 | OmairSh Doooooooooooood whre you at dawg
|
 | JokineAugustus Dude she is. I wanna new firefly movie so baaad. I know its been 10 years since Serenity, but god damn she is still fine.
|
| OmairSh They're touring the US currently, have you checked the dates?
|
| OmairSh And of course Tom has a great sense of humour, so I got a few funny pictures with him. Henrik was really enthusiastically talking to a bunch of us for like 15 minutes at the very end about guitar playing, and other guitarists that influenced him like Mattias from Freak Kitchen. Even when he was being told that the bus had to leave, he kept talking. Really approachable and cool dudes for sure. When they walked on it took a while to realise I was actually at an Evergrey concert. m/
|
| OmairSh His voice sounded good, but I was so far in front and for some reason I couldn't hear his vocie so clearly. The sound system could have been a better. But they brought the energy like hell, and Tom even Brofisted me during the performance m/. And yeah man they're extremely cool guys to hang out with. Talked with Johan for like 10 minutes, and all the other guys as well. Got pictures as well
|
| OmairSh Just came back from an Evergrey concert, and it ****ING KICKED ASS!! The guitars sounded fantastic live, had a real raw edge to them. Got to meet the guys after as well, really great night.
|
| OmairSh Sorry to share so much, but I really love this video. I keep coming back to it. RHODES ON FUTURE EVERGREY ALBUMS PLEASE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxqRGkR2jlU
|
| OmairSh Tell me about it, and he can sing well. I think he should definitely have a larger vocal presence on future Evergrey albums.
|
| OmairSh Oh almost forgot (and he's planning on releasing a solo album, can anybody say hell yeah?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9UvHSGSe6A
|
| OmairSh In case you hadn't seen it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58TaaVuH_ME
|
| OmairSh Dam I guess I got more than I bargained for haha.
|
| OmairSh I'm bumping the Evergrey threads alone. Where are the Evergrey soldiers?
|
 | Inveigh word well yeah beer advocate is your best starting place, if you're ever interested in trading for some chicago stuff let me know and we can try to connect on facebook or something
|
| Inveigh the best way is to probably hit up the beer trading forum on beer advocate. where are you located?
|
 | TheCrocodile I bought it blind so I wouldn't know. It's a lot more ambient-y than Navigator while still keeping the same style. So if you didn't exactly think too highly of the first one I'd suggest looking harder or find a decent price...
|
 | mandan I'd say I'm more of a music guy than a movie guy personally, but I do find movies intriguing, plus it's a popular subject in social situations. I find cinema brings more people together than music, because with music it's prob harder to find mutual understanding than with movies, if that makes sense.
|
| mandan Nolan is one of my faves for sure. It all really comes down to taste, be it movies or music.
|
 | zakalwe It's always a pleasure to hear someone digging Fuzzy. That album is an all time classic dude. I've never given a Ryan Adams album a full spin but I'll start on Heartbreaker.
|
| mandan Which are some of your fave film directors?
|
 | pissbore just login through fb if you're already logged into fb when you go to plug you literally just click the facebook login button and you're good
|
| pissbore no you always had 2 options, either make a plug account or just login through fb
|
| TheCrocodile Yeah, each time I listen to this album, when that song comes in, I stay paralyzed for the whole 5 minutes and a half of its runtime.
|
| TheCrocodile Glad you liked it I don't exactly know much people to recommend it to around here. Your list gave me an opportunity to rec it though. It's really an amazing album.
|
 | RoundOnEndHiInMiddle yeah those are what keep it from being really incredible. some are solid but others kind of kill the pace a bit
|
| RoundOnEndHiInMiddle it's all good haha, i didn't see that you'd only take two recs until after i posted it. but yeah it's a pretty sick record, one of the best of 2015 so far for me
|
 | Frippertronics both him and ars are aight, but they take this stuff way too seriously and make themselves look like total ****boys
|
 | jmnewcomer18 damn dude. that must be why you posted on my timeline a couple months back. and ive been good man.
|
 | Shoteru Secede reminds me abit more of Aphex Twin rather than BoC and Autechre, so he isn't one of my favourite IDM artists, but the sounds he creates are pretty diverse
|
| Shoteru Autechre are a pretty safe bet if you want a group with nice consistency, but their sound is alot different to BoC. Secede has some really nice tracks that have a similar ambient feel to Jon Hopkins, and Kashiwa Daisuke's also worth checking out if you dont mind abit of classical mixed in with some glitchy electronics!
|
 | Jots hey thanks man, nice to know my older stuff still holds up lol
|
| jmnewcomer18 breh you your facebook? idk why i cant find you
|
 | KjSwantko Sup man. Evergrey posted their first single from the new album. Go check it out as it's surprisingly cool I think. I did a news article on it too, if that helps?
|
 | CrownOfMagnets sorry to hear that, dude. i get mad stressed all the time but i found it's best just to not worry.. my 4th was good, we had a show on the san diego pier (o'side technically).. how was yours? also id love to hear your thoughts on the spider island LP
|
 | Mesm277 I just can't Dig most of it
|
 | Crysis They're earlier albums are much better but I still think they're a generally mediocre melodeath band
|
| KjSwantko Nice Evergrey list too. Love seeing other people around here giving Tom and the boys some mention!
|
| KjSwantko Thanks bro - much appreciated. Nice ratings you got there too!
|
| Crysis I went by your ratings to determine if you have/have not heard the albums, so forgive me if you've already heard some of the more popular albums I listed. Most of these are more on the dark/melodic side than the pretty side.
|
| Crysis Sure thing! "Oracle Moon" by Garden of Shadows, "The Morning Never Came" and "Hope" by Swallow the Sun, any of Agalloch's first three, anything by Be'Lakor, "Bergtatt" by Ulver, "A Collapse of Faith" by October Falls, anything by October Tide, or "Welcome My Last Chapter" by Vinterland to start.
|
| mandan Yeah man, AiC fanboys are overwhelming on this site. Don't get me wrong, I think Dirt and JoF are amazing, but I prefer Ten and SUK to any AiC album.
|
 | Lambda http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K8BH2jPZzkHappy Camper live
|
 | DarkNoctus i think it does - but what would have been better is just replacing between times with take me in.
|
| DarkNoctus only have the vinyl version - take me in is better than between times but not as good as the others, still a great track!
|
| DarkNoctus track 1, 2, 4 and 5 are equally as amazing to me - one of my favourite albums ever [:
|
 | itsalltherage Yer mate, Hours remains my absolute #1 album of all time to be honest - as unpopular an opinion as that may be. They're playing it all the way through for some shows in the UK in April so gonna catch them in London. Will probably be the best day of my life.
|
 | minty901 no i havent checked that out but i will; cheers. i just have their main albums from footprints onwards.
|
| itsalltherage Bend Your Arms, She Drove Me, Juneau, Escape Artists, Bullet Theory all still go just as hard as the first time I heard them tbh
|
| itsalltherage sorry dude for some reason my comments keep on getting cut short. sput being retarded. was meant to end with ',even if it's just for nostalgia's sake.'
|
| itsalltherage Only album similar that's better in my honest opinion - is Hours lol. Fave band of all time for a reason. Highly recommend you give it a spin again
|
 | musicalmedicine That's a nice idea, bro! Will think about it, I love Death.
|
| jmnewcomer18 Built To Fade - To DustLong Distance Calling - Avoid The LightThe Mars Volta - Octahedron / De-Loused In The ComatoriumAnberlin - CitiesExxasens - Eleven Miles (I could see you enjoying this one alot)
|
 | JS19 It's not got really any drums and sparse vocals, imagine the string parts of Departure Songs but expanded upon. Really hit me hard first time though. Last song is literally a real hymn as well lol
|
| JS19 Dude, the new hammock arrived for me yesterday. It's like a mix between Maybe They Will Sing and Departure Songs. Went on a walk and listened to it.... Yeah it's a 5 for me
|
| jmnewcomer18 Did you get a chance to check out Paper Route yet? I see you accepted my Facebook request.
|
| jmnewcomer18 Another band you should definitely check out is Paper Route. They are an indie/pop, alternative rock type band. Not usually a big fan of music in the pop format but they are pretty great. In particular check out their debut LP "Absence". Their second effort is solid also but not nearly as great imo
|
| jmnewcomer18 um I haven't listened to them yet but I added their two latest to the sputnik database a couple of days ago
|
| jmnewcomer18 alright man sounds good ill check em out. How do you like Message to Bears
|
 | conesmoke haha how funny is that neoteric guys profile pic. your comment gave me a laugh.http://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/Neoteric
|
 | Decay Listen to dont forget :D
|
 | SeaAnemone yea sorry but your complaint about me 'not' mentioning other websites is pretty ridiculous - I don't know if it's a question of reading comprehension or just being super defensive, sorry dude?
|
| SeaAnemone or... maybe I was just talking about Sputnik in particular because... I was surrounded by the opinions of Sputnik... viewed by Sputnik users... on Sputnik?
|
| SeaAnemone warning is the best of that bunch. and i don't know about other sites they don't really have a bearing on my original statement??
|
| SeaAnemone mastodon, devin townsend, alcest, misery signals, system of a down, tool, underoath, and they severely overrate warning
|
| jmnewcomer18 Ahh there we go I found you. But yeah no I've heard of Mudvayne but never actually took the time to listen to them. Any albums in particular I should start off with? Btw check these guys out. Think you might like them, especially if you like Hammock and really anything ambient : http://messagetobears.com/
|
| jmnewcomer18 alright bro i added you. i think i did lol. ive been good, man. just applying for jobs and what not.
|
| jmnewcomer18 Hey man! Long time no shout. How you been bro? Check out the new Hammock single? Looking promising so far. Already pre ordered
|
 | ethos oh, wow i'm gonna reply back cause i didnt see your comment until now :X. thanks for the compliment on my reviews! which ones in particular were you talking about? i'll try to write something on an album i dislike, but it's going to be very grating/challenging for me because i generally despise jotting down thoughts on art that doesn't interest me (huge problem in school), i pull a lot of my ideas from just being so passionate about what i'm writing about so i guess the love just translates over
|
 | DecayingMajesty dude, i checked out the link you sent me.. It was awesome :D http://doradorovitch.bandcamp.com/album/tap-water
|
| ethos lol, thanks - how come?
|
| JS19 Haha thanks dude, I wish I had the literature skills to write awesome reviews for them like you do though! Can't wait for November 29th
|
 | Athom sure. i have a couple that i have to get to first but I'm still down to check it out maybe review it
|
 | Insurrection Not sure, haven't been in a writing mood lately. Theyre taking apps already?
|
| DecayingMajesty Ill check that out, what was your fav song of hidden by tnp?
|
| DecayingMajesty These new puritans are indie rock, they use knives and kitchen items as instruments
|
| DecayingMajesty The new puritans stuff is great, which rec did you listen to?
|
 | scottyrobotty I saw you liked the Entropia - Vesper album. Just thought I'd let you know there is a Kickstarter up for the vinyl version. Thanks for checking it out! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2119343023/entropias-stunning-debut-album-lets-put-it-on-viny/
|
| DecayingMajesty Dying fetus-Reign SupremeWormrot-Dirge These new puritans-Hidden Testament-the legacy At war-ordered to kill
|
 | Voivod Haven't listened to it, just saw the band at random in a review blog and thought I should add it in here. From their job description, I think they are worth a shot, at least.
|
| Crysis Will do, thanks for the rec.
|
 | pedro70512 Mithras looks sweet. Thanks, I'll check it out.
|
 | OrangeBLOOD You want a reason? How's about because. I'm pretty good. My band's LP is getting closer to being finished.
|
 | LocksmithGerald THINGS ARE GETTING HOT IN HERE IF I COULD A BREATHALIZER FOR THIS SHATTERED WINDOW THAT'D BE NICE I NEED TO GET BACK INTO THAT VAN OVER YONDER
|
 | OhCarrots Yup! I'm planning on regaining the contrib thing. Yeah, it's ****ing stupid how extended this ban was, but I'm managing. Luckily, I'm only 4 days away from being unbanned :D
|
 | Mongi123 Yea for me it was LP, then it became 30stm, then A Perfect Circle, and then Tool. It's amazing how much we change for the years. Still love these bands. LP and 30stm not as much but their s/t still remains one of my all time favorite records.
|
| Mongi123 I will always love linkin park for getting me into my taste
|
| Mongi123 Haha I used to like them in middle school but now I hate them with a passion now.
|
 | geasoftime Nice, I'm glad you checked it out. The album is getting overlooked hard this year, which is a shame. I like the positive atmosphere though - It's an interesting change of pace anyways. Right now, it's a toss up between that or Gris for AOTY.
|
 | Friday13th Yeah I saw the WIM video. Didn't care for the video, but I liked the song! The guy reminded me of Bono, but that's a good thing because I'm usually turned off by these indie singers. I liked the epic sound and some good bass.
|
 | TheSpaceMan dude you just brought back so many memories haha, and it took me awhile to realize it but your pro pic is the main area in Myst. damn those were good I should try and find my old CDs sometime. My dad beat all of them and kept a really detailed leather journal to write down clues, draw diagrams and stuff. it looks like something out of Leonardo da Vinci's house lol and I used it to get pretty far in the games. don't recall ever beating them tho
|
| Crysis As for record stores, you can obviously check out Newbury Comics although the several stores I've been to in Boston proper and around the Boston area have a crappy metal selection. I normally frequent the Newbury Comics and Bull Moose Music in Salem NH and they have large, dedicated metal sections which is where I've bought most of my collection. You can also try Armageddon Record Shop in Cambridge, I haven't been there but I've heard it's one of the best in the area.
|
| Crysis Yeah I live in NH. The Palladium is the prime venue for metal shows in New England and that's where I've seen most of the shows I've been to, but I've seen bands play at the House of Blues across from Fenway Park, I saw Agalloch at the Middle East in Cambridge, and Dark Tranquillity at Harper's Ferry in Allston. I even saw Wolves in the Throne Room play outside behind some warehouse in Portland Maine haha.
|
 | Damrod Woah, just noticed your post on my wall. Talking about being slow, eh? ;-)It's a GIF by Russian Artist Tebe Interesno. He has notd it for over a year, but be shure to have a look at his LiveJournal: http://tebe-interesno.livejournal.com Awesome stuff there.
|
 | KILL 2007 hm dont get pissed when i 2.5 it hard bro m/
|
| OmairSh Sorry about the new avatar btw
|
 | demigod! it's Mr. Rosso from Freaks and Geeks :p
|
| OmairSh And she's dating Zach Braff!!
|
| OmairSh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTDLaPihwmM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIgE_EVK5Lw Woops, my bad
|
 | jtswope Yeah man Season 4 is literally insane. Holy s*** pretty much sums it up.
|
 | Vakarian12 I remember Mikael saying a few years ago he had an idea to do another concept album based around some some satanic cult and the main badass had to rescue his friend from there and that it'd boarder on black metal, kinda like MAYH. Honestly dissapointed that never came to be, sounded like a really interesting idea.
|
| Vakarian12 haha told you so! Creepy as hell. Wish they had that kinda ghostly, creepy style on one or two other albums.
|
 | andcas whatever you say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66tOcl_B6vI
|
| andcas I hate that band and the singer on that album went on to be etienne sin's little musical butt buddy so yeah pass on that being a worthy comparison in the slightest.
|
 | InbredJed Ya dude! Did you catch his part in Run Ronnie Run?He also had a recent interview on the Canadian radio talk show CBC Radio 1, Studio Q.I'd send you a link but I'm on my mobile.
|
 | MosesMalone Oh lord you were super ****ing right. This is awesome.
|
| JS19 Thanks for the heads up man, i checked him out on his myspace page and listened to that EP. It's fantastic - reminds me a bit of Immanu El. I'll definitely try and get my hands on it!
|
| MosesMalone Mudvayne you say? Well if its nothing like that "happy" song and everything like old school system, I can't wait to check it out.
|
| InbredJed Ty, Princess Bride was one of my childhood staples.
|
 | lucasjcockcroft pretty often still, and thank man, I need to check that out.
|
 | Cygnatti neither am I, but that one really really caught my attention. I'm glad you enjoyed it almost as much as I did. ^_^
|
| Cygnatti it's not, I just wanted you to listen to it.
|
 | jdennis31 Yea, this is pretty dope. Sounds like it'll be a great album for car rides too.
|
 | Willie I didn't know that I had a running theme, but now that you mention it...
|
| Insurrection av is the ice truck killer from dexter and dam if you dont recognize my prof pic you gotta jam the downward spiral to redeem yourself ;)
|
 | Redbedbreakdown That WIM song was pretty cool, i think i'll check out more of their stuff.
|
 | Colliiiin Yeah dude, I dig it. You into any other crusty stuff like that?
|
 | bach nice profile pic
|
 | Judio! Thanks for your industrial metal recommendations! I will definitely check those out!
|
| JokineAugustus I haven't actually. I may do it when I can access my better pc. For no I'm playing Gears Judgement and Battlefield 3 :P
|
| CrownOfMagnets you never told me what you thought of the live Spider Island bootleg.. you should review it if you're down.
|
| JokineAugustus Riven was my childhood man! I thought it was the greatest game ever. I may have to find it again. I wish more games now were similar in style to that one.
|
 | NightProwler Hey man!
Check out some classic danish rock/metal:
D-A-D: No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims
King Diamond: Abigail
Pretty Maids: Din-Decade
Volbeat: Guitar Gangsters and Cadillac Blood
Def check out Saybia's debut!
Perhaps something by "The Floor is Made of Lava", "When Saints Go Machine" or "Nephew" (who has mostly Danish lyrics).
My favorite group is Malk De Koijn, but it's a Danish Hip-Hop group whose lyrics are only in Danish. They're like a Danish Beastie Boys!
|
| Insurrection he seemed nice from what ive seen lol.. how was he a tool?
|
| CrownOfMagnets here you gohttp://spiderisland.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-the-cobalt-cafe-4-20-13
|
| CrownOfMagnets I'm actually uploading it to bandcamp right now. I'll give you the link when it's done.
|
 | klap i'll check it out. review looked good
|
| jmnewcomer18 thanks alot man i will be sure to check them out in the morning after i get my 8 hours haha. any more info on hammocks new record?
|
| klap haha yeah i was planning on reviewing it. didn't get a hold of until yesterday tho and have something else i gotta do first so look for it next week
|
| Frippertronics glad you're enjoying it. I'd suggest listening to the official soundtrack, and get ready for some massive disappointment...
|
| Frippertronics there were two different version: the unreleased score used in the film and the official soundtrack. I uploaded the score, but the soundtrack can be found on YT. I did a review of the soundtrack. The score is great for what it was trying to be, the official soundtrack is meh-ish. Links: Score: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOjQzmfvaSw
|
| Frippertronics yep, i noticed some users had gifs, so I tried to use a gif of False Maria (or Maschinenmensch, or Futura, or Parody, etc.), but I guess sputnik no longer utilizes gifs. By the way, what do you think of Giorgio Moroder's score for the '84 version?
|
| JS19 That's pretty awesome man, I'm surprised if I find anything at all not by Gwen Stefani at charity shops near me... And cheers - I'll definitely check them out!
|
| jmnewcomer18 yeah in a way it seems like they are forgetting what made them famous and taking a completely different approach, but also in way you cant blame them for wanting to try something new. idk man they have never seemed to disappoint so i have faith that they wont this time around
|
| jmnewcomer18 s*** man im way behind, did you say majorly orchestral? idk man this sounds interesting haha
|
| jmnewcomer18 Sorry it took me so long to reply also bro haha. But yeah howd you like the tracks i rec'd you? and you guys look cute together!
|
 | omgbecky Lmao, that is exactly what I did. Hmm, I didn't mind the music from Anciients. The vocals just didn't do it for me. As for Trvth...those were some long songs. I liked the mellowness. But the vocals, omg. Not digging the screamy stuff.
|
 | fromtheinside u take your words back. zack braff is a God among men.
|
| omgbecky Thanks for your comment, but I don't think "Anciients and Trvth" is a valid anything.
|
 | Ire garden state sucks
|
| Ire agreed z braff sucks hard
|
| jmnewcomer18 alright man check out the songs Watch Your Words, Metalingus, One Day Remains, In Loving Memory, The End Is Here, Ties That Bind, Wayward One, White Knuckles, One By One. Plenty of great tracks bro. Also they do have a third album but i recommend listening to the first two fully a few times before checking that one out. =) and if you dont mind me asking is that you and your girl in your profile picture?
|
| jmnewcomer18 im glad you liked it man. honestly their debut one day remains has alot of creed similarities but its a great record. their second album blackbird is great too. im not going to say which album is better but i can give you a lisy of tracks that are killer. i dont pick favorites.. thats not nice
|
| andcas I'm not a raving douchebag who acts like a child so they must take offense to it.
|
| CrownOfMagnets Hey man thanks a lot!! Yeah I am the vocalist. I'm glad you think I'm improving. Its pretty hard to rock out and then go sing without sounding out of breath... Once the album's done we're gonna fund our own tour. But its gonna take a while before we can make it to the East coast. We'll probably start with a west coast jaunt to Seattle and back. I'll keep youd on all these things! Thanks for supporting Spider Island.
|
 | Yuli well s*** son, you leave my shaking cleavage speechless.
|
 | Sniff Yeah, can you see my eyes?
|
| JS19 The funny thing is I actually didn't find them through Hammock - it was because of a shoegaze/post rock thread rec. thread from progarchives. I was more than a bit surprised when i found out it was Marc Byrd... They are fantastic though, not sure why they aren't a little bit better known?
|
| JS19 Hey man, yeah I really love Common Children's more shoegazy stuff. I couldn't believe they weren't on the site when i first heard 'em!
|
 | wacknizzle Aww yeah man, I love the new Psyke Project. I jam the song Partisan each day when I wake up, it's the perfect thing to motivate you to get outta bed.
|
| jmnewcomer18 yea man i have way too much s*** going on in my personal life to deal with some of the assholes on here. anyways if you want you can add me on facebook. Joseph Michael Newcomer
|
| wacknizzle I reviewed Love Sex Machine if u wanna check it out and comment.
|
| CrownOfMagnets Been great, just paying my dues with the band trying to play as many shows as possible..check out this live dark nova :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSgPeMeBBVg
|
 | silentpotato nice man! will check soon. is that you and yer lady in prof pic?
|
| silentpotato good stuff? the last two were both great so i suppose i should eh?
|
 | BallsToTheWall A new album? Cool. If I have time and really get into it I for sure would like to write one for it.
|
|
