 | Rowan5215 ya Sickness is the clear highlight and the only one I'd actually put on the album probably. Sacrifice has such a good riff but the lyrics are not good lmao
|
| Rowan5215 there's some blood hair and eyeballs b-sides floating around brother eye emoji
|
 | Hawks Gonna jam that Make Them Suffer album now cause yeah Neverbloom ripz. Palm Reader also looks sick!
|
| Hawks In a core mood tonight gimme a few recs u think I'd dig bro.
|
 | Sunnyvale No set time frame, but if you could have it by the end of the month that would be awesome!
|
| Sunnyvale Hi onionbubs! Any interest in writing up a short blurb for the Peter Gabriel album which won December's release of the month? If so, just shoutbox me the Google Docs link once ready. Let me know, thanks!
|
 | ThyCrossAwaits Sweet! Cheers mate. I also just listened to In Utero for the first time all the way through the other day, I feel like I spent so much time digging for weird metal that I missed some more obvious bands hahaha.
|
| ThyCrossAwaits So I?ve never really listened to Alkaline Trio like, ever. Is the new one a good one to start with?
|
 | onionbubs why thank you bubs right back at ya you king
|
 | Slex Slsk Wrens Album 4.5 demos
|
| Rowan5215 try the wrens thread on chorus lol that's where i found it
|
 | Ryus yeah its interesting to hear, wilder was like ?we gotta make this an uptempo banger? and he was very right
|
| Ryus sweeet. that demo seems like its kinda the exception actually, i think most of them were more well-developed and some of them sound pretty similar to the studio versions but still it seems like alan did contribute a lot
|
| Ryus lol i figured out wtf alan wilder does in depeche mode. so basically martin would write the demos, and then alan was the arranger so in a way hes kinda the second-pass songwriter and as a result had a ton of influence on their sound. idk if uve heard this but heres a martin demo for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRyDzc4FF0E
|
 | bellovddd awesome to hear!! jarreds always been a beast.
|
| bellovddd YOOO i remember you were seeing Blessthefall live... how were they if you did see em???
|
 | twlight It's definitely my favorite IA song with their new singer. I've been quite the critic of the new vocalist but he absolutely kills the new song
|
| twlight hey bub, it's wild that the new IA single wasnt included on the album...its titled Heavener...
|
 | nash1311 Where should I start with Ling Tosite
|
 | pizzamachine Aight what did you like what needed improvements
|
| pizzamachine Hmm okay it?s more like MySpace party time goes hard
|
| pizzamachine My music is like 100 Gecs on crack you?ll like it
|
 | SmashIsTheWay94 Chronological isn't a bad idea. They're the kind of band where it's really interesting to see how they evolved over time. Just be prepared for the early stuff (especially Garlands) to be pretty different from HOLV. I'd say either chronological or knock out Treasure next
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 Love's Easy Tears, Aikea-Guinea, Spangle Maker, and Sunburst and Snowblind are all great. Band really has one of the most consistent discogs there is. But tbh there are several EPs I still haven't checked because there are so god damn many lol. But I think on those later ones there's quite a bit of overlap with the LPs
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 Well definitely nothing wrong with spending more time with that masterpiece before moving on, but you're in for a treat with the rest of their stuff too. Like I'm kinda jealous that you get to hear Lazy Calm for the first time lol. Some of their EPs are pretty essential too
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 Dude sick Heaven or Las Vegas rating. Your only Cocteau Twins so far?
|
| Rowan5215 get out of cities is easily the dumbest addition I made lmao but it's a bit of fun in a pretty dark album I think. reminds me of Bugman and BLUREMI a bit
|
| Rowan5215 Dancehall is so good, take off the vocals and it's basically doom lmao. think it sets up Essex Dogs well, comes outta nowhere vibes wise on the album
|
| Rowan5215 it's so good! they played it live recently which makes me think they eventually realised how good it is
|
| Rowan5215 lol ty bubs. some great b-sides in that era, last few even presage the s-t sound a bit which is wild, it's such a jarring transition otherwise. as for s-t I played around with it a lot but finally found one I liked. will pop in the thread for ya
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell nice parkspam um HI thank you so much for expressing interest in Sputmix 2023! There is one (one!) bureaucracy barrier for you to overcome - please hit up this form and send your info over asap, so I can get a database going and pin down what this thing is gonna look like. Love! https://forms.gle/zkKtidhnXpgYUsUv5

 | parksungjoon The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheelAnd the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicidesAnd a dark wind blowsThe government is corruptAnd we're on so many drugsWith the radio on and the curtains drawnWe're trapped in the belly of this horrible machineAnd the machine is bleeding to deathThe sun has fallen downAnd the billboards are all leeringAnd the flags are all dead at the top of their polesIt went like this:The buildings toppled in on themselvesMothers clutching babiesPicked through the rubbleAnd pulled out their hairThe skyline was beautiful on fireAll twisted metal stretching upwardsEverything washed in a thin orange hazeI said, "Kiss me, you're beautifulThese are truly the last days"You grabbed my handAnd we fell into itLike a daydreamOr a feverWe woke up one morning and fell a little further downFor sure as the valley of deathI open up my walletAnd it's full of blood
|
| nash1311 I don?t know if I?ve ever posted in your s***box so here I am. Cheers to good taste brother
|
| Rowan5215 yeah not a huge fan of Auctioneer or Wendell Gee which does mark Fables down a tiny bit. also tend to skip Give it Away though tbf which is one of the least interesting songs on the first 4 albums for me. Green and Document both feel like EPs padded out to full album length to me lol, if you combined them into one you'd have a pretty great album probably. Green especially is just all over the place and not in a fun way
|
| Rowan5215 yea Document is the easy worst lol. just outside my bottom 3 REM albums honestly, Around the Sun and Green are definitely the bottom 2. Fables might actually be my favourite album from the IRS era depending on my mood, it and Pageant are dead even
|
| Rowan5215 fair. Monster is so ugly sounding I kinda struggle with it even sober lmao, but I do get that's kinda the point of it. Fables on the other hand sounds like it'd be incredible high, god I love the whole Southern Gothic dreamy blur feel of that album so much. crazy underrated
|
| Rowan5215 that sounds pretty great ngl. the one time i did it was at a wild NYE party after a lotta drinking and it was less than optimal lmao. chillin to REM sounds perfect as long as it's not Monster lol
|
| Rowan5215 lol nice, I hope you didn?t jam Young Fathers on acid either cos that sounds absolutely terrifying lmao. i also don't know much about film tbh i just watch what looks fun
|
| Rowan5215 lol only reason i call it that is because it's the first song i and a lot of others heard from. has a pretty prominent placement on the Trainspotting 2 soundtrack which is a hella underrated movie ftr. killer song though the last 20 seconds of it always get me
|
| Rowan5215 hell yeah dude I love to hear it. def the kinda discog that just sinks its claws in over time, never realised I was a fan until it was too late. gonna be basic af and say Dare Me or the whole 27 - Sirens run but it all rules. the bonus track Soon Come Soon is also lovely, worth tracking down
|
 | Get Low nevermind i was able to find my way to the kingdomleaks discord lol
|
| Get Low How do I go about finding and downloading the Novelists album leak? I don't know s*** about leaks.
|
 | g40st https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPgOctu6qlc
|
 | Purpl3Spartan Yeah for sure, I definitely didn?t appreciate what they were doing the first time I heard them, but they?ve grown into one of my favorite bands.
|
| Purpl3Spartan Oi, you ever checked paledusk? They used to be an average progcore band but since 2019 they found their own style and have been releasing slappers since.
|
 | Wildcardbitchesss lol I?ve watched it like 7 times man. You?ll pick up a lot more stuff on rewatch, the show is so layered.
|
| Wildcardbitchesss Man you?re in for a ride with the leftovers last two seasons.S1 is tame compared to what follows.
|
 | Groundking Yeh I'm probs not gonna give the og that many spins either tbh
|
| Purpl3Spartan I totally agree! It's such a cool concept and such a bummer that it never really caught on but I guess it makes this all the more special. I catch myself hearing things in the songs and I'm like "damn that's low key proggy" lol. Sadly, we prob will never get a 3rd cd. I'd also pay big money if a live set was engineered or something.
|
| Purpl3Spartan I think harmonic voltage was my overall favorite growing up because of those silky melodies but I'm now appreciating a lot of the more complex videos like pogo sticks and resonant chamber. The pipe dreams are always a favorite too tho because they're pipe dream
|
| Purpl3Spartan Heck yeah man that's the good stuff. Been on a nostlagia binge the last couple days.
|
 | JayEnder Saved the link and I'm loving the changes you made dude. The quality is way better than Spotify too. I gotta remove your first shout tho cause it totally wacked out my page and the link is outside of the box lmao. Just a heads up so you don't think I'm a douche hah
|
| JayEnder Duuude hell yes! You're the man for putting that together. Gonna jam the makeshift album til the full length next year. Glad you bumped your score and you're getting into them.
|
 | Feather hmmmm... I may have actually seen them live before then. I was at a tour ~2017 with La Dispute and Thrice.
|
| Feather I had never heard of gates. They really seem to be flying under the radar.
|
 | Storm In A Teacup all onions in the united states have been recalled, how do you respond to this controversy?
|
| twlight Word, few couple songs are decent but when they get into "Daughter" off of transit blues... Woah that song is heavy!
|
| twlight If you get through the first cover song they dive into transit blues stiff...and it slaps
|
| twlight https://youtu.be/AAxvsX_wdfoDWP audiotree session. It's pretty cool
|
 | ArsMoriendi Do you like Of Montreal? I adore their album Satanic Panic in the Attic. I think you'd also like it. It's neo-psych that's sort of Beatley, but also more modern and original in its own right.
|
| Feather Good luck ... everything kinda fell off a cliff again after the White album.
|
| Feather I was gunna rec you some more modern weezer based on your comment in the news thread but you literally have every one of their albums rated lol
|
 | Pikazilla song goes v hard, it's on youtube def check it
|
| Pikazilla no woz, mateliterally, the only song I'm missing by them is midwestern stylings
|
| Pikazilla bitch i saw you download music off me on slsk today
|
| Storm In A Teacup check out my new review i think you'll like the band! a lot of great post hardcore elemnts bubsy!
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 I see you already bumped it to a 4.5 so that's cool lol. those are all real good picks, apathy has pretty much always been my fav PTW song
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 their progression is pretty awesome. it's crazy how just from OOD to YCBY they almost sound like a different band, and their last two albums bring a different vibe as well. what are some of your faves from YCBY so far
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 those are some pretty dope poison the well ratings. I'm guessing you haven't gotten to the tropic rot yet but that one kills too
|
 | DaHound Every time i die the chariot hums ulver
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 cool. the heart is a monster is actually my second fav from them, which is probably a weird pick for 2nd best lol. but magnified and in the future are pretty cool too
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 yeah awesome stuff. you ever check out anything else from Failure? I mean FP is easily my favorite but their other stuff is worth checking, aside from their debut I guess
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 I've gotta spend more time with Downward but it's real good too, as is the new one. but Astronaut is my clear fav at least for now largely cuz of I Hate it Too. god I love that song. but yeah I wasn't far ahead of you, I hadn't heard of them until I got into Failure (specifically Fantastic Planet) a few months back
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 Hey man nice Hum rating. I'm guessing the new album hype is what got you to check them out? Weirdly enough I first listened to them like a month ago and then they drop their first album in 22 years lol
|
| JohnnyoftheWell oh **** sorry, forgot to clarify the timeframe - any chance you could get that blurb done in the next couple of days?
|
| JohnnyoftheWell yes please if you're down!! 950 characters max, and can be whatever style you like!!
|
| JohnnyoftheWell o n i o n b u b s hello, are you down to write a few words on Blue Sky Noise for the users AOTD lists?
|
 | Lucman I totally get that. I love Elsie but it's his more uptempo stuff that I'm more drawn too (Forget Me Not, Wonderful Life, Behold the Hurricane) so this just feels a little dull to me. Def gonna give it another few spins though.
|
| Lucman I wish I loved the new Brian Fallon as much as you do. Three listens in and nothing is connecting with me outside of the lead single.
|
| Lucman Though Handwritten has been growing on me a lot lately too.
|
| Lucman Same here actually. 59 Sound is fantastic but Elsie and his solo records are where his peak songwriting is. Has all the wistfulness and catchy melodies I love about the man's music.
|
| Lucman He warms mine too, brother :)
|
 | AsleepInTheBack Glad to hear it. Stick with it and it'll sink it's hooks into you.
|
| AsleepInTheBack Mr bubs, have you listened to the new Stuck Out Here yet? if not, get on that s***
|
 | SlothcoreSam Yup, the t/t is great, the way Make No Mistake starts after the opener is sweet. The album has so many styles, I've listened 3 times, and every time a different song stands out. Also check Stuck Out Here- Until We're Each Someone Else. Especially the track Saint and Sinner's Wine, probably my SOTY at the moment.
|
| SlothcoreSam I stumbled across Make No Mistake on my 2019 playlist, and thought that sounded cool, so proceeded to check the rest of the album, it's pretty diverse.
|
| SlothcoreSam Hey, check Devon Kay and the Solutions- Yes I Can't. It's like a cross between McCafferty and Say Anything, but with some trumpets thrown in.
|
 | Drifter You disappoint me more than you could possibly believe
|
| Drifter Lmaooooooo idk about that. I'm just proud you've got a west coast record rated so high. Now listen to 2pack
|
| Drifter This dude really has famous cryp 4.5d lmfao
|
| Drifter Lol nah I didnt see that. Haven't been on discord in forever. Rip. I'll tell you what I said in order. Actually I guess it was only one really: Dude I don't really listen to the genre much Kiss the Bottle by Jawbreaker might be the best pxhc song. I'm boutta get into them hard m/
|
| Drifter Dude have you not been getting my texts lol. I feel neglected ):::::
|
| Drifter Dude Stay The Night is a banger. Came up in a shuffle earlier and I forgot how good it is
|
 | WatchItExplode It occurs to me that you would dig the new dinosaur pile up album if you haven't had that show up on your radar yet
|
 | butt. Where did you find it on reddit?
|
| butt. my stupid ****in cheapo record player apparently doesn't handle 7" records very well...so it skips and sounds like s***. Thankfully my roommate's sounds great. Want me to use his and just record it with my phone tonight?
|
| Drifter The bands in your recent rates are emo doe right? You are making a mistake by not checking. Just sayn
|
| Drifter still waiting for you to listen to Kolya. Nosferatu D2 too. You're lacking bub
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 sweet dude I hope you do cuz they're incredible. seeing how they evolved throughout their career is really cool. let me know what you think!
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 yea I just ask because I went on a big Fugazi binge recently and wanted to talk to someone about them lol. The Argument rules hard along with their entire discography. one of the most consistent bands ever, but Red Medicine is my fav
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 eh life is always a bit tedious so that's ok. and not to sound like an old man, since I'm not that much older than you lol, but you're young and you've got time to figure out your future. random question: you ever jam Fugazi?
|
 | Satellite i was definitely more of a brendan fan when i first got into them. pretty sure cocktails and dreams was the first album where i really appreciated what chris was bringing to the table. "four one five two" is probably my favorite tla side album, which is saying a lot.
|
| Satellite definitely. probably my favorite band to catch live. when i first turned 21 i went and saw chris play his first show under the sundowner moniker. it was amazing. i got way too drunk and me and my gf played foosball with chris and neil afterwards. they destroyed us. i recorded a couple songs and put them on youtube (here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LX4T2XqQcY). holy s*** that was 11 yrs ago.
|
| Satellite lol the ampersand cut off the rest of my comment but you got the gist of it. i'll give it a shot.
|
| Satellite just realized that there's a brendan kelly
|
| Drifter Your Blueface 4.5 is your best rating tbh
|
 | veninblazer yeah i was like "l a dis pool ute? huh?" then i really started thinking.
|
| veninblazer it took a while for me to realize the name you put in the real name section was referencing La Dispute
|
| Drifter Nice American football soundoff lolololol
|
 | MarsKid You sure man? Would hate for you to miss out
|
| MarsKid Deadline extended to Wednesday night. Make sure to get in your album!
|
| MarsKid The game is on! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=184513
|
 | SymbolicInTime Shiiiit I?ll have to spin that. Still have to hear My Shame too. Then I?ll have all of their lps rated
|
 | seinfeldreruns Dude seriously?? A 2.5 for Belmont... its at least a three.
|
| Rowan5215 was just thinkin about that the other day but haven't time to sit down with em yet, I know that four-song run on Crow would be cut for Pantomime and Monuments, and Love Hurts, Oil, Diamonds would be cut for Punch Drunk and Look Alive. not sure how the actual order would work out yet for either
|
 | Snake. they did a pretty good job covering REM tho
|
| Snake. when are you gonna check grandview
|
| Snake. will toledo is a hardcore furry
|
| Snake. i was gonna say do you have some sort of vendetta towards furries or
|
| Snake. yo wtf those CSH ratings are wack
|
 | oisincoleman64 S/t is a close second for me, right behind Real Boy, this one might be better than In Defense imo
|
 | ZombieToyDuck I'd love to soon, my plates a bit full tbh haha I gotta make Joyce Manor's discog my priority atm cause my fiance got us tickets to see them next week so I'm cramming them atm
|
| SymbolicInTime I?ll give Crimson another shot eventually. But sweet man I?ll give those other ones I spin too!
|
| SymbolicInTime Okay got my opinion on the two Alkaline albums you rec?d. Good Mourning has some massive highlights like This Could Be Love, Continental, and Every Thug Needs a Lady. Overall liked it a tad less than ITTC. But I didn?t vibe with Crimson much. Really didn?t enjoy the musical direction they took. It wasn?t a bad listen by any means, it was still pleasant to listen to. Just not something I want out of Alkaline, I guess. There weren?t any highlights on there for me, other than the opener
|
| ZombieToyDuck oh man you gotta check vessel and all of regional man, those are so killer.
|
| ZombieToyDuck Nice man, I'm looking forward to Trench singles have been pretty great. You hear their old stuff pre Blurryface?
|
| ZombieToyDuck Oh nice! You take it on then dude haha im already swamped anyhow and it would have been a stretch to write one up.
|
| ZombieToyDuck I'm tempted to review that Dirty Nil album... it needs more attention
|
| ZombieToyDuck Thanks dude, I'm loving it so far. I may end up bumping it down to 4 but it still owns.
|
| ZombieToyDuck That's true, I have yet to jam Thrice. I have one of their albums on my post hardcore journey list though
|
| ZombieToyDuck sweet dude, don't know how it hasn't gotten any attention on here yet
|
| ZombieToyDuck Yeah when you asked about sound it was pretty hard to place cause there's a blend of genres with an overall classic rock vibe to it. Yeah Please, Please Me is probably my favorite on it! The horns near the end were sick too.
|
| ZombieToyDuck ahh I love me some classic rock so I wasnt bothered haha but glad you're diggin it man!
|
| ZombieToyDuck that's just my closest, there's definitely a fair bit of difference that they separate their sound
|
| ZombieToyDuck It's like weezer with more energetic and varied vocals and the instrumentation is a bit more proficient imo.
|
| ZombieToyDuck Yo you check the new The Dirty Nil? If not give it a go bud, I think you'd dig it!
|
| SymbolicInTime Saved to my Spotify listening batch. I?ll let you know what I think when I get to those! I?ve been perpetually stuck on the new The Story So Far since it dropped haha
|
| Drifter Why the 1.5 for kamikaze ?????
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 Right and stomach is like nothing they've ever done. It's a genuinely disturbing song tbh
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 ok so In My Stomach might be the darkest song the band has ever made. wow. I liked all of the A
|
| Rowan5215 Do You Wanna Know goes down between Lost and Ruin It, Burned is the House instead of Live Young, In My Stomach after Into the Night. also did you ask if I've checked the larry arms because I haven't
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 I prob can't agree with that since a couple other emo openers are among like my favorite songs ever lol, but those are both great yeah. unfinished and the closer were other standouts on my first couple spins
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 Yea I wish I was a naturally gifted lyricist. Btw Endserenading is fantastic. I should have checked Mineral much sooner
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 I mean I guess you're bound to hear me about the people who write their best s*** when they're depressed, but yea I'm sure there are plenty of cases where depression has the opposite effect and makes it hard to get anything done. do you write lyrics then?
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 that's awesome. would love to hear your original stuff when it comes out
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 Lol that's not bad though. Pretty sure none of my friends listen to the same kind of music as me which kinda sucks
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 I hope things start looking up for you man. sometimes Idk what I'd do without music in general tbh
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 damn man I'm sorry to hear that. that's really rough, but I'm glad you have the trio to help pull you through I guess lol. depression ****in sucks tho for real
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 Sounds like me when my sr year rolled around haha. I'm 21 now and still don't have a definite plan so don't feel bad lol
|
| SmashIsTheWay94 Pretty sure I just saw you comment that you were around that age at some point so that's why I'm thinking that lol
|
