They are awesomer than your band. So what if Davey Havoc (The lead singer) is gay. It only enables him to sing higher. This band kicks ass. Their newest CD Sing the Sorrow is the only CD I listen to now.

'Band' doesn't always mean musical band.

My favorite band has to be one of Radiohead, Sigur Ros and Muse. It moves back and forth between them but if I had to go and live on a island for 10 years, I'd probably take my Muse cds.

That Emperor CD is great.

It's the only one I have by them. Can your recommend any of their other works? I listened to one of their more recent albums in a store and I didn't like it nearly as much.

and2000x
10-30-03, 04:00 PM
Emperor's new stuff, although I enjoy it, sucks in terms of black metal and doesn't have that epic and 'evil' atmosphere. Avoid their albums "IX Equilibrium" "Reverence" and "Prometheus". While these new albums are infinitely more complex, they end up sucking due to their own technical overload.

"Nightside Eclipse" is their best album by far, but try "Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk". Anthems was the first album in black metal that was coined "Viking metal". Anthems has cleaner vocals, machine gun drums and fair production, but it carries that distinct Emperor feel in terms of emotional weight. Try listening to it first.

"Wrath Of The Tyrant" is a gem you might like to pick up. It is their old demo tape set to CD that sounds like they were playing under water. It is very atmospheric and epic, but you might be turned off by the horrible production.

If you enjoyed Nightside Eclipse, you REQUIRE Sacramentum: Far Away From The Sun. It's in the same vein, but Sacramentum uses an At The Gates/In Flames melodic metal style combined with epic keyboards and rather stale vocals (don't worry, they aren't that bad). The cover art for Far Away From The Sun is actually done by the same artist that did the Nightside Eclipse cover.

Well, any band who has the morality to put their music above their politics is exceptional in my mind. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Weezer are incredible bands. Radiohead...


...Radiohead had a very bright future with 'Pablo Honey', and then they got ambitious and made the bends, which was awesome. But then they made 'Ok Computer'.

'Ok Computer'=steaming pile of lefty shit.

All music is political, regardless of the author being aware of it. Art reflects the values of the composer, thus it is bound to their political idealogy. This could be straight out Rage Against The Machine politics or it could be Snoop Dogg (all gangster rap prizes hedonism and hyper-masculinity, with a touch of anti-authoritarian individuality.)

Anthems was the first album in black metal that was coined "Viking metal".

Uh...no.

Hammerheart was released in 1990. Enslaved's first album came out in 1993. Hell, even Amon Amarth predates Anthems to the Welkin.

Emperor is quite good, though. My complaint is their lack of structure leads to a very muddy sound, that really only works if you listen to the album straight through.

But then, now that mp3 is bastardizing album structure, this is not such a very bad thing.

and2000x
11-01-03, 08:59 PM
You are correct Xev. I'm going by what I heard in an old article regarding Viking metal. Some don't consider Hammerheart to be viking metal, but just black metal. Beats me. :confused:

What do you mean by lack of structure?

Xev
11-01-03, 09:21 PM
*Shrugs*
Bathory fans are that way. Some love the Viking themes and more melodic sound that Quorthon introduced in '88, some won't consider that as Bathory.
"Viking metal" is still regarded by some as a slur (read: Manowar) and since Bathory is such an institution they won't use the term to refer to it.

Structure...perhaps the wrong word? Later Emperor is even worse with this, but the riffs don't seem to relate to each other. When the song itself is rather simple, it works, but they'll mix fairly rhythmic percussion with keyboards that shift tempo often.
I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well. Emperor just cannot be chopped up into individual songs - and I love this about them.

Matter of rather personal taste, I suppose. In general, I like my music crisp and melodic instead of all over the place.

No, art reflects the human spirit. Sure, politics can affect the human spirit, but political music goes out of style with the times. It also splits your audience in half--some agree with it, some don't.

Notice how no 'great' bands were openly political.

This could be straight out Rage Against The Machine politics or it could be Snoop Dogg (all gangster rap prizes hedonism and hyper-masculinity, with a touch of anti-authoritarian individuality.)

How about the anti-Christian, pro-drug statements of the Beatles?

How about the war, death, and afterlife themes of Black Sabbath?

How about the existential exploration espoused by Led Zepplin?

They don't make it a chore to include politics within their music, but the sentiments are still there. Music is a social statement, therefore it is tied to the composer's person political aims.

As for Weezer, their style is an obvious liberal nihilism (or even a mockery of it.)

Notice how the Beatles became famous for their pop diddies, and that the music that was remotely political wasnt nearly as succesful as the pop music.



How about the war,

Did you know the song "War Pigs" had original non-political lyrics but was changed to capitalize on the anti-war sentiment of the youth?

I don't mean that they shouldn't try to be successful by capitalizing on the youth, but its hyprocritical to play both sides of the street.

death, and afterlife themes of Black Sabbath?

Those afore stated items have no relevance to politics.

How about the existential exploration espoused by Led Zepplin?

Notice how at the end of Led Zeppelin's career in the later mid seventies when they became more political their success began to trail off?



They don't make it a chore to include politics within their music, but the sentiments are still there.

They may be in their heads at the time, but the key is to not let it dominant their music.

Music is a social statement, therefore it is tied to the composer's person political aims.

It is only tied to political aims if the composer wishes it so.

As for Weezer, their style is an obvious liberal nihilism (or even a mockery of it.)

Liberal nihilism?

Weezer's obvious style is pop music about boys and girls and teenage life.

Political can be used in the broadest sense. When John Lennon calls Jesus a greasy fascist, he's making a political statement.

When Weezer writes songs soley about consumer goods and "relationships", they are making a political statement about the direction of life.

When Bathory writes a song about the joy of freedom, he is making a political statement about what is valuable.

When Avril Lavrenge sings ad nauseaum about boys and sex, she is making a political statement about what a woman's role should be.

Music is a social endeavor, thus cannot be seperated from politics. The Nazis loved Wagner for the style of his music (later Wagner is very fascistic). Sibelius' "Finlandia" was played as an act of rebellion towards the Russian occupiers. Mozart's comedic opera "Marriage of Figaro" was banned in pre-revolutionary France for the way it mocked the nobility.

You want to castrate art, but this is impossible. Art is inherently political - the only question is whether one has the subtlety to see the politics.

Dear Xev--though I do admire your swagger, you still don't make much sense.

Sure, an important part of art is interpretation, but half of your afore stated examples are just that--an interpretation.

'Let Go'.

So? As my early English lit teacher put it, you can interpret Beowulf as a diatribe against bad sword makers, you simply have to be able to support your interpretation.

I honestly doubt Avril Lavigknee thought about a womans role in society when she produced her multi-platinum hit album
'Let Go'.

I doubt she thinks about anything, so what is your point? Do you think the transcriber of Beowulf had to be thinking "oh, I am going to transcribe this poem that has Absurdist ramifications" in order for those ramifications to BE there?

No.

If a mother tells her daughter not to play so roughly, do you think she is consciously thinking about a woman's role in society?

Unlikely.

linkin park is sorely 5 years behind on that rap-rock thing.

there is no such thing as "rap-metal." people need to understand that linkin park is NOT metal at all.

i cant stand asking someone what kind of music theyre into having them respond "metal" and then elaborating on their interests in bands only to have them state linkin park as one of their main. linkin park is a load of bullshit which is just an imitation of imitation which is LONG overdue for death. someone needs to put a couple bullets into the head of that rap-rock crossover shit because it's still moving, unfortuneately. Now that I think about it, numetal is still kicking, too. someone should just put the two ideas into a barrel and unload. I'm personally sick of it. I feel like puking.

Everyone has their own taste in music, but this crap is so unbelievably shitty and yet they sell more albums than really great bands could ever aspire to. What the FUCK? I could sit here and continue to ponder the reasons why things are so fucked up, but then I just realize that people are shallow. Fuck rap-rock.

Did I offend you personally in such a way that your ability to properly form sentences using words that correlate to the intended message has diminished to a stupid and unhealthy slur? I think trying to decipher that message has made me lose a few braincells in the process. Fuck your shitty taste in music, pal. I never once said "it was gay."

I used to like Slipknot. I used to like Spineshank. I used to like Deftones(and I don't have anything against them, still). All of those bands have "rapping" in them and I tell you that Linkin Park is a massive load of bullshit. It's so bland!! How can anyone think this crap is good?! I mean...maybe some of the lyrics can be poetic or something, but ya know I'd rather read my own lyrics to myself than read through that crap! Who gives a fuck, man? No one cares.

Excuse me for breathing your air. I think I'll log off now and go listen to "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath." I have to remind myself of who set the standard for this genre of music.

ewww. Audio slave sucks. and Garbage are garbage :p
Morello could play the guitar in circles around Linkin Park guitarists. I suggest you first listen to them before you shut them out and Garbage is a lot more respected than Linkin Park is. Face it, beyond catchy songs Linkin Park is your by the books tragedy band with over grown cry babies....but goddamn them they make some catchy ass songs I like listening to.

But to compare the skills of Audioslave's members against Linkin Park is ludacris. Chester may be able to scream but Cornell can peel the paint of the walls when he lets loose. He has the most recognizable voice in the industry today along with one of the most pertienet guitarists of the 90s, Tom Morello.

oh god, Korn even more shitter

While not shitty (their eccentric distorted bass playing is unique) it is disheartening that after 5 albums their sound remains the same. You'd think after 5 albums the lead would get rid of some of his issues by now but no...same old songs about pain and hurt and so on and so forth. As it stand "Follow the leader" is their best album so far IMO.

Okay, now simply because I haven't posted much here in the last while and I feel like talking about how dumb the rest of you are (yes, it's sarcasm, don't get all pissy) --- here are the bands you've all listed that I think suck shit.

linkin park. (i) every song sounds the same. (ii) whiny, bitchy lyrics that only dumbass teenagers fall for. (iii) every song sucks!

pat metheny. Okay, so it's much better than a lot of the other shite that's been posted, but dude, I can't stand pat. For one, it's boring jazz. For it's time I'm sure it was genius, but I mean, come on! In the 70s Shakti was around if you really need that kind of jazz. And Zakir is the master, so Shakti takes Pat by a mile! Plus, I have a special hatred for metheny because when I've been in Europe, EVERY GODDAMN music store's jazz section is filled with this. I can't find anything original/new/good!!!

sigur ros. boring.

incubus. boring.

darkness. okay so they're not the worst - or even shit - but they're ridiculously over rated. Whenever I hear/see them (which is fairly frequently, my sister loves them as does a good friend) I can't help but think they're doing this all as a joke, making fun of Van Halen and such. If they aren't, they're just kind of weak. For starters, having the lead guitarist be the singer in that kind of band sucks shit. It means no cool solos underneath the singing. And the only solos he does do are short and very, very cliche.

interpol. boring, standard music.

audioslave. Dude. Please.

manson. On principle alone I can't stand him. There once was a band called Marilyn Manson. Then people started to refer to the singer as Manson. So he went along with the image. It's like David Bowie for depressed kids.

Thank you kindly, I love you all...

here are the bands you've all listed that I think suck shit.

audioslave. Dude. Please.I felt good for a minute there. Someone sprang to Audioslave's defense with a very articulate explanation. I agree that Chris Cornell and Tom Morello are both gifted, highly versatile artists. Not one hit wonders either, both shined in their previous bands. But now you come along again and dismiss them -- just like the Psycho, without a word of explanation.

Come on now, "dude," the level of this discourse has risen. You've got to say something more than just "I don't like them so I hereby decree that they suck."

As for the other interesting comments... I still won't pick on the Psycho for his love of Linkin Park. His inability to articulate why he doesn't like our music, yes, but his love of Linkin Park, no. :) "In the End" was a masterpiece that touched a lot of people. Even if it was a one-hit wonder, it qualifies them for greatness. DJ's say that in most years, with no coordination, just synergy, one song becomes the anthem of the entire nation's high school graduating class. "In the End" was it for that year. Easy to see why, "I've tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't really matter," says a lot about today's high school experience. So anyone's irrational love of Linkin Park may be the result of having that one song etched in their soul forever. I say: let them be.

Besides, the video for "In the End" is one top two or three videos, indeed one of the very few even decent videos, of the past ten years.

Metallica, yeah, of course. If you'd bugged me long enough I would certainly have eventually thrown their name in the ring. And Black Sabbath, thanks for the support on that one. Interestingly enough, we discovered Metallica about twenty years ago... on their "Master of Puppets" tour when they opened for Ozzy Osbourne in Long Beach! What a double bill!

I'd have to say that my favorite right now is The Living End
there's nothing wrong with Linkin Park, they have talent, not my favorite, but I respect them a lot, especially for somehow keeping clean lyrics
and right now, as my as I love Hit That by the Offspring, I can't call them a favorite since that's really the only really great song I've found off their new cd, but overall they are an awesome band...
Llama has also been a favorite of mine for quite some time, and it's a bonus that no one's ever heard of them

One of there best songs is a 24 minute long masterpeice called odyssey , based on the greek myth

Awakenings-

Needless to say, another day has passed away
Yet everything, and nothing, has changed
Awake I lie, my thoughts get lost up in the sky
Needless to say, nothing will change...

Maybe a mystic - with fortunes to tell...
Surrender my coin at the old wishing well...
Maybe the stars will align in the night...
To show me the path that is right

'Would've been's and 'could've been's
they waste my days away
the colors of my life dissolve and fade to gray

So many paths of promise
Indecision poisons my mind
If only I had seen the signs - so blind

Yet I must journey on - on and on

A haunting vision torments me
It smothers and steals my dreams
I see an old man in the mirror
cold and bitter starring back at me

Here I am - at the crossing of life I stand
On my own - looking down the road
Hear my cry - answer me
Still I'm searching yet the truth is unknown - though the night is cold
I walk the road alone

Hold me close until my fear subsides.
Yah I might be the only one left alive.
Oh pull me out of this sullen field. Yes.

I might be too close.

I might be too close.

We’re all alone.
We are alone.
But I don’t know your location.
So many ghosts have come and gone.
They left a ringing in my ear.
We are alive.
The world is ice.
This is a strange vocation.

But I might be too close.

I might be too close.

I can feel you, Mother.
Oh I’m so near you, Mother.

We were all so brave on the outside.
Oh we painted our very own meaning of love
in our letters of blood.

Oh Yes

It goes so fast, like a bomb blast.
The conviction of the righteous is gone.

Yah it goes so fast, like a bomb blast.
The conviction of the righteous is gone.

Yah we are alone
We’re all alone

But I don’t know your location.
So many ghosts they have come and gone.
They left a ringing in my ear.
To put the blade to those you love
This is a strange vocation

I might be to close
I might be to close

I can feel you Mother
Oh I’m so near you Mother

We were all so brave on the outside.
Oh we painted our very own meaning of love
In our letters of blood.

(Bomb blasts)

Oh-ho Yes

We painted our very own meaning in letters of blood

(Bomb blasts)

I saw the frightened faces of the boys coming in for the kill.
So many more of them left to cut down before we take that hill.

And they said,
"Any man here with a merciful thought in his head will be shot where he stands."
So we carried out faithfully, down to the letter, all of the Colonel’s demands.

All the Colonel’s commands.
Yeah all of the Colonel’s demands

And in the end we all knew we’d be getting what we got

to the devil by a hangman’s rope with the whole wretched lot.

It's the esoteric lyrics and the provocative yet subtle music that appeals to me most, I haven't listened that much to Tool but enough to know that it's one of my favourites-
What I've noticed about this kind of music is that it truely does grow on you. It doesn't neccesarily grip you instantly with a catchy melody and a catchy chorous, rather as you get more and more immersed in the music and the lyrics you appretiate it more and more with each listen.

I also listen to among others Yes, Pink Floyd, and Genesis in the prog rock genre. But I very often listen to artists like Simon + Garfunkle, John Denver, Bob Dylan, etc.. even Marley, Bunny and Pete aswell as some less known Reggae groups. And while I'm mentioning artists I can say I even enjoy certain Hiphop music aswell, but only the ones with intelligent and provocative texts such as those of Immortal Technique and dead prez.

While I'm on a roll I can mention that I think Beethovens 9th symphony is one of the greatest musical masterpieces ever composed. I frequently listen to both L.V.B and Mozart, but also other classical composers.

its pretty obvious you prefer lighter stuff than me. i mean Incubus, Linkin Park and Smashing Pumpkins sound almost exactly the same.
Incubus sounds some what clam and Linkin Park screams alot and I don't know what Smashing Pumpkins sounds like.

in the larger scheme of things they are quite close. meaning if you like one you probably can at least listen to any of the other two.

Depends....I would say not really if you follow your music quite closely because even at first look there are significant differences between the two bands and most kids who listen to Linkin Park are more into Limp Bizket and Korn, not the mellow and subtle sounds of Incubus.

I never heard any Incubus song where he screams....... or does he ever scream in his songs......

Listen to their very early stuff. Songs like "Shaft" or "vitamin"...their sound took a great turn in their 3rd album Make Yourself and it went completely experimental, and IMO their peak of creativity and talent, in their 4th release Morning View

Their 5th release A Crow Left of the Murder is more mainstream and very relaxed with few hard edged songs....

...but if you desire "smash your head into the wall cause its so good" Guitar work with damn good lyrics there is always Rage against the Machine, Tom Morello is god.

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones easily defeat all previously mentioned bands due to the vulgar amount of talent the members each have.

For the more dj inclined (or just those of you who like good music), Jel (of anticon fame) is amazingly good listening. Check greenball and greenball2.

And you can never go wrong with Johnny Cash, Roger Miller, or Jim Croce.

who is this "pinback" you speak of

fadingCaptain
04-06-04, 09:32 AM
Pinback are former members of 'three mile pilot' and 'heavy vegetable'. They are incredibly talented musicians that play a hybrid of music. The songs interweave an abundance of melodies with seemingly effortless abandon. They have several EPs and 2 full lengths. 'Blue screen life' is a good introduction to the many facets of the band.

The live show must be experienced. The two main members interchange instruments and vocal parts while the crowd joins in on songs like 'rousseau' - chanting "the drones are near! the drones are near!"

Ah I love em. Check em out.

A perfect Circle is Maynard from tool and a bunch of other musicians who play more mellow music than tool, but stick to the same concepts.

Apocalyptica is four guys from somewhere in Europe who started off by boing Metallica covers on cellos, but now they have their own stuff. They encouraged me to play some chello. I enjoyed it.
