 | undertakerpt Unlucky with the election man, Bob the Builder and Jimmy Saville probably organised it, as there was a bit of "fixing" going on.
|
 | oltnabrick http://goropsy6.bandcamp.com/album/thugged-out-satan
|
 | Titan lol, yeah...i really like ADHD and SLS the best......REM the least
|
| Titan im still new to them and have to absorb the albums some more.....everything i like a lot starts out at a 3.5.....some of these will def go higher
|
| Titan been digging some Riverside......nice rec and thanks!
|
 | Madcreator I know brah, gives me the feeeeels. Whole album is awesome, can't wait for their new one.
|
 | Zettel Sup, man. Hope you're doing good. Everything's fine around here.
|
 | KILL modern metal? neck :D
|
 | Puzzles both are at occupants.bandcamp.com (Uno and the Aviator). If you have any thoughts/interpretations etc I'm always interested. Also I'm changing the project name to Venusian, the guys from Cog just started a band called the Occupants lol
|
| Puzzles Thanks dude - yeah I did all the music at home and shot the video at school out of necessity - I didn't have any filming gear or cash haha
|
| Madcreator It's always the production with you, isnt it...Where'd you listen? I wanna give it a spin
|
 | MikeC26 It changes daily honestly. I really admire dudes like Frank Zappa, Devin Townsend an Steven Wilson for their prolificness. I'll link you to my soundcloud once I finish up some of my mixes. It's kinda s***ty but hey I did it all by myself!
|
| MikeC26 Yeah I feel ya. Guitar is such a **** for like the first 6 months because you're learning the fundamentals but can't really play anything. Once you get to the level of learning anything you want and writing music it's so damn rewarding. I'm going for communications, not sure what I'm gonna do with it but I'm only a soph yet so I'm hoping time will tell. If you ever have any guitar questions hit me up dude!
|
| MikeC26 I play guitar every day and give lessons to kids as well. It's bette than a "real" job and it's getting m through college. I dabble in drums and plan to take that a lot more seriously over the summer. You make noise homie?
|
| Madcreator Dunno if you've heard of this but you might like it, it's like an album of Internal Landscapes https://www.burningshed.com/store/label/product/138/4648/
|
 | demigod93 guess we're destined to a life without moving pictures
|
| undertakerpt Did you know you can make people walk faster, by holding a door open for them when they are quite a distance away?
|
| demigod93 Thats what i wanna know-i asked Willie but he never answered :/
|
 | Crymsonblaze It WAS 99But I've heard a lot of awful music lately
|
 | Artuma yap, i like all of their albums really much except their debut and that one had some cool songs too
|
| Artuma ****, forgot the word "are"
|
| Artuma damn haha yeah :D that song is underrated. there sooo many tracks i love in lightbulb sun
|
| Artuma i've heard it but it was a long time ago, should check it again soon. band is awesome
|
| Artuma the cat it's been staring at me, aaall the time
|
 | ButteryBiscuitBass Yeah It was cool. Something I'd like to do again, maybe. Have a good weekend, mate. I'm off work early today and down the pub for a couple!
|
| Artuma how is your life toooooodaay? lalalalalalala
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass I can play some opeth, camel, yes, that sort of stuff. Not very well though. It was OK. A bit frustrating. I remember playing a gig in Oxford and buzzing about it. But about three people were there, so it was a three hour drive for nothing.Yeah I do, mainly just chilled out melodic stuff, but don't have the money to record or do anything decent with it.I prefer writing words than music.
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass Yeah, played the guitar since I was 12. I'm OK. Used to have a band when I was 18/19 which was awful grunge music haha. Would love to start a prog band, but I live in a tiny town and none of mates dig prog, or are already in other Ska/Metal bands.
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass Impressive, bro. You're English is terrific.I know what you're saying, I'd love to just enjoy work, no matter what it is!Do you play any instruments yourself?
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass We'll see how it goes. I'd like to be a father by the time I'm 28 at least.I see, man. Doing a masters is impressive though.I hate work lol. I write a lot in my spare time, Ideally I'd like to do something with that, but doesn't everyone.Is English your native tongue?
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass Next year, or the year after, she's got bad athritis, so she wants to have a kid first. She's a year older than me. Looking forward to it though.Have you got a girl?
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass You'll dig for sure.Mediterranean Shipping Company, mate. Our UK office is in Ipswich, which is only 9 miles up the road from where I live.What about you?
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass Good man. All good, mate. Just got into work now, which sucks. Been jamming some Goblin which is sweet. Check it.
|
 | Very well then, how?s your Portuguese vocabulary? :D Sorry man, forgot to tell you they?re in my native tongue, anyway the site is www.metalimperium.com they?re under the name of António Salazar Antunes. Oh you?re right, since I?ve been writing for them I?ve come to know and like lots of stuff I wouldn?t check otherwise.
|
 | Dreamflight Hey man, great. bout you? It's cool. the worst part is reviewing stuff I don't like lol. btw have you ever thought about getting a last-fm account? oh and I actually enjoyed the videos you posted on the Mekaal Hasan Band review.
|
 | SgtPepper No worries. I'm always looking for good music, and the band you reviewed was great. And yeah, I was referring to that album. I'll try and go through the rest of their discog next week. Cheers.
|
| SgtPepper I'll definitely get this album. I'm loving the style of it.
|
 | NeroCorleone80 Will do. I dont listen to much jazz-fusion aside from some prog and metal bands that incorporate it.
|
 | Jethro42 For the Al Di Meola thing, I meant that E-Gyptian wouldnt be out of place in an Al di Meola album. Excuse my English which is not always good.
|
 | lately remember i told you it error'd, that's why i didn't want to rate, is there a way i can remove it?
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass Cheers for the heads up mate. Check yellowjackets if you haven't already.
|
 | JamieTwort Sounds like something I'd dig, I'll check 'em out. Thanks dude.
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass 'i have tool tagged as prog metal but yeah they're so different to any other band really idk they kind of TRANSCEND' - Lloyd.See, it's not over!I won't allow it!
|
| Madcreator Seems pretty decent, it's like Porcupine Tree with added Italian s***
|
 | SitarHero BTW, props on the Freak Kitchen review. Your DT review was also dope.
|
| SitarHero You're doing pretty well for yourself it seems. Half the time it appears that people just neg if they don't like your opinion and it has nothing to do with the quality of your writing.
|
| SitarHero Don't say anything to anyone. I'm wondering how long I can keep it like that.
|
| JamieTwort Hey man, yeah I've heard The Light which is good but I haven't checked out any of their other stuff apart from a few tracks here and there. What album would you suggest going for next? I need to give The Light another spin too actually as it's been a long time since I listened to it.
|
| Dreamflight Watch out bro or you'll be ending on some panic room.
|
 | thumbcrusher cheers for the rec, i dig a lot of steven wilson's stuff but i've never checked out No-Man. will investigate
|
| Dreamflight dude is that you? it seems like you're going to rip someone else's head apart. :D
|
 | toxin. Not the entire album. I've heard his latest, Divenire, Una Mattina, and Le Onde but nothing else. Definitely agreed about having to be in the right mood. Where would you say I Giorni ranks among his stuff?
|
| NeroCorleone80 Hopefully it will be surprisingly good, but they have plenty of older albums that I enjoy so it doesnt matter to me much
|
| NeroCorleone80 I'm not really bothered what their new album will sound like. I'm happy with most of their old s*** lol
|
| toxin. get on that s***!it's actually been a while since i've listened myself, idk what's wrong with me since it's my AOTY so far. thanks for the reminder buddy
|
| NeroCorleone80 I agree, even though sometimes albums grow off of me, but at the same time others grow on me more.
|
| NeroCorleone80 Yep. Just gong through the discog of several of my fav bands. I do that every once in a while.
|
 | johnnydeking29 Oooh I need to get into KC sometime. Yeah, I like AFDTE, even if it's pretty avg by Anathema standards
|
 | tiesthatbind Hopefully soon, it usually takes me a while to get started on reviews since I get mad writer's block but I promise that album will be my next review!
|
 | CaptainDooRight album is done: http://trvth.bandcamp.com/album/black-horse-plague
|
| Jethro42 Hey dude, do you have the link for I might change my avatar one day...?
|
| undertakerpt your picture implies that the cameraman received penis in a violent manner
|
| CaptainDooRight yea bro easy to find, it's good maybe even 3.5 but is weak in some areas, I might bump rating tho, check it if u like them, was gonna rev but I'm not really motivated for it, some really good parts tho
|
| undertakerpt Good idea = peeling an orangeBad idea = peeling a penis
|
 | bakkermaarten007 Thanks Omair, I could say the same about you. I hope you get appreciated for your kindness
|
| Jethro42 ''Jethro knows about the Tull'' lol
But be aware that JT is unbeatable when it comes to Tull.
|
| Titan damn bro, then how do you have such s***ty taste in metal???? BOOM!!!!!:D
|
| Titan yes sir....i shouldn't have wrote that though as it pertains to the personal life
|
| Titan nah no problem dude!! thanks for the reminder.
|
| Titan yes, you recommended them in the past to me.....i will definitely get around to it! Thanks bro.
|
| JamieTwort You can stream it here: http://moonjunerecords.bandcamp.com/album/save-the-planet I've got it on CD so I can't hook you up with a download link I'm afraid.
|
| NeroCorleone80 All their albums are 3-4 imo. Ridiculously consistent band
|
| NeroCorleone80 I havent listened to them much so they could go up after a time. Judgement hit me harder than any other of their albums.
|
 | SalParadise Hey! Some vids of Alizadeh and Reza Lotfi!! Alizadeh is -in my opinion- just amazing, hope you like it! :Dhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4lhYriBKZ8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0DN5xfZgmELotfi:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGDOImVWKkY
|
 | Emyay i aight thanks man i'm getting those now, will check 'em out
|
| Jethro42 Hi! I could see you digging this band; http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/55102/Renaissance-Turn-of-the-Cards/
|
 | LunaticSoul Yeah, new Disperse is good. Kinda surprised you never listened to other polish bands other than Riverside, Indukti is awesome (and Mariusz sang on their first album..).
|
| SalParadise Wow! Thanks for all those links!! You probably did but, did you ever listen to Hossein Alizadeh and Mohammad Reza Lotfi? Two iranian sitar masters with a very deep and intimate sound (instrumental stuff, but sometimes had voices). If you don't ever listen to them I'll send some links! :DBtw, forgive my awful english...
|
| Dreamflight Hey Omair, check out these dudes, bet you'll like them. http://disperseofficial.bandcamp.com/
|
| JamieTwort Just listened to those links, good stuff. I particularly liked the short proggy section towards the end of Sarri Raat. Flute Jam was sweet too.
|
 | IpodMastery I'll have a look when im on the pc, what is it? : ]
|
| johnnydeking29 I don't think I've ever heard such tastefully awesome use of the sitar, and that vox...wow
|
| johnnydeking29 Gave Volte Face a listen, much more interesting than anything from SONGS
|
 | OmairSh Angels walk among us demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYzZpDw9yjM
|
| SalParadise Hey I've just seen your comment on my profile about Nusrat Fatih Ali Kahn, and I have to thank you for your recommendation: the Mekaal Hasan Band. I love progressive, jazz and experimental stuff, so if you could tell me about more bands like that I'll be eternally grateful!
|
| IpodMastery Its great that an albym can have that effect on people.
|
| IpodMastery Yea it was my entry album, needless to say it all just clicked from there.
|
| LunaticSoul May I suggest something? The Postman Syndome - Terraforming (2002), album I ended listening way too many times in the past. A friend of mine gave it, he said they were "prog", which they obviously aren't.. Great album, nonetheless. ;)
|
| LunaticSoul Of course it is ;). I like every sort of music, as long as it cointains quality. Or makes my head bang like a mother****er (way too much -core in the last months)
|
| LunaticSoul Yup. I listened to every range of metal/rock available, though. So many albums to rate (considering my account is two hours old), so little time to do it ;)
|
 | Ecnalzen Thanks for the pointers, guy! I will look back on them when I go to checkout more Riverside stuff.
|
 | DamnVanne I've only listened to The Raven That Refused to Sing like 4-5 times now, but yeah I think it's pretty bland. It has a few shining moments (a couple minutes of Luminol, the beginning of The Watchmaker, and especially The Raven) but it seems to be a dull mixture of some of his classic prog influences and the style on Grace for Drowning. What it really does is highlight how good Grace for Drowning is. Everything done on The Raven is done waaayyy better on that album.
|
| johnnydeking29 I like Escalator Shrine a lot, but I prefer Deprived slightly. Will defo check out their other stuff sometime
|
| johnnydeking29 Right, listened to it a couple of times; I like it, but I feel that it could be...something more (idk, there's nothing much wrong with it but it lacks a certain something that could make it way more interesting and engaging). Deprived is an excellent song though, album is a solid 3.5, hopefully will grow
|
| Dreamflight of PT: Deadwing (fairly enjoyable), Stupid Dream (only liked a couple of songs), and FoaBP, which I didn't enjoy at all. Of his solo stuff I've only heard a couple of song off Grace, and can't say I hate them, perhaps if I listen to the whole album I may enjoy it who knows. I'll see if that album is on youtube and take a listen. :)
|
| johnnydeking29 Yeah, haven't had time to listen through, but I'm liking it so far
|
| Dreamflight seriously??' I was enjoying the album last night, but was so sleepy I couldn't finish it. The only album by Steven Wilson I fully enjoyed so far was PT's In Absentia. :/
|
| Dreamflight And it's done. Couldn't remember any relevant prog event lol. About the musicians part: bass and drums (the gathering), guitars (lanfear), keyboards (kamelot) and vocals (delain)...not sure if they're going to take me serious besides the guitars. lol
|
| Dreamflight I mean, I really have to check this site more often. they even labeled most After Forever and The Gathering albums as Recommended, but somehow I keep forgetting the site. :/
|
| Dreamflight Listening to SONGs right now. First track sounds good. Dude about the poll....am I allowed to post stuff outside prog? I'm thinking of Lana del rey, delain, anneke and so on..
|
 | bloc I'll usually listen to an album once and then rate. If the rating is low but I'm still unsure, I won't it until after several days or weeks where I can listen to the album a few more times and see what the final verdict is. I'll listen back to this album after a few weeks and see what's up.
|
| bloc Haha, you seem to have a real knack for album mixing, especially when it comes to Riverside! Tbh, I never noticed anything wrong with the sound of their albums, but then again I can't say I listened to this one 10 times ;)
|
| bloc I'm glad you agree because my 3.5 rating is pretty generous. I can't see myself listening to it very often in the future tbh. I had a feeling this would be the case...
|
 | marco122l "SONGs" it rules. I'm from Poland and I made a pre-order :)
|
| undertakerpt Why thank you! You'll have to pop round for a cup of tea. In the meantime check out my Robbie Williams review
|
 | zxlkho I'm not sure why I liked it actually. I think it's because it sounds a lot more like SLS than their last two albums (which weren't very good imo)
|
| zxlkho No, it's pretty good actually. I was surprised.
|
| Dreamflight lol, here I was thinking "SONGs...what does that mean?" then looked for the album name ahah you got me there buddy :D
|
| johnnydeking29 Whatever works, I guess. Also lol, I'm defo not American
|
| johnnydeking29 Btw, I was gonna transcribe the Beginning and the End solo today, but I did some Glassjaw (Cosmopolitan Bloodloss) instead, might do it this weekend tho
|
| johnnydeking29 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQiEPQ5wObwThat's basically the only video worth watching (apart from the Barbie Doll cover); the others are mostly me screwing around with mates
|
| johnnydeking29 I've heard of them, never listened; apaz it's quite weird?
|
| johnnydeking29 Btw bro, I showed my friend Celebrity Touch, and he preordered after one listen
|
| toxin. Awesome, thanks for the recs!
|
 | NightmareCinema16 Ok, I didn't quite know. I am looking at their second most recent album right now.
|
| Dreamflight Hum not bad all. I actually enjoyed The Pattern more but it definitely sounds good, thanks for the rec. you thinking about doing a review of this? :D
|
| NightmareCinema16 Thanks for the reccommendation. It might take a while to get used to listening to death and doom metal again (though I used to do it all the time a few years ago), I just crawled back into it after listening to Opeth and Tiamat.
|
| Dreamflight it's not that I hate the song, it has some nice hooks, but overall is not something that make I'd listen again. Still hoping it works better with the album ofc. :D
|
| Dreamflight Video is really well done. it's not the most innovative concept for sure, but at least I think they made it credible enough, and like you said it, the actor's work is really good.
|
| Dreamflight what a ****ing awsome video...what was that in his face??? still not crazy about the song though
|
| Dreamflight You know, for almost one year I've been thinking that WS was the best album of the decade... but then I've heard The Gathering's Disclosure. lol But yea WS is prolly their most consistent, however TSE is the one that got me into them, and it always be my fav.
|
| undertakerpt lol i've been busy moving house, had to go a month without internet, but its been installed now so there'll be plenty more s*** reviews coming soon lol
|
| johnnydeking29 If I don't dig it, I'll give SLS a listen, and if I do then I'll probs buy it anyway
|
| johnnydeking29 Yay, I loved meh whatever bands :] decided to pre-order the new album instead of SLS, coz I want some decent 2013 stuff and am on a budget, will hopefully rule
|
| johnnydeking29 It takes a long time to sink in, but it's my 2nd fave now (haven't heard alt 4 tho)
|
| johnnydeking29 Lol, the margin between Anathema and everything else is ridiculous...if I get into the Gathering and Cult of Luna, they'll maybe get there one day. Am probs gonna order Riverside tomoz, and btw did you ever check Eternity?
|
| johnnydeking29 Ahaha, so true (although "Life is not the opposite of death, death is the opposite of birth" has stuck with me hard, so don't slam Presence :P). DT do still rule in small doses, but Dramatic Turn blew hard
|
| johnnydeking29 With most DT solos, agreed, but Voices builds up so perfectly...I'll consider a cover, but I can't be bothered to do the whole thing (my youtube page is kinda bare atm; I've got a children of bodom solo cover, a s***ty in flames cover and a load of crap)
|
| johnnydeking29 The solo in Voices is better imo, but yeah it rules so hard, might learn it soon
|
 | YoYoMancuso "Yo Yoyo" lol. I'll check that within the next few days, thanks for the rec
|
| johnnydeking29 Lol, I haven't forgotten; I'm going to listen after I've heard Agalloch's debut and The Gathering - Mandylion
|
| Dreamflight cool, thanks for the heads up. maybe the video could bring some lights about the album concept. (apparantly it's about ghosts and tech :D)
|
 | TheBigLebowski Agreed, I do listen to a lot of Prog just don't rate them.
|
 | MeatSalad I actually have an album of theirs dl'd, gotta get around to listening to it thanks for reminding me
|
| johnnydeking29 Cheers for the rec; was meaning to check them out sometime. I won't be able to for a short while (I'm getting a ton of stuff for christmas), but will defo get round to it
|
 | FrozenVain Yo, OmairSH. I dig your style. No problem. Bye.
|
| Dreamflight yea, agreed, it's a really generic song. Well some bands like to release singles that have nothing to do with the actual album, in the attempt of luring a certain crowd to their style, who knows this is one of such cases?!
|
| Dreamflight hey man, that new riverside song is already online.https://soundcloud.com/riversidepl/riverside-celebrity-touchno surprises apparantly. :(
|
| undertakerpt Yeah they took the review down, can't remember what I said in that poo pargraph tho lol
|
 | bullymong yeh deb abuses his ****ing power to hell
|
| bullymong i make a new one everytime i get banned lol.
|
| bullymong saw your comment on ataris shoutbox (its skele btw). Sonic got banned for his racist comments in that list about Respecs four-way. something like "three dudes and an ape" in relation to a black girl
|
 | Atari lol i honestly have no clue i think deviant. just doesn't like him and is abusing his power.
|
| Dreamflight humm...lets's see if it turns out to be better than that preview. :)
|
| Dreamflight niceee! is it one of the songs of that prview they've released a while ago? thanks for the info
|
| undertakerpt Lol, i honestly meant every word i said in that review.
|
 | MegaJake1024 Yah, thanks man. Totally agree although I have to confess I can be a hypocrite at times as well.
|
 | JokineAugustus Wow really amazing rec so far. I used to only listen to classical believe it or not, like 10 years ago when I was really young.
|
| Dreamflight Oh btw, I?m the opposite of y, first thing I notice on a song it?s the vocals, maybe because I grew up hearing rock, brit pop and stuff like that, where vocals matters most.
|
| Dreamflight Now that?s what I call description. :DYou see the stuff you said about the 2nd song, sounding like old school rock, while being true, it?s what I felt when listening to REM. So when I said it sounded like typical Riverside, I mean in a negative way, having said album on my mind. Lol But like you said, let?s hope the final product ends up better in every way.
|
| Dreamflight idk, on the first song hated that synth intro, but loved the vocal lines. Second song sounds typical Riverside. What did you think???
|
| Zettel Thanks for the rec, I'll try to give it an ear soon.
|
 | menawati it was just a joke about Marty Feldman who was in the classic Mel Brooks film Young Frankenstein
|
 | Voivod You can submit your request in this thread: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?p=18970804#post18970804 and if the review is well written and the album is recently released, then the mods will put in in the queue.
|
| Voivod I'm not 100% sure, but the rank is related to the number of reviews and the approval rate. The more you write, the better.
|
| undertakerpt I'll post you the email exchange on facebook man
|
| SgtPepper And I applaud you for thinking outside the box. I really dug the review. Hope to see more from you.
|
| SgtPepper I read your review, it was good stuff mate. I didn't agree with your rating, but you were indeed persuasive in your argument.
|
| undertakerpt And well done for rating GG's 1st album. Now if only you can get it up to a 4.0 i'll be even happier!!
|
| undertakerpt After a heated email exchange with the mods lol.
|
| Dreamflight agreed. apart of everything you've said, I think it has the punch factor that lacked on REM, making it much more emotional.
|
| Dreamflight Dude I'm gained, Anno Domini is a great record (will prob rate it 4). Thanks for the nice rec. :)
