  • TalonsOfFire Robot? Yeah I may try Last of Us out of curiosity but I bet itll be a slog haha
    April 18 09:01 PM
  • TalonsOfFire All 3 Fantastic Four movies are so bad XD
    April 17 02:37 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Haha fair enough. Ive been enjoying bad zombie movies and just rewatched Splice, what a weird one that was, but bold. Saw Adolescence and enjoyed it but wasnt the best series Ive ever seen or anything like some say. Dont think Ill bother with the new season of Last of Us, experiencing the story in the second game once is plenty for me...
    April 17 02:34 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Maybe time for revisit..
    April 15 02:12 AM
  • TalonsOfFire No bueno for Overlord, Green Room, and Bridge of Spies too? I thought those were excellent!
    April 15 12:04 AM
  • TalonsOfFire I plenty of horror subpar too but Nope was really interesting and immersive to me, and loved the alien design, was like something out of a Lovecraft story
    April 15 12:03 AM
  • TalonsOfFire K I raised my Hotel Reverie rating for you pal XD
    April 15 12:01 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Your film ratings don't seem that different from mine, maybe I'm a little more critical, but I could say why u so down on Men, Dr Strg 2, Black Phone, and Nope? The last two especially I really liked.
    April 14 09:33 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Haha you saw that on my Letterboxd? To each their own but I thought Hotel Reverie was really subpar and boring and trying to replicate San Junipero. But Common People was quite good and Im looking forward to the last two.
    April 14 09:15 PM
  • Gyromania Honestly a bit reactionary from me, I won?t lie haha. I heard it this morning while getting ready and thought it was just awful tho. Some songs are maybe worth revisiting, others I found to be quite grating. It didn?t even sound like the same band to me, altho tbf I haven?t listened to their last 2-3 albums, so that could be part of it
    April 12 09:10 PM
  • TalonsOfFire If youre curious it is worth a listen, parts reminded me of HCE
    March 30 11:04 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Hey Mongi have you heard The Overview? Its a little short and wandering but there are 4 really great songs in there and a really cool soundscape at the end. About on the same level as Harmony Codex for me but it's more spacey and progressive which is nice.
    March 21 06:36 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Thats awesome, and same, my dad is a big music head since the 60s with lots of great records including prog ones. Genesis and Yes are two of the best, 70s was an unreal decade for amazing music.
    January 10 07:30 PM
  • efp123 you should listen to driftless-perfect blue. Im being a whore but whatever. I think you will like it
    December 31 01:41 AM
  • TalonsOfFire I get that, I do enjoy lots of movies every year but just reserve a 5 star for a classic, only like 50 movies total.
    December 26 04:38 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I've seen so many movies and know what I like, many modern movies are very cliched but maybe Im just particular haha
    December 26 04:25 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Im really excited for Nosferatu. Have you seen the viking revenge fantasy thriller The Northman? I thought it was amazing, and from the same director. Think I found your Letterboxd.
    December 21 10:01 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Im kind of a film snob, have prob watched too much horror so theyre predictable to me a lot, and most horror these days doesnt really do it for me. I actually wrote reviews of both Smile 2 and Anora on Letterboxd and RYM. I didnt not like Anora, it was just mildly disappointing cause I loved Red Rocket and esp. Florida Project. Did you see my ratings/reviews on my RYM or Letterboxd?
    December 20 10:44 PM
  • efp123 We have similar taste in music it seems. We?re right. Everyone else is wrong ^_~
    December 15 11:24 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah just releasing a new song or two every month of the year isnt ideal, but thats the internet age for ya
    December 2 06:23 PM
  • TalonsOfFire New Ulver is pretty nice, they sure enjoy playing synthpop
    December 1 03:35 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Haha I like it more than you but agree with a lot of what you said, I think everything else theyve done is better. Why did they go so 2000s Dream Theater on us?!
    November 23 08:45 PM
  • TalonsOfFire No I didnt know that was a thing, Ill look into that
    October 25 06:21 PM
  • TalonsOfFire They have a lot of albums huh, but I'll check out the latest is that's a standout
    August 11 06:05 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Have you heard any Alora Crucible? It's a new band of Toby Driver's that's very new agey and atmospheric with mostly stringed instrumentation, I love it and they just dropped a new album.
    August 9 08:12 PM
  • twlight Dude you are so cool. Go hammock
    June 2 07:27 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Interesting, never heard of them
    March 2 11:31 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah Barry was great. Flower Moon is still worth watching, Irishman too which I like even more
    February 1 12:14 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Right MI7 would be my next fav probably, thought it was solid but the writing dropped in quality a bit since Fallout I thought. Flower Moon was excellent, but dour and loooonngg. Very stoked for Dune 2. Saltburn was a freaky good time also but you might hate it haha
    January 31 11:01 PM
  • TalonsOfFire 2023 wasnt the best year for movies, but some gems for sure like Oppy, Holdovers, Beau, Flower Moon, JW4, The Killer, Asteroid City, May December, Talk to Me, and Guardians 3. Still have some to see like Iron Claw, Boy and the Heron, Poor Things, American Fiction, Zone of Interest, and Godzilla.
    January 31 10:20 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Most of my fav albums from the past few years were comebacks, a couple side projects, and some from newer bands (but still formed like 15 years ago). I think the last game I played extensively was from 2020 haha, recently getting back into RDR2 which is a fun time
    January 31 10:16 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Totally get it. I indicated on the new Peter Gabriel thread actually that nearly all my favorite artist/bands from growing up, and found from early years on Sput, either broke up, release something new once in a blue moon, or releasing milquetoast new stuff. I just throw my Spotify liked songs on Shuffle most of the time haha
    January 31 08:06 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I know but Radioheads probably over, at least for now cause they all want to do their own projects. Im just glad that Jonny and Thom are still together for The Smile.
    January 30 08:31 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Really? I loved most of tracks 4-9, and the last song Skrting. You might like Wall of Eyes even more haha
    January 30 04:16 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Gabriel is a legend, he was a primary member of Genesis. His solo career is great too
    January 26 10:58 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Haha badass. The new Peter Gabriel is excellent too
    January 26 09:41 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Hey how ya been? You listen to The Smile at all? Its a new Radiohead side project with Thom and Jonny. Their second album Wall of Eyes dropped today. Lots seem to like it more than the debut but I dont agree. It's still really good, and weirder than that one in a way.
    January 26 09:03 PM
  • Atari hell yeah! I'll definitely be exploring them more. just listened to Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You for the first time as well lol. there's always some BIG albums I've been avoiding for no particular reason and it never ceases to amaze me. good to see you around!
    January 26 04:06 PM
  • budgie where did you go mongi
    December 7 06:35 AM
  • TalonsOfFire I'll have to listen to more from this year, sure I've missed lots. The new MGMT song Mother Nature is fantastic too.
    December 2 05:23 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Seems interesting! Hope you're doin well. The new Peter Gabriel just dropped in full, excellent album and my fav of the year.
    December 1 11:11 PM
  • Snake. awwwww man RIP ):
    October 8 02:25 AM
  • Snake. yo you coming out to the holy fawn show in brooklyn?
    September 30 12:51 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Trust me they redeemed themselves
    September 18 06:13 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Heard the new National yet? It?s a winner and way better than Frankenstein
    September 18 04:37 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Ya I love their late 80s-mid 90s era best probably. I havnt heard too much of The Beggar yet, I feel like I kind of get their thing at this point haha
    August 24 05:34 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah the Leaving Meaning t/t and What is This are excellent
    August 23 11:24 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Really? Glowing Man is solid but is where I thought they started to get self-indulgent and kinda gimmicky, especially in tracks 4-7, which got worse with Leaving Meaning, whereas TBK is excellent all the way through and instrumentally diverse like The Seer.
    August 23 10:26 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Lol never mind me, I realized that I got Duster mixed up with Guster; the band that did the song Yooouuurre mmmyyyyy saaaateeliiiiiiiiite that?s always on the radio. Ill check out Duster soon!
    May 16 02:06 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I only know a couple of their hit songs, thought they were similar to Coldplay but maybe Ill give their first two albums a listen
    May 15 10:34 PM
  • TalonsOfFire The next two he did are great too and you might like them even more. GoD especially is insane. The second track kinda reminds me of Ulver.
    May 8 08:14 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I loved Blue Mecca, Famine Asylum, and Say Less too. Nice Replica rating. Oneohtrix Point Never is one of my favorite ambient electronic artists, his songwriting is so interesting and ecelctic.
    May 8 06:17 PM
  • TalonsOfFire The new National? Yeah what a letdown. I like tracks 3-5, Ice Machines, and Your Mind is Not Your Friend tho.
    May 7 04:08 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Ive only heard their first one back when it came out in 2014 and liked it a lot, will try the new one soon
    May 5 06:05 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Interesting, like it would be about the critical reactions to post-rock not being positive lately? Or audience reception? I would say to post on the blog, especially if you know Wordpress, tho I dont know if only staff can do that. I could inquire for you. Otherwise the simplest would just be in a list.
    April 29 10:21 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Nice! Catherine Wheel is a good one too.
    April 27 08:26 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Good Im glad! Yeah shoegaze and dream pop are two of my favorite genres. Beautiful Mind by The Verve sounds like Bark Psychosis to me
    April 27 04:43 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I tried Tim Hecker many years ago and couldnt get into it, until Konoyo, I liked that a lot. For gaze and dream pop: the first EP by The Verve and their album A Storm in Heaven, Sunkissed by Guitar, Blue Rev by Alvvays, Nowhere by Ride, Stargazer by Stella Luna, Scribble Mural by Sunny Day in Glasgow, and the bands Seefeel, Lush, Pram, and Sugar Plant.
    April 25 05:43 PM
  • TalonsOfFire No I havent yet, will get on it!
    March 9 02:26 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Nice, will listen soon. I remember the singles being pretty good
    January 28 10:31 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Crazy that the site got hacked like this and there's just no forum right now. I think a bunch of peoples comments, including mine, gotd too.
    January 12 04:16 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Isnt Sweet Trip amazing?? Unfortunately theyve been soured for me, for the time being at least, cause a band member stalked and assaulted the other one or something during their reunion. Shame cause their new album from last year was my favorite by any artist or band since 2017.
    January 10 11:12 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Skullcrusher is really good, that first EP especially is stunning.
    January 10 11:04 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Gorgeous isnt the first word that comes to mind with the name Skullcrusher lol
    January 1 07:16 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Ethel Cain is pretty musically diverse, its like ethereal wave, ambient/dream pop. Definitely should've been cut down but therere some amazing songs on there. Speaking of modern folk have you heard the new Haavard? It's really good, from the original guitarist of Ulver and its meant to be the successor of Kvelddsanger.
    December 30 10:14 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Holy Fawn is a very cool band! Their new album is definitely one of the best of the year
    December 28 11:07 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah Fantano has mostly crap taste haha, no idea how hes so popular
    December 28 08:34 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Ill have to hear that entire Holy Fawn album. I used to feel that way about Heritage, but it really grew on me over the years and now I love it. Do u like any of the albums they made afterwards? Mikael Akerfeldts new soundtrack Clark is great, its mostly instrumental.
    December 27 11:14 PM
  • TalonsOfFire By specialized I just mean my taste is getting pickier and narrower, a lot of new music sounds weird to me like too much autotune, predictable song structure, singing voice off-putting, or something. I also haven't felt like listening to any pure metal in years unless there's like post-rock, ambient, or genre-bending going on. I used to listen to like 100 albums per year! I feel like covid also slowed down new releases, and same with the activity on this site it seems.
    December 26 09:44 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I had a 3rd and final interview with a drone software company which is easily the highest level job I've ever interviewed for and I really want, also dont really have many other irons in the fire. Places take forever to get back to you these days and its suuuchh a long process : /
    December 26 09:40 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Ah ok, well I hope you get whatever confirmation you need, that cant be easy. I at least can relate to feeling a bit out of place or weird in life, like many active sput users I imagine since many of us are perhaps a little more introverted or can get obsessive about our passions, like music and other things
    December 26 09:38 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Im also between jobs, got suddenly laid off from work in August even tho it had nothing to do with my performance or anything. Been applying and thank God I live in Mass where there's unemployment, free healthcare, and I even got all my heat for my apartment paid for. State welfare/assistance programs are a wonderful thing!
    December 24 08:23 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Ah I should jam those. Listened to a couple Holy Fawn songs not too long ago and liked them. I agree this year has been pretty slow. Ive also gradually been gotten more specialized with my taste so that could be it too. What would happen if you tested positive for that?
    December 24 08:20 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Hey Mongi, howve you been? What were some of your favorite releases this year? I just made my end of the year list here: /list (dot) php?listid=201965
    December 23 05:30 PM
  • Artuma cool cool. pretty much the same for me
    October 4 11:39 AM
  • Artuma oh cool. honestly i haven't been keeping up with the latest releases much but i'll be sure to check that one out. how are you btw?
    October 1 07:52 AM
  • luci hey mongi, my comments were to americanflagash not you, no hard feelings!
    July 13 07:39 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I feel ya. .3 is magnificent
    June 26 05:05 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah the whole album has such great bass lines, I love that as a bassist myself. Maybe Wilson was like I have to justify my playing since Colin Edwin isnt here
    June 25 02:17 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Thats pretty much how I feel. You listened to the bonus tracks too right?? They're so good and probably better than most of the main album lol
    June 24 10:53 PM
  • TalonsOfFire So what do ya think of it??
    June 24 05:01 PM
  • TalonsOfFire New PT is solid dude!
    June 22 09:00 PM
  • Artuma i mean it definitely has more substance than the new deafheaven album. i didn't really get into that one
    May 22 06:40 AM
  • Artuma so i jammed that death spells album and it's pretty good indeed! sounds like something you could hear from deafheaven these days
    May 21 10:06 AM
  • Artuma that's good! never heard of holy fawn but thanks, by quick glance looks like something i could vibe with!
    May 21 06:06 AM
  • Artuma i'm good man, been jamming that new gospel album A LOT it's so ****ing good. how about you?
    May 20 06:59 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Looks neat, I'll check it out
    May 16 08:03 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Nice! Nick Cave has made so much great stuff.
    May 14 03:53 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I love Carrie and Lowell more, but Illinois is my next favorite. I know Jacksonville, Chicago, and Feel the Illinois are a bit wacky, but theres UFO Sighting, Casimir Pulaski Day, Decatur, Predatory Wasp, John W Gcy Jr, and Man of Metropolis which are fantastic and not what Id call show tunes.
    May 13 09:00 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Illinois is a classic! Ur listening start to finish right? Cause the first half is the best part; theres some filler in the last third. Tracks 1-12 with Predatory Wasp and Tallest Man would be 5/5 album for me probs.
    May 13 02:27 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Looks cool, will give a listen!
    April 7 05:06 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Haha thanks, and yes we are
    March 13 09:42 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Hey Mongi, I made a list of my all time favorite songs and marking my 20000th comment! list.php?listid=199040
    March 10 03:36 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yes I have! The albums I heard werent rated on my profile tho anymore for some reason. It looks like the same happened with a few similar bands too like Rosetta and The Ocean, so I rerated them just now. I should catch up and hear some of their new ones.
    February 18 04:10 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Ill get to it then!
    February 9 12:48 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Thanks! And Ecailles parts 1 and 2 are neck and neck for me basically.
    February 2 08:07 PM
  • TalonsOfFire /list.php?listid=198770
    February 2 03:26 PM
  • TalonsOfFire You should listen to more Swallow the Sun!
    January 15 09:55 PM
  • TalonsOfFire It is a musically diverse genre! Btw sort of related to that, did you see my sweet new list /list.php?listid=198569
    January 15 08:24 PM
  • DarkNoctus hahahaha yeah sorry, i didn't feel that album... i think it was one of those "i really admire what they're trying to do, i just don't like the result" kinda records. love everything else they've done. odd, because i'm a huge ambient/post-rock guy. eno has been my jam lately, it's why i checked it out. thank you so much though!! i'm so stoked you like it!!
    January 15 06:24 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Its taken overboard if physically unpleasant to sit through and is too tinny. I think as long as you can hear whats going on and differentiate between the different instruments then its fine, like Bergtatt and A Blaze in the Northern Sky.
    January 15 03:00 PM
  • Artuma yeah honestly both are pretty tedious to listen to. my rating for bloodmoon might be slightly biased negatively because i was legitimately disappointed by it. wildhund is just jarring in a wrong way
    December 13 09:48 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Good comparison, they also became more like Opeth in recent years, and go in a gothic metal direction too. It?s all great but the debut, Hope, and the really new one Moonflowers are my favs
    November 26 10:44 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah The Morning Never Came? That album is incredible. Hold this Woe is my fav on there.
    November 26 10:37 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Ive tried Fiona Apple a few times and couldnt get into it : /
    November 23 08:00 PM
  • TalonsOfFire You ever listen to Swallow the Sun? They?re a really great band from Finland I?ve been a fan of for like over a decade. Some of their albums sound like Opeth and Katatonia. Their new album Moonflowers is excellent.
    November 21 10:00 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Check out Another Green World and the two albums he did with Harold Budd, those are the best.
    November 19 05:13 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Only a 3 for Ambient 1 by Brian Eno? It?s an ambient classic!
    November 19 03:00 PM
  • Artuma gotta get on it yeah
    November 16 07:23 AM
  • Artuma oh s*** didn't even realize, thanks for the heads up man!
    November 15 10:42 AM
  • JohnnyoftheWell weak Pink rating?jam the vinyl version
    November 12 12:39 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Cant really argue with any of that. I miss the dreamy shoegaze side, they sound more like a typical indie band on the new one.
    November 3 03:24 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Really? I thought it was ok, but not better than their last three. Victim and the closer are really good
    November 2 04:34 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Did u ever think PT were gonna reunite?! I never thought Id see the day..
    November 1 06:37 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah just today theres new Mastodon and War on Drugs, and I still have to hear the new Grouper and My Morning Jacket. Dream Theater dropped a new one recently too, cautiously optimistic that it will be decent haha
    October 29 02:01 PM
  • TalonsOfFire The new Kayo Dot is very up and down quality wise for me. Probably their most metal which I was surprised at, cause I thought they were more electronic now. But thats the fun thing about Kayo Dot, ya never know what they'll do next haha
    October 28 04:36 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I may have thought they were when I tried their first album a while ago. Illusory Walls is good! A lot going on, I?ll have to give a few more listens to let it sink in.
    October 25 08:03 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Isn?t it screamo? I don?t listen to that kind of stuff anymore, but I?ll give it a try
    October 20 07:47 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Interesting, I?ll check
    October 13 11:54 PM
  • TalonsOfFire For the record my current rating is an estimation based on the released singles, which accounts for over half the album though. I?d say check them out on Spotify and see what you think. They?re a step up from Blasphemy. Toby also got a couple members of maudlin back which is cool.
    October 5 07:20 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Sounds interesting, I'll give a listen
    September 21 05:21 PM
  • Artuma hell yeah! that album is a wild ****ing ride. have you listened to their second album?
    September 20 05:31 AM
  • TalonsOfFire You'd like the new Big Red Machine if you haven't heard of them, it's a collab between a guitarist from The National and Justin Vernon from Bon Iver
    August 30 08:53 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Ah right! I've been meaning to jam the new WitTR
    August 29 12:42 AM
  • TalonsOfFire True that! The first half of Mombasa especially is gorgeous, they?re such talented songwriters. The rhythm section stands on the whole album too, which is always nice
    August 24 07:41 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah! The Gnashing is probably my least fav actually haha, but it does get quite good in the second half. I'll listen to the new Rolo Tomassi song, they're great.
    August 21 10:31 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah I love it, first half especially blows me away. It's my new favorite from them, with Sunbather a close second. The new Alora Crucible (Toby Driver) is great too, kinda similar to They Are the Shield and almost all instrumental.
    August 21 01:04 PM
  • TalonsOfFire It's totally my kind of music, especially for spring and summer, like a perfect marriage of blissful 60s psychedelic pop rock and ethereal ambient electronic music, also with big Slowdive and mbv influences. The glitch parts I could take or leave tbh
    June 1 01:25 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah I find my mindset is better when I?m away from the internet. I?m ok, some challenging things to deal with but trying to be optimistic. Sweet Trip is making things good haha
    May 31 12:23 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Hey Mongi how ya been? I?m enjoying the f out of the new Sweet Trip, you gotta check it out. Perfect pick me up from these dystopian times haha
    May 28 06:32 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Hey Mongi, I've been keeping up with new movies, playing Last of Us 2, and helping the parents around the house. Listening to lots of music of course. Still job searching too, hoping something will happen before next summer. The staff number 1 has been a surprise to me the past few years. For some reason, I'm the only one who voted for The Slow Rush, thought it would be more popular given how loved Tame Impala are.
    December 30 11:52 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Thanks, yeah it is improving and I'll make a full recovery thankfully. I'm sorry to hear about your ear and if it's permanent, be careful and use ear protection! Hard to believe the year is almost over, I already made my end-of-the-year list for the staff year-end feature
    December 2 04:36 AM
  • TalonsOfFire I've been job searching, listening to lots of music, watching movies and TV, and getting into some interesting reading material. Been recovering from a leg injury these past few weeks but it's mostly healed now which is nice!
    November 29 07:16 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Hey Mongi how you been?
    November 28 05:17 PM
  • Pheromone For sure. In england the amount of ****s who refuse to believe in corona's existence / mask wearing etc etc. gets draining. I'm frequenting sput more than i have since 2014 so its been a nice distraction, as well as discovering new music for the first time in forever. Feel like I haven't seen you around too much lately, though I guess our tastes differ
    October 28 09:35 PM
  • Pheromone Ton of my friends are doing exactly the same - it's a real s***ty time to be looking for employment. I'm good though, had a long period of self-isolation weigh heavy on me for a bit and ive been awful at uni work - but - good for the most part
    October 28 09:23 PM
  • Pheromone yo mong hows life
    October 28 09:01 PM
  • Artuma totally agree man that split defines gorgeous, especially the deer leap side. glad you're digging!
    August 21 06:40 AM
  • Artuma i've always had a huge dislike towards their vocals tbh but they did sound pretty good on that album
    August 9 06:51 PM
  • Artuma yeah uh not a huge fan of them but i figured that album could be pretty good. it was alright
    August 8 12:06 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Cool will do!
    July 18 09:12 PM
  • Artuma i mean, there are lots of same qualities as city of caterpillar in their pre-adss stuff but yeah, in general their sound is a lot slicker and more coherent. can't beat them dynamics coc provides though
    July 10 01:08 PM
  • Artuma right on buddy, the new one is one of their best for sure and my favourite since a dead sinking story. footprints is still their career highlight for me though

    May 3 03:31 AM
  • TalonsOfFire I'm enjoying the new Katatonia a lot yea
    April 25 02:32 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah! That album's magical
    April 16 09:50 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Trying to keep my mind busy in some way while in quarantine and wrote a short review for Universalis
    March 26 06:20 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Same with Massachusetts, all businesses besides essential ones like hospitals and grocery stores are supposed to close
    March 23 09:17 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Check out Electric Wizard and the first three albums by The Sword for some quality stoner and doom. And the rest of the high rated '70s Sabbath albums
    March 19 08:43 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Hey you too, at least there's lots of time for music listening!
    March 19 08:35 PM
  • OmairSh Hey Mongi, what's up man? How've you been? Staying safe in all this corona s***storm I hope, haha? I have a Pakistani music list up with some stuff you might like. You can check it out if you're interested, whenever you get a chance https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=673174
    March 18 05:11 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Cool I'll check them out
    March 16 01:48 AM
  • TalonsOfFire I heard some songs here and there, what album do you recommend I start with?
    March 14 03:08 PM
  • Artuma thanks man, i really liked ishmael
    March 13 03:54 PM
  • parksungjoon a whole bunch of music. perhaps you'll find something up your alley here? :]
    February 23 12:05 AM
  • parksungjoon https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=190800
    February 22 10:26 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I wouldn?t be surprised if my rating for it goes up. Gone In Bloom And Bough and Long The Desert Mile are stunning
    February 5 06:06 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Nice I didn?t even know they were dropping something new
    January 26 04:08 AM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah, I love Lie in the Sound too
    December 21 06:32 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I've been listening to Different Stars for years but never thought to check out their others for some reason, which I did very recently, glad for it cause all their albums are great
    December 21 06:15 PM
  • CaptainDooRight hi bro how are you?? can i share my new trvth album with you? https://trvth.bandcamp.com/album/inordinate-and-surpassing
    December 12 08:43 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I tried them both before but couldn't get into it. I'm hardly ever in the mood for metal/core anymore. I'll try again at some point. Don't worry they'll both be high on the year-end list I reckon, very popular albums on this site.
    December 11 01:25 AM
  • TalonsOfFire I feel like I?m back in my angsty high school years when I listen to a band like JEW now. But I?ll give the new one a try, I remember liking their 2016 album well enough.
    November 27 08:34 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I?m trying out some modern pop albums with an open mind before the decade is over, but a lot of it is not for me! I wasn?t into her full album but the new Billie Eilish song is good yea
    November 27 06:00 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah me too. You gonna review Universalis? I just noticed it never got reviewed, I think it's their only LP that doesn't have one.
    November 25 12:07 AM
  • Artuma it's really great man. i think i like it even more than universalis but i still gotta revisit that one some time soon
    November 24 11:09 AM
  • TalonsOfFire I'm not really sure what else to rate it, sounds the same as always. They could use a break and mix things up next time around. I think they've covered the fluffy twinkly sentimental aesthetic thoroughly at this point haha
    November 23 03:24 PM
  • Artuma oh boy, totally missed it. thanks man, will absolutely check
    November 16 03:19 PM
  • TalonsOfFire They're like the most prolific band this decade haha, will have to listen soon
    November 16 03:15 PM
  • TalonsOfFire New Alcest is solid, maybe I'm a pansy but I miss the post-rock and shoegaze/dream pop side of them tho. Don't the troll 1s happen with any big release?
    October 25 07:27 PM
  • TalonsOfFire New Alcest and Amon Tobin tomorrow, very exciting!
    October 24 08:36 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Alcest hasn't dropped yet right?
    October 22 10:08 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I'll have to check those out!
    October 20 04:31 PM
  • Artuma yeah man it's just an incredible album, glad you're digging it too. agree on lights on the hill, i hope they play that and nightwalkers when i see them tomorrow. it'll be immense.
    October 13 01:21 PM
  • TalonsOfFire It's solid
    October 4 07:31 PM
  • TalonsOfFire New Nick Cave album just dropped, it's a beat
    October 4 01:01 AM
  • TalonsOfFire I'll do CoL when I get in more of a post-metal mood. I've been enjoying the new American Football a lot, definitely my favorite from them and it reminds me of Bark Psychosis a bit.
    October 1 10:17 PM
  • TalonsOfFire The vocals are definitely my least favorite part of it, he goes overboard in places. Sometimes he can still sound great tho
    September 29 09:41 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I love Lovelorn Crime too. But what about Universal Truth and Continuum? Those both have some amazing moments imo
    September 29 01:47 PM
  • TalonsOfFire That average is crazy high. I guess about time for me to check that band out
    September 22 01:55 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I got to hear the new Opeth too, and that has some of the best songs of their 2010s albums. I'm thinking it's better than Pale Communion or Sorceress, but gotta hear it more times. I'm gonna review it (surprise surprise lol)
    September 8 11:28 PM
  • TalonsOfFire Yeah the production sucks. Something Opal, Lonesome's Way, and Turbine are neat songs but the rest is pretty blegh with some decent moments here and there. I also just heard the new Swans double album promo today, and it did nothing for me.
    September 8 11:27 PM
  • TalonsOfFire So how about that new Kayo Dot right lol
    September 7 12:51 AM
  • TalonsOfFire It's a high quality CD version, the digital version is gonna have extra interludes which I'm curious about. They'll probably just be nonsense like the Aenima ones but who knows
    August 25 11:57 PM
  • TalonsOfFire The new Tool leaked! It's amazing, easily best album of the past couple years. They pulled it off God bless 'em
    August 25 10:22 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I'd love if he made another maudlin album yea, Part the Second is amazing
    August 15 10:18 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I bet you're not gonna be able to stand the new Kayo Dot haha. I have the promo copy, and it's like the most disjointed melodramatic thing I've heard in a while
    August 14 02:22 PM
  • Artuma i got into state faults around the release of resonate/desperate and they've been on my rotation ever since. great band
    August 3 03:41 PM
  • Artuma yea man, i recently had the same feeling with the number twelve looks like you
    August 3 03:08 PM
  • Artuma i'll be sure to do that, thanks. you really seem in love with them haha
    August 3 02:53 PM
  • TalonsOfFire I'll try Cave In, Manchester Orchestra, and State Faults at some point. I might jam more M83 first tho
    July 31 07:04 PM
  • Artuma yeah that album was indeed really really pretty, thanks for the rec
    July 17 11:09 AM
  • Artuma well, to be fair i've mostly only jammed hurry up we're dreaming but it's a pretty wonderful album. haven't really listened to it in years but i still jam wait every now and then, one of the most gorgeous songs out there. glad you dig!
    July 16 06:33 PM
  • budgie you're the raddest of the red
    July 5 02:27 AM
