 | Demon of the Fall cultural relevance adjacent curiosity checks are important sometimes, but yes it was pretty bad as expected
|
| Demon of the Fall I will consider this, thanks... still need to (priority) chk Serpent Column's debut! And listen to Kathodos again
|
| Demon of the Fall Okay. Sounds like a tough sell at the minute simply because I have a backlog even where DM is concerned and I haven't even listened to MA or Immo for like a year or something, lol. Interesting rec tho, cheers
|
 | evilford Lol u know it bro. Most obnoxious band of all time
|
| Demon of the Fall where's your Leichenschrei rating? It's on my list and just noticed you don't have it rated (RYM)
|
 | bighubbabuddha We both rate Piper At The Gates of Dawn and Bad Moon Rising as a 5 :D
|
| Demon of the Fall Hmm, yeah I do vaguely remember only because I recall making a joke about 'false advertising' on the account of their name. Strange. Maybe we were talking about it somewhere else?
|
| Demon of the Fall nope, not heard... why were you assuming I had? Does seem popular with my RYM 'friends' (all Sputters) despite the fairly low no. of total ratings
|
 | Azazzel saw you talking about database chart surfing Sonemic in 2020 to discover stuff. still the same or got a better method? been finding good stuff finessing the exclusively 'influence' not dominant genre tag and limiting years like so https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/1990-1994/s:melodic-death-metal/
|
 | Rowhaus sick rec bro that was a wild ride lol
|
 | Dewinged Tec did you hear that Sleepwalker record already? It might speak to you, make you feel feelings.
|
| Dewinged Oh my oh my that looks indeed amazing dude, thanks! Hopefully the kid gives me a respite tomorrow so I can jam it in peace.
|
| Demon of the Fall veers into the 'wrong kind of flashy tech' too frequently for me, it's a touchy area... also, the production was slight off at points I felt, lacked oomph
|
 | nash1311 I?m bad with properly identifying/naming jazz subs lol but I mostly prefer smooth/cool/fusion over free/bebop etc. Coleman is the first of the free jazz artists I?m seeming to enjoy. Was going to try Albert Ayler next. I gravitate toward the slower darker Smokey bar sounds but also Bitches Brew is prob my fave all time so I?m not opposed to busy either in the right context
|
| nash1311 Hi friend! You have great taste. Would appreciate any and all jazz recs any time. I have also Czech?d your lists. Cheers!
|
| Demon of the Fall I can confirm Dead Congregation slap! Perfect for a day of hell ? ?
|
| Demon of the Fall I?m betting it was. I keep forgetting about that band. Added to my wishlist
|
| Demon of the Fall accidentallyd your comment! Oops. Was it Dead Congregation? Briefly saw it before deleting.
|
| Demon of the Fall Hmm. Okay then. I?ll accept that because it?s a high bar (better than Tomb Mold for me tho). Slightly different flava regardless. My associated brainwave was The Cyclic Reckoning, but it seems you already dig that one
|
| Demon of the Fall oh and while I'm here, good call on Kostnateni... that album is fire!
|
| Demon of the Fall I have NEARLY finished adding my rating to RYM, honestly! (seriously I'm at 'We' alphabetically)
|
| Demon of the Fall have you heard 'Lustral Purge in Cerulean Bliss'? RYM is telling me no (realised RYM is waaaaaaay easier than checking here, oops) ' friends' = nil :-(
|
| Dewinged Nah I requested a wipe. I was a bit saturated and wanted to revisit my classics for a while. The avatar on the other hand... :(
|
| Demon of the Fall Doh! Yeah, thought you might have but my eyes deceived me / was on mobile so couldn?t ctrl f
|
| Demon of the Fall https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/50450/Murmuure-Murmuure/Have you heard this mate? You might have. Didn?t notice you after a quick rating skim
|
| Dewinged I asked the other staffers and no one answered so I'd say it's your time to shine my dear. Absolutely no rush though, life comes first!
|
| Dewinged Hey tec, you sure you don't wanna write a review for "Echoes" yourself? I am might take until next week to review it and since I already wrote up Arrival it would be cool if you did this one! If you don't wanna do it that's also fine, I'll definitely write smth for it soonish, but thought you may be interested in giving it a shot too, what say you friend?
|
 | GhandhiLion wait, wtf yachty released a psychedelic rock album
|
 | Colton claims to like experimental music, 2's Lil Yachty
|
| Dewinged hey man, just came across this album with someone saying "for fans of Serpent Column" and I immediately thought about you. They are from China and I only have skimmed a bit but they sound solid. Let's see what you think! https://hoplites.bandcamp.com/album/--2
|
| Demon of the Fall me neither, usually... Oceansize have something special about them though. I think the atypical post-rock structures and arrangements are really beautifully done. They manage to avoid a lot of the missteps modern prog bands make imo.
|
| Demon of the Fall came in here to say ... RYM would show you all my ratings for last year, rendering my explanation pointless!
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell Heyhey, have been running over some Thoughts post-Postgate, and tl;dr I'm sorry for piling on you. I don't think any of the individual content of those posts fell below the level of things you ( I) have said in past contexts, but more importantly there was a bad humour over the whole thing, and I'd like to apologise for that, especially since it got the collateral with Colton's usual stultified bs. You're a good dude and it was v unfair of me to let my attitude to the latter rub off onto you - maybe this site does need more Actual Music Discourse and fewer stews hmm
|
| Colton I only talk about Bowie with people who acknowledge the greatness of Life On Mars and something tells me you're one of the people that doesn't acknowledge it
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Sooo refer to this [incoming link], but editing privileges don't actually correlate with site status afaik - after you've made a certain number of edits, they tend to go straight through https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1067520
|
| Demon of the Fall Good tip, thanks! Yeah it reminded me of Drum?s Not Dead era Liars in places but less consistently rhythmic and a greater emphasis on abstract noisiness.
|
| Demon of the Fall we rated Diamond Eyes on the same day, how curious... pretty accurately as well, haha
|
 | parksungjoon https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/mal-waldron-jimmy-jackson-eberhard-weber-fred-braceful/the-call/
|
| Demon of the Fall Gospel is cheating, I have Moon 5d ?? but yes it is unusual. I?ll be back to my old self in no time (not added many ratings of late, hate doing it on mobile).
|
| parksungjoon https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=199679
|
| Colton it was originally unprovoked but now it is
|
| Colton there's varying degrees of dogs*** in that list but your #1 takes the cake honestly. you shoutboxed me asking me to **** you up because you knew it's what you deserved after ranking such a flaccid soggy british failure so high
|
| Demon of the Fall I did explain in the thread (probably badly). I don't actually want to rate anything else now, current selection looks pretty!
|
| Colton just out of curiosity what is your favourite album of the year that also has relatively few ratings and thus an easily damageable average?
|
 | neekafat Sounds great! Yeah I definitely need to get on that Criterion stuff, and dont worry I need a little time to get things settled down too hahaha
|
| neekafat Yes so down! I haven't actually seen any of his features so I'd love to finally have an excuse to get on that
|
| neekafat Yeah that?s what I meant! And I?m not sure, I?d bet you?ve already seen most of the ones I?d be suggesting, hbu??
|
| JohnnyoftheWell woo okay can we share the rowdy seats at the back of the spacebus i am excited. and yesyes, learnt to love 2021 at the last minute but am finding it easier and easier to forget how every week that passes. big times
|
| JohnnyoftheWell oh that was actually in ref to your modal rating for the apparently 2.5 average year lol, dw your frequent online presence sparks joy but there's no way i thought you were enough of an e-boi for glitch princess ;]
|
| JohnnyoftheWell yeah, it's funny how in a site so dominated by heavy music, a relatively small number of people go in hard for noise rock outside of Daughters, SY and I guess the Jesus Lizard hmmm. much work to be done on that front (am still fighting for the supremacy of that pie chart slice over alt rock...)
|
| JohnnyoftheWell hot damn, cool s***! v cool - gives me black eyes vibes in places, albeit slower and less shrieky
|
| neekafat I would kill to join you on one sometime!
|
| neekafat Hahaha that's awesome dude! Love it, loved your ranked director lists (:
|
| neekafat are you just like a major film buff or do you work in the industry??
|
| Dewinged It's 1972 so definitely! Coming next year!
|
 | Pikazilla Nice! I also checked Leshiy and it was good!
|
| Dewinged Really good stuff man, I think I will bump it even more if I find time for more listens. There's just so much music out there bro...
|
 | Atari I like anything as long as it?s done well haha. I?ll check it out, cheers!
|
 | SandwichBubble It's true. I'm a fraud who has only heard their (awesome) live album. Since you reminded me, I'll check it as soon as I can.
|
 | EyesWideShut your the only dude who's rankings I trust and enjoy. You put that heart into it.
|
 | DDDeftoneDDD lol of course its all over the place - https://f4.bcbits.com/img/0024359735_10.jpg - eheh - btw forgot to mention, although more jammy hardrock and playful, it made me think a lot of Mefitis.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD okay bro this can be my kind of jam. lol love the band's vibe too (pics, cover etc eheh)
|
| GhandhiLion I checked this before. Thanks for the rec though.
|
| Colton every sweet trip album has fewer ratings than CIS
|
| Colton I can offer you a 4 in exchange for a Sweet Trip discog 5 otherwise it stays (I don?t remember the album but I remember when I heard it I thought it was maybe the worst album I?ve ever heard)
|
| GhandhiLion https://yvette.bandcamp.com/album/how-the-garden-grows
|
| JohnnyoftheWell hot damn boi, you got the wrong boi !! but i'm glad someone fixed you for it paha
|
 | Ryus sweeet much appreciated. excited to dive into them, probably going to start with "only angels have wings." thanks for the recs tecbro
|
| Ryus tec my man i come to you for film recs as well. some of my favorite films are woman in the dunes, texas chainsaw, eyes wide shut (nice profile pic), the master, and double indemnity. i like horror a lot, seen most of the obvious classics, but other than that i havent delved that deep into film so dont really know what genres/styles im partial to. any recs would be greatly appreciated!
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Been circling with mr. Grumpy on it. Will give it a go fs.
|
 | hal1ax ohh this is excellent! thanks so much. i'll watch these and report back at some point! and yea i rly should check Sophia's other work. although ive heard her other films aren't as good.
|
| hal1ax yoo had a question for you. i dont watch a lot of film but have been motivated lately to delve more into it. do you happen to have any recs similar to lost in translation? lol idk if that's considered mediocre or not by more inveterate cinema ppl. but basically like something that explores the whimsy and melancholy of a situationally contentious romance; maybe something a bit hypnagogic too? (LiT feels dream-like at times)
|
| EyesWideShut Tec, a mon of distinguished taste in film and music rankings. GOD DAMN THE SUN!
|
 | someone now wait a second, all of those are under 50 ratings
|
| someone love two of those albums, kinda on the fence about Circus Mort, never heard of Koenji Hyakkei, so i'll put thems up
|
| someone need some spicy juicy tasty recs of 50-100 ratings. could you throw me an album or two?
|
 | protokute There's a lot of them still on my watch list, but the most recent ones I watched that I discovered through you were Seconds (1966) and Woman In The Dunes (1964). Really liked both, specially the latter.
|
| protokute Man, just wanted to say I really like your reviews on Letterboxd, and I've been finding a lot of good films on your profile ;)
|
 | zakalwe Dig it. The band can really conjure up a sense of detachment and doing their own thing that makes them stand apart from countless others. Really like Science Beat. Cheers for the shout mate.
|
| zakalwe Indeed I absolutely loved The Unnatural World when I first heard it I was bowled over. It sadly doesn?t get played much now but it?s still a goodun. As a result I haven?t heard Sea of Worry so cheers for the heads up I?ll give it a go.
|
| Dewinged Right? It's a bit uniform, not much variation, no vocals, but that rythm section is ridiculous!
|
| Dewinged Haven't heard it myself (about to) but have you heard Black Market Brass? It came out in February this year. Sounds promising.
|
| zakalwe Definitely. When it came out I was tempted to five it on the principle it was a hell of a come back one of the best. It?s an amazing album.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD apparently only this band does neuropunk lmao it was a joke XD
|
| DDDeftoneDDD the reason I remain at 4 there is because they could do some twists in their sound fs...I feel...check the closer again f.e. it as more feeling...
|
| DDDeftoneDDD accidentallyd your shout X) damn Glennfiddish XD
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Lightning Bolt is a clothes brand...neuropunk will be the new s*** (not really ahaha) have fun
|
| DDDeftoneDDD ahahaha damn...I guess you haven't approached Expander correctly bro...
|
 | Winesburgohio hmm yes but what are your thoughts on I'm Thinking of Ending Things, and also Szerelem, and also I'm handsome - rym me your thoughts if the sputnik shoutbox proves inadequate if you need a generous and abundant amount of words that won't fit
|
| Demon of the Fall Are we complaining about good/great ratings now? I cannot catch a break on this website, lol. I was going to revisit anyway, but I listened to Laughing Stock again (and you may be onto something, for the record).
|
| Demon of the Fall I enjoyed Fun House, but mostly for the jazzy bits. The production on Raw Power is err raw? The album gets arty at times, yet it?s rendered unpleasant by the ?punk band in your front room production aesthetics. In other words I don?t love it myself.
|
| Demon of the Fall I see that Raw Power rating of yours, you can?t hide it like that by not commenting, haha.
|
 | theBoneyKing Not yet, I'm pretty busy and prioritizing other things but I will definitely prioritize them soon!
|
| Demon of the Fall Oh yeah. I?ve bitten off more than I can chew, need to take a step back and get through this mountain of filthy ?work? that needs completing.
|
| Demon of the Fall I think you inadvertently started me on a ?new? DM kick. Not sure how I feel about that yet!
|
| Dewinged lol ok, I have a confession to make tex, my man............ I haven't jammed it in full yet... I knowIknowIknow!! But it's so long that everytime I try to get into it I stare at my PS4 and end up playing Destiny. But I swear, I will give it a proper jam soon(ish).
|
| Demon of the Fall Hmm, well you did make the effort to shoutbox me, so maybe? There has to be a few recent releases worth checking.
|
 | DoofDoof neither do I - I really liked the State Faults last year and this didnt have that instant impact but it could definitely grow
|
| DoofDoof just a first listen rating for now ;) It had its moments, even sounded like Deftones a couple of times !!
|
| DoofDoof sorry dude will get to it today
|
| zakalwe It?ll be me first listen of the day mate. Nice one.
|
 | Lord(e)Po)))ts haha whatever, never gonna like them all! hamza was sick af tho, bout to jam the girthy one now
|
| Dewinged Just downloaded it! The cover already is giving me wild vibes haha, will check it later, thanks man!
|
 | TVC15 I'm sorry... I think I must've forgotten (pls don't make me undress)
|
 | garas Oh, hahaha! Alright I'll give them the highest priority for now. 4 releases... well, hopefully I can finish them up for tomorrow, but since I'm studying I can't guarantee it for 100%.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD I'm not sure of it yet, since I dig the debut much more.... :P
|
| Dewinged Oooh me don't know about Serpent Column, but will check! Those covers already speak to me ;)
|
| DoofDoof notice I used the term 'vocal approach' - it dunt qualify as a vocal 'performance'. Like an anti-performance, my average telephone call to an automated call centre is more animated
|
| DoofDoof such a boring vocal approach ye
|
 | Divaman Hey tectactoe, have you got a song for us this month? https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=191567
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Maybe, if you dig tomb mold f.e. it is doomy, but more on the death side.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD LMAO "workink" but mu work sucks ass! Do that album buddy!
|
| DDDeftoneDDD spinning it a looooot! m/ easy going but evil album
|
| DDDeftoneDDD totally bought on White Stones. Thanks! smooth, brilliantly paced, uncompromising.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD The vocalist is the dude from artificial brain (wich is a sick ass band from modern BDM)...your 3.5s means my 4s I guess, so that s awesome! These guys have more of a fun mood, Artificial Brain take the band's name concept to the end LMAO
|
| DDDeftoneDDD this White Stones dude is very very solid so far...tks for the rec... Opeth is def there...
|
| DDDeftoneDDD oh boy I love the dichotomy...this band was in the freeze for 20 years. I know what you re saying on the interludes, but their vibe are along many of the DM songs...always giving them a little twist.
|
| Atari enjoyed that TORRES! will get to your other rec when I have a chance :)
|
| DDDeftoneDDD LMAO I'm cheering for you! Good Luck XD. I'll jump on that White Stones from Opeth's bassist
|
| DDDeftoneDDD okay, you check Afterbirth if you have the guts and the nuts to see the post, gazey class in it.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD ahah yap...very much...its supposed to be a smooth osdm with psych vibes..."and I'm not a big Opeth fan to begin with" okay now you can do everything...that must be freeing ahaha
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Haven't you ever checked Morbus Chron's Sweven?...the band Sweven is their continuation? that soundoff is ugly af...wtf
|
| Atari Didn?t realize u dug Great Grandpa so much ;)
|
| Atari Lol, oops! Added to my phone now officially, I?ll add whichever one I did more to my recent rec list
|
| Dewinged Sounds amazing man, will check it tomorrow! Tx!
|
| Atari lol, I don't actually think that. but you have 2.5'd all my favorite albums so far this year ;) will check out these recs this week - cheers!
|
| Divaman Hey tectactoe, have you got a song for us this month? The theme is "Winter".
|
| Atari yeah I enjoyed that Beach Bunny... cheers!
|
| Atari Haha, just giving you a hard time. I?ll check that Beach Bunny!
|
| GhandhiLion What are some of your favourite silent films?
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Sputmetal is fairly reliable until core comes into the equation and then suddenly everything goes black. Got a rev up for it that you may enjoy ;]
|
| Divaman Hey tectactoe, have you got a song for us this month? https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=190606
|
| Demon of the Fall I was racking my brain and BINGO, check the Cryptopsy thread. I knew it was another big time DM album that wasn?t actually by ?guts. That would?ve haunted me had I not been able to recollect, lol.
|
| Demon of the Fall I replied to your Obscura post, but now it's buried on the previous page. I just wanted you to know someone actually bothered responding with (a tiny bit of) thought.
|
| Divaman We sure are. If you've got a rec, jump on in there.
|
| Divaman Hey tectactoe, have you got a SOTD for us? This month's theme is your favorite song of the 2010's.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD yeeeah...I mean now I'm feeling the jazzy drumming, which is pretty cool
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Indeed...the first obstacle to get through, is you guys hype. You get really offended by how simple and almost amateur it sounds...you have to relisten, and wait for the right time to listen freely.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Yeah I just eliminate, after a relisten, Devil Master, its fun but nothing special. Cover is nice though X)...3.5
