Radiohead - Karma Police

Frank Black - Two Spaces.

What I Got - Michael Franti & Spearhead / Sublime

Limbonic Art - From the shades of hatred

 

What a freakin' riff. Wow.

Dennis Leary - ****

 

Drat, can't post the title. Nic Cage would make it A-hole.

Metallica-One.

^teh goodness

Aye,too bad they went gay with the black album....

Ah, aye. Though I consider Load to be the start of gayness. Black was okay still.

 

Limbonic Art - The Ultimate Death Worship

 

Seriously, name a metal song title more hilarious than that. Try.

My two cents:

 

Metallica didn't "go gay" by using pedal steel or writing softer stuff for Load and Reload. Yes, those albums were bad, but it was because most of the songs were boring and forgettable, not because they weren't thrashfests. Some of the better songs were slower (Bleeding Me and Until it Sleeps come to mind).

 

St. Anger is possibly the worst album I have ever heard, and it had plenty of "thrash" to it. It was a vain attempt to recapture the fan base which considered them softies and left them. Apparently, Lars & co. thought by playing longer songs really fast they could recall Master of Puppets-era greatness. They must have forgotten that for that to work, you need interesting songs. So to those who whined and whined about how Metallica went soft, partial blame goes to you for the atrocity that is St. Anger.

 

I remember my first reaction to St. Anger:

"Did Kirk quit the band too?"

 

Also, that review of Pavement pretty much nails the indie-rock scene. There were plenty of indie-scenesters at my college, and what an incestuous group they were. It was hard as hell to get a gig at the punk/indie club in town for my old band, although we could play at another bar twice a week if we wanted. I always said it was because we washed our hair too often. Maybe we needed bigger black frames for our glasses. Or maybe we weren't skinny enough.

 

My favorite Pavement album is Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (although I think repeating the title is quite unneccessary).

The Big Trouble - Die Happy

Interesting thoughts, Drabek. hmmmm :Eldar's looking thoughtful as he tries to wake up in the morning icon:

 

Oh, I'm listening to the computer hum in my sister and brother-in-law's guest bedroom.

Should I have used "ghey", instead. I have no problem if bands go soft, as long as their music stays good.

 

Like Oprhaned Land, for instance:

 

OL - Beloveds Cry

 

Morning, Eldar.

Yes,that is indeed what I meant...

 

Edit:AiC-Them Bones.

Welcome To My Life - Simple Plan

My favorite Pavement album is Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (although I think repeating the title is quite unneccessary).

I like Pavement as well. My favorite song has to be Summer Babe (winter Version). I watched them live once. Interesting band. I made eye contact with the bass player for about half a minute.

In Metallica's defense, I got St. Anger a while before it came out and put it on and everyone liked it, then when they found out it was Metallica they were all like 'teh suck!' Everybody expects so much from Metallica it's almost no wonder they're disappointed.

 

Not me, oh no, I always preferred Iron Maiden.

 

Tool - Parabola

What can you expect from Metallica anymore?

 

They haven't released a decent record since the black album(which I consider the starting point of the decline due to the ballads,which they said they'll never do,of course you could say the same about One and the first video).

 

The band seem interested in making Radio\MTV friendly metal these days.

 

The old Metallica is dead.RIP.

I think Metallica started to decline with And Justice for All, but that's just me. There's some decent songs on both that one and Black album, but I don't think either come anywhere close to Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, or Kill em all.

 

Listening to Megadeth - Hanger 18

Immortal - Grim and Frostbitten Kingdoms <-- Hilarious title :D

 

As for Metallica, they simply went from young, intoxicated and inspiring to old, sober and boring.

Louis Amstrong - Skokiaan

 

Good jazz blues oldies...

Tool - Parabola

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

me wub that song

 

Tool - Prison Sex

Tool isnt heavy enough for my liking. I like to listen to something that has a certain Zing in it to capture my attention. Like:

 

Slayer=Angle of Desath

NoMeansNo-The Land of the Living.

Minus the Bear - This Aint a Surfing Movie
