I just listened to the new album and while it is good and I do like it, I was pretty disappointed. I was expecting something more along the lines of The Great Cold Distance, but it's much more mellow than that. That said, it's still a pretty good album. Maybe it will grow on me with a few more...

Soilwork - Stabbing The Drama album Scar Symmetry - Any album, but their older stuff is more harsh than it is melodic vocally. Holographic Universe and Dark Matter Dimensions are more clean vocally.

I figured I wouldn't get much for $100, but that's really all I care to spare for audio stuff at the moment unless someone can convince me otherwise. So you suggest a portable solution? Pardon my ignorance, but what's the difference between a portable amp and a desktop amp other than obviously...

I just received the left over money from my pell grant and figured maybe I could put a little bit of it towards a headphone amp. I use Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80ohm straight into my Macbook Pro at the moment. Would my DT770's really benefit from an amp? Are they even worth amping? Will an amp...

Thanks for the link. This seems very interesting, and I'd like to give it a try.

The new Scar Symmetry album is streaming on their MySpace page. So far so good. Scar Symmetry on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Not the most iconic or famous, but pretty important and I think will be more iconic and famous in the future.

Sounds awesome to me. I loved The Great Cold Distance, so I'm really looking forward to Night Is The New Day.

I don't think so. I do think they could/should have replaced Lars though. I'm not a fan of his drumming at all.

Less is more with Autotune IMO. The way T-Pain used it was at first really cool, but now it's really played out. I'm all for artists using it to correct their voices in real time during a concert though.

Meshuggah for sure. For crazy example, see their song "Bleed."

Anyone like Scar Symmetry? They have announced a release date and a track list of their new album Dark Matter Dimensions. Quote: Dark Matter Dimensions - NEW ALBUM DETAILS Category: Music SCAR SYMMETRY - ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM + COVER ARTWORK Swedish melodic progressive death...

I got Apostrophe this afternoon and I really like it. Quote: Originally Posted by scompton x2 for Apostrophe It's probably the most accessible album and the the title track is what really got me hooked on Zappa, although it's pretty much unique in his output. You might also...

Thanks. I'll stop by the used cd shop on my way home from class this afternoon.

Sorry to semi-necro a thread here, but I've recently received a copy of "The Best of Frank Zappa" CD and I really like it. I was wondering what other Zappa material you guys would recommend me to check out next? I really do like every track on the cd, but the ones that stand out to me are...

I'm sure the grip the headphones have on your head will eventually loosen up just a little bit. When I first got my DT770 Pro's, they were a little uncomfortable the first few days, but they eventually loosened up a tad and now there's actually a little indentation worn into the pads where they...

Just looking at the list of upcoming releases this year (dates already set and some still TBA) on metacritic.com... Psychostick - Sandwich Dr Dre - Detox (if it actually gets released this year haha) Eminem - Relapse/Relapse 2 new Muse new Lacuna Coil (already released but I don't have it...

I don't have many live albums, but my favorite has go to be The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Live from the Middle East. It sounds great, and it's filled with awesome songs.

Mac audio = iTunes Mac video = VLC When I last used Windows some 3ish years ago, I used Winamp and VLC or Media Player Classic.
