Nirvana - Come as You Are

This song makes me smile on the inside and out. The electric guitar is quite entrancing, the bass intoxicating, and the drums mesmorising. The vocals, and lyrics, of course, are quite obscure. Pity Kurt blew his pretty face off.

I'm still listening to Project 86 religiously. I think everyone should go to the store right now and buy one of their CD's. Or you can download a couple songs here.

[dagoth carlos]

im listening to jason miraz's "You And I Both" ...
Ahh... another whiny(but very talented non the less) guy on the guitar....

I find that line delicious because Project 86 are often grouped with the Christian Rock genre. Not that is a bad thing though.

At the moment, like I expected, I'm absolutely obsessed with Hurt's Vol. 1. Just the element of string arrangements to certain songs make them so much more powerful. They do just about everything as well, acoustic sad songs, acoustic happy songs, hard rock/metally songs, and straight forward rockers, to indieish stuff, namely on the track, Overdose. I strongly suggest listening to Danse Russe, Cold Inside, Rapture, and House Carpenter.

Enya - Now We Are Free
It's a song from the Gladiator Soundtrack, i like it
Also listening to Honour Him, same artist, same soundtrack

Listening to a band called Hotel Lights. I heard about them from my guitar teacher, who is a member of said band.

They are kind of indie mixed with chill '70s. I can't explain. Listen here. (The only thing myspace is good for: bands.)

[Ibis]

Nice Danny ... I'm listening to Hotel Lights now too. Chapel Hill, North Carolina. So do you have a MySpace of your own? You could connect up with us other Chorrol people there and then you'd have 2 purposes for MySpace.

Enya - May It BE
Off the LOTR soundtrack. Some of this operaish/classical type stuff isn't half bad

[Ibis]

Now I'm listening to Canon Rock by FunTwo that FuzzyKnight put as a link in the 'What You Tackling' thread here. I just love this song, so vibrant & upbeat .... I might make it my homepage music at MySpace if I can ever figure out how to do that. Gotta ask Doomed.

I'm currently listening to "In Fiction" by Isis. Almost 9 minutes of sweet music. It's off the Panopticon album, and I'm very happy that I purchased it off a whim.

The whole album is only 7 "songs" but the cd is nearly an hour long so that tells you how long the songs are. I call them "songs" just because they're more soundscapes than songs, they do have vocals but they're mixed behind the music so the words are unintelligable, they're basically another instrument. I just love the way they progress and texture the songs though, they mix peace and chaos elements really well, it's awe-inspiring.

But enough of my fanboyisms....

[Ibis]

Sounds nice Mallet. I've heard of this Isis band before (it's practically my name ) but have never checked them out. Maybe I will now. I like awe-inspiring music. I find some of the Celtic music to be that way although I cannot understand the Celtic/Gaelic words they are singing.

Tool - Intension

Finally bought 10,000 Days.

[The Metal Mallet]

Unlike what I heard from many other people, I found the new Tool album to be quite good. Sure, it's not too different from their previous album, but I could connect with the new songs much better, especially Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days, beautiful songs those two are.

The only actually song I couldn't really get into was Intension I liked Disposition better because it was shorter, Intension is too long for so little to happen, it ends rather nicely though.

[Zarrexaij]

I happen to like the new Tool album. Then again, I don't have any of their other albums. Grr, I hate being poor...

It's certainly focused on instrumentals.

I couldn't tell you which song I like the best, to be honest. I got into all of them.

Screaming Fist- Viletones

They were a really shocking punk band during the 70's that my dad used to listen to. They used to do things that scared, shocked and alienated the crowd, such as playing infront of a Nazi flag and naming the singer "Nazi Dog" (don't get this the wrong way though, they let people know they didn't support the ideals but that it was simply a shock prop). Anyways, they were actually pretty good.

Well once you do get money, you'll probably enjoy the Lateralus album since it's much similar in sound to 10,000 Days, I personally dig the title track off that album.

Personally, my favourite Tool album was the one previous to Lateralus, Aenima. It just has a really nice blend of semi-aggressive stuff to moody stuff. It where I got that eye avatar from, it's one of three covers you can insert into the cd case, it has that holographic stuff where you move the case up and down the image shifts and stuff. With the eye one, it rolls, the contortionist one is kinda gross, and the normal cd cover is neat, it's this white fiery void type dealie.

Enjoy 10,000 Days though, I did.

I'll keep that in mind.

Right now I'm saving up money for clothes.

Listening to Jambi off the same album.

I am currently listening to 'Angel' by Judas Priest; a fanstatically beautiful song by them from their 'Angel of Retribution' album from last year. It was funny that I suddenly became aware of their talent right around the time the album hit the stores, my luck. This is the single, true acoustic song off the album, really emotional, despite a 50 year old singing it. It's quite easily my favourite track off the album as well, though the metal mayhem in the other songs rocks my socks off.

Long live the Priest!

Rock on!

I'm listening to Cab Calloway - The Ghost of Smokey Joe.

I'm not sure, but with passages like "kicking the gong around" I think it's about drugs. Considering that song is really really old, probably opium. Still, good music

[The Metal Mallet]

I am currently listening to the new Strapping Young Lad album, "The New Black". It had me a little worried at first, since the previous SYL album was released a year ago, so the album could've possibly felt rushed.

Upon listening to it, I shouldn't have worried at all! It's great, and has a few more funny elements this time around, namely in the songs 'You Suck' and 'Anti-product'. I laughed my head off when the big band music started playing over metal riffs in 'Anti-product', I never thought those two genres would work together but it's really interesting to hear.

They did make this album a wee bit more accessible, but it doesn't bother me, though the "hardcore" fans might be disappointed it does. It's still very, very, metal though. Supposedly this might be their final album, and that makes me sad. Hopefully Devin changes his mind, but it's understandable to stop if you've been involved with 20 albums in the last 10 years. That's insane!

Rock on Chorrol!
