Radont, I love Project 86 as well!!

Finally someone else knows who I'm talking about. When I say I like Project 86 most people are like "Who?".

Project 86 rocks, heard about them some months and now I got most stuff from them Listning to All Your Heroes Are Dead now by the way

Listening to Oasis at the moment.

[The Metal Mallet]

I am finally listening to the new Isis Cd, In the Absence of Truth. I can't make any comments, since i'm only a few minutes into the first song, I'll get back to it Saturday. I'm just really, really happy I finally have it.

For some reason it just seems the Canadian release date kept on getting pushed back since Halloween. But I'm a happy little mallet now with this sounding through my speakers.

Listening to The Ultimat Kansas CD..."Carry on my Wayward Soooooon..."

[Shiniku]

Well, my taste in music is primarily rock.
Specifically, metal.
Some bands I like are; System of a Down, avenged sevenfold, static-X, Black Sabbath, the beatles, red hot chilli peppers, evanescence + many more. That's only the very top of my list, but you can guess what else I like from there.

What I'm cdurrently listening to is some System of a Down songs that are new to me. It's like a whole new CD was released, though it wasn't (hiatus!). ALl the songs are songs that were released on various singles, Movie sound tracks, demo tapes, and live recordings, that DID NOT appear in the other CDs. SOme really bizzare stuff, and I love it. I especially like songs like 'Johnny' 'Friik!' and 'mushroom cult'(dog fashion disco feat. Serj Tankian). I'm quite pleased with all this stuff though. My favorite songs of all time by any artist:
Forest- system of a down Yesterday- the beatles Snowblind - black sabbath (system also has a great cover of this song)

ANd there ya have it.

Spy Hunter
Wordsmith Legacy
Little Green Men
Hollow Again
Stein's Theme
Subject to Change
All of me
Your Heroes are Dead
From December

Sincerely, Ichabod

Audioslave - Be Yourself

Someone falls to pieces
Sleepin all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
And another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Untill the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright

You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

It's just another one of my thousand anthems... keeps me running and breathing.

Another Saturday, another list. This one is to celebrate my purchase of the Isis CD, In the Absence of Truth:

Oceanic - Isis
Panopticon - Isis
In the Absence of Truth - Isis
The Eye of Every Storm - Neurosis
Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun - Red Sparowes
Origo - Burst
Aenima - Tool

Now with a couple of listens of the new Isis album, I can say I'm certainly pleased. They incorporate a different style, but it's still distinctively Isis. Basically the main changes are that they use more hypnotic sung vocals instead of the hardcore shouts, the drums have also become more hypnotic since they have a more tribal sound that sounds somewhat similar to Danny Carey's playing on Tool albums. I specifically like the hand drums used in the instrumental song Firdous E Bareen. They also have moved away from implementing the huge crescendo of heavy guitars. They still have moments like that, but not in the way of songs like Syndic Calls, or In Fiction from previous albums. I get a more rock feel then metal with this release. Which is perfectly fine with me!

[Fuzzy Knight]

Think Danny will like this post as I've now got the full discography of both Dream Theater and Symphony X Mostly been listning to Live On The Edge Of Forever by Symphony X, was surprised by how good their performace is live, sounds perfect and his voice is amazing

Now playing - Of Sins and Shadows, live!

[Neck' Thall]

I'm listening to the great works of Jimmy Buffet...Feeding Frenzy Live!

[canis216]

I'm listening to Cream-- "Crossroads", to be exact. Clapton's solo is awesome.

[milanius]

Audioslave - The Worm
Very angry, very loud. Cornell sounds more than pissed in this one and, by God, he sounds good when he sounds angry.

[The Metal Mallet]

Well, it's Saturday. Time for the list!

The Black Halo - Kamelot
The Glorious Burden - Iced Earth
Once - Nightwish
This Godless Endeavor - Nevermore
Enter Deception - Cellador

[Soulseeker3.0]

Well, at the moment i'm listening to Mando Diao, Hurricane bar. very nice imo

[milanius]

Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
This one is making me feel +25pts better...

[1234king]

Right now im really listening to a lot of Megadeth. Hail the scorpion!!

[The Metal Mallet]

Seen Through Time by Cellador.

This stuff is CRAZY good power metal. Really speedy stuff that's kinda along the lines of Dragonforce, but without the cheesy lyrical themes. The musicianship displayed by these guys is phenomenal considering their ages range from 17-23. And it's the drummer who is 17, and the drumming is absolutely nuts on this CD!

You can still see their youth in the singing department though, their singer sounds off-key every now and then when he tries to hit the high notes every once in awile. I can't to see what else they'll put out, because considering their youth, they're going to have lots of time to improve and become more solid. And they really really, good now, so that idea boggles my mind!


PS - Megadeth rules! I wanna listen to some Rust In Peace era stuff now....

At the moment I'm listening to some Bob Marley, with some Marvin Gaye thrown in. I've been listening to it most of the day, so I guess I'll switch to some blues shortly.

speaking of power metal...

been listening to a lot of Blind Guardian. Excellent band, but there's a point where they just get to be too much. A little too much fantasy lyrics for me sometimes.

Nonetheless, sometimes I feel the mood, and I've been trying to learn the solo of 'Into the Storm' from their Nightfall in Middle Earth album. Just have to speed it up, and all will be well.

[canis216]

I've been watching this YouTube clip of Cream for the last 20 minutes--so awesome.

Seeing how animated Clapton is, I think that had to have been one seriously awesome concert.
