Keyblade
05.30.12 | What kind of recs you looking for man? |
stabbler
05.30.12 | "I have 2000 albums"
5 are legal |
SlowlyFallingAwake
05.30.12 | Only 100? Yeah, sorry bro but I'm still attending college, so I don't have the cash to buy loads of albums just yet. And seeing as I've only started collecting some 3 years ago, I consider 100 albums a nice collection already.
Worst username? Didn't think so. RiffOClock's not the fanciest username either, hope you're aware of that.
100 legal, prob 400 more in my digital library.
"What kind of recs?" Just really good records, can be any genre, but based on some of this stuff. Alt. Rock / stuff à la Brand New / deep and emotive albums preferably. As I mentionned, really digging Moving Mountains, Modest Mouse and such lately, so maybe something in that direction. |
Storm In A Teacup
05.30.12 | You need to get Biffy Clyro albums, the newest Deftones and Foo Fighters. You'll like all of them. |
CrimsonFloyd
05.30.12 | I decomend disturbed and linkin park |
SlowlyFallingAwake
05.30.12 | Thanks Storm in a Teacup, will give them a spin!
CrimsonFloyd, these bands are pure nostalgia-evokers, I don't listen to them that much anymore. |
Keyblade
05.30.12 | Check out The National, Circa Survive, Immanu El, and Porcupine Tree. Completely random but you'll probably like 'em. |
benkim
05.30.12 | Can you please sell me 1 for free? I consider that album a masterpiece but am broke as hell. |
CrimsonFloyd
05.30.12 | He already listens to porcupine tree man |
SlowlyFallingAwake
05.30.12 | You can never listen to enough Porcupine! Guess I'll check out the rest of their albums.
I like the National, just not enough to buy an album... Listened to High Violet last year.
Maybe wrong album for me?
Just downloaded Circa Survive, Immanu El is next on the list. Tx Keyblade.
Benkim, nope sorry. It's close to heart, that album, and my username actually comes from the hidden song 'Slowly Falling Awake' on that same album. |
omnipanzer
05.30.12 | Needz moar Jamiroquai
but less Dynamite |
ThroneOfAgony
05.30.12 | You don't need to write up a novel responding to other people, dude
But pretty nice collection. I might do the same once I finish downloading a lot of new stuff. |
benkim
05.30.12 | How about you get yourself some Isis records? Panopticon is pretty much the greatest album ever made. |
SlowlyFallingAwake
05.30.12 | You think so Omnipanzer? I bought Synchronized too (can't find the album for the life of me) but wasn't too impressed with it. @ThroneOfAgony I just like to answer elaborately on other people's comments, seeing as it's a means of improving my english. I'm a native speaker of dutch after all. Thanks for the compliment. I know a lot of people just download and burn songs but I'm a sucker for physical copies, just feels more real. Also, I appreciate artwork a lot.
Isis? From what I know, they ressemble Neurosis, right? Progressive, darker metal? The kind of band that influenced Tool (amongst others). It sure gets high ratings on Sputnik. |
benkim
05.30.12 | Yep that Isis. But am not too sure about the influencing Tool part. |
omnipanzer
05.30.12 | "You think so Omnipanzer?"
Absolutely, if jazz-funk/acid-jazz is your thing
Emergency traveling and cowboy (first three) are all tremendous.
Try "The Return Of The Space Cowboy" next.
I personally like Synchronized too but it isn't as good as those first three and Dynamite is a disappointment in general. You've literally gotten the wrong albums imho. |
omnipanzer
05.30.12 | "RiffOClock's not the fanciest username either, hope you're aware of that."
but he has a huge member. |
Dashy
05.30.12 | Not sure what you are looking for so I'll just rec you a bunch of random stuff.
American Football - American Football

Botch - We Are The Romans
Converge - Jane Doe

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis
Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me
Fun. - Aim And Ignite
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Misery Signals - Controller

Panacea - 12 Step Program (Any album with a 4 rating or higher)
Torche - Harmonicraft
Devin Townsend - Anything He has Recorded
Your username is not bad. Ignore them. |
stabbler
05.30.12 | yeah when i think of progressive darker metal i don't really think of isis |
Weesnaw
05.30.12 | based on the artists you already have:
arcade fire - funeral
foo fighters - the colour and the shape
porcupine tree - in absentia
radiohead - the bends
red hot chii peppers - blood sugar sex magik
also smash by the offspring is pretty good if you ever want to get a whole album by them, it's the
only one i really like from them though |
SlowlyFallingAwake
05.30.12 | Probably confusing Neurosis with Isis here. Neurosis is said to be one of Tool's influences, or so I've heard.
|
WeepingBanana
05.30.12 | i'm still confused as to why you have a 100 album limit...
and 30 seconds to mars are the worst band ever and you're retarded if you like them. and why would you put the Red album on this list if you said you already bought the Blue album? do you want people to hate you? |
ApplicationToHeaven
05.30.12 | wow 100+ impressive |
SlowlyFallingAwake
05.31.12 | Limit might be a bad word, I meant to say I've broken the 100-album boundary, which kind of surprised me.
30stm is not the worst band ever. And if you think so, why don't you go listen to some Aiden or Bieber or sth? Whatever happened to 'to each their own'? Their self-titled is, at least, different from most albums in terms of atmosphere. And it's not the type of record to play all the time but it's not bad by any means.
Just mentioned that I have the blue one as well, as a fact. Why would I want people to hate me, it's my first big post in here... Both get more than favourable reviews so I don't think I'll be hated.
@ ApplicationToHeaven being sarcastic or serious? If the latter is true, thanks. |
SlowlyFallingAwake
01.28.13 | Some of your recs were truly enlightening. Especially Isis, Radiohead, Converge, The Dear Hunter. Digging Circa Survive and Mars Volta too lately. I've actually bought almost the entire discography of Radiohead, missing just 1 album. It's amazing how much bashing is going on in this thread though, kind of hilarious actually. I agree on the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I wasn't expecting so much elitism. |
