Title: Music Megathread Post by: k-onmmunist on August 07, 2010, 12:27:58 PM This is the place for discussion of music, reviews of albums/EPs/singles, top album/EP/single/whatever lists, concert discussions, current events... everything except for polls and the song you're listening to right now, for which we already have a thread :P I will write up my first review soon.
Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: k-onmmunist on August 07, 2010, 12:42:46 PM First off, it might be good if we discussed our music tastes in general.
I first got into music by listening to punk, believe it or not... old Sex Pistols, Ramones, X-Ray Spex etc. songs. From there my tastes panned outwards to include New Wave and other 80s music as well as classic and progressive rock later on when I started listening to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. I also went through a godawful phase of liking musichall. I know. Not good :P Anyway, my current tastes are largely based on my own explorations rather than being based on my parents. My favourite genres of music are jazz, early indie, industrial, folk, grunge, art rock etc. Jazz especially is one of my recent acquisitions - both my parents hate it. In fact, all my relatives are either indifferent or hate it. My stepmum is the only exception to that. But I listened to Kind of Blue by Miles Davis and have been hooked ever since. By indie, I mean the Smiths, the Stone Roses, Neutral Milk Hotel, Verve, Pulp, Oasis... all older bands. I cannot be doing with Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend etc. :P My dislikes are country, metal, pop, gangsta rap and a lot of dance music (That said, I love bands such as Orbital and Leftfield) Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Associate Justice PiT on August 07, 2010, 06:23:20 PM I used to be completely ignorant about music. I listened to virtually nothing that wasn't in a video game & could not begin to describe the differences between Abba & Black Sabbath. I really started getting into music when I was 16.
I was turned onto rock & folk by my mother, who was a big fan of the Rolling Stones & Bob Dylan back in the day. I learned about jazz from playing in my school's band class, which was instructed by a free jazz enthusiast. I began listening to country because my ex-girlfriend is a huge devotee of it. As for metal, I decided one day that I wanted to listen to something post-1975 & came across Metallica. I am also starting to get into classical now, particularly Wagner. I do not have any genuine dislikes (besides Brokencyde), though I do admit to shy away from pretension in music. With that said, I don't really care about pretension if I find the music to be enjoyable enough. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Countess Anya of the North Parish on August 07, 2010, 08:26:52 PM Well I love love love country. I listen to it so much the when me and my mom go to a resturaunt and I order they ask am I visiting from the south. :P I love old fashioned songs like "end of the world" by Skeeter Davis or "Rose Garden" by Lynne Anderson the everly brothers etc. Then there is the newer country. Chris young, "game on", " Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" and "Ladies love country boys"trace Atkins,"If you are going through hell" and "watching you and farmer daughter" Rodney Adkins. Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood etc. Most of the greatest country songs are so morally bad. I of course can go on and on with country but I shall halt.
Then we hit Mo Town. The Shirelles, the Crystals and the four tops. "Will you love me tomorrow", "Then he kissed me", and Lesley Gore. She is something. "It's my party" and the follow up song, "Its Judy's turn to cry" and a song with a tad of a movement going on, "You don't own me". And don't forget "Be my baby" by the Ronettes. And I adore Edith Piaf. I like "Milord" and "Non, je Ne Regrette Rien" There is also Charles Aznavour. I actually acquired him through my mom. "La Boheme" and "Emmenez-Moi" are my favorite. Then there is anything in between. I really love any kind of song as long as it is not a) boring and it over 5 min generally. If it is over 5min I have to be doing something. B) it can not, CAN NOT be metal.

My musical tastes consist of punk, indie and hardcore (and emo but that's kind of redundant since all emo falls into at least one of the three preceding categories.) Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Storebought on August 08, 2010, 02:01:47 AM When I was younger, if it wasn't classical then it wasn't music.
Now I don't listen to much music at all. I've heard all that I've liked and I just prefer the silence. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: k-onmmunist on August 08, 2010, 06:08:20 AM Stuff I've Discovered - 1:
I've been getting back into my grunge stuff lately and I've come to the conclusion that Nirvana are, while still being a great band, probably the worst of the grunge four (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden). Listening to Facelift by Alice in Chains and Superunknown by Soundgarden made me realise they're underrated compared to the other two. I think it may be due to the more metal based sound of both bands, especially AiC. At the same time, I've been looking at some of the stuff by lesser known grunge bands. I downloaded Temple of the Dog's self-titled album and it was a pretty well made record - sort of like a less angsty Pearl Jam. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: opebo on August 08, 2010, 11:49:21 AM And I adore Edith Piaf. I like "Milord" and "Non, je Ne Regrette Rien" There is also Charles Aznavour. I actually acquired him through my mom. "La Boheme" and "Emmenez-Moi" are my favorite. You have interesting taste. Have you ever listened to Charles Trenet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXNIrFStLa8)? As for myself I was first a fan of New Wave in my youth, then punk, then 'alternative', nowadays I also love disco and the stranger old hippy music.. and obviously those of you who visit the 'what are you listening to at the moment' thread know I love to explore non-Anglo-Saxon pop, rock, and jazz.. (to be honest I'm not sure I have the names of genres just right) Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Citizen (The) Doctor on August 08, 2010, 01:39:38 PM Completely ignorant of music at one point in my life. Not any longer.:D
I actually got into rock when I watched Wrestling; it introduced me to rock songs I wouldn't normally have heard on lite rock radio.:P Anyways, I was then exposed to post-grunge bands and the sort; not exactly great artists, but still good nonetheless. Then, I was exposed to Lostprophets and via that, alternative rock. Around this time, I also bought Rock Band and was amazed at the great songs on it that I hadn't even heard of. Moving on with my newfound liking of alternative rock, I moved through several bands, Fuel, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Rise Against, the Offspring, and the list goes on and on. Soon afterwards, I started to re-listen to the Beatles (from my younger years, I was aware of them but didn't really get into them later), and I loved their songs and delved a bit into classic rock. Then, through a friend's recommendation, I listened to The Killers, Radiohead, then Muse, fascinated by the strange type of songs they put out. Soon after, I heard "Happiness is a Warm Gun". I loved the proto-prog structure it had and went with that, listening to Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, and Porcupine Tree (which became an instant favourite of mine). Now, I write songs and am trying to form a band with my friend. I play rhythm guitar and in charge of lyrics. I'm more prog/alternative-leaning, while the other is more thrash/metal-leaning. Oh, and when I discovered LPs, I was stoked and couldn't get enough.:D Current tastes include Alternative, Prog, Classic, Punk, Jazz (smooth and normal), some Pop, some Hip-Hop (this is pretty much Gorillaz and De La Soul territory). Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: k-onmmunist on August 08, 2010, 01:46:35 PM Then there is anything in between. I really love any kind of song as long as it is not a) boring and it over 5 min generally. If it is over 5min I have to be doing something. B) it can not, CAN NOT be metal. A - I have a 47 minute long song on my iTunes :P B - Define metal :) Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Citizen (The) Doctor on August 08, 2010, 01:53:34 PM Stuff I've Discovered - 1: I've been getting back into my grunge stuff lately and I've come to the conclusion that Nirvana are, while still being a great band, probably the worst of the grunge four (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden).

Honestly, if Kurt had lived and if they continued going the direction they were going, they would be regarded a lot more highly by the elitists. And honestly, most of the time the only reason elitists hate is because the band is mainstream.:P And I still prefer Nirvana to the other three. About a Girl FTW. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: k-onmmunist on August 08, 2010, 01:59:02 PM Stuff I've Discovered - 1: I've been getting back into my grunge stuff lately and I've come to the conclusion that Nirvana are, while still being a great band, probably the worst of the grunge four (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden).

Well, if you look at where the other grunge bands have gone, I guess it becomes more clear where they would have headed. Pearl Jam these days are far more general alternative rock, and I'd say their last grunge album was Vitalogy. Soundgarden are far more metal than they used to be too. Alice in Chains I haven't really heard much of the stuff done recently in their new incarnation, but I doubt they'll ever quite match up to Layne Staley's AiC just because it was pure genius and grunge music at its rawest. Nirvana certainly weren't mainstream, mind you. No band which did songs like tourette's and Territorial Pissings could be considered mainstream :P Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Citizen (The) Doctor on August 08, 2010, 02:05:11 PM Stuff I've Discovered - 1: I've been getting back into my grunge stuff lately and I've come to the conclusion that Nirvana are, while still being a great band, probably the worst of the grunge four (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden).

At the time though, that was the in-thing to listen to. I'm sad that we can't live through that kind of era now. Plus I've never really considered Soundgarden grunge. I always tough that were called Grunge just because they were associated with the Seattle Scene. They're pretty much just metal. Plus, grunge as a genre doesn't really exist, does it? It's more of a fashion/way of performance. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Countess Anya of the North Parish on August 08, 2010, 02:25:34 PM Then there is anything in between.

Over time, I was then able to get into their heavier songs, as well as heavier bands. It also helps if you've heard heavier stuff already. I heard Master of Puppets and Dream Theatre before I listened to No Leaf Clover, so it wasn't such a big deal. Opeth though....hard to get past the Death Metal voice. No it would be great since I just got my dog therapy license. so a lot of business and they all probably know a lot of opera. :) plus old people are easier to hang with then young. True. Well I wish you the best with your business.

I've been a NIN fan for quite a while, but I only bought the Ghosts I-IV album today. I'd never really heard much dark ambient music before, but it's actually very good - as Robert Christgau put it, 'mental wallpaper'. Like a soundtrack to a movie or a template for a typical Nine Inch Nails album. Apparently Reznor is planning as second Ghosts album so that shall be fun. :) Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: CubOB on August 11, 2010, 04:46:05 PM I knew the music megathread would descend into talk about nothing but metal and similar stuff! :)
Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: dead0man on August 12, 2010, 04:54:48 AM (some random thoughts on the previously talked about grunge and such)
It's probably been 10....15 years since I've heard Temple of the Dog....good stuff. A little....."down" for my tastes, but getting the best parts of Soundgarden (except Thayil) and the best parts of Pearl Jam and putting them together to make a "grunge" album with a soul was a great idea. Soundgarden isn't really grunge. They are much more of a metal band. Same thing with Pearl Jam....not so much metal mind you...more like a heavy "alternative" sound (whatever that means) like Mecha suggested. Grunge was just a name for Seattle punk....at least that's how I came to read it. Sure, Nirvana and Black Flag don't have a lot in common, but probably more in common than Nirvana and REM. Or Black Flag and Metalica. Punk (or in this case grunge) as a popular genre can never last because part of it's "charm" is that it goes against the mainstream by default. Exactly like hippies...which is maybe why punks and hippies hate each other....by default. Metal is like highschool wrestling, boring and a little gay even though they try really hard to not be either of those. 99% of country music is as bad as 99% of "pop" music. Also both are boring and a little gay. And no, I don't think all music I don't like is boring and/or a little gay. I'm not a fan of Jazz, but I don't find it boring or gay. Same is true of classic country, R&B, opera and about 50% of hiphop. Most prog rock and folk music is though. And I actually like a little metal, prog and folk. Metal was all I listened to in highschool. Well, some classic rock as well. Boston and Gwar (probably banned in Boston) were both huge influences on me. Aerosmith was my favorite band. I was in my 20s when I found punk and quit the metal. I still listen to the heavy stuff from time to time, but it's all about the punk now-a-days. It's still fast...still hard...just a lot less big stupid hair and big stupid guitars and singing like Cookie Monster a lot more comedy, politics and generally more light hearted. Oh and and a few girls go to the concerts. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: exopolitician on August 12, 2010, 06:14:53 AM Only prog metal band I really like is Mastodon.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Associate Justice PiT on August 13, 2010, 04:33:33 AM That reminds me; I found S&M to be quite a dreadful album.

The music itself is pretty boring, but the way those guys have with words really appeals to me. If they were poets, I would still be a big fan of theirs. :) I do not have much experience with non-American folk, though I do have the album Santiago by the Irish folk band Chieftains, which is largely their take on Galician folk music, due to the historical tie between Ireland & Galicia. It's a pretty good album, particularly Pilgrimage To Santiago: Dum Paterfamilias / Ad Honorem, Galician Overture & Tears Of Stone. As a point of interest, those are also some of the least Latin-sounding songs on the album.

And as for Prog vs. avant-garde, there's a bit of a weird, blurred distinction between them. Where Prog has a set structure, avant-garde usually disavows that. Although I have always considered the two to be pretty much the same thing considering they have the same purpose. And don't go into that hell hole with the whole "Floyd isn't Prog" thing.

That is the new trend it seems. If you're in a pop punk band, you wear a grindcore band's shirt. If you're in a metalcore band, you wear a Smiths or some 90s indie rock band's shirt.

I would say that there are almost no bands that have aged over the years that have kept up to a high level of artistic quality (though the Foo Fighters, being 15 years old came out with a pretty damn good album in 07). A lot of bands seemed to make comebacks around the late 00s though. Nevertheless, of bands that stayed and aged (however they've broken up) and reached their artistic high point is probably the Beatles (mainly because they quit at their peak). While other bands start artistic and turn to pop, the Beatles are the archetypal opposite of that (pop to, from what I could gather on Abbey Road and the White Album, a more complex, heavier, prog-like sound) Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Associate Justice PiT on August 31, 2010, 11:01:49 PM Metallica doesn't seem to be a serious band anymore.

And yeah sure, groups that age tend to lose their artistic spirit as we've seen before, groups that age tend to turn more and more to pop. Yeah, most bands age poorly. I'm trying to think of older bands that have released an album recently that really outclassed the rest of their discography. Some have had pretty good recent albums, but I don't know of any that have really matched the best of their older material. I would say that there are almost no bands that have aged over the years that have kept up to a high level of artistic quality (though the Foo Fighters, being 15 years old came out with a pretty damn good album in 07). A lot of bands seemed to make comebacks around the late 00s though. Nevertheless, of bands that stayed and aged (however they've broken up) and reached their artistic high point is probably the Beatles (mainly because they quit at their peak). While other bands start artistic and turn to pop, the Beatles are the archetypal opposite of that (pop to, from what I could gather on Abbey Road and the White Album, a more complex, heavier, prog-like sound) Yeah, it seems like rock bands usually either possess a coherent artistic vision from the start or they never possess one. Jazz groups seem to follow the opposite tack & become more experimental over time. There is strong stigma against this in metal, & you see humorous things, like Megadeth becoming more pop over the course of the 1990s & then returning to an older style in the early 2000s.

I think it's justified, certainly. Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, Anthrax, Cryptopsy, all turned into commercial oriented bands, and the music definitely suffered. On the other hand, a band like Gorguts cemented their legacy by going into a completely different direction, and rupturing eardrums by going more extreme than any death metal act before.

Well I don't think anybody ever innovated by becoming more commercially-oriented. The wider listening public prefers sounds & structures that are familiar. Doing the same old stuff as everyone else may get you more admirers, but it won't influence anyone. Metallica is much more popular than Slayer, but Slayer has probably had a far bigger impact on other metal bands.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: exopolitician on October 22, 2010, 11:22:23 PM Quote I’m happy to finally announce the re-issue of the first Nine Inch Nails record “Pretty Hate Machine,” releasing worldwide 11/22. UMe and Bicycle Music Group managed to locate the original mixes, so I went in the studio with Tom Baker and remastered it for a grealy improved sonic experience. In addition, Rob reinterpreted Gary Talpas’ original cover to make for a fresh new package. It’s been an interesting trip watching the fate of this record float from one set of hands to another (a long and depressing story) but it’s finally wound up in friendly territory, allowing us to polish it up a bit and present it to you now. We had fun revisiting this old friend, hope you enjoy. TR The 22nd. Yessssss. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: k-onmmunist on October 23, 2010, 06:18:09 AM Already got it :P Borrowed the CD from my stepmum.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Earth on October 24, 2010, 11:11:20 PM Skinny Puppy ranked best to worst: Too Dark Park Last Rights VIVIsectVI Rabies Cleanse, Fold and Manipulate The Process Bites Mythmaker Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse The Greater Wrong of the Right I don't generally take offense to people's lists because, you know, it's your own thing, but there's no way in hell Mythmaker is better than Mind, or Cleanse, Fold better than The Process. It makes my mind esssplode. (Haven't heard Back & Forth yet, or Remix Dys Temper... that's supposed to be sh-t though, so that will be enjoyable :P ) Those Brap collections are really for the most diehard of fans. Some b-sides, outtakes, live stuff, remixes, and what not. If you're really into them, I think you should check them out. The remix thing isn't too bad. Mark Walk did a great job, out of a few of the better tracks on there. Ministry ranked best to worst: Psalm 69 Land of Rape and Honey The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste Filth Pig Twitch (Haven't heard the rest yet) I think Al Jourgensen's most creative peak (that's not embarassing) is Twitch. The Land of Rape and Honey, like most of his other albums, suffer from being spotty. It's Big Black with samples, essentially, and some really good bass playing on the part of Paul Barker. Post Filth Pig is pretty much garbage, except "Animositisomina". It's his last good hurrah, and definitely noise rock, not big dumb metal like the rest of his stuff. My rank, essentially comes down to: Twitch Animositisomina Land of Rape and Honey The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste tied with Psalm 69 . . . . . . Filth Pig Dark Side of the Spoon With Sympathy Houses of the Molé Rio Grande Blood The Last Sucker Cover Up Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: k-onmmunist on October 25, 2010, 03:03:38 PM The 12 minute song on Twitch was the best part.
As for Skinny Puppy rankings, it's close between Cleanse and Process. Both are good albums which I like alot. Mind I'm largely indifferent to though, apart from Dig It which is obviously awesome. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: k-onmmunist on October 26, 2010, 03:06:21 PM Modest Mouse:

Abbey Road is by far my favorite of those three albums, possibly because it's the most even in song quality (in my estimation) & the most "earthy". Revolver has some great songs, but the majority I find too "airy". Sgt. Pepper is a bit more "earthy" in its sound than Revolver, but it comes off to me as a bit slapdash.

It is probably the best of the three later albums (barring Let it Be), and also pretty damn cohesive. The quality of each song...leading up to the finale Abbey Road Medley is simply great. I'm kind of sad the Beatles became so disjointed, because as seen by their later work (especially Happiness is a Warm Gun and the Abbey Road Medley), they started to dabble into what would become Prog rock - and a Beatles driven prog album would've kicked ass.:D If you buy Queen and you have a turntable, get it on vinyl, preferably coloured vinyl.

Most expensive ticket I ever bought, but well worth it. I'm even leaving work early for this! This is probably the first show with 40something musicians I'm going to.

Bleh. It feels grossly incomplete, but take a look anyway. It's really alt rock and industrial based at the moment, but hopefully I can work on getting some more prog rock and metal and stuff like that in there. I dunno. Feel free to make recs.

They're not any more distorted than the next band & generally lack heaviness. They do sound somewhat like a sped-up Black Sabbath, I suppose. The categorization has definite problems, though, like listing Necrophiliac as death metal.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, preeeet-aaaay good. 50 The Strokes - No thanks. 51 Vampire Weekend - Flash in the pan. 52 David Guetta - DAMN GIRL 53 The Prodigy - Awesome, obviously. 54 Weezer - I dislike them. 55 Mode - ? 56 Sufjan Stevens - Superb. 57 The Offspring - Lame. 58 Crystal Castles - *shrug* 59 [unknown] - ... 60 Rammstein - Seriously? 61 Iron Maiden - No, seriously? 62 Phoenix - Okay. Not anything special, but enjoyable in an inoffensive kinda way. 63 Pearl Jam - Ah... no. 64 The Smashing Pumpkins - Christ. 65 Kid Cudi - Okay-ish, occasionally fantastic. 66 Franz Ferdinand - Gone. 67 Yeah Yeah Yeahs - No no no. 68 Johnny Cash - Had a terrible mid-career lag, but put out some good stuff. 69 Bloc Party - Very good. Very good. 70 The National - See above. 71 Snow Patrol - They make Coldplay's bland commercialism seem interesting. 72 Madonna - I don't much care what Madonna does these days. Or ever. 73 Jay-Z - How on earth is Jay-Z so low on this list? 74 Beck - Never really jumped on the Beck bandwagon. 75 Regina Spektor - *shrug* 76 Nine Inch Nails - I don't like. 77 Slipknot - Heh. 78 Interpol - Not helpful. 79 Belle and Sebastian - Leave me feeling cold. 80 Pendulum - Not a fan. 81 Modest Mouse - Uuuuugh. 82 Moby - Not a problem. 83 John Lennon - Good. 84 R.E.M. - Went from great to tragically awful very, very quickly. 85 Shakira - I'm not a child or a gay man. 86 Rage Against the Machine - Nor a skateboarding teenager with long hair and a Che Guvera t-shirt. 87 Incubus - I'll pass. 88 Beyoncé - Relevant, at least. I don't bother, though. 89 Queens of the Stone Age - Sure. 90 Mumford & Sons - I'm not a fan of English folk. Never have been. 91 Sigur Rós - Embarassing. 92 The Black Keys - Not interesting, not interested. 93 Glee Cast - That's just swell. 94 Nickelback - *weeps* 95 The Kooks - Bad. 96 Rise Against - Bad. 97 Maroon 5 - Very, very bad, I remember. 98 Pixies - Overrated to an absurd degree. Not bad, mind you. 99 Fall Out Boy - Terrible. 100 Britney Spears - Who cares any more? Do you? I don't. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: FEMA Camp Administrator on December 14, 2010, 09:07:48 PM Just got three Rush albums from my uncle, 2112 included. I'm listening to 2112 right now. :)

Yeah, I've kinda faded in that regard. I pray you're being sarcastic. No I am not. Her songs are catchy. If you don't think that. So be it. But she manages to stay in the top ranks. And I do like her style. It takes some serious creativity to dress like that. Not saying I would. If I did I bet I would be dumped but none the less she has gotton far with good reason. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Citizen (The) Doctor on December 21, 2010, 01:47:35 AM I thought they were alright, but what kind of name is "I Am the Branch"? Damn hipsters.

Still not as good as Porcupine Tree though.:P Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: FEMA Camp Administrator on December 23, 2010, 10:49:14 AM Listening to "Last Dance with Mary Jane" by Tom Petty (and the Heartbreakers?).

I would go with In Absentia, Fear of a Blank Planet or The Incident. Giving what Porcupine Tree album to start with is all dependent on the listener's tastes - if it's metal, you start with the later work, if it's alternative rock or psychedelic, you start with the earlier.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: FEMA Camp Administrator on December 25, 2010, 10:32:27 PM Self-indulgent pretentious classic rock vs. fast-paced in-you-face punk rock? First one. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Associate Justice PiT on December 25, 2010, 11:20:49 PM Self-indulgent pretentious classic rock vs. fast-paced in-you-face punk rock? I generally prefer the former since I regard greater technicality as a positive attribute for music. My issue is that the term "classic rock" is very vague & obfuscates what exactly you mean, though qualifying it with pretentious immediately makes me think of concept albums & progressive rock. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: they don't love you like i love you on December 25, 2010, 11:24:24 PM Self-indulgent pretentious classic rock vs. fast-paced in-you-face punk rock? Latter by far.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: rejectamenta on December 26, 2010, 01:38:57 AM I'd also take the latter 90% of the time, but I do like me some haughty old rock. Actually, I just listened to ELP's Tarkus, which has to be one of the most masturbatory albums of all time. I don't mean instrumentally, either, just the entire concept of it. "This armadillo tank is a metaphor for war, suffering and control or somethin' like that. Shut up, have some keyboards a-bloopdeep a-doopdoop. This sure is progressive stuff, dude!!"
That sounds like an insult, but it really is endearing to hear just how proud they are to reside in progressive rock stereotype, and musically it's solid as any. Not one of my favorites or anything, but a good listen. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: minionofmidas on December 26, 2010, 10:22:01 AM Lol.

I've downloaded nearly an album's worth of Blue Oyster CUlt stuff, along with Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. The rest of the stuff is pretty much already mine. I can't seem to find a good version of "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath. The live one I found sucked, and I don't want a version with Dio.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on February 08, 2011, 07:40:07 AM I'm really liking the new Decemberists record. I couldn't stand The Hazards of Love (Jethro Tull already did Thick as a Brick, and I didn't like it then either), so I'm glad that this one was less "clever". It's got some pretty good songs (Calamity Song, Rox in the Box, and Down by the Water are probably my favorites) but two of the songs are some of the worst things the Decemberists have done (Rise to Me and All Arise!). I'd probably give it about a 7/10. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Eraserhead on February 09, 2011, 02:14:43 AM Did anyone hear that three of the headliners for Lollapalooza leaked?

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: exopolitician on February 09, 2011, 02:49:01 PM Eminem? Meh... Lollapalooza hasn't really sounded appealing lately anyways.
Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Eraserhead on February 09, 2011, 03:33:10 PM I may head down to Bonnaroo if they can come up with a solid lineup. It was really bad last year though, so I'm not hopeful.
Coachella's lineup is decent this year but I already saw Arcade Fire pretty recently and they were the best part of it. Plus it sold out already. Sasquatch! has a pretty cool lineup but I don't think I'm gonna be going all the way to Washington State. I really wish All Points West was still around.

Did anyone hear that three of the headliners for Lollapalooza leaked? Eminem, Muse and The Foo Fighters. Wow, that might be the worst group of headliners for a major festival ever. I'd actually say that's a pretty solid lineup for alt-rock, barring Eminem. I don't like either of those bands, personally.

* Faithless * Phoenix * Sasha * Nas & Damian Marley * Cee Lo Green * Kelis * Ludacris * Erykah Badu * Friendly Fires * Miike Snow * Fake Blood * Rusko * Sydney Samson * Janelle Monae * Mike Posner * Yolanda Be Cool * Bag Raiders * Koolism * Kill The Noise * Tim & Jean * Fenech-Soler Although I think Cee Lo Green pulled out.

LOL, apparently after their acceptance speech they went back to their instruments and played an impromptu encore. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Eraserhead on February 14, 2011, 05:07:32 AM I don't get how they won "album of year" and lost ''alternative album of the year" at the same time. Amusingly they lost that one to The Black Keys, who are basically a straight up blues-rock band.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: minionofmidas on February 21, 2011, 09:27:33 AM Fell in love with these song lyrics. (Song is not that great... suppose it's good by Electropunk standards.) "Bilder mit Katze" by Frittenbude.
Felt the need to try my hands at translating. It was a warm night You remember it Like it was yesterday You were a little high And had been drinking before Vodka with your friends You roamed through the night Snuck in at nine You were the biggest fans of Torsun and the boys Stood in the front row, knew really all the songs And the opening band was good too But what you liked even more Was that one girl She was special, she had style You talked to her, you said "Hey Cat I've never seen you before" "Hey Tomcat I'm here on account of Bratze" She thought the lyrics were great and the two guys were funny You wanted to buy her a drink but only had a fifty That was supposed to last you through the next twenty days You got her a drink But she said "Shame. I'd so love to have that shirt that Lars is selling over there The black and yellow one, the pretty Audiolith shirt" But she said she was broke Had spent her last money To buy a ticket for today You bought it for her you were her hero Later you danced together til she went home And you stayed behind with the guys, hanging out on the couch [twice] You buy the woman you love A shirt by Audiolith Which she wears all the time Because there's nothing out there Like that shirt by Audiolith With the pretty large letters Right the next morning You were very nervous You called her and almost put the phone right down Because her father was on the line But he was very friendly Then you two talked for a long time And noticed there's a lot of stuff That you have in common You soon met for a date You were a couple straight away And both open for everything You went to every party and to a lot of shows Protests, festivals, life was totally great As long as it's Audiolith, you took in everything And she always wore that shirt, she looked so great in it You rode by train a lot There was always a lot of stuff happening Once you met Frittenbude on the local train They invited you, took you to their gig You danced through the night, didn't go home at all So it went for a few years You loved each other a lot And were injured all the more when suddenly nothing was right anymore And even the favorite shirt Was suddenly gone There were a lot of tears Your love was like two swans or at least something like that Cause you were so badly hurt You didn't want to see her at all anymore You stayed behind And she had to go [female voice, spoken] "Hi Tomcat it's me Yeah well, you never answer the phone I was just going to tell you I'm going to move to Berlin, going to fashion school Already found a flat at the Conti Maybe we'll hear from each other, bye" [twice] The shirt by Audiolith Was like the woman you loved Suddenly gone and you Alone at home all that remained For you were all those Audiolith songs And pictures with Cat Years passed You got ever older Girls came, stayed, left, flowers wilted You saved some money, bought a new couch Took the old one apart and what did you find In its deepest recess You didn't believe it There's this shirt That one shirt by Audiolith You think back to the times of your youth Those days were great, just the two of you and the music You turn on the pc You enter her name Found her right away in some social network how can it be Is that really her? No? You're suddenly very confused You take a picture of the shirt not of you And send it to her Audiolith is a Hamburg-based indie label. All the bands namedropped (including themselves) are on that label, and Lars is the guy who runs it. There's a logical flaw though - sounds like quite a few years have passed since, and they were still in their teens when they were together. Her giving him a landline phone number would also date their getting together back into the nineties - when neither Audiolith nor any of the bands namedropped existed yet. Ahem. But maybe that's intentional.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Eraserhead on March 19, 2011, 05:59:43 AM I got back from a Crystal Castles show at Terminal 5 a few hours ago. Pretty interesting. I may write a short reaction later.
I wonder if FallenMorgan has ever actually gone to one? Probably not, I guess. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Eraserhead on March 19, 2011, 08:08:42 PM So basically Crystal Castles were a lot of fun live although I did have a few problems with the show overall. Firstly, the two opening acts SUCKED. They just seemed like pretty generic DJs. Maybe if I was high or drunk I could have got some enjoyment out of their sets but I was 100% sober at this show. I really wish I showed up at the venue a lot later than I did. This is also true because CC took forever to come out on stage. There was literally almost an hour between the last opener and their set.
So then they finally come out and Alice Glass is on crutches because she recently broke her ankle and was apparently told by a doctor not to even play these shows. Yet she still managed to hop around the stage like a maniac and actually crowd surfed at a few points during the show. I gotta give her some points for that. I also thought it was really cool how Ethan Kath played guitar, keyboards and sang during parts of the show in addition to the electronic mumbo jumbo... made it feel more like a real band. The drummer was good too. I did think it was kind of odd how they ran through most of their well known songs in like the first 20 minutes of the show. Most of the stuff sounded really good but their second encore, which was a reworked version of the originally awesome "Untrust Us", didn't really work for me. It would have been nice if they played a little longer too... their set was only about 70 minutes (not much longer than the gap between them and the second opener). Overall, still a good show.

I think the longest I've ever seen was this post-rock band that might've approached 90 minutes. I remember reading about this hardcore band that played for three hours at their last show and apparently set up some sort of record.

I think the longest I've ever seen was this post-rock band that might've approached 90 minutes. I remember reading about this hardcore band that played for three hours at their last show and apparently set up some sort of record. Paul McCartney plays shows that are nearly 3 hours long all the time and he's 68 years old. Bruce Springsteen does 3 hours in his sleep. Hell, my own band has played a couple of shows that were that long. This isn't a big deal for bands that don't spend the entire set screaming their lungs out and trying to injure themselves. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: they don't love you like i love you on March 21, 2011, 10:49:52 PM The band in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRMYptP079E
I don't see how they are trying to injure themselves. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: exopolitician on March 22, 2011, 10:17:08 AM The Reading/Leeds Festival lineup has been leaked:

But Buffalo Tom rocked. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: FEMA Camp Administrator on April 14, 2011, 06:00:22 PM two of my friends are in a band called "Theory of the Fallen". While I wasn't able to see them, they performed last night. While it was the type of music that BRTD's been trying to make me listen to, once I find a youtube video (apparently there are recordings of it made, amateurly), I'll provide a link. The reason they did screamo lyrics was because they had three weeks notice before performing and had only had their singer for a week and a half. Not knowing what to do, they said "F_ck it, let's do screamo". I'll see if there's a video up or anything.
EDIT: It seems there may be another band of the same name and I'll have to check with my two friends about the name and such. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: they don't love you like i love you on April 14, 2011, 09:32:45 PM I'd be surprised if this band is real screamo, the stuff I listen to. There is a lot more to screamo than simply "loud music with lots of screaming".
Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Eraserhead on April 14, 2011, 10:52:40 PM That's such a generic band name... ugh.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Associate Justice PiT on May 08, 2011, 12:01:16 AM Finally got around to giving Death Magnetic a fair chance. Not bad actually, though James Hetfield's vocals just aren't what they used to be. I could also do without the ballads, though I think Kill 'Em All was the only Metallica album to genuinely not have any.
Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Leftbehind on May 08, 2011, 12:44:00 AM Yeah I prefer The Bends to OK Computer, as well (although I love both).

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Associate Justice PiT on September 06, 2011, 02:28:15 PM Mastodon's new album The Hunter is coming out, and hey say it's going to be stripped down and heavier! Anyone else excited for Brent Hinds nd Troy Sanders great vocals? Yeah! :) I heard a preview of one of the songs. It sounded kind of like Blood Mountain, but sludgier. I liked Crack The Skye, but I thought it was kind of light. As such, I am pretty excited about this new album. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Mr. Taft Republican on September 08, 2011, 03:44:55 PM I think it was more Leviathanesque, but I'm no expert, either way it's gonna be awesome. Crack the Skye was meh, but Divinations was alright, the redeeming quality to Oblivion was Divinations.
Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Associate Justice PiT on September 09, 2011, 04:30:14 PM Yeah, you're probably right about it sounding like Leviathan. Blood Mountain has higher-pitched melodies in general.
From Crack The Skye, I liked The Czar, though it was rather repetitive for an 11-minute song. The Last Baron was good, but really needed to be heavier. The whole album sounded like they were trying to do Dark Side Of The Moon, which really isn't their style.

A shame 90% of the campus knows nothing about him! Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Хahar 🤔 on December 31, 2012, 10:03:46 PM I've been listening to The Execution of All Things by Rilo Kiley.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Oldiesfreak1854 on May 09, 2013, 05:14:37 PM I don't really feel like creating another thread for this, so I'll just ask it here. Do any of you think there's a good reason to buy or listen to vinyl records? I know a lot of people think they sound better, but I've tried to compare it to digital, and I can't do it. So if it doesn't sound better, then is there really any point in spending more money on that than you could for a digital download?

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Franknburger on June 21, 2013, 07:15:15 PM I don't really feel like creating another thread for this, so I'll just ask it here. Do any of you think there's a good reason to buy or listen to vinyl records? I know a lot of people think they sound better, but I've tried to compare it to digital, and I can't do it. So if it doesn't sound better, then is there really any point in spending more money on that than you could for a digital download? Let me put it like this - in theory, there should not be any difference. In practice, I have found my old vinyl records to sound warmer and also a bit more 'direct' than CDs, which may have to do with some inevitable information loss during digitising. If you compress the full digital signal into mp3 for download, you have further information loss. Now, the first question is - do you realise and mind that information loss at all. There is probably no point in buying vinyl to play it on a cheap record player over cheap loudspeakers that aren't able to capture and transmit that subtle extra of information. You either do a full upgrading, or you just stick to downloads and a mp3 player, anything in-between does hardly make sense. Secondly - the information loss comes with any digitising in the process. This means, there is also not much point in buying a digitally mastered song on vinyl. So, if you are mostly listening to music that has been recorded from the 1990s onwards, you may remain digital. Thirdly, vinyl is not vinyl. My father used to work for PolyGram. He was a member of the research team that developed stereo, and also participated in the initial development of the Compact Disc, before moving into quality managing of their main record factory in Hannover. According to him, in the 1970s / 80s there was a sizable number of Americans who wanted to buy original Hannover record pressings (sizeable enough to include regular shipment to the USA in their production planning system), even though PolyGram ("Deutsche Grammophon") operated record factories in the USA. He said they never managed to get the US plants up to the German standard. Of course, my 1970s / 1980s vinyl collection is to a good part consisting of records that were pressed in Hannover (got them free of charge, and could always impress the other guys at school with having the hot stuff first). They sound better than CDs. If US pressings do as well - I don't know ...

Tocotronic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDy1VCB8c0I) - some bands never get mainstream Selig (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERtoH91VQVY) - and more "Hamburger Schule". Solid performance.

Though their show was still a bit better, for special reasons () The lead singer left the stage completely drunk in the middle of the show, and the guitarist started this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkodRo5gTQk "When reality surpasses you, you have no friends, not even alcohol" The singer returned, and they finished the show with an incredible tension on stage.

Because it sounds pretty similar to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KY2xmxzIpc (scroll down a bit to see the first comment) Here is a bit of background how the scene on the other side of the Oresund (http://www.bpp.org.uk/marcelschilf.html) was organised at the time the Dominus song was recorded. [And, no, there is no indication that any Dominus or Volbeat member was ever an active part of the scene, but the musical relation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_black_metal) is quite obvious] Want an idea how it sounds in German?

Sadly I am all too aware of these bands, but Dominus was a bog standard death metal act in no way related to national socialist black metal. That is entirely separate movement within metal, much in the same way that RAC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Against_Communism) and other white power punk styles are unrelated to and scorned by the majority of punk/hardcore groups. In fact, most of the bands on that list are RAC groups that have nothing to do with metal. I understand your concern, but rest assured this nationalist white power nonsense is rejected by a huge majority of metalheads.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Franknburger on September 26, 2013, 07:09:36 PM Tonight was the 9th Bundesvision Song Contest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesvision_Song_Contest). Usually a good opportunity to spot fresh bands and trends, this year's contest was quite a disappointment - a mix of traditional rock ballads, Neue Deutsche Welle revival, and German HipHop.
Winner was Bosse for Lower Saxony. "So oder so (http://tvtotal.prosieben.de/tvtotal/videos/player/index.html?contentId=144399&initialTab=related)" is a nice song with good text. In the absence of anything spectacular, solid craftsmanship did the job. Second-placed Johannes Oerding (Hamburg) represented the rock ballad faction with "Nichts geht mehr (http://www.frequency.com/video/johannes-oerding-nichts-geht-mehr/121484078/-/5-14570l)" Favourite YouTube HipHop hero MCFitti from Berlin only came in third with "Fitti mit'm Bart (http://tvtotal.prosieben.de/tvtotal/videos/player/index.html?contentId=144382&initialTab=related)" Place four went to Keule from Brandenburg with their NDW retro song "Ja Genau (http://tvtotal.prosieben.de/tvtotal/videos/player/index.html?contentId=144376&initialTab=related)". ("taxes down, jobs up, nobody intends to build a wall - yes, of course..." plus a gay marriage kiss in the end ) Interestingly, East German entries tended to have political texts: MeckPomm- "I turn terrorist", Saxony -"I don't need / can't get a flat (the city is my home)", while songs from the West were all about dance & fun or disappointed love. Musically most interesting was Adolar (Saxony-Anhalt) with their Russian Folk- Heavy Metal crossover "Hallelujah (http://tvtotal.prosieben.de/tvtotal/videos/player/index.html?contentId=144374&initialTab=related)".

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: traininthedistance on August 18, 2014, 02:27:02 PM Spoon's newest They Want My Soul is... pretty good. A little disappointing given the heights I know they're capable of (Gimme Fiction and Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga are both firmly in my top 10 albums all-time), but it's good to have them back, and it's better than 2010's Transference at least. Honestly, I think the problem is that in some ways it's a little too slick and polished and overproduced, which is the exact opposite of Transference, which felt like an album of incomplete demos. Pendulum, swinging, etc.
Hopefully they hit that happy medium again next time. For my taste, the opener "Rent I Pay" and the menacing "Knock Knock Knock" are the best cuts. Not a fan of "Outlier" at all; they don't even sound like Spoon on that track to me, too much distracting electronic backing there for my taste.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Хahar 🤔 on March 18, 2015, 01:29:45 AM I feel like this forum isn't the right place to find a lot of Purity Ring fans, but they released their second album this month.

If before they were a less poppy version of The Knife, now they're Chvrches with hip-hop beats. I'm fine either way.

Definitely one of the best shows I've been to, top five easily. They played a nice combination of their two albums, though the highlights were Lofticries, Belispeak, Body Ache, and Sea Castle. Apparently it was the biggest show of their tour. The only downside was they refused to play an Encore, but the set itself was pretty solid. I'd recommend seeing them live if you get a chance.

So do that.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: FairBol on August 09, 2016, 01:05:24 PM Just a quick introduction to my music tastes.
I would say that my favorite genres of music are rock and pop, with an emphasis on 80s and 90s stuff. I'm very eclectic, as I also enjoy classic rap/r&b, classic rock (primarily from the 70s), country, and jazz. About the only type of music I dislike is classical....can't get into Bach and Beethoven, LOL. I also enjoy analyzing and discussing lyrics; I find that the legends of rock/pop have explored some great ideas. My favorite lyric is this one from the Rolling Stones: "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find you get what you need" :) Also, I wish to note that I am a DJ for my own internet radio station, which is called "Radio Free Connecticut". I don't have a real schedule at this time; I'm just on whenever I feel like it, LOL. If you want to check the station out, go to my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Radio-Free-Connecticut-680518518760296/ (https://www.facebook.com/Radio-Free-Connecticut-680518518760296/). Keep rockin', people! :) Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: FairBol on August 09, 2016, 01:06:33 PM Playing some 90s stuff at the moment....specifically, "She Drives Me Crazy" by the Fine Young Cannibals. :)
Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: FairBol on August 09, 2016, 01:09:03 PM What does everyone think of the current music scene? Personally, and to quote Bob Seger, I think it "ain't got the same soul". However, I have been known to enjoy listening to a few recent songs, such as Shawn Mendes' "Stitches". That's pretty much all I'll admit to, LOL. ;)

Does that make me a total nerd, or what?

Out of all of them, this - Haru Haru by Big Bang (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzCbEdtNbJ0) - is definitely the most powerful, with such an emotional music video, even after a near-decade.
Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: vanguard96 on August 10, 2017, 12:40:50 PM Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill is stuck in my head right now. :) I listened to Genesis' debut album for the first time just recently. I am not a huge Gabriel fan, BTW. It's serviceable as a light psychedelic album in a sort of Procol Harum way. And there weren't any Space Oddity type stunners or The Court of the Crimson King that would really say these guys are heads and above the rest even though they have some really nice arrangements and guitar playing. I am not a prog for complexity sake type of person but of course their debut is nothing like Selling England by the Pound or Lamb Lies Down on Broadway that's for sure. The band themselves do not like it - is it the lack of passion - what is it in particular? Interesting speaking of the band - first post-Gabriel album Wind and Wuthering of course and another famous collaborator with Gabriel - Kate Bush, I've got her first album - The Kick Inside on repeat these days - I actually prefer "Moving" to "Wuthering Heights" though and really like Andrew Powell's arrangements in addition to his Alan Parsons Project work, and Gilmour/Floyd connection he had a hand in key releases for Cockney Rebel and Be Bop Deluxe, two of my favorite acts. In some ways I feel that aspects of art rock / art pop including Gabriel, Robert Fripp solo, Kate Bush and such were just as progressive in the true sense of the word than prog rock especially in the days of punk, reggae, & disco when the long album length tracks and mystical space / castle rock of early and mid-70's had fallen out of favor. I am trying to give Gabriel a re-evaluation. I am not a fan of So (overhyped hit singles) but appreciate those 2 big mid-70's Genesis albums before he left the band considerably. With that in mind I am working my way through the other Genesis Gabriel albums to eventually get to Gabriel's string of self-titled solo albums from the late 70's - around the same time that Kate Bush debuted. It was an interesting time as the prog format was moving on and aside from punk and disco so much else was going on that would shape the direction of things to come in the 80's and beyond. I can really see with Kate's debut how it must have appealed so much to many visionary artists like Gabriel, Prince, and Bowie. Are there any projects or collaborations you think I should seek out given I like those 2 prog albums and artists like Kate Bush, Eno, Bowie, King Crimson, Roxy Music, Prince, and so on?

Love all classic rock, big Pink Floyd fan. I grew to like PF from when I was in TN and they had an independent classic rock station that would play their longer album tracks as well the usual ones like the Wall Pt 2 and a few tracks from DSOTM. Yes, they played a bit more Southern rock than I liked - but they mixed it up a bit and didn't seem like the precursor of XM radio's generic channels. It sort of hurt their rep to limit such a great band to so few songs just like mainstream US classic rock radio had done to post Ziggy, pre-Let's Dance David Bowie (same 3 songs over & over again). Fleetwood Mac is reduced to about 4-5 songs, Heart to maybe 3 songs, Led Zep, Sabbath, Rush, Yes same thing. Sad. I wish I had been able to get overseas broadcasts from England, Europe, or even more independent programs I've heard about in places like NYC or Cleveland or Chicago from years' past.

I wish they could have added the non-Prince music from the movie as well but that's another release I suppose.
Did anyone else get it? Would you like to see any other Prince CDs get this kind of treatment - like Sign 'O' the Times for instance?

We spent a lot of time in that basement making out, listening to music, and watching movies.

Greta Van Fleet New band from Michigan (although they started in 2012, its first material got published last year) which could signal the revival of classic rock. They sound great and epic. The singer is just 21 and reminds me of Robert Plant. Summary: Classic rock with a fresh air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhbMbiYb5bg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86_vnQc1oBE Portavoz Chilean rapper with focus on political and social issues. He is a guy from a worker's class neighborhood in Santiago and has a strong message, with some class warfare and anger but delivered in a very entertaining way. The first video is sung in Spanish and Mapudungun (language of Mapuche people, the main native group in Chile) and the second, which is one of his most popular songs and talks about the struggles of most Chileans in contrast to what the media and the elite depicts, has english subtitles. If you want to know more about Chile and its culture, I think it's a good start due to Portavoz's particular approach.

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Cokeland Saxton on January 29, 2019, 02:24:29 AM Like: Christian pop/rock, 2000s and early 2010s pop, soft rock
Dislike: Rap of any kind, especially gangsta rap, country, music with significant swearing, hard rock, scream-o, 90% of modern pop or rock released after 2014, anything with too much base (sensory reasons, as I'm autistic) Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: They put it to a vote and they just kept lying on February 12, 2019, 04:04:15 PM I know most of ya'll don't really share my musical tastes, but I have a podcast in which I discuss metalcore, post-hardcore, and other related music news and reviews, which can be found here (https://moshtalkpod.podbean.com/) (also on Spotify and iTunes by searching "Mosh Talk") and a Youtube channel where I do reviews and video essays on similar topics.

They sound great and epic. The singer is just 21 and reminds me of Robert Plant. Summary: Classic rock with a fresh air. They rock. I dig their song on the NHL 19 soundtrack...."When The Curtain Falls". :) Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: FairBol on February 20, 2019, 02:34:20 AM Really into Tequila by Dan + Shay.

It includes 9 new songs & new recordings of 3 legendary (widely bootlegged but never officially released) songs from the '70s, so it should be really interesting to see how those early '70s songs are gonna sound side-by-side with the new stuff. I've been waiting for a new record with the E Street Band for so long (nearly 7 years & counting now!), so it's really good to hear that classic E Street sound in the studio again (though, of course, it's just always good in general to have new Bruce, & especially so in our current climate).

I don't know about you, but I'm getting "farewell album" vibes from that video and what we've heard so far. Which makes me really, really sad. Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: brucejoel99 on September 28, 2020, 01:45:11 PM https://youtu.be/Lo5QNcFioZ4 That is an absolute bop. I don't know about you, but I'm getting "farewell album" vibes from that video and what we've heard so far. Which makes me really, really sad. Eh, I don't think he'll ever plan a last album. Hell, I think it's more likely that the man will literally die on stage before he retires. And after all, Bruce said in the recent Rolling Stone article (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/bruce-springsteen-interview-new-album-touring-e-street-band-1059109/) that he has a lot of projects in the works: Quote Could this be the last E Street Band album? "I think what he has come to realize is, it could be," says Van Zandt. "Confronting one's mortality is both truthful and realistic, and it can assist people who are in that frame of mind - who may be leaving, or who had someone pass right now that they love. And by the time this comes out, it could be 200,000 of us. It could be cathartic for those people. It could also be literal. At this point, if you have something to say, you better say it now! Don't wait too much longer! Because who knows? I don't think he meant it literally. And if it is the last album, y'know, we went out swinging. And if it's not, we're gonna have to come back, and we're gonna have to beat it!" Springsteen acknowledges that "no tomorrows are guaranteed," but that's as far as he'll go on the subject. And it's probably worth noting that the chorus of "Ghosts" finds him practically screaming, "I'm alive!" "I plan," says Springsteen, "to have a long road in front of me.... Some of my recent projects have been kind of summational, but really, for me, it's summational for this stage of my work life. I've got a lot left to do, and I plan to carry on." Basically, he's realizing (or, rather, conceding) that both he & the band are old now, but I don't think that precludes him from making music 'til the day he dies. The vibe I've been getting (both from this article & the songs thus far) isn't so much a farewell album but more of a transitional album: finally coming to terms with being old & the deaths of his friends, moving on from the last decade of his work & into his later years with the hope to enjoy as much of it as he can with his friends - the E Street Band. "Letter to You," for example, is a summation/thesis statement of what he tried to do with all of his work. It's not necessarily soul-stirring, but it's moving. Bruce speaks directly to us, which is unusual for him, given that he often hides behind characters & personas. And "Ghosts" seems to be an affirmation of life as Bruce struggles to understand his place as an aging rock-star who's seen not only his band members but his lifelong friends pass away as his very art form becomes less culturally significant. Yet he & the band assert "I am alive!" because he still has something to say, & he'll carry on because he has made promises to those that came before, & not just for himself, but for those ghosts that visit him: specifically George Theiss from his days with The Castiles, but also Clarence & Danny too. Moreover, the article describes a "third album in the can" from 2012 (allegedly the so-called "Gospel Album") & Tracks 2 consisting of lost/unreleased full-albums, & Patti has indicated that he wrote more material this past summer during the pandemic (& him actually having the inspiration for new music & songs is notable, given that he experienced a significant period of writer's block after the early-2010s writing sessions that resulted in Wrecking Ball/Western Stars/the unreleased Gospel Album), so we certainly haven't seen the last of what's to come. I think we can confidently predict that, if he's healthy, then he'll be continuing to put out new music & tour (though not 'til 2022 at the earliest re: the latter).

Over the summer I went down a Youtube rabbit hole and ended up in the Sovietwave corner of the synthwave section: Another great Sovietwave song, but this is new, from 2019, unlike the above: One of my mom's favorite Hindi/Urdu disco tracks of the early-80s that has become one of my favorites as well. Really demonstrates what a beautiful language Hindustani is: Speaking of Hindi, this is my favorite contemporary Hindi songs, from the comedy drama series Humourously Yours. This also demonstrates what a beautiful-sounding language Hindi is, and the tune is nice and relaxing: Okay last Hindi song. This is a very modern house/EDM track from Ritviz. He has a really nice full voice and while this song's lyrics are very simple, it also demonstrates how nice Hindi sounds: The lyrics go: बरसो, बरसो बादल तुम्हारी रास अब तक रहे बादल गरजा, पानी बरसा नदियाँ, मछली चली-चलीं पेड़ के ऊपर बरसा पानी आई पत्तियाँ हरी-हरी baraso, baraso baadal tumhaaree raas ab tak rahe baadal garaja, paanee barasa nadiyaan, machhalee chalee-chaleen ped ke oopar barasa paanee aaee pattiyaan haree-haree Rainy, rainy cloud Stay still Cloud thunder, rain Rivers, fish move Rain water on the tree Green leaves Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand to end on a trashy note, 90s Eurodance is my guilty pleasure. I am single-handedly trying to bring back one of the top hits of 1994. I love the awful fashion of that period and the drunk sweaty guy dancing in the cage in the background with the fake gun (labeled in German: "the most dangerous animal in the world"): Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: T'Chenka on January 20, 2021, 07:30:18 AM Now playing:

I honestly have no words except to say that it's amazing(!), that it's tragic that we didn't get it much sooner (i.e., in the '80s), & that finally getting to listen to a new ABBA album is a very special experience, to say the least, as somebody who was born nearly 2 decades after their initial breakup (& not to mention, a presumably once-in-a-lifetime experience, given that they've already said that they won't be putting out any more new studio albums after Voyage).

If and when a Silmarillion-inspired movie comes out that depicts the First (or Elder) Age, the producer will already have an assortment of compositions to pick from for the soundtrack. Here are just a few:

Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Oleg 🇰🇿🤝🇺🇦 on July 03, 2023, 05:22:34 AM Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: Oleg 🇰🇿🤝🇺🇦 on July 03, 2023, 05:41:22 AM Machine translate of this song from Russian language:
Quote Peace!! To your!! Home!! Peace!! To your!! Home!! Peace!! Peace!! Peace!! Peace!! Peace is an extremist word When they bombard the yards of acquaintances, The iron-feathered crows of discord woke up, Meanly in the clouds drawing "Z" patterns. We, the entire region, must say - "Shame on them!" You are marauders, thieves and no longer heroes of Zorro, Down with the glorification of murder and terror! With them - a TV that feeds quarrels in people, We have the right to exclude war from the horizon - The bloody monster will not see more food. "Go kill for peace - we love hardcore music!" But killing a neighbor will not become the norm, We are bringing the era of new ones - peace, happiness, Erase the zigzag and the swastika like an eraser! Let the tyrant not receive our participation, Where the people against the people are directed by a senile! They want to turn the concepts in the minds To dehumanize us, they say, - "there is no other way, go kill!". We disrupt two events, let three words rattle: "Peace to your home!" "Peace to your home!" - a message on my behalf, Written in elementary rhyme. Hiding behind addresses, digits and numbers Home is for everyone sincere, clean, Perhaps the most important thing in life - We return home. Our loved ones are there They want our care and protection. If you attack the house - we will be quits, But I will never go to war with a neighbor, Even if grandfather had a wild dream somewhere. My respect to anyone who protects the house I will not send my son not a dishonorable war, Better with fan I'll beer booze. Who brought our precious home to such a state, in which the word "peace" sounds like "thunder"? They called the bad good, and we believe They pressed the button and rockets flew at people, They said to die - everyone nodded, went berserk. On the screen - applause in immature approval, They'll show us where the attack was coming from And everyone will be given a term because of doubts. In a time where wishing for peace is courage Let them be afraid, because we will do it. And sometimes it seems to me that I'm in a nightmare all year. People sculpt with a serious face the justification for war. Can't believe the people are so fooled And there is no worse phrase than "Not everything is so simple." Everything is clear, brother - you can not attack! If you don't understand, you have a flaw in your soul, (Who?) Who believes in propaganda - just stupid or drunk, They want a Planet of the Apes ending. I will believe that the fog will dissipate again, People - evil with good will be diluted at the poles. Let our message break to someone, - We are returning the norm "Peace to your home!" Title: Re: Music Megathread Post by: H.E.

I was just reading about the new Sufjan Stevens album. Apparently he used a naked photo (with no nudity) of Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh from an older photoshoot in the album somehow. That photoshoot had previously gotten Singh into trouble with Mumbai police, who had charged him with obscenity. Extremely random but I thought I'd share.
