  • BlueSwan hello hope things are well with you sir!
    May 12 10:30 AM
  • WatchItExplode There some novelty hearing this kind of music with a female Londoner accent but it's still just rocks
    June 4 12:10 AM
  • JustinKing Hell, yeah, my dude! I'm stoked to see what their new album is going to be like, too. I know James was saying he's really nervous for how it'll turn out, but given their track record, I know they'll make something worth being in the top albums of the year.
    April 1 05:25 AM
  • OwMySnauze Also check out the band Escape From Echo Base. Think you?ll definitely like them.
    October 23 08:08 PM
  • OwMySnauze No problem man, glad you dig them. Their earlier singles are the best imo
    October 23 05:40 PM
  • Casavir Oh, I didn't realize you'd check it out, thanks. Check out that Hot Cross album as well, you'll especially like that one if you're looking for post-hardcore stuff.

  • JustinKing I'm in McMinnville, TN. Little podunk town with not much to offer, but it's a good midway point to all the better cities around it. When I go to shows, I typically only have to drive an hour and a half at the most.
    October 23 03:30 AM
  • JustinKing Oh, for sure. Ever since I met them, they've become a big influence on my own music, and James and I talked about it once how we write songs in similar ways, like trying not to repeat sections, making the song flow well from section to section, not focusing on choruses, all that jazz. He jokes with me via Facebook a lot, telling me I should just come to Virginia and join the band. If I had the balls to, I'd take him up on the offer in a heartbeat! It's dope as hell to find another FA fan!
    October 23 03:17 AM
  • JustinKing Dude, that's awesome! I've seen them twice, and the second time, James and Dave had me come on to perform guest vocals for Irony Is a Double-Edged Sword with them, that "taking one for the team" part. By far one of my favorite live acts, and such nice guys on top of that.
    October 23 03:03 AM
  • BlueSwan that made me laugh reading that lol
    May 13 12:12 AM
  • BlueSwan I dont mind one veil of maya album but when I seen them live at warped I thought it was pretty boring also, glad you enjoyed dgd and underoath!

  • BlueSwan Very good! you happen to hear any of the new glassjaw?
    November 26 12:42 AM
  • BlueSwan How have you been brotha
    November 20 06:40 AM
  • Parallels Then just keep an eye on it after about 15 mins with the lid on so the cabbage doesn't disintegrate into nothing. It will usually shrink.
    June 6 07:00 AM
  • Parallels Np ^^. I would fry the onions and get the meat cooked a little bit in seperate pans (with a bit of an oil of your choice and if the meat isn't already precooked) just cause you might want them nice and browned. Otherwise the lazy way is just to throw them all together, but in all cases you'll usually want to bring the pot to a good boil on high and then turn it down a hair so you can put the lid on it without it boiling over.
    June 6 06:57 AM
  • NastyCrab No problem dude. I wish you luck on your food-quest. I know I'm struggling to eat well too atm
    June 2 01:57 PM

  • BlueSwan how bout that single though
    August 22 09:42 PM
  • TheTripP Btw you may like Aqualeo if you dug Priceless, it's his duo group with Acie High
    August 9 07:47 PM
  • TheTripP Priceless is pretty beast, straight forward lyricism and crazy ideals! Not a problem!
    August 9 07:45 PM
  • Futures haha! thanks my dude i appreciate it.
    July 28 07:49 PM
  • Futures oh hahahahahaha. man it's whatever. who really cares it's a music website. people like to hold grudges because i called them gay like 2 years ago or something haha
    July 28 07:40 PM
  • BlueSwan I feel like this will be the best album with Tilian **** da haters bounce
    July 28 07:18 PM
  • Futures link is broken?
    July 28 05:42 PM
  • BlueSwan im so stoked lol
    July 16 02:54 AM
  • Kronzo Early access, meet and greet, signed tour poster and some other goodies. Safe to say that I'm pretty excited
    July 15 04:05 PM
  • Hawks Idk how much of a black metal fan you are, but the new Coldworld is gonna be owning my soul for probably the rest of the year. So if you're into that kinda thing check it hard.
    July 15 01:16 PM
  • Hawks Sure bro, probably won't be until later though. :]
    July 15 01:09 PM
  • Kronzo Bought VIP tickets for Toronto, it's the first time they've come to canada in years!
    July 15 01:39 AM
  • Kronzo Hey man! Seems like we do, I'm stoked for the new Sianvar coming out. I thought Blank Face was a big step up from Oxy personally. I'll definitely give your review a read
    July 14 11:36 PM
  • BlueSwan are you going to see them on the new tour ?
    July 13 04:46 PM
  • Calc pretty decent. tilian can nail the songs technically but he has no power in his voice and it's annoying. like i don't even think his vocals are actually live on that album there's some touch ups
    July 12 12:52 AM
  • BlueSwan It was good! Probably a solid 3.5 overtime it really showcases what you get live now!
    July 11 06:40 PM
  • Calc i agree
    July 11 04:19 PM
  • Jots sure I'll look later today
    July 11 02:17 PM
  • Idleness heehee
    June 15 01:52 AM
  • Frippertronics no prob
    June 15 01:12 AM
  • Frippertronics kind of a cop out, but I made a list for another user, so this could hold you over http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=972683
    June 15 12:42 AM
  • Idleness heres some "experimental" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmAKthDadpY
    June 14 10:08 PM
  • Frippertronics experimental is kind of a huge umbrella term or whatever, what exactly are you looking for?
    June 14 06:40 PM
  • Relinquished if you like Ngaiire then check out Hiatus Kaiyote. they're cool alt r
    June 1 09:36 PM
  • FLCL ring a bell
    May 20 03:53 PM
  • FLCL I love death grips man
    May 20 02:33 AM
  • FLCL Yeah I agree. Apart from trap lord they really haven't ever released a very consistent album. and even that had some duds....
    April 30 10:28 PM
  • FLCL ferg was disappointing
    April 30 01:06 AM
  • FLCL Dude no lie I'm a huge mitch fan
    April 23 01:12 AM
  • FLCL haha glad to see you liked suicide silence
    April 21 06:17 PM
  • BMDrummer sure man, don't jam as much skramz as i used to, still love that s*** tho
    April 18 12:58 PM
  • FLCL Digital Mystikz
    March 23 08:55 PM
  • FLCL Fair enough, I can see where you are coming from. Anyways I need to do another review soon it's been a while
    March 22 01:41 PM
  • FLCL Have you checked out the new flatbush? its a pretty chill record and worth the listen
    March 21 07:14 PM
  • FLCL crazy how he can release some unfinished throwaways that are still better than most actual releases
    March 21 04:42 PM
  • FLCL nice kendrick review man
    March 21 03:47 PM
  • Jots good stuff. nah the review was decent but be wary that when you cover a release THAT big, it's gonna garner more traffic, and more prying eyes.
    March 5 11:01 PM
  • ScuroFantasma No worries dude
    March 5 03:16 AM
  • Ignimbrite I mean, it wasn't exactly the highest-effort feedback I've ever given, but I'm glad you appreciated it!
    March 4 10:59 PM
  • adr the ep/album haven't read the review lol
    March 4 09:27 PM
  • FLCL I don't consider myself too good of a writer so most of the time I don't know what to criticize tbh
    February 25 07:24 PM
  • Snake. what is your profile picture
    February 25 12:23 AM
  • FLCL sounds good bro
    February 22 12:00 AM
  • FLCL That bad brains record is awesome and so is the stooges'. If you haven't heard velvet underground also check that one out
    February 20 04:44 PM
  • FLCL Yeah, this one had a lot of potential forsure, just too long and a little unfocused. Anyways, I've been on a punk/hardcore stint lately
    February 19 09:47 PM
  • FLCL Totally agree. Yeezus was really plain to me, a pretty lame attempt at doing barebones hiphop. I think a lot of songs on tlop could (and should've) been cut
    February 19 05:16 PM
  • FLCL Did you like the new ye?
    February 18 04:05 PM
  • FLCL Goddamn that album was a good way to go out. RIP
    January 27 03:44 AM
  • EvoHavok Yes, doctors responded really quickly to the event and tried their best from the very first hours, but I can't deny our medical system is lacking in many regards :(...
    November 14 07:54 AM
  • metalheadrunner Thanks The, I'm a guitarist and I'm pretty critical so it's hard to remain fully objective sometimes. I do appreciate the comment!
    November 2 05:00 PM
  • Thealwaysopenedmind Bands to listen to: Totem Skin, D/A/D, Fall of Efrafa, Spiral Architect.
    October 15 01:52 PM
  • FLCL Frayed, did you not like it? I thought it was different but still good
    October 6 02:24 PM
  • FLCL New bones ep was a good listen
    October 6 12:34 AM
  • FLCL Mac Miller's album was pretty good as well, just listened to it this morning
    September 19 03:00 PM
  • FLCL Jay rock album was solid as well
    September 17 04:20 PM
  • FLCL Check out this new Chris Travis tape if you have time
    September 15 03:17 PM
  • FLCL Garbage
    September 14 10:31 PM
  • FLCL Finally got around to listening to bones, i really dig that s***
    September 14 02:57 PM
  • Royl123 Agreed haha
    August 17 07:26 PM
  • Royl123 Thanks for understanding me. You rule man!
    August 17 07:19 PM
  • discovolante No prob!
    August 15 09:48 PM
  • discovolante You can find some of the tracks scattered on Youtube and Soundcloud. Just look up the song names on each, and you'll find most of them on both.
    August 14 12:58 AM
  • FLCL Yes, I made sure those two had not been reviewed. I'm thinking of doing a review for an older album that hasn't gotten one yet but I'm not sure yet
    August 7 03:24 PM
  • FLCL just read it man. nice work, sounded like you really knew the album, I gave it a pos. Seems I need to check out Bones though, I've never listened to him
    August 6 01:20 PM
  • Jom It wasn't your fault. Someone else pulled the news article because it turned out that they were unauthorized leaks. You would have been fine if the artist endorsed the leaks, but alas, we try to be as ethically sound as possible. Cheers!
    July 26 03:45 AM
  • hobblepot I agree! His voice is soothing and calm, which contrasts well with Jon's harsh, almost desperate harsh vocals. I like the interplay between the two, it works well haha
    July 14 08:11 AM
  • hobblepot No problem :) yeah, I joined this site cos I was hoping to get my opinion out there, and praise artists I wanted to praise, but more often than not, people on this site are just generally ignorant, self important and insensitive
    July 13 10:22 PM
  • hobblepot I know, I just don't understand why so many people on this 'professional' website are so immature about things. But thankyou, you have been mature about it
    July 13 07:19 PM
  • BlueSwan Yeah I agree lost is a weird closer they should have switched it around with another song and lost wouldn't get so much dislike :p!!
    July 9 05:28 AM
  • BlueSwan I really like lost personally because it reminds me of tides of man so does variation !!!
    July 8 07:12 PM
  • BlueSwan I'm hoping to get one more album out of them then hopefully they focus on secret band :D!!!!
    July 7 09:14 PM
  • oltnabrick https://goropsy6.bandcamp.com/album/vi-god-gave-me-one-life-and-he-made-me-ugly
    July 2 07:38 AM
  • BlueSwan Yes I completely agree my like for one vocalist isn't to far away from another, I love all 3 I won't lie :p
    June 18 11:04 PM
  • BlueSwan That's so hard.. I'd say in Dgd it would be Jonny, Kurt, Tilian but With solo projects and other bands it would be Kurt, Tilian, Jonny :p!
    June 17 09:59 PM
  • BlueSwan LMAO eating watermelon alone in the dark while intoxicated
    June 16 09:09 PM
  • BlueSwan Damn I wouldn't know what to do with myself lmao
    June 13 11:40 PM
  • BlueSwan Do you even have a local scene :l??
    June 12 01:47 AM
  • BlueSwan Man I always find that when people give them a chance they can get really into it, like fans of post hardcore and genres like that ! Like you said every album as a unique sound so they are a really approachable band, just force your friends to listen to them :p
    June 11 08:06 PM
  • BlueSwan YeAh I'm not saying acceptance speech is bad by any means some of those tracks still give me the same feelings they did when I first listened so yeah badass album agreed xD
    June 11 07:48 PM
  • BlueSwan I love it !! I think it's a step up from acceptance speech!! How do you like it :o?
    June 9 08:50 PM
  • BlueSwan I wish lol
    June 8 08:36 PM
  • discovolante Ahh I'm glad to hear that! You're very welcome!!
    June 7 10:34 PM
  • LotusFlower Yeah, except I ditched it completely because I was too ****ing stupid to exist on it.
    June 7 03:33 AM
  • discovolante Well, "Rakushu" is my favorite Kagerou album, mainly because of "XIII Dizzy". So I'd recommend that one.
    June 6 09:47 PM
  • LotusFlower ew. that devindude1 youtube channel. pretend it doesn't exist, I moved to a new channel.
    June 6 04:50 AM
  • FLCL Glad to hear it! One of my favorite tracks as well
    March 16 03:38 PM
  • FLCL It's a really bizarre album. I hope you like it
    March 12 12:55 PM
  • FLCL Haha no problem.. I love FLCL. such a fun and exciting anime
    March 11 10:01 PM
  • FLCL She's using me to fill that void
    March 10 12:53 PM
  • FLCL Idk man she's gone... Just me and mamimi now
    March 7 08:52 PM
  • Avagantamos check out a band called Agalloch
    January 22 07:25 PM
  • Avagantamos I've been checking out his stuff lately too. haven't heard that one yet though, but I've enjoyed his other stuff so far.
    December 28 06:50 PM
  • Avagantamos I wish that I did, but it's a pretty unique album. I've been getting into more drone/ambient lately so hopefully I will discover some more stuff on the same level.
    December 26 06:22 AM
  • EasyModeDX Hey I checked Yonin Bayashi man, I love Ishoku really, thanks for the rec, really enjoying it.
    September 3 05:35 PM
  • Diamondize m/
    August 7 11:07 PM
  • EasyModeDX Oh yeah, while i was surfing on sputnik I found their page. They're 70's prog, though I haven't looked at them, but they have king crimson in the similar bands section, so I guess that should be enough reason to check them out.
    July 9 01:36 PM
  • EasyModeDX I think you need to edit your profile under the forum section of the site. I know it's pretty dumb since sputnik basically has two seperate sections for the same site, and somehow when posting a comment on an album/review it gets your profile pic from the forum section.
    July 7 07:02 PM
  • EasyModeDX Yeah, currently I don't listen to The Fall of Troy at all though, but TDEP and Glassjaw change a lot throughout their discography and I'll continue to listen to their stuff regardless.
    June 20 10:18 AM
  • EasyModeDX Right, that's great, maybe you're enjoying it even more than me man, it's really good to hear that!Their past efforts are quite unrefined and that definitly makes up a bit of their charm.
    June 19 05:10 PM
  • EasyModeDX But you know, I actually kinda envy you, you were listening to Midori for the first time which was just incredible for me. I started with Aratame Hajimemas***e. It opens up with "suki" which has a dream like aura with a shoegazy mixing work, acoustic guitar, really peaceful song. And then comes Yukiko-san. My face when Goto shouts DESTUROY!!!!!!! And they go completely balls to the wall dissonant.That moment when you lose your virginity to Midori will always be the best.
    June 19 10:19 AM
  • EasyModeDX Dood, I know sharing is caring but I'm not into threesomes with another man, too gay for macho self.
    June 19 09:51 AM
  • EasyModeDX Hey buddy it's ok if you like her but dont touch her, she is mai waifu.
    June 19 02:49 AM
  • EasyModeDX No problem, anytime, I've got even more Japan music worth giving a listen if you ever grow out of those I mentioned.
    June 18 09:10 PM
  • CalculatingInfinity No problem, hope you enjoy.
    June 18 03:42 PM
  • sixdegrees np, good to see more people are interested in japanese music on here.
    June 17 04:14 PM
  • kingsoby1 maybe some day. just not having much time for it/ passion lately. listening to a ton of music though
    May 30 02:10 PM
  • Solbrave wasn't trying to put you on blast for judgment, b/c clearly you have an accepting view towards LGBT individuals, just wanted to clear it up. i've had LGBTQ friends take their own lives over feeling unwanted, so it's just a subject a little personal to me. no hard feelings?
    May 8 09:57 PM
  • sixdegrees It's one of my favorite shows :]
