It's beyond awful. A tired mess, commercial rock at its worst. Sterile, lifeless, recycled, and inane, just nothing exciting at all. Brought to you by Wal-Mart™! Quote: Originally Posted by lextek As far as changing there sound. I'm not sure why a group would want to do that...

Yeah, Demolition Hammer is just sick. Epidemic of Violence is the apex of thrash metal for me. Razor's Shotgun Justice is number two. "Brass Knuckles" is hilariously aggressive. All of the bands you listed are great, good to see another fan of Vio-Lence. Ever heard Rigor Mortis? Ripping...

For the record, Soulja Boy gives me a headache.

Audio-Fi, I think you're a little confused. Hip-hop is a culture; rap is hip-hop music; hip-hop music is rap. You see, there's no difference. They are the same thing. There is no such thing as "real rap" and "fake rap." There's just rap. And hip-hop. They're the same thing! Rap from...

Rolling Stone "rock canon" in general.

1. Demilich - Nespithe 2. Autopsy - Mental Funeral 3. At the Gates - With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness 4. Gorguts - Obscura 5. Molested - Blod-draum My favorite death metal albums. Autopsy is just brilliant. Like Black Sabbath transmogrified into death metal.

It's called i-Doser. It doesn't work. Go to a concert instead, there's music and drugs at those.

I've started meditation for the past few months. Restful alertness + Coltrane's Complete 1961 Village Vanguard, or Graveland's Thousand Swords, or Worship's Last Tape Before Doomsday, or any Indian classical music is bliss.

Many thanks for the heads-up! The 3rd is my favorite Beethoven symphony. It's almost as good as the 9th, but not as horrendously overplayed and exploited as that masterpiece.

Comus - First Utterance Demilich - Nespithe (available for free download on their site... well, all of these are available for free download if you're crafty.) Nurse With Wound - The Sylvie & Babs Hi-Fi Companion Alfred Schnittke - Symphony No. 1 Harry Partch - Delusion of...

Horrible bands reuse their bad ideas. Shocking!

One time a guy kicked me in the balls for no apparent reason.

SNORE. Stupid dialogue, wimpy antagonist, horrible ending, half-assed attempt at a backstory half-way through.

Around 4 hours of active use. When I'm reading or doing homework or practicing music, I'm probably also queuing up music downloads.

All atheists. It's insane to insinuate that atheists are somehow musically dumb.

Bascom Lamar Lunsford, the quintessential Southern Highlands songcatcher. I don't feel like writing any more, he's all over the internet. Listen for a lesson in American culture history. This record is like a time machine; the distinct musical geography + Lunsford's endearing baritone make it a...

I got the same storm. Decided to go sledding. Long story short, I won't be walking around a whole lot for the next week.

Good, but they'll never top LP5 + Confield + Garbage.

Nine Inch Nails really bores me. I've always been more into "traditional" industrial. Cabaret Voltaire and Skinny Puppy are two good ones to start with. Nurse With Wound, Coil, Death In June, Foetus, VNV Nation, NON, :zoviet*france:, and Current 93 are all good.

Please heed my warnings. The apocalypse is nigh.

These are great, too.
