HOLY SHIT. You are the only other person that I know now that listens to Opeth. I found their DVD a while back at Hot Topic for like $9.99! I cannot really get into their vocals on the heavier material, IMO. But, they are some of the most talented & technical musicians I have ever heard.

*edit* I only have Damnation, btw.

At first I couldn't swallow the hard vocals either. Buy Blackwater Park. Listen to it until you're numb to the vocals, then repeat. It sounds crazy, but I swear to you, you will never go back. You know how you first tried beer, or coffee, or anything else that's an acquired taste? It was nasty! But over time, it's delicious, and you don't know how you lived without it. This is the same thing. Blackwater park is the initiation, and most accessible growling record they've made IMO. After this, goto My Arms Yor hears...... Ooooh maaaaaan.... It gets no better.

[Zen Acolyte]

All right, I take your word. Take mine & go listen to Staple. You won't be dissapointed. They are a heavy Christian band, but if you didn't know this you would not have any idea. I say them play in Dallas & felt like I had gotten my ass kicked after the show was over.

You're bringing tears to my eyes brotha. I mean no offense, but anything in the ballpark of "christian" makes me cringe.

There's a christian metal band you may be into from the 80's that recent had a reunion I believe, you should check them out. They were called "STRYPER".

Dude, do you listen to Megadeth at all? If for some reason you decide to go on another metal binge you should check out the Rust In Peace album.

[Kahlo]

I managed to check out their last performance at the Download festival in England, and as good as Rust in Peace is they went out with a bit of a whimper... they are not good live.

I heard they used to be awesome live, back in the 80's/early 90's. I don't really like the new stuff, The System Has Failed, or whatever it was called.

I've been listening to that album a lot recently, it's ok, I'd give it a 6 out of 10 but I am getting more and more into the Smiths.

The best songs IMO:

1. billy corgan : the future embrace
(never thought i'd love this - but it's amazing)

ummm, no.

They are a really 'tight' sounding band both live and studio. I was talkign more about the music itself rather than the singing. Vocals on the quiet material are nice, just on the loud it's ....ugh, why am I justifing this to you.

So no, I haven't heard Megadeth yet, but I certainly plan on checking them out.

Nevermind, yousendit is being gay.

I'll send you the tracks via email if you want though.

[Dressed for the H-Bomb]

My favorite CDs of the moment are
1. Architeture in Helsinki-In Case We Die
fucking beutiful pop, 'nuff said
2. Clap you hands say Yeah
good 'ol indie muic
3. Of Montreal-Sunlandic Twins
I want to make love like a pair of black wizards:(
I just saw them live a week or so ago, still one of the best liev acts I've seen, up there with Arcade Fire
4. Animal Collecitve-Sung Tongs
I love this CD, its one of only a handful of CDs I've grown emotional attached to.
5.Xiu Xiu-Knife Play
I'd assumed the first CD would of been his most experimental, but it's grown to be my favorite.

[sandalwood]

I just went on a huge CD binge with all my summer earnings.
1. Sufjan Stevens: Illinois
2. Air: Talkie Walkie
3. Stephen Malkmus: Face the Truth
4. Sleater-Kinny: The Woods
5. Archer Prewitt: Wilderness

With my remaining money i bought the Arcade Fire EP, the Donnie Darko Sdtk, and the newest White Stripes album, which is absolutely bitchin' for the first 7 tracks and loses its steam IMO.

[(.)Ions]

1. Elliott Smith - XO
2. Forget Cassettes - Instruments of Action
3. Doves - The Last Broadcast
4. The Fire Theft - Self-Titled
5. Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy

2.Soulfly: Primitive
3.Tenacious D: Tenacious D
4.Neil Young: Greastest hits
5.Snow patrol: Final straw


Like it or lump it

Those are them alright. The contract wasn't part of their prize though Epic came knocking a bit later - They're not signed to them anymore though, and Cory and dominic (Guitarist and Drummer respectively), are not in the band now.


Interestingly, Flickerstick the only band off that show that's still together if I'm right - Soulcracker and Josh Dodes Band fell apart, have no idea what happened to Harlow.

Anyway, Tarantula is brilliant - Less Poppy than "Welcoming Home the Astronauts"

[daisydaisydaisy]

1. Swans - Children Of God
2. Swans - Various Failures
3. Foxy Shazam - The Flamingo Trigger
4. Lords - Swords
5. Stone Temple Pilots - Core (it's not as bad as I remembered it..)
