marksellsuswallets: A Gift Of Paper

CompanionCube 07.17.09	i like paper
R6Rider 07.17.09	mark is that an ESP or LTD in your avatar?
marksellsuswallets 07.17.09	It's an LTD that has the exact same hardware as an ESP because I decided to not pay hundreds of extra dollars for the letters on the headstock. haha.
Waior 07.17.09	All yeah, paper, more paper. 3, you're welcome you hipster d-bag, 9 was a let-down Berzinski and Knott, 5 is and always will be brilliant and China White III is amazing. OH CONFLICTING TASTES moar china crash h and i'll check out basically everything i didn't recognize on this list. especially 8
robertsona 07.17.09	9 looks cool 6 sounds cool 5 is great i should probably get 3 and i need 4 since sigur ros is pretty cool
Waior 07.17.09	also 3 is the 3rd on your list, score
Knott- 07.17.09	really?! you don't like FACT?! genuinely stunned.
marksellsuswallets 07.17.09	I like a few things on it. It just feels way to scattered, and for the most part they just remind of what would happen if Silverstein was a decent Japanese band (and a decent Silverstein is still pretty poopty). I just feel like they need to pull some stuff together rather than trying to be too many things at once.
robertsona 07.17.09	btw i meant 2* when i said i should probably get 3
Knott- 07.17.09	I do have a tendency to enjoy music in that vein.. kinda like how i think Johnny Foreigner are better than Los Campesinos! simply by virtue of their scattered nature. Still, I think they mesh the totally crazy sounds well. Each to their own, I guess. You're the first person I've spoken to that didn't enjoy it :o
KILL 07.17.09	yea esp is a rip
marksellsuswallets 07.17.09	^exactly To be honest I didn't find anything that I heard to be "totally crazy". I mean there were a few catchy/enjoyable moments, but overall it just left me feeling very underwhelmed.
bloc 07.18.09	9 is fuckin beast! props on having an ltd over the esp. fuck esp.
marksellsuswallets 07.18.09	Ok I'll be honest...A Fact of Life is growing on me...I still don't think it's going to turn out to be an amazing, or even "awesome" album though.
PanasonicYouth 07.18.09	7 is probably album of the year for me
TheNewWhack 07.18.09	I'm glad to see it's growing on you a bit. FACT might have tried to cover too many bases with their debut... But they pull it off so well, imo. Give it time Caleb. It might grow on you as well.
TheNewWhack 07.18.09	"Los Angels" is a monster of Post Hardcore... So is "Snow." 9 is in my top 10 of 2009.
marksellsuswallets 07.18.09	I just feel like if they threw all of those things together and focused them into a coherent sound it would work out better than them having different songs scattered around like that. The vocal processing bothers me a little too.
bloc 07.18.09	love Los Angeles. One of my fav songs off it.
ScorpionStan 07.18.09	2 & 5 rule hard
TheNewWhack 07.18.09	I understand. The album isn't really cohesive right off the bat. It takes more than a few listens to get it. Normally I hate tuned vocals but for these guys it seams to fit. Without it, it would be Harry Potter minus the magic.
Piglet 07.18.09	i'm gonna get 2... definately
marksellsuswallets 07.18.09	Definitely get 2. Definitely I don't really think that they're "tuned" all that much. It's just I keep picking up on so many odd delays, reverbs, phases, flanges, and random other effects and at times it's a little bit obnoxious.
TheNewWhack 07.18.09	Agreed bloc... That track is beautiful. EVERYTHING was done right. That's rare for the genre.
marksellsuswallets 07.18.09	I heard something about "stars falling down" and I turned off the track haha. I guess I'll listn to the whole thing though.
TheNewWhack 07.18.09	These guys are from Japan... Look past the cheese.
bloc 07.18.09	haha, it's not "stars", it's "stones."
