their tour, really love the orchestral elements here.
Ulver - Assasination of Julius Ceasar: Love the trip hoppish vibes here, still haven't gotten into any of their other albums though
TDH - The Color Spectrum: I love Indigo, Red and Black, but overall it's too long for me to listen to often, especially since it has quite some songs that don't stand out too much
Vulfpeck - Mr. Finish Line: Vulfpeck deliver again! Captain Hook is genious  :lol
ASIWYFA - The Endless Shimmering: Possibly my favourite of theirs, they balance the busy math rockish parts with more atmospheric post-rockish parts than on their previous albums

Definitely what makes Converge stand out from most hardcore bands in general is how brutally honest and emotional their music is while still being  :metal . That's definitely a great record by them, glad they're back.

Do you have any recommendations for other albums by them?

Haven't explored all of their catalogue yet, but I've heard their previous record was pretty diverse and well-received. Jane Doe might be a little chaotic for you, but its lyrical content might appeal you anyways. Axe to Fall is pretty straightforward, even with some solos, at times feels like Megadeth in steroids  :lol

dvne: i dig the sound of this album in general but aside from the last track i can't really say a lot of this particularly sticks out for me. is it bad? haha no it's good stuff. is it great though? can't really say it is. i will continue spinning it for a bit longer though to see if it really clicks with me, i suppose, but i dunno
eidola: i'll freely admit when i'm wrong and yeah this is a lot better than their new one, really. the two songs before and two songs after contra all get lost in the shuffle but everything else is good though it's not without flaws either. like the closer track has some friggin' fantastic vocals in the first half but drags on far too long after that without doing much of anything. and humble ledger is still two completely unrelated songs that crashed into each other. but ehh nah i do like this a fair bit on the whole
sunpocrisy: another case where i enjoy the general sound but the songs don't quite pop for me, though i would say i generally like this one more, it's a bit more diverse it feels like. phi is probably the heaviest song really, the last three tracks are one long suite but stay a lot tamer throughout. and i dig the intro track too, love me some guitar feedback drones. i still wanna spin this one more because it's the kind of sound i really like and i do enjoy listening to this for sure but it's not quite reaching a level of "great" for me yet

Post by: Ninjabait on December 03, 2017, 12:10:51 PM
Just listened:
Igorrr - Savage Sinsuoid (2.0/5) - Avant-garde Metal - I voiced my thoughts on this album in the main Igorrr thread, but this a collage of really good moments and ideas stuck together without any larger plan or reason besides experimentation for its own sake. "Au Revoir" is good tho.
NERO - Welcome Reality (3.0/5) - Brostep - Didn't really dislike it, but none of the tracks really stood out as particularly great to me. Eh.
Venetian Snares - Rossz csillag alatt született (3.0/5) - Breakcore/Modern classical - Combining string instruments with breakcore is a pretty decent idea, but the album dips into modern classical and quotes from existing classical music instead of new material too much for my tastes. Not really any stand out tracks.

Currently listening:
Triana - El piato - Spanish classic progressive rock. Only two tracks in so far, but I'm digging it. Fits very nicely into the 70s symphonic prog genre while still maintaining their own style. Will probably get a good rating from me.

Queued Up:
Anubis Gate - Anubis Gate
Agnes Obel - Philharmonics and/or Agnes Obel - Aventine
The Gloaming - The Gloaming
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
Rhapsody of Fire - The Frozen Tears of Angels
Elvenking - The Pagan Manifesto
Ancient Bards - Soulless Child

Oh, there's a new Trivium? I should probably check that out. I've only heard Silence in the Snow so far, but I thought that was a pretty good album and have been procrastinating on checking out more of their stuff.

Kingcrow - Eidos. I'm only two songs in, but I'm really glad I stumbled upon this great Prog band from Italy. Lots of Opeth (sans death metal)/Pocupine Tree influence, but they manage to put their unique spin on Progressive Metal. Some really good tunes here, and I'm going to give it a solid early recommendation based on what I've heard so far.

The new Trivium is actually really good. Back to Shogun form, in my opinion.

this is alright. the story is kind of handled poorly, it's basically two different stories loosely connected & each takes up half the album which means the album has to rise and fall twice & only really has like a half hour to go through the more important arc. and the main singer is not particularly great, okay, but ehh. a lot of the guests make up for it but a few are annoying too. and the sillier-sounding songs are all a bit grating. but there's a lot of good here too.

TDH fans would probably like this more than i do, i think

Eclectic mix of Evergrey-esque atmospheres, occasional thrashy melodeath bits and even some later Gojira influence. The best thing about this would probably be the atmospheric gothic style vocals, though some of them are a bit too low in the mix. Really liking this nevertheless.

Yes, that's the actual title. It's a good album so far (through 2/11 songs). Almost impossible to not bob your head to. Some good electro swing here.

Eclectic mix of Evergrey-esque atmospheres, occasional thrashy melodeath bits and even some later Gojira influence. The best thing about this would probably be the atmospheric gothic style vocals, though some of them are a bit too low in the mix. Really liking this nevertheless.

Moving on to something completely different: Periphery - Juggernaut: Alpha. Also liking it so far, it's definitely...different from the electro swing album I just listened to.

dreadnought - probably ranks between their first two albums for me. i kind of wish these guys would try writing more compact songs instead of these long meandering pieces that fade in and out of being interesting. though i will say the last track is one of their better long tracks & the opener is solid too. it doesn't really feel like they're doing much new here either, just adding a bit of heaviness to the bridging realms sound but not otherwise changing much? i think the vocals have more presence here than their previous albums too. i enjoy it but it's hard to get really into it.
enslaved - ooh yeah this is good stuff. dunno if i like it quite as much as riitiir but it's close. hiindsiight is song of the year, and storm son and sacred horse are pretty great too, really the only track that's a bit meh is track 5, just feels... off. but no yeah this didn't disappoint, not gonna be my aoty but i'll def be revisiting it plenty, moreso than the other enslaved album i got earlier this year tbh. i need to check out in times for sure
ne obliviscaris - this is fine enough but honestly it feels like a NeO album on autopilot. they're not pushing any boundaries, they're not doing anything fresh, they're just doing what they did on citadel, but.... not any different. not as good either but there's just a base level of enjoyment you're gonna get from a NeO album and it's definitely pleasant enough to listen to. intra venus is probably the best track though lol

Caravan Palace - <I°_°I>

Yes, that's the actual title. It's a good album so far (through 2/11 songs). Almost impossible to not bob your head to. Some good electro swing here.

Caravan Palace are so much fun live  :heart

It's probably the album that I've wanted to return most to, out of all the Enslaved albums I've heard. It may be helped by the fact that they played Storm Son and Sacred Horse when I saw them support Opeth recently, really digging both of those tunes. I'd say I prefer it over In Times but IT is certainly worth a listen! Will possibly break my top 10 albums this year.


For me, giving this a listen now it's out:

this is so dumb, but strangely fascinating. the vocals pretty consistently suck/feel unnecessary though and it's not like there's anything remotely resembling a hook
but yeah like 80 minutes of avant garde wank metal i dunno. it has its moments. i might relisten but probably not something i'd get much more enjoyment out of

Earth, Wind, & Fire - I Am

This is pretty consistently decent. I'm not completely blown away, but the songs are all very pleasant to listen to. Some darn nice grooves and melodies in here.

Also, I absolutely approve of the DSO, NeO, and Mahler. And the DT, obviously.

brand new: yeah this is pretty solid but i'm already kind of getting tired of it. it feels a lot less emotionally deep that the devil and god and mostly focuses just on really memorable hooks. a few dud tracks too, could never be heaven and desert especially. 451 is probably the best track just for being both very different for the band and yet really damn good and memorable. sucks that jesse lacey is a sexual predator though
caligula's horse: this is their worst album, easily. for one, the talky track is awful, i started skipping it only a few listens in. i hate that kind of thing every time. mostly it just feels like they wanted to make graves (which is pretty good) but didn't have a lot else to offer; the two ballads both feel like filler tunes, as do tracks 3 and 7 (the latter is just a straight-faced ripoff of the sound of the tide's sound except without the emotional depth). but i'll give credit, tracks 2 and 5 are both pretty good & tracks 1 and 9 are solid too. it's still not awful by any means, way better than the last few DT records, but that's not saying much
der weg einer freiheit: man, these songs have so goddamn much personality without ever straying too far from the album's core sound. german metal bands just tore it the hell up this year and this is easily in my top 5 releases of the year. tons of raw emotion, some really savage and sinister passages too, and yet a great ear for melody throughout. wish all black metal could maintain this level of diversity and intesnity

Eminem - Revival

I'm not knowledgeable on rap, I don't dislike all rap but I'm the stereotypical white listener whose only rap CDs on his shelves are Eminem. That said I'm loving this album and really surprised to see so much hate for it on Reddit

Currently making my way through some of my plug discoveries.

Currently listening to: Earthside - A Dream in Static (two songs in but I'm liking it so far)

Recently listened:
Headspace - I Am Anonymous (4.0/5.0)
The Great Divide - Duende (4.0/5.0)
Slice the Cake - Odyssey to the West (4.0/5.0)
The Devin Townsend Project - Addicted (4.0/5.0)
The Thirteenth Sun - Stardust (3.5/5.0)
Grimus - Egretta (3.5/5.0)
Liar - Spirewards (3.5/5.0)

A lot of really strong vocals from these albums. Especially Headspace, Slice the Cake, and The Great Divide. Oddly enough for Progressive Metal, the vocals have consistently been the highlight of the past three albums I listened to.

First time listening to this album and...it's a lot better than I thought it would be. It's actually pretty bangin. Speechless is the stand out track so far.

First time listening to this & damn, I haven't had my prog-boundaries pushed so far since I first heard Crack The Skye. Really loving this album. Not huge on the soundscapes (title track could be like half the length), but the actual songs are some of the most interesting I've heard. Cassandra Gemini is a favourite, as is Cygnus. Definitely going to be playing this a ton, it's the kind of album where there's always something new you notice each time you listen. It's really refreshing & I don't think I've ever heard anything quite like it before.

Huuuuge Frances fan here, the title track was actually left off the official release and definitely makes the album an easier listen but I get what you're saying (especially L'via into Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore). If you want 2 stylistically similar albums with less background transition noise check out Amputechture or Deloused in the Comatorium.

I'm aware of the title track being left off, but I actually love the soundscapes in Miranda. I dunno, maybe it's just because they suit the theme of the song more, but I couldn't imagine the same experience without the extra 9 minutes of Miranda, whereas I've made a version where I cut the intro & outro to the title track & I notice barely any difference (actually, cutting the outro so it ends right where Sarcophagi comes in transitions quite nicely into Cygnus, I may upload that cut later).

I'll definitely check out those albums when I've fully digested this one though.

Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster

I've been listening to a lot of Prog and Metal lately (playing major catch-up on this year's releases; Trivium, Leprous, Caligula's Horse, etc.), and I needed a break. First time listening to this album and...it's a lot better than I thought it would be. It's actually pretty bangin. Speechless is the stand out track so far.

Does not compute.

:lol

Well, I'm one of those people who can't listen to too much of the same thing straight in a row. After about hours of good-but-not-amazing straight-edge Prog Metal, it all starts to "weigh" on me and starts boring me. I need to mix-it up a bit.

Anywho:

Little Richard - Here's Little Richard

Talking about the Big 4 of original Rock'n'Roll in the other thread got me in the mood for some classic 50s Rock'n'Roll.

Not shocking that these wouldn't be on your radar.  And yeah... all of the prog-metal or power-metal variety.  The Scardust album is fairly growl-heavy (relatively speaking for my tastes).  There's a possibility you'd tolerate it.   :biggrin:

@ Tim... that Fireforce album was actually kinda disappointing.  Enjoyable enough, but fairly standard stuff.

I will be checking out the Scardust album tonight. Fireforce doesn't reinvent the wheel by any stretch, but as you say, enjoyable enough. Sometimes, I just don't want to think too hard, if you know what I mean.

They were on the 2016 show? Hmm... Brent, I need the tracklist PM'd to me when you release the 2017 podcast. I can't follow along for 6 hours and remember jack shit. :lol

I listened on YouTube.

It's listed on Amazon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-kp6UJPbGQ

14.99 plus 3.99 shipping? $18? I might have to do it... Or I could wait for the dude to hook you up. ;D

Romeo,Romeo.........where art thou drummer  ;D

He does get a drummer in Tim but other than that it's the one guy writing, singing, guitaring, bassing.

And that Discogs link isn't live Parama ("no longer available" when you click on the Buy link).

Outline in Color - Jury of Wolves.

Not my first listen to this, but it's such a great album.The genre is "Melodic Trancecore" (basically Melodic Metalcore with added synths and electronic elements) overall, but it's a concept album with a lot of varied influences from pop punk to a little bit of indie and alternative. There are little moments here and there that remind me of The Dear Hunter, but it's not hugely similar. Strongly recommend!

I think I paid him 8 or 9 dollars via Paypal and got the files in 5 mins.   Just messaged him via the Facebook page. My fake/dormant Facebook profile comes in handy occasionally for things like this :lol

Sampled a couple of tracks from the new one and was massively underwhelmed. I just can’t listen to drums going ten to the dozen all the time. 🙉

ABBA was one of those bands that I never knew I needed in my life until I listened to them for the first time. Their music is so consistently fantastic, I love it.

Decided I needed a break from prog metal, so I decided to dig up these albums from my collection (which I got way back in 2013).

Dreaming Out Loud - Starts out fine, but gets REALLY boring towards the end when everything starts to blend together. I think because every song tries to be either the most climatic song ever or the most empty, calm song ever, it just messes with the pacing after a while. I still love Tyrant though.  :|

Waking Up - Every bit as awesome as I remembered it. It fixes most of the issues I had with the debut & it makes even the most calm & empty-sounding songs catchy & enjoyable, & rather than the debut where you're waiting for it to end, this one is over before you even realise. & that's not even mentioning the epic "Missing Persons" & the title track. I'd still recommend this one to this day. It gud.  :tup

Native - This is terrible. If I Lose Myself is a decent track, but everything else just reeks of either this forced-positivity bullshit (Feel Again, I Lived) or it's so confused & all over the place that it can't establish any real tone (Light It Up, Can't Stop). I couldn't even finish this one, it was so disappointing from an album I used to really enjoy when it came out.  :facepalm:

I still haven't checked the new one out because I hated the singles. I might do that later though, just out of sheer curiosity.

i need to catch up on these woops

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2229860900_10.jpg)(https://img.discogs.com/hFyds7hDlZoc4MGJKVhq-yvPapw=/fit-in/500x500/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-5374310-1391805507-4566.jpeg.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0332897407_5.jpg)

amenra: pretty solid post-metal, i think it's a bit underwritten at times but i really like the third main track a lot and there's some good stuff in all the tracks in general. not a favorite or anything but it's enjoyable enough
kaddisfly: this, however, is a favorite. damn. i knew this would be good and it... basically just lived up to my expectations. it's just a much better el cielo. i will continue to repeat that. via rail and forest are both amazing tracks and there's a lot of good to great tracks here besides, only like one or two tracks i'm not huge on but nothing bad at all. but yeah. good concept, booklet here is really nice especially, good music, what more can you ask for
pallbearer: i really, genuinely love the last track here but the rest of the album is just... ehh. i've been listening to it for like a month now and still couldn't tell you much about the rest of the tracks here. it's even weaker than the latest elder, which i was also not a huge fan of, but ehh, this style just isn't really for me i guess. still, one great song at least, i guess

(https://technicaldeathmetal.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Cover53.jpg)(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3539147117_10.jpg)(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E-_qjY2ucfE/T54Uqsp2IAI/AAAAAAAAD-I/LVpPRiRtv9Q/s1600/Oddland_artwork.jpg)

exist: this might genuinely be better than their 2017 album, which i already like a lot. the biggest roadblock is that vessel is notably weak & kills the moment of the album but the other 6 tracks are rad as hell with just, so many creative and interesting instrumental moments & the album flows so well besides, i literally have no clue what vessel is doing on this album, it doesn't belong and is really dull compared to the rest of this good god damn prog metal music. sheesh. like okay no one song blows me away but they're all setting a pretty high bar and keeping me engaged, except this one track. bleh
hypno5e: i got exactly what i expected here. every track is better than the last except maybe the first two are about on the same level. the first two tracks? okay. third track? pretty good? last two tracks? great. i think the less metal they get the more i like them, obviously, but there's some good metal moments here (mostly relegated to tracks 3 onward - see my point). i wouldn't call it a favorite album but i like it, yeah. more than the one song i got in my roulette would've led me to believe
oddland: this album has some good songs and then some songs that get lost in the shuffle, and some notably weak songwriting moments (the one slower song that breaks into this crazy prog bit near the end and then just goes back to the chorus after is laughable, i think it's track 5). it's a good style in general but it's not grabbing my interest as strongly as exist (and, spoiler, adimiron which i'll talk about more next week). but it's still pretty good prog metal regardless, yeah. iirc ire was the best track between both of their albums (and it is, really good) but i think i liked origin more on the whole so we'll see when i get to spinning that in a few weeks

Dvne - Asheran

It's good overall, has a nice Mastodon-vibe to it which I enjoy. I don't think it's an amazing album, but it's pretty solid. It's almost over, so I'm planning on mixing it up a little and continue exploring Aphex Twin's monstrous discography. I listened to the first Select Ambient Works album and it was fantastic, so I'm thinking of just moving on to the second one but it's 2 hours long which is a little daunting.

Composer of the soundtracks for EarthBound, Metroid, Balloon Fight, Super Mario Land, and Tetris finally released a solo album last year and it's so fun and lovely chiptune stuff with lots of genres infused here. He described the album "the culmination of my harder side, the kind of game music you hear in EarthBoundʼs battle tracks". Very nice stuff.

adimiron: last 2017 album i got and it's, pretty good yeah. this style of prog metal is pretty well up my alley and basically all the songs have a bit of flavor to them too. i can't say any of this hits strongly on an emotional level, maybe a bit dry in that sense but the technicality and songwriting itself is cool stuff, can't say there's a track here i dislike
daughter: any of these songs in isolation i probably like more than the album as a whole, youth is one of the better tracks i guess but not the best either. human's the only one i dislike which is weird since it's the only one that really stands out in terms of having a unique sound. but i mean i like these songs a lot, i just wish the album was a bit more diverse
sunpocrisy: this one is too long for one, absolutely no question there. i feel like they spent too much time on the subtleties of these tracks without making them too diverse overall? i dunno, it feels a bit samey and i get into it way more when i'm like, really focused on it but it's hard to do that for 70 minutes. it's totally pleasant enough to listen to at absolute worst though so w/e

Now I've finished ranking all the 2017 albums I listened to, I'm back to checking out other stuff:


(https://www.rockfreaks.net/files/a/1338470840.jpg) (https://www.avenoctum.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Spiritual-Beggars-Ad-Astra-Cover.jpg)

Hypno5e - Wasn't entirely sure what to expect going into this but I admit I was pretty underwhelmed. I have at least one other album by them on my list to check out so we'll see if that one leaves a better impression.

Spiritual Beggars - This was fine. I've been meaning to check these guys out for literally years. I was pretty big into Arch Enemy when I found out Michael Amott played in this band. I think I would've been way more into this, had I heard it like 10 years ago. It wasn't bad by any means.

And So I Watch You From Afar - This was really good. I'll admit I was quite disappointed with their latest. I'd only heard their first album and latest, before diving into this. It's got a good mix of what I liked about their debut but is much more polished. Looking forward to giving this another spin.

Saosin - Heard about these guys years ago but never did get around to listening to an album. I remembered them last year thought I'd add them to the list. I was thinking I may like this more than I did. It needs more listens definitely.

Really awesome album.... they also did one back in 2010 called Thin Ice Crawling that is really good to although Of Clans and Clones and Clowns top it a bit...

Bought both albums as CDs plus download from their bandcamp.  Waiting for the CDs to arrive...


They completed and released the video for The Aral Sea trilogy some days ago.

It has some fascinating and beautiful photography and the music is great... so anyone who has 20 minutes to spare:

aquilus: this is way too long. it's also not that great active listening music but it's pretty solid as background music? i dunno i wish the balance of orchestral stuff to black metal was leaned more in favorite of the metal, especially since there are a lot of nice crunchy riffs in the metal bits while a lot of the piano work really blends together. i sort of lose track of where i am in the album a lot though because, again, 80 minutes
chaos divine: yeah i knew this was gonna be good and surprise, it's pretty good. not mindblowingly good but the songs are all enjoyable & the level of technicality is satisfying too. i think the closer might be the weakest actually, i dunno, it feels a bit stretched thin. but it's all good stuff so really whatever
glassjaw: man yeah this is good. i think the only song i'm kinda meh on is track 5 but the rest is good. aside from the two i was sent in my roulette, tracks 6, 7, 9 (aside from the announcer bit) and 10 are all damn great & the rest doesn't slack either. probably some of the angriest music i've enjoyed but it's got both power and strong hooks to it who am i to complain

You sure are hot on the prowl for new releases.

Also the first one is the only one to not have 17 tracks.

barren earth: yeah this is pretty good. i think the two long tracks are the only two really good tracks but i don't mind the rest, it's enjoyable enough metal. i don't really have a ton else to say.
m83: this is like, the shortest-feeling 73 minute album ever. aside from half of track 6 there's nothing i dislike either, it's an easy and pleasant listen and has a fair number of tracks i really like (track 5 on both discs are the best tracks). not the kind of thing i usually listen to but i'm glad i did
skuggsja: oooh this was disappointing. i feel like the metal on this album is just enslaved b-sides he realized weren't good enough so he just dumped them on the wardruna guy. like okay the first long track has like two riffs total and one of them is awful. and it's just a very dry album. i liked this more at first but my patience really ran out after a few listens and there's just, not a lot interesting here since the folk aspects by themselves don't hold my interest

that was the 3rd Symphony.

I've only listened to the 1st and 3rd from that set so far, but both sound fantastic.

Cool! My personal favourites are Nos. 2, 4 and 6. The opening movement of No. 2 is some of the most stormy and turbulent music written by a British composer. His orchestration is magnificent; I often think of him as the British Ravel, another great master of orchestration.

My first impression would be "Between the Tool and Opeth", with a bit more focused yet fairly technical songwriting. Pretty cool.

blut aus nord: stylistically i want to really like this album but a lot of these songs feel more like ideas that don't really get developed on rather than full songs. noisy, dissonant, cold, but relatively simple in structure and generally pretty repetitive too. i also think the ambient interlude tracks are too bare to really evoke much of anything. i've kinda consistently had trouble really getting into their music it feels like and that's a bit of a shame
suspyre: ehh, about half of this is pretty good, the other half is... fine but kinda generic prog metal fare. reign is one of the better tracks, sure, siren and the closer as well both have a lot of cool moments. apparitions has some cool stuff too but a really weak chorus. i think there's a good 45-50 minute album somewhere in here but it needed quality control, and not to be 75 minutes long
zinnschaeur: this is basically just acoustic hirsch effekt. it's good. i don't know if being acoustic is a great stylistic choice for the type of music and it took me a while to be able to distinguish the tracks but there's a lot here to enjoy, even a few surprisingly intense moments and a pretty cool level of technical skill for an album that's 95% acoustic guitar and vocals.

hacride - well this is pretty good. not as good as lazarus & not really in the same style either which is what put me off of it originally but taking it on its own it's a pretty solid, if a bit short and maybe colorless metal album. don't think it or anything else the band has put out matches up to lazarus though, ehh
hypno5e - i think this is an overall better album experience than meme album tomorrow but the songs here also don't "pop" like the last two songs on that album. it sort of just feels like the same song 4 times with one acoustic track in the middle. it's definitely leaning more on atmosphere and there's still some metal i like here but i'm finding it hard to really point to any parts of tracks i find that memorable
oddland - yeah i think overall this is a slight bit better than the treachery of senses, despite lacking a song as good as ire. though the heavy riff near the end of hidden is one of the best riffs i've ever heard, honestly. but yeah i feel like the songs here stand on their own a bit better than on their first album, i dig it

While Inconsolabilis EP from last year has gotten worse over time, that album you listed has cemented itself as the more alternative and straightforward metal version of the version of Hacride that I'm used to and love. It's solid, but a bit more out of my comfortzone when it comes to metal.

Shores could be my favourite Hypno5e album, just because North Shore is probably the best multi-song suite they have put out except for maybe Gehenne 1,2,3. Also not sure if it was intentional or they just recycled the same riff but the callback on In Our Deaf Lands to the Acid Mist Tomorrow titletrack is awesome.

i'm pretty sure it's intentional, since i feel like there's two riffs in a row that are a callback to that same bit of title track tomorrow
but uhh north shore is like the least interesting of all the main tracks to me  :lol

Yea, it's been a slow start. The new Machine Head isn't terrible, I enjoyed the new Orphaned Land and Audrey Horne.

Listening to this now:

Better than most of the other albums I've checked out so far this year.

Got high hopes for Harakiri for the Sky's new album. Mainly looking forward to the new albums from Oceans of Slumber and Frank Turner.

One interesting thing I noticed when grabbing the link for The Ultimate Sin is that on Metal Archives (where "softer" albums are normally given short shrift from the metalheads) , The Ultimate Sin - which some seem to think is a soft sellout - only rates one point  behind Diary of A Madman in terms of most highly rated in the whole  Ozzy discography.

Ozzmosis on the other hand cops it in the neck - 47% average :lol

WTF Ozzmosis is awesome. But so are TUS and Diary, so eh what do I care what they think.
I don't see how TUS is a soft sellout, except obviously Shot in the Dark, which is awesome anyway.

wanted to check out the album that beat me in train's roulette bcuz why not

a new tomorrow: okay opener but didn't really impress me

the search: okay so there's some metal on this album, sure. i liked this for the most part but felt it dragged a bit at the end/lyrics got really repetitive mostly

loneliness at the door: can't really point to any specific qualities but i liked this one the most so far

35 dollar special: not a fan of the samples as ever but the climax of this is pretty cool & it's nice throughout

the storm behind your eyes:  this is just bland. not unpleasant but evokes absolutely nothing from me

your drama: dig the heaviness & the climax is solid but the vocal effects throughout this song get on my nerves. and also i'm not a huge fan of this vocalist to begin with. still solid overall

sin: cos, tan. but yeah this is solid too. some moments of this (esp. that staccato riff) really work for me, some parts are just kinda there.

i think overall what would keep me from not being too interested in this on the whole is 1. the vocals, i am just not a fan of the style 2. struggling to find something notably unique about this, it's not the only thing that matters for me and if you just do something familiar really damn well that's generally good too but uniqueness is a big factor for sure

Don't know how I have failed to checkout VdGG earlier in my life. I feel ashamed about that now.

At least I will get to see Peter Hammill live soon. Hopefully he plays A House With No Door as it was played at least once last year.

Better on the second listen. Would be so much better without those blatant Whitesnake riffs. When they just play in the style it’s great.

I've been into synthpop lately and this is a nice one. Still don't like it as much as some other people but it might grow on me, we'll see.

Franz Ferdinand - Always ascending

Not a bad album by any means, but it might be their most "okay" one so far. The title track is great, I like The Academy award quite a bit as well, but that might be it for great songs. Maybe it grows on me, who knows.

That new MGMT also needs a few more spins, but I enjoy it.

I've actually never listened to them, but saw they are playing all of Catch 22's Keasbey Nights on facebook which lead me to say, why then I found out it's the original catch 22 singer's band?!  I still haven't listened to them, but I was obsessed with Keasbey Nights for awhile as a kid and seen Catch 22 like 12 or so times back in the day (although never with the original singer, I just missed him).  I kind of want to go to that show but since I am so out of the loop, it sold out and super expensive on the second hand market.

Yeah dude  :tup :tup :tup

Point/Counterpoint is one of my favourite songs to sing along to!
It might be my favorite on it. But the whole album is very good.

All of their albums are pretty much at the same quality, have you heard them all? I really like the covers album they did as well, 'Hell' may be may favourite song of theirs, period!
I only know that album. I think it was the first ska punk record I've ever heard.

This is a 46 track rock opera behemoth that is separated into 3 acts and lasts over 3 and a half hours featuring 29 characters played by 29 singers. The story is loosely based on Vladímir Soloviov's "A Short Tale Of The Antichrist"

I've been listening to this almost exclusively since it was released almost 2 weeks ago. I've figured out about 2/3 of it now and I like it although it's a little samey. The Astonishing's parts separate themselves more than this. It's really good, though, just really tough to listen to all the way through at over 3 hours. Could have gone for a few more long tracks but very consistent songwriting considering its length.

You've never listened to Sublime?  They are more reggae than ska, but definitely have punk/ska elements to their music.  I'd definitely recommend listening to their self titled album.  That album was huge in the 90s and a childhood favorite of mine.

Yea, I'm in agreement with you cram, Sublime's self titles album is amazing. I love both bands but I personally like Streetlight a bit more. There is honestly so much great music that crosses reggae/ska/punk. I could recommend so much that goes from full on reggae to hard-core ska punk (skacore). The UK had an amazing scene in the early 00's. Bands like Capdown, King Prawn, {spunge}, Random Hand etc. So much amazing music  :heart

Yea, I know you know your stuff in this catagory.  Skints  :metal UK definitely has a great ska/punk scene.  I think for the US, where I live in central NJ, we've got a really strong scene as well, especially in the 90s when I was growing up and going to all the local ska/punk shows.  Bands like Streetlight Manifesto and Bouncing Souls are local to me.   I must say that I'm really not involved in the local or larger scene much at all anymore though.  I couldn't tell you who the latest ska/punk band is anymore.  Having said that, I saw Less Than Jake last weekend.  Always a good time.

I've been listening to a lot of my CD collection ever since I bought a car around 8 months ago. I keep on changing the CD's i. a CD wallet every other week or so and I'm having lots of fun listening to records I haven't heard in ages. Here's a couple of things I listened to last week:

Beardfish - Sleeping in Traffic Part Two
Damn, this album is lots of fun. Especially the title track. I could remember lots of it, some things that get permanently stuck in my head are various parts of Cashflow and the title track. Great stuff!

Flying Colors - s/t
This album is way better than I remembered,some great songs on here. The vocal lines in Infinite Fire are amazing, guitar work is really good and the song-writing is very fitting for the overall mood and flow of the album.[/b]

The Dear Hunter - Act Two: The Meaning Of, And All Things Regarding Ms. Leading
Without a single doubt in my mind the best Dear Hunter album. Everything about this album is good; from the apparently rawness, to some of the best songs the band has done. This album features at least three 'goosebump tracks' and that's a remarkable feat. I love this record so much.

Flying Colors - Second Nature
After the debut album, I hoped this album would somehow strike with me as well, but it is unfortunately as I remembered it. A dull, boring record, that tries too hard to be more pretentious than the first, while the strength of the first was in not being overly complicated, with good song-writing. This album seems to be the counterpart to that. It does have some good songs (Peaceful Harbor comes to mind), but most are overwrought and stretched out too long. Bummer.

Defecto - Nemesis: Tons of catchy stuff on here, the softer and more melodically driven vocal passages are probably the weaker parts on the album and sometimes the extreme amount of synths thrown into the music is a bit grating, but the straight up gritty aggressive instrumentals and vocals are good. I think they're at their best when they channel more of their Metallica side rather than the proggier stuff. Not heavily impressed by them but I'm seeing them as support act of Persefone next month, who knows.

Allegaeon - Proponient for Sentience: Also good but not great. Album is overall too long and a bit samey, and the last track is oddly different and kind of cringy. But overall it has great moments and on average is just good.

Deftones - White Pony: Should've returned to this more often way earlier, damn, this one grew on me a lot. Might actually be my favourite Deftones album now.

Three Trapped Tigers - Silent Earthlings: Some of the best instrumental music I've heard. It's dreamy, proggy, pleasant, technical and doesn't sound too close to the standard bunch of bedroom musicians/modern instrumental progrock that you hear all the time. Way more synth-driven too with a couple retro 80's sounding moments. Best discovery at Complexity Fest this year for sure (I'd say SikTh but I was already familiar with some of their music).

Damn, this album  :heart :hefdaddy :heart :hefdaddy

I just spun the first couple of tracks on youtube cause the cover always intrigued me.  Not my type of music but something about this is really unique and has a great atmosphere.  The lyrics seem like you can relate to them too.  Probably not gonna become a new fav, but I'm interested in hearing more of it, very nice.

Yea it's really clicked for me big time. I've gotta thank Parama for sending me a song off this in my roulette. I've been aware of the band for years but I probably would never have gotten around to listening. Give it a few more spins, it's worth it.

I should probably give their latest a few more plays. I probably listened at least 4 times but it didn't do a great deal for me.

I've heard very good things about that Weedpecker album :metal I'm swamped with roulette albums so mostly listening to those right now. Wasn't very impressed with the Oceans of Slumber lead single but I will probably check it out if I've finished my higher priority list of new albums, aaaand I have never heard of Andrew W.K. :lol

(https://dis.resized.images.s3.amazonaws.com/540x540/104865.jpeg)

Listening to this right now based on Parama's Zeal & Ardor comment and it's great! Definitely hear similarities in the vocals, production and some of the electronic stuff.

Oceans of Slumber - The Banished Heart: This is really growing on me. It's more on the dark and depressing side than their last album but it works. I just love her voice  :heart  This is looking like it could end up in my top 10 of the year.

Crippled Black Phoenix - I, Vigilante: Why did I wait so long to listen to this?!?! I know this is regarded as one of, if not the, best album they've released, but damn, this hit me pretty hard. I will be downloading this asap.

Aenaon - Hypnosophy: Can't remember if one of you guys played  something off this in a plug.dj session, or if Spotify recommended it to me. Either way, this was pretty cool and some more great extreme metal with horns  :metal

Cancer Bats - Dead Set on Living: Man, I haven't listened to this band for at least a few years. I just had the urge  :tup For anyone who has never heard them, check out their cover of Sabotage (https://youtu.be/QrlPuveLAAw) by The Beastie Boys, it's incredible.

Thy Catafalque - Roka Hasa Radio: Another solid release by this band. I don't love it as much as Meta but it's still damn good.

Larry and His Flask - Hobo's Lament: This band are just so much fun and one of the best live bands I've ever seen. They've got a new album coming out this year and I just had the urge to listen through their back catalogue.

Still listening to Therion's "Beloved Antichrist".

Combine the feel of "The Astonishing" (and add another disc) and the style of "Vovin" and that's how it feels to me.  I like it a lot.

The Flower Kings: Flower Power (Disc 2)

While I'm at this stage of digesting these new-to-me Flower Kings albums, and Garden of Dreams has firmly lodged itself as a new favourite of mine, I decided to spin just Disc 2 of Flower Power to start my evening. When listening to the whole thing, it can be easy to lose attention by the time Disc 2 comes along.

Rolo Tomassi - Time Will Die and Love Will Bury It: Yep, another AOTY contender so far along with Orphaned Land, just trying to list the highlights and already end up with like half of the songs. Cannot wait to see some of these songs live in a few weeks.

Faith No More - Angel Dust: I see the problem now, you guys have tried to send me the most metal stuff off this album two times around now, but turns out that there's way better songs on the album in the less heavy stuff. Also 100% sure I've heard Midlife Crisis on some playstation game, probably need for speed or GTA.

Between the Buried and Me - Automata I: And here's AOTY contender #3, probably soon to be joined by Rivers of Nihil. Will have to wait ranking this one until the second half of the album is released but so far so good, not a single bad track on here and Yellow Eyes could in time be up there with some of BTBAM's best. Also, Condemned to the Gallows will probably become my new song to use to introduce friends of heavy music to the band, very focused song and lots of tasty heaviness.

From what I remember from just this one listen, Land of Sunshine, Midlife Crisis, smilelobber and if not for that horrendous children singing part, Be Aggressive. Malpractice isn't far behind though, that song has really grown on me since I heard the BTBAM cover and now heard it in context of the album.

Hey... we've forgiven Tim for his mis-deeds towards Winger, so I better get a 'pass' :lol.  It's not like I wasn't a fan because I didn't like them, I just wasn't into the heavy end of heavy metal back in the 80s - Accept, Motörhead, Megadeth, Slayer etc... none of that hit my CD player for some reason.

I asked to you a question for which I have no easy answer. Probably Land Of Sunshine and Malpractice, with Caffeine and smilelobber as next choices. Kindergarten, RV, Midlife Crisis, Smaller and Smaller are other songs I still listen to very rarely.

EDIT: I had a hard time remembering A Small Victory and Crack Hitler, but I'm enjoying them relistening now, although they have never been my favourites. Great album from start to finish.

Listened to it last night when I got home a couple hours after release. It's good but a bit of a dropoff near the end of the album (or my attention dropped because I was tired). I love the fact that they released a full-blown prog track though (Subtle Change), also one of my initial favourites.

Also nice you listened to Diamond Eyes by Deftones

Quickly checked this out expecting to hate it and get done with it (it's on my list), but it's not that bad actually. Seems quite Trainycore with some Paramacore on it, it's uuhhh french black metal but fun and dumb? Vocals are awful tho lel. Not really my thing anyways.

Some cool 2018 albums here!

Greyhaven - Empty Black: Awesome blend between alternative metal, metalcore and math/prog metal. Lots of Protest the Hero, Dillinger and Hirsch Effekt hints, the vocals have a lot of PtH/TDEP flairs and the guitar tone sounds notably similar to THE at times.

thebandknives - Knives: Most people would probably hate this. Sounds like Rage Against the Machine and a bit of At The Drive-In, but done in a modern way, pretty cool but the vocals are very hip-hop influenced so probably not the most DTF-ish

Album on the left sounds pretty pelagial, but also good

The one on the right is an amazing debut by a band from my city, would probably categorize it as a modern progmetal version of Meshuggah. They don't sound very similar to Meshuggah but you can definitely tell they got a lot of influence from them. Super impressed by these guys and looking forward to their release show next month!

JT rocks so much more on the live albums.  I saw this tour in Nashville in the late seventies. I remember the girl I went with and what we were drinking(vodka and orange juice), but now I sometimes forget why I walk into a room.

Can we try to cut down the back-to-back posts in the thread?  It is really starting to get long and cluttered.  If you are posting 2 or 3 times in a row, or like 4 out of 6 posts just to post new albums you are listening to, you should just be editing your post to add the new album instead of spamming up the thread with a new post every hour or so.

Why would I post fake albums? There's no point. And if you mean that you don't know the albums that I post, then well.. it is not my fault. Should I consult you before posting so that I listen only to albums that you know? Is only prog metal allowed on this thread?

And about the back-to-back posts, yes, my bad. I will edit it from now on.

:chill He's just passionate about music of all kinds, like lots of us here. Sure some album covers are crazier than others, but I doubt anybody posts fake stuff here  :smiley:

I vote to keep Chucksteak in the main thread -  that avatar is a killer + adds to the vibe  :lol

And without Chucksteak I would never have discovered Big Black Songs About Fucking  :metal

I was thinking we need 2 threads, one for ChuckSteak and one for everyone else. It's trippy looking at some of the stuff he is listening to. I have to Google to see if he's joking or if they are legit albums.

What album are you listening to? v.6

What album is ChuckSteak listening to? v.1

Why would I post fake albums? There's no point. And if you mean that you don't know the albums that I post, then well.. it is not my fault. Should I consult you before posting so that I listen only to albums that you know? Is only prog metal allowed on this thread?

And about the back-to-back posts, yes, my bad. I will edit it from now on.

I didn't mean anything bad by it. Seems like my comment was misconstrued. I am genuinely enjoying seeing his posts. I was more joking than anything. Some of it just looks so out there to me that my first thought is, 'is that real?' That's on me and not you.

Apologies for the confusion. Seems I upset some people. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't obsessed with music myself. Honestly, it's the only reason I am here.

Hey, it's all fine by me, bro. Sorry for the flood on this topic. I am also obsessed with music and the more I go 'out there', the more I realize how big this 'out there' really is. You can always go further and further.
