fastpunk Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 We talked about it last page. Awesome album. Ah, my bad. I missed the last few pages of this thread. Anyway, I'm still in Massive Attack fever. Listening to Antistar right now. "We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing." - Oliver Wendell Holmes

BicycleOfDeath Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I picked up The Faint's Wet From Birth (2004) and Avenged Sevenfold's S/T (2007) on vinyl yesterday. I bought the latter because it was on clearance. Fear Factory's Mechanize (2010) is all ready out on CD. Still awaiting my record store to get the vinyl in. It's a really great album. It has a lot of the elements of the Demanufacture/Obselete days but is still new and a type of greatness that only Fear Factory can achieve. Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.

vault_overseer Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Damn Heligoland moved me to go back and add all of Massive Attack to my iPhone. Now I'm stuck listening to Massive Attack day and night.
BicycleOfDeath Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I quite enjoyed their 90's albums but their new one hasn't appealed to me all that much. Gave it one listen and I'll have to give it a few more. Just have a bunch of other stuff on my plate that I'm enjoying at the moment. Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
vault_overseer Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Oh it's absolutely fantastic. Especially Flat of the Blade, Paradise Circus and Saturday Come Slow.
Starwars Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Irish traditional stuff - Ship are Sailing Listening to this guys rendition of it on an Irish tin whistle. It's sooo beautiful: Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Maedhros Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Been listening a lot to Fleet Foxes lately. Not sure why I didn't pay any attention to them until recently, after all the positive reviews they got in 08. My favourite song from their self-titled album: Really been in an indie/alt-mood this year, after discovering great bands like Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Yeasayer, Wilco and Bat for Lashes.

Walsingham Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 A pity this style of music is dying. I agree it's pretty good, although not something I'd normally listen to. But what do you mean dying?

vault_overseer Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Burzum - Belus. Goddamn, old man still got it. Got more of if than the entire black metal scene. Proper effing legend, he is.
Oblarg Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) A pity this style of music is dying. I agree it's pretty good, although not something I'd normally listen to. But what do you mean dying? You don't often find decent prog/power metal anymore, especially 80s style, which is more raw and guitar-driven. The genre is becoming more and more driven by synths, and you rarely ever hear 80's style operatic vocals anymore. Compare: Redemption - Leviathan Rising (2009) Both are considered progressive power metal, but the trends are obvious. You just don't here music in the old style anymore, which is a pity, because it's better (at least in my opinion). Newer stuff just has too many sounds and too often substitutes superfluous time signature shifts for decent songwriting. Crescent Shield is one of the few recent bands that still plays traditional power metal.

Walsingham Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 [You don't often find decent prog/power metal anymore, especially 80s style, which is more raw and guitar-driven. The genre is becoming more and more driven by synths, and you rarely ever hear 80's style operatic vocals anymore. I'm just guessing, but the vocal thing could just be down to teaching styles. Very few people choose to learn classical style, which I assume is the basis for that operatic sound. Similarly the general dumbing down of school education may mean that kids just don't get the formal training to be really creative with their sounds. "It wasn't lies.

Orogun01 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 White Flag-Dido I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
BicycleOfDeath Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Pig's 2005 album: Pigmata. Pig is an industrial project of Ramond Watts (KMFDM) Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
Musopticon? Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Wolfmother - Joker and the thief This album is either a huge tribute to almost three decades of music or a very successfull mish-mash of rip-offs from old rock hits. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today.
