[QUOTE=whiteminority]Should I get Capillary Lockdown or Strangers Everyday by the Red Scare?[/QUOTE]

Definitely Capillary Lockdown

[QUOTE=tornpictures]Definitely Capillary Lockdown[/QUOTE]
thats what i got. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]It's better than any of their other stuff. They seem to be getting more progressive and technical as they age. It is my favorite album of the year so far.[/QUOTE]
I agree thats its better than their old stuff. Also its one of my favorite albums of the year so far. The best so far for me have been Frances The Mute by The Mars Volta, Nuclear Sad Nuclear by The Number 12 Looks Like You, and Alaska by BTBAM.

my favorite album of the year is nothing since i dont have alaska yet and i havnt bought any albums that have come out this year. only new album i have listened to is chimaira's "nothing remains" and that is alright not great.

biggest letdown of the year = O, God the Aftermath

That's only because it's Norma Jean. One good song actually, which was Bayonetwork. Everything else they have ever made sucks a nut.

i hated that album. but i liked their first one.

I could never get into Norma Jean. My friend tried to get me into them, but I killed him.

norma jean were locals around here. they suck.

I like Norma Jean. I think O, God was good. Just my opinion.

How many vocalists have they got through now?

i believe this is only their second.

this vocalist made them the scene bastards they now are.

yeah they were generic but Bless the Martyr, Kiss the Child was alright for what it was.

I love the fast tom tom bit in the beginning of the second half of "Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste". I always rewind it to that bit because is sounds so cool.

I also love that drumfill in the second verse of "Piano" by Glassjaw, where he does the fast triplet thing after the double crashes.

word sep, glassjaw rule. in other news in emo i am distraught that i cant buy the orchid/usurp syanpse split 6" on purple vinyl because i am broke.
:upset:



but i am happy because i got Alaska last night :)

That first new song by BTBAM "Selkies" on Purevolume is so amazing.

that is one of my favorites but my favorite off the cd is the backwards marathon. you should definately pick the album up if you like selkies.

Yay! Ben finally got Alaska!!!!!!! How do you like it?

I could never get into BTBAM, then my friend showed me some songs off their new album and I loved them. I just dunno what they were called :(

Which tracks should I check out?

/my first post in this thread :eek:

Check out ''All Bodies", "Selkies:The Endless Obsession", "Backwards Marathon", and "Primer".

[QUOTE=SunnyDayRealEstateAM]Yay! Ben finally got Alaska!!!!!!! How do you like it?[/QUOTE]
im forming a new religion called alakaism.

Hahaha nice. How much do I have to play to join?

I bought Rumors Laid Waste. Nice find, eh?

OMG! haha

I bought Alaska! What a fuc[size=2]king[/size] great album!!

My favorites so far are: Alaska, Selkies:The Endless Obsession, Backwards Marathon and The Primer.

Amazing cd!


BTW, What the hell is up with Laser Speed? :p

I think Alaska is the album the band has wanted to do from the start but just finally got good enough at their instruments to do (not saying they were bad before hand, they were still f[B][I][/B][/I]ucking amazing before this.) If anyone has noticed the band progressed from a metalcore sound on their s/t to them exploring tech metal on Silent Circus to Alaska which is full blown progressive tech metal.

Alaska>s/t>Silent Circus

I still think:

Aspirations > Selkies > Mordecai.

I can't believe I'd ever say this, but I like a song by Jerome's Dream.

Thirty Dollar Bill. Whoever it was who said that was a good song by them, you are right. The ending is amazing.

Selkies is my favorite song right now.

the primer and lazer speed
after one full listen

True that.

EMO is a waste of time listen to real metal!

By the way Bush sucks.

I haven't seen At The Drive-In, Fall Of Troy or Sparta in any of the other forums(i could just be bad at finding things though) and have heard them classed as Emo/screamo. Would this be accurate? I personally hate genre lassification but i'm interested what everyone would class them as and i thought that here would be a good place to ask.

Thanks :thumb:

No.

At The Drive-In has some emo influence, more of a post-hardcore/post-punk/indie band though. Sparta is just indie and The Fall Of Troy is just bad.

Indie isn't a genre. Fall of troy are a bit raw though, the production on the albums really doesn't help their case though. Thanks for answering :thumb:

I know the 'indie' genre argument, but if you get rid of it then I dunno what to classify a heck of lot of bands as.

Classify them as alternative.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes II]Classify them as alternative.[/QUOTE]

Beat me too it :thumb: . I've heard oasis and blur classified as indie and they sound nothing like sparta and many others classed as "indie".

Oasis and Sparta are both on big labels, I think, so they can't be indie. Yet many hardcore/emo bands are indie, but if you post about them in the alr/indie forum, you get flamed.
