 | JohnnyoftheWell Gave the ep a jam dude - solid musicianship all round! What are you playing?
|
 | pjorn are you hasan? my comment if yes lol
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Dude, I finally checked out Palace of Mirrors. You were so right, WHAT an album - it's like they borrowed from and expanded upon SC3 in the best way possible. Can't believe this is the same band that made Buck Fever.
|
 | cb123 Nice! look forward to reading em man. I'd say so far either self titled naked city or electric masada 50th anniversary release. I quite like Spillane and Psychomagia from his solo works though along with the Moonchild series and his work with Masada. The release he did with Justin Broadrick under the GOD name is always fantastic aswell.You?
|
| cb123 I'm working my way through Zorn's massive collection including collaborations. Must say it's been great reading all your soundoffs, seems like they pop up on nearly every release! haha

 | SmileNerd You sir, have an amazing username and profile picture.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell HYPEEEEE http://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=197742#136477
|
| JohnnyoftheWell I need to check that too; you need Book M and Book of Horizons right now though. Both incredible albums.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Couldn't say; I'm planning on checking it soon and wondered if you dug it. I've heard the first one though, and that's a trip.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Hey buddy, have you heard Secret Chiefs 3's second album (Second Grand Constitution...)?
|
 | deathschool Nice ATF soundoff. Very samey sounding album. Definitely overrated to me.
|
 | Angelboros Boy, do you write some very thoughtful soundoffs. The John Zorn (his saxophone abilities are mesmerizing) ones in particular really stand out, IMO
|
| JohnnyoftheWell I've heard a couple of songs, but am waiting for the cd - considerable hype!
|
 | Veldin Enjoying all the Zorn soundoffs, keep 'em coming!
|
 | Mythodea Haha, has been so long since I wrote to you that I'd forgotten what my mesage was about! Anyway, you're welcome. I'd appreciate it a lot if you would give me your opinion on the album afterwards!Cheers.
|
| Mythodea dude, saw your sound off for Blade Runner. If you like his music, check 1492: Conquest of Paradise OST. It's one of the best albums in my life.
|
 | danielcardoso Nah, I'm just kidding man. I don't play in Anathema, I don't even play keyboards ;) I do play guitar and harmonica in a local Portuguese band called Invictus, we're starting to make a name for ourselves :)
|
 | TheSpaceMan cheers man you clearly put time into them and you've kinda inspired me to eventually do soundoffs for all my 5s... and is the first HL your fav? I'm a huge fan of HL2 episode 2 but thats also the most recent one I've played so it might just be the most fresh in my head... they are all amazing games!
|
| TheSpaceMan dude you seem like an awesome user, was reading a bunch of your soundoffs and I agree with a ton of your ratings, plus you seem to like Half Life or at least Valve so thats really cool too
|
 | Motiv3 Hey dude, do u have a link for the newest swans album? :)

|
 | TwistedJayy Hey, are you gonna finish reviewing that "In Search of the" boxset by Buckethead?
|
 | SadAndHolyGlow No problem. Let me know if you do. I'm probably gonna write a review on it, no matter how I feel about it.
|
| SadAndHolyGlow Hey! I really liked your review of A Million Dead Birds Laughing's "Xen." Did you hear about their new album coming out in a few days? Just thought if spread the word.
|
 | Chortles thanks man, not sure if i will like this but i'll jam it and take a crack at reviewing it regardless
|
 | Atari review game assignment: Wire - 154 (happy writing!)
|
| Atari hey man for that review a random album game i need an album without a review ;)
|
 | KILL sweet dude rock on keep the metal laivem/m/
|
 | Apollo The pillars of creation...cool pic man, recognized it right away
|
 | YoYoMancuso Damn, well that solo might be my favorite part of the album. Keep it up!
|
 | Yazz_Flute Hey man, the pleasure's mine! I really enjoy the stretch of tracks from Glass Room to Absolute, most especially Glass Room and the first minute or so of On A Rail. I hope you guys keep it up!
|
| Yazz_Flute I had no idea you were in Gatling. You should check out my best of 2012 list and see where it places...
|
 | KingHarkinian I have no idea, man. It was the greatest wasn't it?
|
 | camaraderie No thanks, I'd make a terrible reviewer. Even then, I wouldn't know much to say about your stuff. :3
|
| camaraderie Oh, okay then, I was wondering about that. Either way, it's already happened, I don't think you should that review. There's no need. I really do like your music, especially On A Rail. Can't wait for some new tunes.
|
| camaraderie If you are from Gatling, your band rules bro.
|
 | Dashy I'm really liking On A Rail right now, but haven't been able to listen to the album too much since I got a lot of other stuff also.
|
| Dashy Thanks for the rec, really enjoying it.

|
 | Dis_Con_Nec_Ted Regarding the new one, I'd say save that for last. It takes some getting used to compared to the previous two.
|
| Dis_Con_Nec_Ted "I got it mostly because Gavin Harrison is one of my favourite drummers and Porcupine Tree is awesome." I think we have something in common haha. That should also be the reason to give it more of a chance. I remember seeing Gavin perform the song "Unsettled" for the first time on youtube and thinking I have to hear more of this, even if the vocals were rather intriguing yet interesting. That song is also from Drop, in fact there are a few gems to be found on the album.
|
| Dis_Con_Nec_Ted I applaud you for checking out Circles, as it seems they're not biggest thing on the sput heh. For the average listener maybe for good reason. But I'd say let it grow. Didn't like the vocals at first but I gave it a chance and really dig them now. I also listened to Drop (their best) first so that may be it. But yeah, the vocals are certainly an acquired taste, so I don't blame you ;P
|
 | XfingTheSullen I actually took a huge plummet in my approval for calling one album by in flames "gay" in a review :P
|
 | Haz likewise, my friend
|
 | Meatplow hey man. aiming for a higher standard of reviewing I guess. my new account is Haz, you would probably be better off contacting me there.

|
 | Grignard Why thank ya! I have been reading some of your Buckethead reviews in that past and they convinced me to check out some of his other stuff (think Bermuda Triangle and Kaleidoscalp). I must agree I dig your musical tastes as well. BigB is the s***!

 | demon of surveillance I think I'll wait a couple weeks...I'm sure there will be lots of people pissed about more battle lists.
|
| demon of surveillance hey dude I was wondering if you wouldn't mind if I did a battle of the albums with individual bands, based off of your stuff. for example "Battle of the Albums: (insert band name)" and then the three top rated albums by that band. there wouldn't be any finals or anything, just rounds for each band. do you think people would complain about it too much?
|
 | 731 Please stop making those Battle lists. There's enough stupidity on sputnik already
|
 | theacademy make sure u don't seed opeth and godspeed in the same quarterfinal cuz it would be unfortunate if we dont get to see a rematch...
|
 | dr2den then whats the point of life
|
 | Bitchfork oh well then you have no life and take sea's advice because you have no idea what you're talking about most of the time.
|
 | Ire make a classical battle. Mozart(duh), Beethoven(duh) and Bach(duh) would be cool to see.
|
 | SeaAnemone so why not spread the word about BETTER bands that the site hasnt heard about instead of regurgitating the same bs over and over? (and obviously you're not to blame, there's no hostility here, I'm merely making a point, and your lists are a brilliant ex. of what I believe to be an underlying huge problem in the site)
|
| SeaAnemone "Thursday has a highest-rated album just as high as the other bands (4.1)" Seriously? c'mon we both know how little those ratings mean... "But anyway, maybe I'll ask next time," Correct... "I just don't think it's that big of a deal tbh." OK, but it's as big of a deal as the validity you want your contest to have. More apt choices for bands would be: Jawbreaker, Jawbox, Drive Like Jehu, Frodus, Shellac, Unwound, ATDI, Armchairpolitician, La Dispute, etc.
|
| SeaAnemone "I disagree, the fact Thursday is in this isn't laughable at all." OK, let me explain why then... "They are one of the biggest post-hardcore acts of all-time." False, maybe true to somebody who doesn't listen to post-hardcore... "Should I pick bands that are bigger on Sputnik, or bands that are more popular in general?" Neither, I thought the point was to pick the best or most essential? Neither of these qualities reflect 'best' or 'most essential'...
|
| SeaAnemone that's not true at all, I bet ATDI would have won considering they created what's widely regarded as the greatest modern p-h album. And the fact that you included Thursday over a ton of more worthy candidates is laughable, really. just ASK somebody who knows what they're talking about next time please, that is if you actually want this contest to succeed in any way
|
| SeaAnemone not trying to be n asshole dude but some of your band choices are pretty pathetic... nothing against you, obviously I don't consider myself to name 3 essentialist bands from the 18 genres, but you should really be asking advice from the people who KNOW the genres if you want the contest to retain any semblance of quality
|
 | SlightlyEpic screamo is a bad idea of you only include 3 because it just is okay
|
| Ire a screamo list would be a bad idea because you would ruin it
|
 | sniper Oh s*** and don't forget pg. 99 people (I) would freak out.
|
| sniper There are a lot to cover and people will complain about various bands being missing, but DEFINITELY Gospel, CTTS and probably City of Caterpillar. How many would you include?
|
| Ire i'll take academys place every time you make a gay list. this is just a warning.
|
 | acADHDemy (2/2) missed in a list that runs concurrently with the 2nd to last genre. You provide a nice service but a little transparency would be appreciated from your voters. That's all i'm arguing for...
|
| acADHDemy (1/2) i will stop if you take two (very fair, in my opinion) courses of action. 1. Run-off Megadeth v. Metallica. I will allow you to break the one list per day rule so this can run concurrently with the next round. 2. Reserve the final 'genre' for bands that you have left off the other lists. I understand it is difficult to please everyone with nominations in each category, so I can cut you some slack, but you do miss some big ones here and there... you should let users nominate bands you
|
 | tombits i want to see a crunkcore list.
|
 | Yeahtoast Dude, how long until your next list and what's the genre?! I'm in a different time zone, it's 2:15 in the morning here and I'm in work early and the only reason I'm up is I'm anxious to see the list choices D: I missed it last night haha
|
| sniper Do a metalcore one next. Converge, DEP, Botch, and whoever else people ask for. An a post-hardcore one would be really cool too.
|
 | MrHotMoms you have to do a runoff for metallica and megadeth. it's so close and so many posts were d; its bulls***.
|
 | couldwinarabbit Hey, nice to see one of these again. What genres are you gonna do on the indie side? Like what would Radiohead or Sonic Youth fall under?
|
 | Nagrarok I already put it in the list, but here's an extra shout to urge you to really check out Violator. Album is so awesome.
|
 | Hoopy Aha, touchè. I have since gone back and listened to all the songs off this album through their myspace and youtube profiles (TheGoblinChicken), lest I be labeled a hypocrite. I have to say I stand by my previous posts to you.
|
| Hoopy I honestly lack the time or patience to listen through the 'whole' album but I have listened to the first 6 tracks and there are whole riffs where the drums and guitars don't sync up, also some riffs where both guitars on the track don't sync, which is odd because from my understanding there is one guitarist. I've said my piece.
|
| Hoopy Indeed. I was rather harsh in my first post for I thought this was a group of grown men and I appologize. Some tips to make this a better album, tune up before every track if you have s***ty guitars. Maybe play to a click track as well, as most of the songs have some time issues. Taking into consideration how green (as in young) this band is, they have some decent ideas/riffs in some of their songs. Just need to tighten things up a bit, if they want to be taken as seriously as they desire.
|
 | lobby Nihilanth, which was alright, but it sounds really underproduced and albums this obscure can never be THAT good (8 5 stars)
|
 | WvaSkittle who won/lost on round six worst band ever
|
 | Carnifex Hey can you send me that Hasan album to firefoxjunkie1@gmail.com ? I'm really curious.
|
 | 8bit sick man, i see you already got it up, k-fed doesn't stand a chance lol.
|
| 8bit when does the next round of the worst band begin man?
|
 | scissorlocked Hey man,any suggestions for a first buckethead album???
|
 | EBTCardMania It has nothing to do with you. It's just a really unimportant and boring reason to make a list.
|
| KILL yea man everything about half life is epic
|
 | NeutralThunder12 Love your Battle lists, you should do a genre battle or something; like prog bands versus other prog bands, post-rock bands versus post-rock (though we all know who would win that...), metalcore V metalcore, stuff like that. Anyway, whatever you do, I'm sure it will be awesome.
|
| Nagrarok Yes of course I could ignore them, but in fact I liked the idea, and thought you should have not stretched out the number of lists so much.
|
 | chambered89 you GOTTA put deftones in the tournament man!
|
 | bungy Battle of the Bands thing is cool, thanks for doing it.
|
 | Progmaster85 lol good I'm glad they were knocked out. Looking forward to the later rounds.
|
| Progmaster85 hahaha I love prog though I'm no real prog master yet (the name was a joke), and yeah qwe3 is a supreme elitist who probably sits at home and criticizes Family Guy for being 'too random' lol. Colors is fantastic, one of the most unique albums out there. Can't wait for your battle of the bands to continue. Did you have Converge in their?
|
| Progmaster85 cool man, very cool. Looking forward to it. Seeing how you have a variety of tastes, out of curiosity, who is your favorite band?
|
 | TheNewWhack I'm just gunna throw something out there...A Wilhelm ScreamBomb The Music Industry!PropagandhiThat would be a close battle...
|
| Progmaster85 hey bro, when are you going to do the final rounds of Battle of the Bands?
|
 | Maniac! i know this wont make much of a difference on your decision...but id like to see tool in a future list
|
 | Foxhound Just throwing out ideas (The Cure, The Smiths, Joy Division)
|
 | Deviant. Not to be an ass but can you please recount for Opeth, I count 42 votes for them
|
 | Romulus From one FNM fan to another you can give me the inside scoop on whether or not they'll be in this?
|
| Nagrarok Would have voted for part 3, but I'm barely online around the weekend. Don't care for part 4.
|
| Nagrarok I am wondering about part II. Make it some more exciting please.
|
 | Kronzo Hey lol.. these shoutboxes are pretty cool.
