Has anyone heard The Baroness?

should be seeing them next month but i might not end up doing it

we'll see

the band they just released an album the red something

The Baroness are awesome.

i thought you meant the lp because i've never called them the baroness, always just baroness...

so by "the baroness" i thought you meant like the baroness lp.

now i wonder if i should be saying "The"...

[QUOTE=cbmartinez;15295977]i think the song is about how a mother has children and like quits her job and then like she experiences like depression because she has to just stay at home and watch her kids. Hence, the lines like "I wanna see the building where you used to work in." And I'm not sure, but her husband might have also left her which contributes to the depression. Basically, I think it's about a kind of post partum depression, like dealing with the fact that having children isn't this glorious occasion, it's really kind of depressing because you lose your freedom and stuff.[/QUOTE]


I get the sense the entire album is about cities and the things within them (namely jobs) running everyones life, and a second theme is the absence of a parent or failed parenthood. The title kind of nods to this, as oxen are castrated bovine (unable to parent) and 'the lion sleeps when its antelope go home' is supposed to be a metaphor for work and how bosses or cities lose power once a person punches out.

Word, I've never looked into the other lyrics but I think Easter has some kind of a mocking religion theme to it, like the lyrics to "perpetual bris" and "corporeal" are so clever.

I just started getting [I]Easter[/I] today on slsk, so Ill get back to you on those jamz.

[i]Oxeneers[/i] is seriously too good though.

That's true to a certain extent but Oxeneers totally rules, sure they miss the mark by dragging the songs a little too long sometimes, but overall great album. Their diversity in songwriting improved so much on Easter but there's too many boring tracks to match the great ones.

Anyone want to rap battle my girlfriends 14 year old sister?

I hear a lot of that too. Stuff like "You were born, born from sin/And if that ain't a curse then I don't know what is".

[QUOTE=cobert;15295670DIT]: Also, Botch just sounds like a better version of Norma Jean to me.[/QUOTE]

Maybe because Norma Jean is nothing but a huge Botch rip-off? Everytime I hear the opening riff to "Murderotica", I think "Is this Botch?".

Botch lite

Yeah, I like the "god's got it in for us but I'm not sure he's around, or anywhere to be found" or whatever. Both those songs kill.

Hmm, apparently someone named Joe Preston played in TAAS. Not the same Joe Preston of the Melving and Earth I assume?

no. just a confusion.

[QUOTE=iamrockzorz;15293028]What do you guys listen to primarily? Genre wise? I've pretty much selected the handful of emo bands i like that i listen to all the time, but i don't listen to that much emo.[/QUOTE]

I mainly jam grind, 80s USHC, Converge, and early Isis.

Hey.
So speaking of Botch, guess who's gonna blow up next?

If you answered Minus the Bear you guessed right.
I was just watching MTV and a commercial hyping them aired.
It seems like MTV made it too.
Awesome.

I thought Minus the Bear were already pretty big.

ya they totally botched their sound

MTB is a pretty big indie band. But w/e I don't think they'll catch one that fast honestly. Number of bands have been played and forgotten on mtv.

mtb plays at the mall all the time over the speaker.

Minus the Bear is sooo good.

I've heard Cave In played a lot in the past in movies/commercials. So meh, I will dig MTB either way.

am i the only one who thinks minus the bear sucks a fresh dick?

so boring

Yeap. Only one.

Everyone else that has heard Minus the Bear liked them besides you, Matt.

i haven't heard them

nah they suck

yeah I agree

anyone ever listen to a black rose burial?

Old. Funny.

Yeah man pretty old video.

As did I.

I've been bumping Saves The Day so much lately.

Chris, you cannot be serious.

dick in the box was never funny

dick in a box is hilarious

can't slow down is so mediocre, especially after hearing Can't Slow Down it's so boring and generic, power chord power chord power chord
