Sure, I'm in the mood for something new.

Ok I lied its really stoner rock but your getting some anyways. HAHA TRICKED!

Its a doom/stoner album thats pretty awesome. Turn up your bass please.

:eek:

Naw, it's cool, Stoner Rock is a genre I've been wanting to get into for a while.
Thanks!

The more I think about it its Doom.

Yeah, definitely old school doom. I have to say they're a band I've struggled to get into. THe music is good but I have a hard time with the vocals.

Really, I love the vocals. Theres something about screaming vocals I just dont like most of the time, but a chanting Fu Manchu/Kyuss esque vocals hit the spot with me.

Do you like St Vitus and the Melvins?

I would love to listen to this, Sonic Youth are one of the bands that I have heard about but have never listened to any of their songs.

Then listen to some Dinosaur Jr.

It's funny you brought up St. Vitus because I almost mentioned them in my previous post. I think Goatsnake have a pretty similar sound to them. As far as if like them or now goes, I guess my answer is "sort of". I've had one of their albums for about 15 years and even after all that time I can only take it in small doses. If I put it on, I'll enjoy it for a short span of time before—you guessed it—the guy's voice starts to wear on me. Melvins I enjoy a lot more, probably because they're much goofier, but even with them I have to be in the right mood for the dude's voice.

Theres quite a few instrumental (or mainly intrumental) doom/sludge bands. Maybe thats more your cup of tea.

I love a lot doom-type stuff actually, it's one of my favorite types of metal. I just tend to listen to bands that don't have the real bombastic vocals. Some favorites:

Ufomammut
Warhorse (the American one)
Boris
Electric Wizard
Sleep
Sons of Otis
Ultraphallus
Weedeater

Haha you just scored huge points. Try listening to Acid King (III). Low key vocals and very Electric Wizard. I can upload it if you chose to.

Too perfect really. Enjoy.

I am listening to the couple of albums I have been sent right now so thoughts soon.

I wouldnt know wtf to send you, you have the broadest musical taste. I feel like no matter what it was you probably have it on your computer or in a backroom on tape.

Already a fan of Acid King actually. :) They don't make the cream of crop list for me but I do like them. Have you ever checked out Orange Goblin or Mammatus? If you haven't, I'm guessing you'd like both of them.

Frequencies From Planet Ten is a superb album, as is Time Travlin Blues. And Mammatus is pretty cool as well. I only have The Coast Explodes but id definitely like to check out other stuff they have.

ps: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KcJj6wN1MA...s400/orgob.jpg

Coolest album cover ever???

I only also have the Coast Explodes from Mammatus, but I do have "Healing Through Fire" from Orange Goblin if you've never heard it and have any interest. :)

I think ill download it tonight. They all seem like cool guys, I saw a few interviews and they all have day jobs and just rock the **** out every night for years now. Sadly I dont see them ever getting anywhere commercially Just like the rest of the genre.

Damn that sounds great! Any chance of it heading my way?

You like Pink Floyd so how about listening to them Bossa Nova stylee? Trust me, it's damn good and works perfectly without resorting to bland coffee table music.

Sure. There are a shedload of volumes in this series all hosted by Guru but it does have a very 90's sound to it but it's a great series.

x2 jazzy hip-hop, so far from what I usually listen to, but may really like :)

Thanks man. :)

Rezz, this really is a fantastic thread idea. It's like you've encapsulated everything wonderful about MB in one place.

Bob sent me this:
http://img2.douban.com/lpic/s3947391.jpg

I really liked this album a lot. It's very relaxing, jazzy Hip-Hop which is exactly what I wanted. I liked the beats, but wasn't a huge fan of the guy's voice, it was a little plain. Other than that it was perfect for the mood I was in and was pretty sweet overall. Favourite songs: Violent Evolution, Outlaw in Wonderland, Air Bone. Overall rating: 7/10

Thanks!

If only I could have thought of a title that didnt suck.

Bob sent me this:

Whilst knowing quite a lot of Thrash bands, one scene I never really explored was the Japanese scene so that in itself was exciting and damn I did really enjoy this. However Bob did comment on the punk element and I have to say that 90% of this album does sound like a Hardcore punk album. Luckily I do like me some Hardcore Punk especially the early sounds and this worked perfectly and I will be digging around to see if I can find some more stuff by these guys.

misleading title TBH but decent album and a keeper.

Glad you enjoyed Matt Eliott :)

Best thread on the entire forum IMO.

RezZ sent me this:

For me this one was a grower, but as of now I've listened to it about three times and everytime I like it more and more. I do have a thing for quirky voices, and this definitely fits the bill on that, so that was a plus. The standout track here was "King of Spain". OMG...love, love, love that song. It has so much going for it: an almost bluegrass/country feel, fab lyrics and interesting vocals. It's a song I picture Savannah liking actually (you should send her the album!). Anyway absolute favorite on the album. I also loved "You're Going Back", which owes more to his vocals than anything else.

Overall, I definitely see this one getting multiple plays from me. Perfect recommendation RezZ. Thanks!

i think you'll enjoy....just may be a bit of a mood record

i actually had to drive today...which i loathe and listened to The Wild while driving....every song on there is great and fun....thanks again

will do...check your pm box and i would love some new music of any type

glad you liked them....actually the singer is from a band called Boredoms...check them out....completely different and yeah his vocals are much better with them

seriously i have not listened to that album in going on ten years....and obviously listened to it right before i sent...ten years ago i would have saifd that this is what thrash is all about....but a little knowledge and an understanding of the concept of "crossover" and yeah it's more of a hardcore punk record....either way i'm glad you like it

out of the four bands who tickled your fancy most?

i agree :)

Any chance I could get in on this one bob? :D

i am sending it now :)

^I really enjoyed the album you gave me, seems to me like a perfect winter album, it is a mood album but luckily it's a mood that I'm almost always in. Thanks for showing me something new!

glad you enjoyed it....and yeah it seems to have a bit of a dark storm cloud hanging above it

king of spain is getting major radio play on the dallas station 91.7 KXT. i havent heard the whole album, but yea,...what i've heard i really dig

I'd like to get involved here. I'll think of some stuff to send people.

I need to get involved, too.
anybody here want to get into any avant-garde rock or IDM or something? I can try my best.

I sent this to you James, i thought i'd throw some quality metal at you.

Sabbat - Dreamweaver (A Reflection Of Our Yesterdays) (1989)
This album is probably the greatest British thrash metal album of all time. It is a concept album based on the book 'The Way of Wyrd: Tales of an Anglo-Saxon Sorcerer' by Brian Bates. This album contains some incredible and precise guitar riffs by a young 19 year-old Andy Sneap and frontman Martin Walkyier's amazingly literative lyrics. I've also included a link to the song lyrics for the entire album which are even worth reading into on their own. Hope you'll enjoy it.

cool cool. Not heard much Thrash except from the big 4, sepultura and testament so I'm up for this.

to Dayvan Cowboy: I just looked at your last.fm and you're lacking in noise-rock and I think you'd like it especially if it has a touch of math like

Trumans Water - Spasm Smash XXXOXOX Ox and Ass (1993)

Enjoy! :)

I want some IDM, please :)
