Another review and another obscure band/album. I'm so underground. ;) Anyway, it's my 10th review so I'm having a little anniversary. Comments appreciated.

Seriously, when I first heard "Farewell" on the radio I thought it was some lost and found Mr. Bungle gem. One of my top songs of the year so far.

I think it's a good review, but there's one thing. Everybody keeps talking about Mr. Bungle as soon as Shaolin Death Squad comes up, but I must disagree. I think Mr. Bungle's just plain silly, but I love SDS.

Thanks a lot. I only used the Mr. Bungle reference to drag more people on this site into listening to this disc. You cannot refute that there are some obvious similarities between these two bands though (most notably the vocals). Plus, SDS often play Mr. Bungle covers during their concerts. Personally, I think SDS are quite unique on this album, which I clearly stated in the review.

never say "avant-garde music." It comes across as a genre, when really it's an adjective, as well as a crappy misnomer.

All right. I know exactly what you mean. I've changed it, but I wouldn't be so traditional when it comes to describing music.
|
| |
It's not traditional, per se, it's technical.
Experimental is fine though because it's been assigned by so many critics as an adjective, that and it doesn't mean "advance guard" and never described militant action nor did it ever suggest there was a correlation between innovation, intelligence, and artistic value.

Yeah. It has all these correlations when you know French. I guess "avant garde music" is an established English term. It is very fitting in the case of this outfit. Their music is described as avant-garde metal (which seems to be a subgenre of progressive metal) most frequently.

Good review dude. Thanx for introducing me to the band. And Spock's Beard - 'X' is very, very good after only one spin. I'm sure it's gonna be 4.5 or something. I think it's a contender to become my favorite Spock's Beard album. It's that good!!

Thanks man. I've never been high on Spock's Beard, but their latest album really took me by surprise. Especially From The Darkness is mindblowing.

The first 6 tracks are excellent. Plus, Let Us Welcome the Actors and of course Farewell. So the whole disc with the exception of 3 songs.

Nice review, you've got my vote. Mr. Bungle reference convinced me to get this.

Cool. They are one of these bands that definitely deserve much more recognition. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Band became my new drug. Listening to Intelligent Dreaming for the very first time. Second track is almost ending, I'm now ready to listen the 3rd track. First two tracks were amazing...God what a journey

Okay, 'Intelligent Design' is a masterpiece 5/5, and arguably one of my all time fav albums.
Fan-F*cking-Tastik album/band..!!!

Album Rating: 4.5
Yeah. Intelligent Design is also really good. I prefer this one though. Farewell is one of the best
songs of the year.
|

haha holy shit, I think I've found where Twelve Foot Ninja got all their ideas.
|
| |
Album Rating: 4.5
Bravo Sherlock. Given that they implement the same oriental influences into their music, Shaolin tend to be more prog metal oriented, while Twelve Foot Ninja often verges into math metal territory. Both acts are insane though. Both albums ended up in my top 10 of 2010.
