... you think that's an unpopular opinion? That said, you shouldn't really be blaming her, blame her parents and the recoding company that came up with the song.

Only parts of this song are metal. The last six minutes or so are actually floaty ambience and at the end there's a brilliant spoken word part, and the opening line of "And so ten centuries solemnly collide, love failed and I have lost my name" is nothing short of awesome, either.


This song starts off fairly calm, and then it turns into a brutal metal-fest, and then back to calm prettiness again. From what I've heard, metalheads ****ing hate this band. I've argued with many a metalhead who didn't appreciate MOTW's album Bath. Many reasons for the hatred include "they're not metal all of the time" "singer sounds like a fruit" "untalented" and "untrue metal". But of course, hardcore metallica lovin' metalfans are usually dumbasses.

Both bands also have a nice selection of non-metal albums you might enjoy, though. You might like Kayo Dot's Coyote or Maudlin Of The Well's Part The Second. Coyote is scary sounding and claustrophobic (apparently the album is about somebody experiencing death), and Part the second is a mostly melodic butterfly fest of pretty music.
Kayo Dot is good. Never heard of the second suggestion, though.

Tartar Lamb II is out now. Unless somebody already beat me to saying that...

Hip-hop and No Wave did more to rebel against music industries/social constraints/etc. than Punk Rock has ever done.

Thanks for the recommendations.
Part the Second is actually free. You can download it off of their site here.

Tartar Lamb II is good. What's your favourite movement? Mines the second and the fourth.

Anything before the fourth really; not because I disliked the fourth at all, but in the fourth they sort of reached the conclusion, and I really liked the brooding, spine-tingling atmosphere created in the first three.

Coming from a huge Hendrix fan, I'll definitely agree with you that he isn't overrated (I wouldn't consider him underrated either), but I wouldn't call him the best. He's definitely great in his own realm of music, but I wouldn't say he's better or worse than those like Fred Frith, John Fahey, or Django Reinhardt.

John Fahey > everyone, because:

"In his own realm" a better way of putting it, yeah.
"Machine Gun" is one of my favorite songs of all time.
