| Foxhound Hey u know of anything around as good as Saetia, not in my ratings?
|
| dylanthedesertpea hey man who's that in your avatar? i feel like i should know but i can't think of it and its driving me crazy
|
| Gyromania You, sir, have excellent taste in music. However, you should let CTTS grow on you; they're one of my favorite bands, and I understand that the general consensus is that they're difficult to get into.
|
| PirateSquid I will make sweet love to you if you can give me a link to download Thy Mighty Contract
|
| TheWayfarerElectric oh, and i think you like skramz because it makes you a purist of some sort and you're thirteen so that's like different to be a 13 year old purist of anything besides mallcore.
|
| Wizard The Crinn ****ing rules!
|
| Nikkolae hahahahahah the assumption is correct however that has nothing to do with the avatars, idk i just dont have cool pics like the big guys :(
|
| scissorlocked Hey man,I am listening to choirs of the eye for almost a week.How long do you think will it take to reveal its brilliance?I mean surely I like it,but its by far the most challenging album i have ever heard!!!!!
|
| Jazzman85 Everything is opinion; for example, you don't like BTBAM that much, I happen to hate Pig Destroyer. All opinion. Thanks for your recs man.
|
| Jazzman85 I like Tommy's voice, he's quite a versatile musician, he's unclean vocals were better earlier in the discography, but really not as bad as people think. He's very talented. Good pianist as well. All opinion though.
|
| JulesWin awww did I hurt your feelings? well you need to step your reviewing game up
|
| JulesWin how do you have a 94% approval? do you create alts to pos your own reviews?
|
| Jazzman85 Listened to Mars Volta discography (main) yesterday. I'm gonna rate them now, I got a good idea of my faves.
|
| Jazzman85 Thanks so much for the recs. I have though heard of Toby Driver and all his stuff because my friend knew a guy who mixed with them, maudlin and Kayo Dot are truly awesome bands.
|
| Jazzman85 Oh and I guess you, me and progmaster and half this site agree... Sufjan Stevens is the king... especially on Illinois
|
| Jazzman85 lol I'm not progmaster and thanks a lot that cleared it up for me. I think I'll go with Frances the Mute for now, and see whats up with that. De-Loused is seriously, like one of the best albums I've ever heard. And Stars of the Lid is closed to a 5, but I don't know if it'll make it. Thanks for the Volta help, anything else you wanna rec me?
|
| Jazzman85 Hey thanks for commenting. I didn't see you so far on this site since I've been on here I think so whats up? Anyway, I think I just fell in love with The Mars Volta haha. I knew the name before I got on the site, but never got into them, but they are right up my ally. I listened to their album "De-Loused" and loved it. They might be my new favorite band, and I've only been listening to them for a few hours as I type this haha. And you do have a good taste in music.
|
| Deviant. I'll let you know when i've spent a bit more time with it
|
| iranscam I mean the rating is obv a joke but it's probably a 3-3.5. Decent black noise.
|
| Deviant. I haven't been able to give it a great deal of attention, but from what I have heard it seems pretty good. Interesting to say the least
|
| WoodLawn When I think "****ing intense," I think Metric.
|
| WoodLawn Just got around to checking out that link to Cogito you sent me a couple of weeks back. They're not too shabby at all. Vocalist has that absolutely demonic Usurp Synapse-y sound. Just downloading the Vital EP now. Thanks for the tip man.
|
| Wizard So you like bm that has some actual thought put into it, not the cheesy, over-the-top type of stuff I take it.
|
| Wizard Hey, I don't want to spam up your AW review so I thought I would throw you another symphonic bm band that I've recently discovered called Nazxul. Their latest album is called Iconoclast.
|
| Athom i think you mean Dostoevsky reference, bro. way to s*** on my favorite novella.
|
| TheSpirit Haha, yeah well i finally got around to actually rating somethings. Usually i just skip over that and only rate what i review
|
| TheSpirit Don't worry about it man. I've barely heard the album and first come first serve anyway.
|
| Foxhound You watched that ICP movie didn't you? lol only reason I'm asking is because I saw you post "pos 'mothafoka'!" and I that's what I thought of.
|
| Progmaster85 But it's all opinion, hey man, listen to what you want, what makes you happy. I would however have to say that as a slight fan of The Mars Volta, I have talked with others about the fact that they take avant-gardeness to far, but I still like them. I'll check out that thing you posted on my wall.
|
| Progmaster85 I actually like your reviews, well written. However, if you can find a spot on BTBAM's Colors that goes like this for 5 minutes: jwef;afjaklfbefkf;ab;k, I'd be surprised. The genre breaks are used as a relief for the layered metal sections, and usually, the second half of each song is a clean/jazzy take. The Mars Volta is so ****ing talented, but they take it too far, especially on Amputechture. Bedlam in Goliath sucks too. Octahedron is their best since De-Loused, and yes better than Frances.
|
| Prophet178 Damn, that's impressive. I still need to get that cogito s***, damn.
|
| Prophet178 Thanks man. You're a review machine dude, do you write those the same day as you post them?
|
| Essence no edward is named edward. YOU are named stephanie
|
| mynameischan well thank you. also 3.5 for digital ash that album suxxx
|
| Essence okay stepphie hey i hear you put on your first training bra don't worry you'll be a woman someday
|
| mynameischan hmm i am not sure if you are being serious or not, i am very wary of you ****ing with me
|
| PanasonicYouth thought i'd warn you before mods caught it, but troll rating (ala rating the entire Emmure discography as a 1) is ground for getting all of your ratings d. might wanna change that quicklike.
|
| Essence sup stephenie you lookin' for an adonis to romance? too bad you'll never find one hahahahahah
|
| Progmaster85 I also see we have some things in common, such as a love for Godspeed , though F# A# isn't a classic in my eyes
|
| Progmaster85 In reality, I'm just messing with you, no need to be harsh, everyone has their opinions.
|
| Progmaster85 to your opinion. I happen to enjoy Mars Volta sometimes, but they use odd combos of random sounds as 5 minute filler to often. But, I see you love Volta, which is totally fine. Be happy with what you listen too, thats what matters.
|
| Progmaster85 You are entitled to your opinion, friend. Planet of Ice is probably more of a 4.5 truly, but 5 to me because it's the first record in the genre that I loved. Many would disagree with you that Between the Buried and Me is annoying, I've actually discussed "Colors" with fellow musicians, most of whom would say that Between the Buried and Me are highly original and are fantastic musicians. Also, Minus the Bear is highly regarded by many staff members, especially on this site, but you are entitled
|
| Progmaster85 Cassandra Gemini contains about 10 minutes of: EJSnfsJGNslkjgrkljgaklgblkgbrlkj
|
| Progmaster85 hehe sure you do, and I bet you think robot cats having sex sounds good to. Hehe you make me laugh. Try some tasteful prog like King Crimson, maybe some Fates Warning or even Scale the Summit. Haha you think Frances the Mute is godly I love it.
|
| Progmaster85 No, what I'm saying is that Volta is good but they like to masturbate with sounds and they think it sounds good, actually Cicatriz ESP has 5 minutes of Omar throwing up into the mic. Please fool, don't tell me I don't like Prog.
|
| Progmaster85 the mars volta likes to masturbate with their instruments. In fact they recorded it, it's called Cicatriz ESP.
|
| Progmaster85 I also see that you have The Mars Volta's "Frances the Mute" at 5. Unfortunately, you are wrong because the album is mostly all over place at times and Cassandra Gemini is abysmal. Don't tell me I'm a sad man at all, what's sad is that you have Leaving your Body Map at 5. Please kid, don't tell me I'm sad lol.
|
| Progmaster85 metalcore is something I grew up with, mostly, I don't care for most metalcore anymore like Killswitch yet I do still love August Burns Red because of the song structures, they intrigue me. I actually listen genres like Prog, 70's Prog, Indie, Post-rock/metal and melodic death metal more than I do those bands any more.
|
| kitsch ya i saw yr review of earth and downloaded it. in the woods... is really tight. ill check out the other one u said
|
| Wizard Funny that you mentioned Torture Garden because that was the next album I was going to look into hahahaha. Thank you muchly.
|
| BallsToTheWall I've been jamming to that Black Boned Angel album for the past half hour. I'm digging the middle section alot. Probaly wont get to finish it now because i'm off to run errands soon.
|
| kitsch you seem like someone who could give me some avant-metal/drone recommendations that take more risks in their sound than sunn o)))
|
| Wizard Naked City rules and I'm looking into more by the band. Thanks again man!
|
| PirateSquid Thanks man, I know they made a good split with Off Minor. I was planning to check them out, but you gave me more incentive. Thanks : D
|
| BallsToTheWall I don't know what just happened but I believe you just hit me in the face with a metaphorical brick and i'm all dazed.
|
| BallsToTheWall Sure. Or it could be the absolute truth to the infamous Twilight love triangle.
|
| TheSpirit i like to follow-up on certain users i suppose
|
| TheSpirit Okay cool, I'll definitely check out Omnio
|
| TheSpirit Yeah, i have Heart of Ages from them and it's excellent but i still need to hear Omnio. If you like that you'd probably like Nocte Obducta. They are a tad bit heavier but good nonetheless
|
| TheSpirit Both. And yeah, i was planning on waiting till about 45 -50 anyway.
|
| TheSpirit Thanks for posting it man i really appreciate it.
|
| rasputin once you become a contributor, all you really need to do is post every now and then. there isn't too much expected of a contributor. staff obviously have more requirements.
|
| rasputin there really isn't anything to it at all. in the sputnikmusic section of the forums there is an application thread for both contributor applications and staff applications. read that thread, write up your own application and post it in there. whenever promotions are made your application will then be considered. as to what it entails, pretty much nothing. just post regularly, consistently good reviews - they prefer new releases, but that's more important for staff application.
|
| kitsch i see u dig the cr00shness along with the mt goats. braid is awesome. good man
|
| Prophet179 Hahahahaha thats the best. Knowing I made an asian obsessed woman queef makes the banning all worth it. I think Dave was the only one who didn't find it funny.
|
| Prophet179 No, sounds sick though, I'll definitely check it out, thanks. I wrote up a review for the Takaru split but I have to wait until Sunday to post it.
|
| Prophet179 Hell yeah, it seems like no one around here has heard of them. That split is probably one of my favorite scremo releases of all time.
|
| iarescientists when i first listened to it i couldn't stop listening to it and thought it was the greatest thing ever, but then i listened to it too much and got kind of sick of it and then i become a giant elitist **** and thought the blood brothers were really empty and superficial and s*** but then i stopped being a giant **** so i love them again
|
| iarescientists oh yeah me and that album have had a very odd relationship
|
