TheNotrap: Notrap's Week Jams

TheNotrap 03.31.12	Koloss, Utilitarian and The Electric Age were probably my most enjoyable week jams. Yours?
JamieTwort 03.31.12	Nice list dude. A couple of my first-time jams from this week: Anacrusis - Reason and Suffering Hour Thought Industry - Songs For Insects and Mods Carve the Pig
TheNotrap 03.31.12	Thanks JT, if you wish check The Electric Age, their best since Horrorscope IMO. If you don't know Wiped Out don't miss it. Riff you need to feed your love for Utilitarian.
JamieTwort 03.31.12	Yeah I definitely need to check out The Electric Age. I think I've listened to Wiped Out a long time ago, I need to listen to it again.
TheNotrap 03.31.12	btw I had Suffering Hour on vinyl, cool stuff specially Present Tense.
Voivod 03.31.12	@ TheNotrap You should really reconsider about 15, it is a landmark in '90s power/prog metal
TheNotrap 03.31.12	Well it has some cool moments, but it's far from being a power/prog landmark in my humble opinion. Their best period is between The Hall Of The Mountain King and Edge Of Thorns.
Jethro42 03.31.12	5 kicks major ass. I currently enjoy Crippled Black Phoenix a lot. It's a modern space rock band with evident Pink Floyd influence, not in a rip off way. Band is my new drug. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqQ4oj-9XuI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSg917RuF_k
MO 03.31.12	good stuff notrap
rockandmetaljunkie 03.31.12	Well it's been a busy week...
JamieTwort 03.31.12	Fuck yeah Jethro, CBP rule. Pretty sure Notrap would dig 'em.
KjSwantko 03.31.12	Koloss Evergrey - The Inner Circle Death - Human Michael Lee Firkins - Black Light Sonatas Type O Negative - Life is Killing Me
tarkus 03.31.12	i really dig 4 i progged all week, gonna keep proggin
TheNotrap 03.31.12	@Jethro Cheers bud. Neal Morse's jamming it's your fault ;) Very interesting album indeed. Will check those link gems right now. @MetallicOpeth Thanks man. Btw what's your thoughts about Koloss? I never was a fan but their last blew me away. Tomas Haake is a terrific drummer. @Rock I listen to music at work. Also my drive from home to the office takes 1h, so....jamming all the time. I'm addicted to music... @KJ Some great jammings. Need to check that Michael Lee Firkins album. Keep proggin Tarkus. Monotheist was my friday jam...Was really impressed, great album. My favourite track at the moment is Obscured http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOgn8wYG3Fs If you guys don't know this song check it now. Amazing stuff, listen LOUDDDD.
Jethro42 03.31.12	P/ hard, tarkus. I invite you to try Karmakanic - Wheel of Life.
TheNotrap 03.31.12	Hey I'm listening Crippled Black Phoenix - Troublemaker Very cool stuff indeed. Floyd oriented songwriting, so great stuff ;-)
TheNotrap 03.31.12	I, Vigilante is their best?
RunOfTheMill 03.31.12	I haven't heard any of these. Fuck. I had totally forgotten Unisonic was out already.
TheNotrap 03.31.12	^ Yeah Unisonic's debut is cool. "Souls Alive" at the moment is my favourite track. I know you love classic metal, so don't miss Raven's Wiped Out. If you wish check also Samson's Head On (the first Bruce Dickinson band). Essential NWOBHM stuff.
rockandmetaljunkie 03.31.12	"I listen to music at work." lol are you working on a music magazine or are you a music journalist ? What kind of employment is it that you are allowed to listen to music while working ? :-P
TheNotrap 03.31.12	Hahaha I work on Marketing and Advertising. Everybody is allowed to listen to music and I own the playlist ;-)
rockandmetaljunkie 03.31.12	ok man rock on
Jethro42 03.31.12	''I, Vigilante is their best?'' I can't decide on which is better between The Crafty Ape and I, Vigilante. Both are essential stuff. 200 Tons of Badluck is not far behind. Don't miss them all.
JamieTwort 03.31.12	The Crafty Ape is one of my favourite albums of the year so far.
KjSwantko 03.31.12	A Change of Seasons kicks ass, definitely DT's best piece.
TheNotrap 03.31.12	@Jethro&JT Will check their stuff, I really enjoyed those 2 songs. @KJ Yeah, definitely one of their best moments. Home and Metropolis - Part One remain my favourite songs though. If you wish, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOgn8wYG3Fs And tell me what you think
Jethro42 03.31.12	Same here, JT. I'm jamming on it atm. @Notrap; I'd prolly start with I, Vigilante which is easier to approach. The Crafty Apes needs couple of spins to fully appreciate, and trust me, it paids off.
TheNotrap 03.31.12	^ For what I've heard their music is very accessible and catchy. I trust your word, will start with I, Vigilante I believe their some kind of a UK supergroup, right? With drastic line-up changes between albums....I hope they have a strong identity despite that.
Turtlestlker 03.31.12	Septic Flesh - Communion Aborted-Global Flatline Meshuggah-Koloss lots of this
Jethro42 03.31.12	@Notrap; I don't have any infos about the band's origins yet, but I can assure you that both these 3 albums have the same spirit. The Crafty Ape stands out cos it's a monster of album with its 3 chapters to swallow. There's a lot to digest on that one but it's so eargasmic ultimately! It's more like space rock tinted with blues/psychedelic leanings, and definitely more jam-style, adventurous and versatile than the other ones which are a tad more accessible. Better and better with each listens.
