 | XingKing Bleeder and Helium Head are lightning in a bottle. Quite possibly my two favorite Brodsky releases ever
|
| XingKing I was never a big War Moans fan, too much 80's metal cheese, but three or four tracks were so stellar that I had to give it a 4. Let me know how you feel about Mutants when you get around to it. It definitely sounds a bit like all of their releases combined, so it might be perfect for you!
|
| XingKing It feels like a retread of previous material, even reusing riffs, and a lot of the songs just blur together for me. I just felt bored. I'm hoping I'll warm up to it but I decided to drop my War Moans rating to a 3, so who knows!
|
 | Rowan5215 been about two months now, decided to upend my life and move to the city and thought I'd have to severely cut down on my sputnik time. that said I just found an album I really want to review lmao, so it goes
|
 | Dewinged Good stuff! Yeah I like the punk, rock'n'roll vibe of that Darkthrone period, glad you're starting to get into that whole black'n'roll stuff too!
|
| XingKing I think I've heard some random tracks of his more recent stuff, so I'll have to give Beacons a listen!
|
| XingKing It's great, isn't it? Vinny is one of my all time favorite drummers so I'm stoked for anything that man does. This was one of my first introductions to Cloudkicker guys music too
|
 | YoYoMancuso Dude I can?t believe the reception so far. Hope you?ve been enjoying the record!
|
| XingKing Very strange that my post and yours both don't show up under our names lol
|
 | I've listened to it twice now! There are a few elements I find cheesy but overall I still really enjoy it. They go into those Cave In moments just enough to keep me satisfied and it feels like there's a lot of those moments here. And that production? Oh my god, so delicious.
|
| XingKing I haven't listened to it yet but I am very much looking forward to jamming it today or tomorrow! How do you feel about it?
|
 | Atari hey man! actually just about 2 weeks ago lol.. hard to say if it will last as my music addition will never fade but just barely have any time between working overtime and my three year old daughter. glad to see you still around lately, and hope things are going good for you! any exciting life changes?
|
| XingKing Please do! It should be a rewarding journey!
|
| XingKing Chelsea's material is pretty diverse album to album so you can probably hop in wherever you like but I think Abyss is her best work. If you liked Axe to Fall, you'll definitely enjoy All We Love. From there, you can move forward for a cleaner sound or backwards for a nastier sound. You Fail Me and AWLWLB are my favorites.
|
| XingKing I'm glad you like it though and I hope it leads to you listening to more Converge and Chelsea Wolfe because they both have really great discographies!
|
| XingKing I sort of like the first two songs but I feel the writing across most of the album feels incredibly lazy and uninspired. It's clear to me who wrote what and it just doesn't mesh at all to my ears to go from one artist's style on one section or even an entire song into the next with no sense of cohesion. I was hoping for Wretched World Eve https://convergecult.bandcamp.com/track/eve
|
| YoYoMancuso just realized i skipped over the 2nd half of your question - new album is a different vibe than those 2 songs. they were originally on the new tracklist, but they didn't fit and also made the album too long
|
| YoYoMancuso EP songs weren't finished yet and the completed songs resulted in a really solid album tracklist as they were
|
 | Jom Yes, great example with your Anberlin scenario. "Substantial" is perhaps purposefully vague, but your Anberlin case clearly fits the bill compared to "We slapped a remix at the end and changed the art, kinda." Cheers!
|
| XingKing Horizons East was a tiny step in the right direction but they're never coming back to what they were and I've given up on them lol. Bloodmoon I thought was going to be the moodier jams Converge has had throughout their career and it turned into a cluster **** of three incoherent ideas where the stylistic shifts feel like an hour of whiplash covered in a thick layer of the cheesiest s*** I've ever heard.
|
| Jom Hello! That seems sensible to me. The old (and possibly still current?) rule is that the Deluxe Edition has to significantly add to the original LP rather than just be a string of remixes or demos. Otherwise, integrate the bonus songs into the original LP as you did. While I'm not going to personally fine-tooth comb stuff like this, your strategy was perfect. Cheers!
|
| XingKing Thrice and Converge keep hurting me ;-; A lot of my dislike for Bloodmoon unfortunately comes from what I think are Brodsky's contributions, and the last Mutoid Man record also disappointed me a fair bit with how overtly metal it was. Cave In has never done me wrong but I said the same thing about those other bands and then when I pre ordered, they did me wrong so here we are lol
|
| XingKing Yess May can't come soon enough! I'm too scared to pre order albums anymore after getting burned too many times by my favorite bands and ending up with merch I hate lol
|
| XingKing And it's bangin'! So ****ing beefy. Getting some serious White Silence mixed with PPB vibes. STOKED to hear more and I know we will hear some Brodsky screams in my heart! Did you see they pressed 10k vinyl too? :O This is gonna be huge
|
| YoYoMancuso I see your support and appreciate you bro! More new music before the end of the year
|
 | Get Low arguments with people I'm never going to see eye to eye with.
|
| Get Low Yeah, so I've expressed some of my views on this site in the past, such as my dislike for cancel culture, my opinion that non-binaryism (as far as gender goes) doesn't have any legitimacy, and also I've used the "n' word a couple times on the site in jest. So as you can deduce, given our current political climate, users who are far-left don't like me, and enjoy making it known. With that being said, my main purpose on the site is to review albums and talk about music, and not get into extended
|
| Get Low Hey, if you want to have a convo about the accusations that Octagon just slung at me in the Aaliyah thread, feel free to shout me. I'm not interested in engaging with that user, nor do I want to clutter up that thread with nonsense.
|
| Get Low New Kandia album just dropped. Check that s***.
|
| Get Low Kandia has a new single out and it rules
|
 | Alexagon Have you been able to check them out yet? If so, know of anything similar I might like?
|
| Alexagon This band showed up in my daily mix on spotify, although I did first hear them almost 15 years ago by mistake lol.
|
| Alexagon So I found some new music I like. Ever hear of Naked Empire? Specifically their album Bottom Feeders. Definitely recommend them. They only have one rating on this site lol.
|
| Alexagon So I found some new music I like. Ever hear of Naked Empire? Specifically their album Bottom Feeders. Definitely recommend them. They only have one rating on this site lol.
|
| Alexagon Just started listening to Consider the Thief, and they're scratching an itch for me. I really like their sound.
|
| Alexagon How about bands that sound like Underoath but without the screaming/growling?
|
| Alexagon Do you know of any other bands that may have a sound like Jupiter by Cave In? I love spacey experimental rock like that.
|
| Alexagon I'm looking for something that has good melody to it but also has energy, preferably with technical guitars. Closure in Moscow's First Temple being the first thing that comes to mind. Or anything from Circa Survive.
|
| Alexagon Hey! How's it goin! Down to continue helping me find a band? lol
|
| YoYoMancuso you?re still the OG and that?ll always count
|
| YoYoMancuso luv u Ec thanks for being domestic terminal?s biggest fan!!!
|
| Alexagon Okie doke. Since this is so cumbersome I'm gonna start a discord server to chat in. Here's the link: discord.gg/metyPdSM
|
| Alexagon Oh ok gotcha. I don't see it anywhere on my end for some reason. I assume you get the notification only when I post to your Shoutbox?
|
| Alexagon Omg I didn't get a notification you responded. This site really needs a messaging system. I'm not even sure the best to way to chat with ya lol.
|
| Alexagon Hey, wanted to see if you're still down to help a gal out.
|
 | normaloctagon dk if u checked the lianne la havas album that came out last year, don't see it rated--it's really good
|
 | ieatbabies795 I already wrote my second review, i went with cloud nothings newer stuff :D
|
 | xxm You?re welcome.
|
| xxm You have some great taste, my friend.
|
| YoYoMancuso playing live is a big goal for us but i live in america aka stupidtown so no one is doing anything about the virus
|
| YoYoMancuso HUGE thanks for the bandcamp purchase! appreciate you, my friend
|
 | twlight hey man thanks for reaching out, I'm not currently in a band and i kind of retired Depth Connection. But i'm still writing stuff and trying to figure out where i wanna go musically next.
|
| YoYoMancuso just wanted to say thank you for listening to the record! looking forward to seeing what your rating will be : )
|
 | MarsKid That would require me to care too much than I already have lol.
|
 | TheSupernatural Glad you liked Dreaming In Black and White! I'm gonna have to check it out again, it's been a while
|
| MarsKid If I can find the time, I would like to. But that may not be in the cards yet.
|
| MarsKid How you doing these days my man?
|
 | Kaiwaz download it bro, trust me
|
| Kaiwaz Great minds think alike! Do you have discord by chance?
|
| Kaiwaz I like your ratings. Good stuff in there.
|
| Rowan5215 you like Norma Jean right? probably my favourite of the metalcore still going, been playing Wrongoders to death
|
| Rowan5215 I never got into Converge as much as I should, actually Until Your Heart Stops is basically kind of the sound I always wanted them to have but they never did. they do have absolutely classic songs though
|
| Rowan5215 yeah I've heard Old Man Gloom and love them, I think Zozobra was related to that project so I'll have to check them out. will give Mutoid Man a try too, thanks!
|
| Rowan5215 I love the differences in all three of their voices, haha. Caleb definitely has my favourite screams but it's insane that they were all in the same band doing vocals. I got to Planets of Old and White Silence to finish off yesterday, they were definitely inconsistent with some absolutely incredible songs on both. the first song on Planets of Old is wiiiiild
|
| Rowan5215 wow Perfect Pitch Black is way way better than I was expecting based on that average. I absolutely love this record, Paranormal is unbelievable. is Caleb the one doing all the screams on this album, the really throaty growl stuff?
|
| Rowan5215 there was some Pink Floyd influence I really really liked. Antenna was a bit hit and miss but Seafrost is unbelievable
|
| Rowan5215 lol yeah I listened up to Antenna with EPs today, will have to finish tomorrow. I liked it all and Tides was fantastic
|
| Rowan5215 I got halfway through Until My Heart Stops and looked out my window and there was a blood moon, emslash af
|
| Rowan5215 so uh, probably about six years after you first told me to listen to Cave In, I finally listened to them! they're very good!
|
 | Source Is the debut any good? I only heard Make a Sound
|
| Source yo I finally checked out Autopilot Off. They're pretty good!
|
| Atari Yeah, the new Judas Priest was surprisingly great! I hadn?t even heard their last few albums but decided to give it a go based on the reception. You might dig the new Sojourner from this year as well, iirc you?re more into harsh vocals than you used to be. The opening track is one of the most addicting metal tracks of 2018 imo
|
| Atari oh you know, living the dream lol. was pleasantly surprised to see your Futurama avatar pop up. any 2018 essentials I should know about you think I'd dig?
|
| Atari Yo man! Hope you?ve been well :]
|
| XingKing Ape of God is certainly a good starting point. I also really like Seminar III and Christmas. III is just one long ass song though, so maybe not a great starting point.
|
| XingKing They are very sexy and very heavy. If you enjoy Zozobra, you will likely enjoy OMG
|
| Atari I have not! Cheers for the rec man, always good to hear from u. I'll check them out tomorrow at work
|
| Atari Yeah moonchild is an excellent and atmospheric opener, but the second track infinite dreams is even better imo. Glad you're digging man, album honestly earns its 5 without a question for me personally :) did I already mentioned how epic the title track is? Also, if u end up really digging the album, I highly recommend you check somewhere in time as well. It's the closest album of theirs to seventh son sylistically
|
| Atari you gotta check seventh son of a seventh son man. it's the maiden album with the evil that men do and it's so epic. been listening to it on vinyl lately and it hasn't lost any of its appeal for me thankfully. it has such a great atmosphere and to be honest the evil that men do isn't even the best song
|
| Atari Glad to be of service man :)
|
| Atari yeah man! I think Anthony raneri learned a thing or two on his 2 solo EP's and they translated over to the new bayside album. The second half of the album is my favorite, lots of slick guitar-work
|
| Atari piece of mind was actually my first maiden album. I think I was sold the second I heard the trooper. some good songs on that maiden comp for sure, but it's also missing some of their best songs ;) just take your time man.
|
| Atari yeah man, maiden is the s***. my favorites are their self titled debut and seventh son of a seventh son. i have SSOASS on vinyl :] their self titled debut and killers are a different singer, and have kind of a punk sound to them i dig. even their newest album is pretty solid tbh. you may dig manila road as well since you dig maiden ... crystal logic is one of my all time favorite metal albums
|
| Atari not sure if you have apple music, but if so bayside released their new album 1 week early. honestly I didn't have much anticipation for it, but it's exceeding my expectations. some of the slickest guitar work of their career on this one
|
| Rowan5215 He made a deliberate effort to sing more beautifully on No Devo, although I think he was always great tbh. The No Devotion album is very good, recommend it as night driving music
|
| XingKing La Dispute and Gates are total snoozefests, so just find somewhere to relax while you wait for them to get off stage before they put you to sleep
|
| XingKing Daedalus and For Miles are my top two songs and they played both, so I'll die happy! They seem to be playing almost identical sets at every show this tour with the exception of one or two songs, so I guarantee you'll hear Daedalus. I think they said in their Reddit AMA that it takes several hours to form a setlist
|
| XingKing They played a lot from every album (except Identity and only one from Illusion). It was the greatest set list ever. Check it http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/thrice/2016/marquee-theatre-tempe-az-7bfec6d8.html
|
| Rowan5215 No Dev is their last album so yeah they pretty much stayed post-hc, but got way more experimental. That album has influences from post-rock, shoegaze, pop and ambient but it still stays heavy
|
| XingKing It's got a few songs that I do really enjoy, such as Black Honey or the Long Defeat. The new songs sounded great when they played them live too. I prefer Identity but this one gets a little better every time I listen to it. It was originally about a 3 for me and I'd probably give it a 3.5 now.
|
| Atari yes and no lol. I like bayside, but it wouldn't kill them to change things up a bit. they're just a bit too predictable at this point. I understand the whole if it ain't broke don't fix it argument but they really need to try something a little different imo
|
| Atari sorry for the late reply..that's cool man, I hope you enjoy it! Honestly I'm not sure about your question. I really doubt i'll work here for the rest of my life lol, but they have good benefits which is always my excuse for staying here. I actually have a suspicion my department is about to get laid off (and I wouldn't really mind because I'd get a good severance package and I'd have the work experience to find another job).
|
| Rowan5215 you can pretty much dive straight into No Dev. It speaks for itself as one of the most inventive, beautiful post-hardcore records ever made
|
| XingKing I'm slowly warming up to it but right now, I'd say it's their worst record. It has a lot of amazing moments and ideas that are immediately ruined by an atrocious chorus or generic vocal melody.
|
| Atari oh wow that's awesome man, congrats! what do you do exactly if you don't mind me asking? I'm still working at the same insurance company for the last 10 years lol. job security I guess, but it does get old at times
|
| Atari yeah I know haha, I'm just not as into melodeath as some people on this site. I liked the new anthrax, but haven't listened to it since it came out. I agree it's not their best guitar based album. what else is new? still working at the video/music store?
|
| Atari oh I almost forgot, bolt thrower is pretty great too (especially those once loyal)
|
| Atari hey man! honestly I don't listen to very much melodeath, but amon amarth is pretty cool if you haven't heard them. I'd say twilight of the thunder god is probably their most accessible album, so if you're not sold on the first track, you may not dig them. A lot of people who dig in flames/insomnium also really love dark tranquility, so maybe give them a try. Wish I could give you more recs :/
|
| Rowan5215 Salt and Shadow is really lovely too. Honestly War is one of their least good albums you seriously need to give No Devolucion a spin
|
| Rowan5215 it's annoying because the bad parts of it aren't whole songs, they're just bits. Like if there was entire bad songs I could just them or skip em every time, but instead it's a bad chorus here and a bad verse there and they're harder to skip. The good parts are still good though - Hurricane is prob one of my favourite Thrice songs ever. As time goes on I'm more and more a Thursday man though, Thrice doesn't do it for me like they used to :-(
|
| XingKing I listened to the new one yesterday and it was solid enough. Burn and the closer were my favorites. If I force myself to sit down and listen to Disillusion or seeing the songs played live even, it's great but I never have the urge to listen to the record and after I do, I can't remember a single thing about it.
|
| XingKing I wasn't really too interested but I guess I'll take a peak. Garden Window was great but the followup was pretty weak, in my opinion. If you've checked it out, what did you think of it?
|
| Rowan5215 I didn't like Incarnate much from what I heard. Jesse's still an amazing vocalist but the songwriting is just so stale these days. Much prefer TOG
|
| Rowan5215 Sweet, I'll have to give Incarnate a spin, wasn't really expecting much. If you want to see what I mean about Jesse's cleans check the TOG song Fight for Life. Chorus is absolutely stunning
|
| Rowan5215 Ec my man! How goes it? Definitely get Times of Grace. Probably his best work as a vocalist, the clean vocals are probably my favourite in the whole genre. Adam also sings a bit which is nice. I've only heard Disarm the Descent of the newer KSE, it was just okay.
|
| XingKing It was in Atlanta last year. They had a music festival and when I saw the lineup (absolutely insane), I knew I had to go. Flew all the way from Arizona too :p Mutoid definitely kills it as a three piece and they pull it off so well when performing live too
|
| XingKing https://youtu.be/kTdd4lg2Tq0 Check this out then. I think this version is much better since it doesn't have the cheesy guitar leads after the chorus. and seeing them both in the same day was a beyond magical experience. In fact, I saw Thrice that same day too!
|
| XingKing I'm so proud of you! That was my AOTY last year and I saw Mutoid Man and Cave In play in the same day :'D What's your favorite track?
|
| Atari Not yet haha but I am going to try to review more frequently :)
|
| Atari Thanks buddy! Hope things have been going good for u, it's been a while
|
| XingKing I'd grab both and then tell me what you like and dislike and I will guide you towards the right choices, my son
|
| XingKing Good point about the label thing! Their first four records were on a different label than the other two. I mean, if you're looking to own a physical piece of a handful of songs, it's not a bad selection. I would rather scour Ebay or Amazon for super cheap copies of the full records though (if I wasn't a pirate)
|
| XingKing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glBiM3KUNGI
|
| XingKing Yes and no. They are all pretty good songs with the exception of Robots and Humans, but that track selection is just weird as hell. 2 from the debut, 2 from the sophomore, 5 from their third and 1 from their fourth. If you liked Wrongdoers, listen to Redeemer and then Meridional. If you want more Botch stuff, listen to O'God and then the debut.
|
 | MuhNamesTyler You're right she does have a good voice, that slide is pretty cool too. Their other songs are pretty fun, probably gets better after a few beers too. I thought Devil Man was pretty sweet
|
| MuhNamesTyler Agreed, I'm gonna check more of their stuff. I found a chick fronted hardcore/punk band a while back that I thought were pretty good. Tell me what you think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaOWs0APWyY
|
| MuhNamesTyler Yeah I dig it, I'm usually not much for chick fronted bands but they were actually good.
|
 | Calc I dig the band but I don't hear the southerny-ness lol
|
| Calc I don't remember but I'm def gonna check it out thanks man
|
| Atari vocally, it's not really much different than bayside - but instrumentally it's more stripped down with influences that range from country to jazz and straight up pop. all those influences are pretty subtle though. if you do check his solo stuff out let me know what you think man!
|
| Atari by the way anthony raneri of bayside has a new solo EP you might dig it
|
| Atari Hadn't planned on it maybe if I find time haha. If u haven't heard anything outside of the singles I highly recommend giving it a shot cause there are definitely some better songs than the ones they initially released. All the songs are on YouTube I believe and my favorites are prolly dying words, my fear of an unlived life, and the title track. Dying words is easily one of their heaviest songs
|
| Calc the new ongoing concept rules, no surprise. got my review ready for tuesday too lol
|
 | DaveyBoy My guess is that I will probably still rate it at least a 3. I always give LPs a chance to grow on me and these type of albums are made for that. Hell, even new Sleeping With Sirens is growing on me and theres so much that is wrong with that record.
|
| DaveyBoy Nope. Will do eventually. I do have the new Young Guns already, so just a matter of time there. No reason for being slow other than other reviews already on the books.
|
 | Mongi123 If you're good at something and by some chance also have a passion for it, never do it for free. I know the joker said something along those lines but it doesn't make it any less true lol you just gotta find out what that it and try to turn that into career form.
|
| Mongi123 That's good man. It's ok though, your career doesn't define you which is a common misconception. What you do is not just your career.
|
| Mongi123 Hey dude! Long time no talk for sure. It's been nice dude, just jamming, liking my new job and started down the path to become a clinical psychologist. It's liberating to finally figure out your calling. How are you?
|
| Rowan5215 back in Year 11 when HSC was starting to heat up my teacher said we could contact him on facebook anytime to ask questions so we wouldn't have to wait until school hours to work stuff out. I was the only person in the class (probs the school) who didn't have FB so I just caved in and got it to join the class group to get some helpful info. Since then of course I've started using it for normal facebook purposes
|
| Atari the more i listen to the new emery, the more i like it
|
| Rowan5215 oh yeah I was anti-FB at one point, over that now tho
|
| Atari well hopefully you can get all this moving crap behind you man haha. yeah, new haste the day rules. there's a bunch of stuff i haven't heard by them tbh, i've only heard their new one and attack of the wolf king. i'm really not too picky though (as i'm sure you know). I dig almost everything lol i hardly have any negative ratings.
|
| Atari so how's the move going?
|
| Rowan5215 how are we not facebook friends already? My name's Jack Bowden and my DP's a guy looking really seedy with his thumbs up add me up lad
|
| Rowan5215 I have no idea honestly but I do have him on facebook and hit him up every now and then so not all is lost. I'm having a great time here and I feel like I already learned more than I did in all of high school. Yeah I moved out of my childhood house last month for the last time, it's always rough, good luck with that man
|
| Atari oh that's right, no rush my friend was just curious on your thoughts. hopefully you're not too stressed with moving and you can find some enjoyment/relaxation over memorial day weekend!
|
| Atari yeah he's not in it as much as emery's older albums. but at least he's actually in it unlike the last album. idk though, i'm not really a big fan of the new album so hopefully it will grow on me. you still digging it?
|
| Rowan5215 Yeah man, you me and Xing need to make a return in the Beggars thread some day soon eh. Since we last spoke I think I've spent like three months at uni, met heaps of new people, done some really interesting coursework. How about you bruh?
|
| Atari it is gorgeous isn't it? the last few songs on the new silverstein are prolly my favorites. as far as emery, yes i've heard a few songs off the new album, but i'm still trying to form an opinion on it. used to be pretty big on them, but they've sort of grown off me over the past few years. Devin's back on vocals though, so i'm definitely hoping i'll like it more than the last album!
|
| Atari late reply but good luck with your move man. hope you find a new job too since your'e sick of your current one haha. glad you dig the new silverstein too. I know you're a bigger fan of shane's screams but what do you think of the closing track toronto unabridged?
|
| Atari i'm pretty good man, same ol same ol i suppose haha. you still working at hastings or whatever, and if so how's that treating you? so far i don't dig the new silverstein as much as the last one actually, but i still think it's pretty great. i must admit some of the heavier sections/screaming is pretty nice on the new album
|
| Atari how the hell have you been man? any thoughts on that new silverstein album? :]
|
| Calc yeah it's pretty awful....I like the music though lol
|
| Calc another southerny band that has good music is lakota de kai (at least their latest), they do a heavy la dispute thing with whiny spoken word bulls*** if you're into that stuff but the music is pretty good.
|
| Calc of course, they have the old underoath guy in them. never really listened to them though
|
| Calc I havent given it a heavy rotation but I remember it "rocking" less if you know what I mean. It's more progressive than the last one and post-rocky. Liked it though!
|
| Calc I did know about TOC's new album and song though I'm looking forward to that definitely. I dont know if i;ve told you about this band but I found them a while ago and always liked listening to them from time to time. http://foreignwar.bandcamp.com/album/this-island-earth
|
| Calc this s*** rips dude thanks!!!
|
 | cryptside Thanks man. It's a cool feeling, I definitely like being a part of the contrib team. If nothing else, I will be able to continue to better my reviews so that's cool.
|
| cryptside Lol I just needed a change, I suppose. How are you doing, buddy?
|
| cryptside You'll never know! Dead and gone forever!!
|
| cryptside I have heard the song Mural and it is damn near perfect, but I haven't had the chance to really delve in the entire album. I need to check it as well.
|
| Calc yeah I didn't mean anything other than the album sleepwalking lol. They took a hard digger after that though. glad you enjoyed!
|
| XingKing This song in particular reminds me of Thrice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1I9GIMTVRM and this song is very mathcore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXp4hdd2pk both are on Wrongdoers
|
| XingKing I would go Wrongdoers - Redeemer - O'God - Meridional (Bastardizer is on this record) - Bess the Child and then never touch Anti-Mother because it's a pile of s***. Their records are severely underrated on Sput and the early stuff is very Botch like and the newer stuff is almost like Botch and Thrice
|
| XingKing Check out their album Wongdoers. It's their best in my opinion and it's ****ing awesome.
|
| Calc yeah there was a time it worked but s***s ****ed on this site now, frost* is neo-prog and very sugary but good and lye by mistake is straight up instrumental wank but again, good. hope you like
|
| Calc ec, try a band called frost* (its spelled that way) and another called lye by mistake
|
 | AtomicWaste I wish; most of the stuff I've encountered in that arena is instrumental. I think that's part of what makes Thank You Scientist so nifty.
|
| Atari no i haven't actually. that would be an awesome tour, but honestly no good bands ever come to my town : /
|
| Mongi123 Hmm never heard of them. No time to listen today cause I'll be leaving to be with my family soon but what kind of music are they?
|

| Atari The walking wounded is probably my favorite, that album kicks ass. Let me know what u think if U check out their first 2 albums or shudder man
|
| Atari i honestly can't decide between bayside's first 2 albums. I'd say you should just check them both out haha
|
| Atari hey buddy, it's honestly been a long time since i've heard bayside's older stuff but i remember liking their first 2 albums better than shudder. i'm gonna listen to them on spotify right now and i'll let you know which album i like better between self titled and sirens and condolences ;)
|
| Atari yeah he's been pretty poppy ever since everything in transit to be honest but even his work in something corporate was more pop oriented than most pop punk is haha. part of it is that it's piano instead of guitars. anyways did you like it or...?
|
| Atari that's weird about lowcountry haha maybe it's a sign that you need to check them out!
|
| Atari yeah nintendo is definitely stingy about dropping prices especially for it's popular franchises like mario and zelda. I actually have mario kart 8 and new donkey kong for wii u as well. i still haven't beat donkey kong country though lol. I also have zelda wind waker HD and shovel knight downloaded on the wii u. What i really like about Bayonetta 2 though is how it's unlike any of the other wii u games out so far. I love mario/zelda but it's nice to finally have an action game haha
|
| Atari nah i haven't played hyrule warriors yet but i might ask for it for christmas haha. Don't really have money to be dropping 60 bucks on games but Bayonetta 2 was an exception. Most ridicuously fun game i've played for the wii u prolly
|
| Atari you might dig envy on the coast dude but i'm not sure haha. check the song 'sugar skulls' from their first album if you have time, that's the song that got me into them a few years back
|
| Atari so i've come to the conclusion that thank you scientist kicks ass :] after listening to them more i actually think the singer sounds kinda like coheed and cambria and envy on the coast. however, the song carnival does sound really similar to motion city soundtrack! gonna jam them more today
|
| Calc good! finally something I rec you that you actually like lol
|
| Atari i'm really not sure yet haha. i didn't dislike them by any means, but they were kind of a demanding listen so I need to hear them again soon!
|
| Atari no biggie man, different stokes for different folks! I agree he shows off his better singing voice on his solo album, but i just love how emotional his voice gets as well as the depressing lyrics.
|
| Atari man that surprises me lol. Bobby Barnett's vocals touch me in ways i shall not speak of
|
| Atari fair enough man, there are 2 singers so i'm guessing it's not bobby barnett's voice that's bothering you but i could be wrong haha
|
| Atari nice hope you had a good weekend! and no worries man, was just curious ;)
|
| Atari so you still enjoying the captain we're sinking album or was that just the alcohol talking? lol
|
| Calc Trioscapes are the easiest comparison but TYS are in a class of their own. All I have for you are Father Figure- Congratulations on Your Loss and probably some Miles Davis
|
| Atari Lol niiicce. Definitely not a bad album to drink to, glad you're starting to like it!! Any songs in particular stand out to you?
|
| Rowan5215 Yeah I would've posted in the Thrice or Warren thread before I went otherwise Xing would've killed me for leaving without asking his permission first. I'll listen to it just after this Devy album!!!
|
| Rowan5215 Ec bro! I missed you while I was gone. And no I have not, could you jog my memory as to what they sound like?
|
| Atari listen to 'a bitter divorce' or 'more tequila, less joe' off of the future is cancelled too if you have time. I had a feeling you'd like his vocals more on his solo album but those songs both hit hard and have some of his best vocals on the album.
|
| Atari depending on how much you like barnett's vocals, I'd definitely recommend listening to captain, we're sinking again. It's more aggressive than the solo album, and has 2 vocalists, but it's amazing
|
| Atari also, i really think you'd like that bobby barnett - little wounds album so be sure to check that out too. It's on bandcamp if you can't find it anywhere else. Be warned though, it's depressing lol
|
| Atari really really lol. Pierce the Viel's vocalist might be more annoying but i think they sound similar personally. and i'll check out blue pills as well when i get the chance ;)
|
| Atari the vocalist actually reminds me more of pierce the veil than MCS but I can still see where you would get that comparison. Honestly, it really is unique but it's gonna take me some time to digest due to the song lengths and the fact that i'm not used to these specific genres being mixed together haha. thanks again for the rec though man :]
|
| Atari that thank you scientist band is definitely interesting lol. just heard the song feed the horses
|
| Mongi123 Haha ladder theory an the only one I know are the best on there.
|
| Mongi123 Cool man I'll prob try beggers next. Btw be on the look out for te beechers review. It'll be coming soon.
|
| Mongi123 Yea it seems like people would look at them differently. Just asking cause in case I'd ever do a review of them in the distant future just wanted to see how you'd categorize them. I actually got a bit of a Radiohead and dredg vibe from M/M at times.
|
| Mongi123 I'm actually starting to like M/M a lot more now. How would you categorize this band? Post hardcore? Experimental rock or art rock? Either way, M/M has a way of being a pretty standard rock album for me but at the same time it's still really engaging because everyone in the band doesn't just play mundane instrumentation :D
|
| Mongi123 Major/Minor was pretty awesome. Had it's fair share of gems but nothing as mind blowing as Vhessiu.
|
| Mongi123 Cool I'll try it soon and get back to you
