|
 | PitchforkArms This stuff is pretty nice, dude! Lots of interesting ideas flowing around
|
| PitchforkArms Dude, I was reading your peregrine review and your 2k22 list - I am familiar with your taste and can't believe I didn't send this your way significantly earlier, but you would probably dig my band's LP from last year. Sorry for the self promo!https://open.spotify.com/album/0GCQAQLYCavMb81n2wgBoT?si=lonU5hUuRGKsFoBo-2lsOg
|
 | Sowing Hello! Congrats on the promotion. Please shoutbox me an email address that I can send your contributor forum invitation to (I'll remove the shout once I send the email). Thank you!
|

|
 | Conmaniac Ayyy that's hype ash! Idk if I'll be writing much but if it inspires me I might man who knows! Lmk when it's out I'll check
|
 | Slex Lol love the Dream State sound off
|
| Conmaniac New Prince Daddy is taking over rn. And horse jumper of love!
|
| Conmaniac Oh hell ya dude I just graduated too. Missed ya man, excited to see you around
|
 | PalomaYoung Hi, I have read you review for Haruka Nakamura's album "Twilight" and I absolutely love it. I wonder if I could get the authorisation from you to translate it into Chinese and post it on a Chinese music review website? For no commercial purpose, of course.
|
 | AsleepInTheBack Glad to hear it mate! Yeah busy busy here too, but good cheers. Not finding the time for music and sput like I used to sadly, but trying to weave it back into my routine
|
| AsleepInTheBack not bumped into you much in a while, hope you're doing well man
|
 | Snake. get disowned is objectively #1, and even ****ing freshman year is better than painted shut, get with the program
|
| Slex https://drive.google.com/open?id=1nBYR_VOt765jw4ONTcpAPURoburj5s2tDeluxe edition of Shrine, enjoy friendo
|
 | Aberf you know what, I actually quoted the wrong line from your review on my list lol.
|
 | Futures thanks man! got any 2017 recs?
|
| Futures the new brand new album revived my love for music. gotta find some 2017 stuff. gonna hang around a little and write a bit. i really missed writing. cancer came back so that's pretty s***. how are you doing?
|
 | Flugmorph the world is cruel. im on the last stretch of michiko and hatchin btw. im gonna you on mal. as it looks u can't communicate for s*** on discord rip
|
| Flugmorph Your arguments on how they are a bad band are ridiculous. Some people on here including you shouldn't even have opinions especially when you guys act like assholes about it. Ironically BSC are doing excellent on tour and are gaining mad respect and recognition from famous vocalists like Corey Taylor. Get reckt bitch.
|
| Conmaniac it was rly good, didnt finish it all but Less Art is some dope s***. u should review it man
|
| Conmaniac ohhh buddy im def checkin sounds dope
|
| AsleepInTheBack mate you've got to hear Eatenbybears - Teeth. Most fun I've had with math rock in a while
|
| Flugmorph get that 2.0 for to be kind outta here boi u trippin
|
 | Trebor. I just finished my 1st draft
|
| Conmaniac damnn that sounds v tasty...gonna check after I finish this album (1 song left).
|
| Flugmorph oh boy gotta get onto that, thanks for the tip. Also heard their latest lp tho, not just that one.
|
 | onionbubs actually have a different idea for a u2 list now. since a lot of their tracklists are pretty incosistent yet they have a lot of stellar b sides itll contain tracklist remixes of like half of their records including a complete reinvention of rattle and hum including a lot of the songs that were kept off the joshua tree
|
| onionbubs its got some interesting stuff going on. naturally since brian eno was collaborating with them there was a big ambient influence on the record and it works a lot of the time. corpse and slug are especially good. elvis ate america is maybe the worst song bono ever wrote tho so
|
| onionbubs You ever listened to original soundtracks 1?
|
| onionbubs a lot of their 2000s stuff has grown off me a lot but occasionally i go through kicks of it. some songs i really like on those albums. micracle drug is one of my all time favorite u2 songs
|
| onionbubs digging a **** ton of 90s u2 lately. that 90s list might actually happen someday
|
| Conmaniac damn no I havent. will check tho man thanks!
|
 | Dylan620 Yeah man, my favorite song by them is on L
|
| Dylan620 Really good work dude. Admittedly I disagree with quite a few placements, but it IS the Weakerthans, so it's (almost) all good ;) I'll comment further when the list goes up here on Sput
|
| Flugmorph nice dude, ive send you a friend request and am now going to proceed with stalking our mutual ratings lol
|
| Flugmorph cantonese cavepaintings. lol you're actually online. do you have a mal account?
|
 | Dewinged I see, it sounds like a live take man, which is cool but I think you should try to get a "closer" feel, you know what i mean? Like having the voice and the main guitar more upfront! Just a thought!
|
| Dewinged Hey man, just jammed your album. "This Bus..." def my fav, right down my alley. Did you record your guitar and voice live and then added arrangements?
|
| Dewinged Hey Zach, have a free download code man: 4NQQJW-DEPJFCGet it at: www.cdbaby.com/redeemI am reading here you also make music? Link me to your stuff man, wanna check it out.
|
| Conmaniac haha sweet man I'll check is soon man and let ya know
|
 | BlushfulHippocrene Cheers man, I'll make sure to shame him. :P Going to give it a listen tonight, and I'll let you know what I think.
|
 | FullOfSounds Ay no problem. Gonna be revisiting it throughout the week
|
| FullOfSounds listening to your new alb right now and your singing is incredible. love the stop-start guitar parts
|
| Futures alright sweet haha. good luck.
|
| Futures i will give it a listen soon man! you should check my latest rev btw. you might dig the album
|
| Futures that clarity inspired art tho
|
 | 50iL Yeah man np! It's actually my fav user project so far tbh. The musicianship was top notch, loved the time signatures too. Kinda reminded me to Sufjan Stevens.
|
| onionbubs Native son (an early version of vertigo), levitate, always, mercy, fast cars, and ground beneath her feet are definite highlights from their early stuff. Ground beneath her feet is especially phenomenal i have no idea why it was left off of ATYCLB
|
| onionbubs Knowing you're a U2 fan, have you checked any of the b-sides and outtakes from the leave behind and how to dismantle days? Worth a jam
|
| Conmaniac hey man finally finished that EP. was really good! Gusts and This Bus is Going to Cavanwere def my favs. vocals were a biiiit shakey at times but really worked on all of these songs so it's easy to look past it and even adds to the personal nature of this EP. haven't had a chance to go through all the lyrics but they seem really well written. only thing is that sometimes songs get too wordy like you're almost trying to cram too much into one track. other than that no complaints was pleasant
|
| AsleepInTheBack ...in the mix. Same with the end of Dancing About Architecture; it felt like there was going to be something extra at the end when I heard some atmospheric stuff in the background, which may have been cool. Tracks 1 and 4 probably has the best of everything: solid structures and subtleties, and probably the best vocal performances. Good job man, gonna keep spinning this for a while I think.
|
| AsleepInTheBack Really enjoyed it man, given it a couple of spins so far. Feels really quite intimate and comforting, and the tenor and essence of the lyrics seems to shine though despite the specific meanings they hold to you being somewhat veiled (which I suspect was by design?). Tracks 1, 2, 4 and 5 where the standouts for me, especially the first and 4th I think. Would have loved it if some of the extra instrumentation you brought in now and then (track 1 being the best example) was a bit more prominent ...
|
 | neekafat Honestly bro, kudos for reaching out, and I'd love to listen!
|
| AsleepInTheBack awesome man, I look forward to it, drop me a message when its out
|
| Conmaniac isn't it?? and sweet i'll check them asap! sounds like my kind of thing thanks
|
| Conmaniac OOOH damn dude i'm so pumped now to hear it! be sure to send me a link when it drops or i'll prob see it on here in a week anyways haha. and yeah lemme know what you think of it!
|
| AsleepInTheBack twas a good album, thoroughly enjoyed it, need to pay more attention to the lyrics but could be a grower
|
| AsleepInTheBack listened to the first song of that cabs record as its streaming on their band camp, pretty solid stuff, gonna have to buy their album at some point
|
| Snake. that random friend request you got was from me
|
| Futures good choices. no pass the baby tho? blew me away so unexpected.
|
| Futures what are your favs on the new one?
|
| Futures a 4 sweeet. t/t man. like holy s***. sounds like motion picture soundtrack by radiohead.
|
| AsleepInTheBack hey man, you should check the new TotorRo record if you get a sec, lovely summer-y mathy stuff
|
| Futures oh man i think it's up your ally. you will love it.
|
| Conmaniac oh damn thanks dude been looking for something like that. will check asap
|
| Futures the closer is one of my fav songs tbh
|
| Futures nobody knows about it i gotta spread the good word haha
|
| Futures yeah it's a classic from back in the day lol. also i got a rec for you check out time spent driving- just enough bright
|
| Futures damn. or just math rock with emotion?
|
| Futures yo you got any good math rock/emo recs like ttng's s/t? every math rock band i've listened to has just been kinda lifeless and formulaic but ttng's s/t has that emotion. you get me?
|
| AsleepInTheBack yeah man it sounds like it could have been a 2016 release, its nuts.
|
| FullOfSounds Agreed. It has a mix of average and great songs.
|
| FullOfSounds Popping in to say you have a good rating on The Bends
|
| BlushfulHippocrene I have heard all of those, but have never been familiar enough to rate them, so going to listen to Clarity right away and see how it goes. I love TTNG's debut, too, so I'll rate that as well. Thanks a lot! And listened to TWIABP again, and might bump Whenever up and Harmlessness down. :P
|
| Futures never saw your opinion on the new jimmy song. what did you think?
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Oh, sweet! He mentioned you a while ago, but I never paid much attention and sort of forgot about it. I'll listen to it again and see if my rating changes if you recommend me some cool emo to expand my taste? (Listened to it ages ago and loved it, but tried again and it didn't me as hard, I'll give it another shot soon.)
|
| Snake. lol i only got 70% ****
|
| onionbubs Nah **** it one list 1991-now then maybe a b sides thing. It pains me that I won't include city of blinding lights on a list but I can fit what I'd want off of dismantle and atyclb on my current draft. Plus, I'm not huge on songs of innocence or no line but I might try to squeeze unknown caller as I've always really enjoyed that track (not so much the rest of the album)
|
| onionbubs Gone is def a killer song too. I'm thinking the next parts besides this one will be atyclb-now and b sides cos this band has some of the best b sides
|
| onionbubs To be fair this is the first time I've listened to it in a while. Some of the songs are better than I remembered but it's certainly not one of their best
|
| onionbubs Pop is one weird record man. Half of it is great and half of it is some of my least favorite u2 songs. And it's so uneven too. Like it starts off with a song I'm not huge on, but I love do you feel loved, then mofo is a weaker track. It's one of the most lopsided albums there is
|
| onionbubs Actually no. That one gets played a ton around where I am. It's actually the fly. I mean I'll have to bend that rule with pop cos half the album was freakin singles. But no one really knows any of them outside of like staring at the sun and discotheque
|
| onionbubs I'm trying to refrain from using singles because while its in part my top 10 favorites it also serves as 10 songs I think people who aren't too farmiliar should check so I'm trying to stay away from super easy choices like one and stuff. Though there will be at least one single from achtung and it's not one a lot of people seem to talk about for some reason
|
| onionbubs I think I may lump rattle and hum into the next part since no cuts made the previous list and there's one specific cut that has grown on me a lot that I plan to add. Ordering the list is difficult man, but ultraviolet so far is my clear 1
|
| Conmaniac hahah 3 of those ratings were from albums i listened to this weekend but thanks Ash!
|
| AsleepInTheBack Yeah that's cool, it's not particularly sunny where I'm at, but I'm off to Spain in a week so I'm sure it'll be a more fitting album then.
|
| AsleepInTheBack Wow you gave it a 5? I'll definitely check it then, thanks for the rec
|
| Slex Cheers, appreciate the rec!! Caught me at the perfect time of looking for something new to listen to, checking it out now
|
 | osmark86 Nice list of 25 fav Thrice tracks. Didn't kniw you made one too. Guesd 25 is the bare minimum amount ^^. Great picks btw, I should've probably included The Great Exchange in mine too. That song is unbelievable. Cheers.
|
| Slex I'm a huge Thrice fan and I'm shocked at how easily it's their best release, thank you so much for convincing me to listen to it again
|
| Slex SO I listened to Beggars and I definitely just was too young when I last heard it, probably was sulking about it not being heavy after Vheissu. ANYWAYS, it's stunning and easily their best album, it blew me away.
|
 | AliW1993 Hey man, I'm coordinating this year's user's end of year lists. We're still looking for someone to cover Haken's 'Restoration' EP - would you be up for writing a short blurb within the next few days?
|
 | Gwyn. i'm curious and i can't stop thinking about it
|
| Snake. Well, he also likes Nirvana (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHpCgwNdDOM?t=14m29s), so he probably thinks that they're cool.
|
| Snake. Fun Fact: Dale Earnhardt, Jr. follows Brand New on Twitter.
