  • My Top 50

    29. Nov. 2009, 9:26 von ShatteredFlame

    Well I've been on last.fm for almost 2 years now and my taste has changed dramatically over time. Looking at my top 50 overall I'm really not happy with most of the artist on their. Partly because at first when I discovered a band I loved I would scrobble the shit out of them until they reached a high status on my charts. Nowadays I can't be bothered with how much I scrobble an artist because there's always so much other music I want to check out. So here I am at 2 am listening to Tom Waits wasting the night away writing about what I think about my top 50.
    = Looks great on my charts
    = I like them but I'm not for 100% in having them high in my charts
    = GTFO my charts.

    1. Tool
    Took me a while for me to love them. Then when they finally grew on me they immediately became one of my favorite bands. All their albums are great even their live album Salival is something worth checking out. And with each album better than the last I can only imagine how amazing their next album will be since 10,000 Days was so perfect.


    2. The Cure
    Immediately loved them when I first heard Disintegration. There early post-punk stuff is great but I think they hit they're peak with Disintegration. Weak was alright but everything after pretty much sucks. I still haven't checked out everything by them even with over 2000 scrobbles. They have so much material.


    3. Opeth
    First checked out Still Life. Loved it. Then Damnation. Bored me, except SpielenWindowpane. Like Tool it took me awhile before fully appreciating them. Now they've become one of my favorite bands.


    4. Pink Floyd
    Yeah classic band. Darkside Of The Moon, The Wall, and Animals are all classics to me.


    5. A Perfect Circle
    I don't really listen to them at all anymore. At first I was just a blind Tool fan loving Maynard's voice and his lyrics, now I think most lyrics are complete bullshit and appreciate artist for their musicianship. These guys are better than your average mainstream rock bands, some nice song writing that sets them apart from simply sounding generic. Spielen3 Libras will always be one of my favorite songs.


    6. Katatonia
    I'm always an "on again off again" type of relationship with these guys. First heard The Great Cold Distance, loved it at first now I can barely sit through the whole thing. There other albums are the same, except Brave Murder Day which will always be their best. Overall, they have a lot of gems spread out in their albums, the best usually being bonus tracks and CD-singles.


    7. Celldweller
    I used to listen to this guy all the time. Now I think he is pretty overrated. Being a part of the AMV community is really sickening because everyone considers this guy a genius, pretty much every single song is done to death. Why do people praise this guy for being a one man band? Like there isn't millions of other solo artist who also create great music. He has some great material but I wouldn't call anything he's done a masterpiece. Every song he has released lately has been solid but I really don't think he can create a great album. I'll take a great album over a great song any day.


    8. Puscifer
    Actually checked him out before APC or Tool. Still love this project. V is for Vagina is a great album but I do think that it is very hit and miss. The stuff he has been putting out lately especially The Humbling River have got to be the best material released on here. I'm liking this new atmospheric direction.


    9. Rise Against
    My favorite generic nostalgic band. I don't really listen to them at all anymore but I don't mind it when I do.


    10. Metallica
    Really not sure how they got this high on my charts in the first place. I think they're classic albums for the most part are very overrated. Kill 'em All and ...And Justice for All are pretty good though. When Death Magnetic first released I loved it but since then I've gotten into a lot of other superior metal bands.


    11. Eminem
    Yeah hes a guilty pleasure. Will always be.


    12. Devin Townsend
    I completely love this guys work. His insanity is of my liking. Great musicianship. Addicted has also got to be one of my favorite 09 releases.


    13. Agalloch
    These guys can't release a bad record. Everything they've done is great.


    14. King Crimson
    Masters of Prog? Yeah In the Court of the Crimson King, Larks Tongue in Aspic and Red. are all essential for every prog lover.


    15. Shining
    Checked these guys out when I read that fucked up description about their beliefs and live performances, I just had to hear how fucked up this was. I'm glad I did give them a listen. Besides being fucked up V: Halmstad has got to be one of the greatest pieces of music I have ever heard. Every track is mind blowing. I haven't really gave their earlier stuff much of a listen. VI: Klagopsalmer was awful though.


    16. Meshuggah
    Didn't really want to check them out because how stupid their band pictures look. Chaosphere made me laugh, Jens Kidman sounded like a barking dog and the music just sucked. Catch-33 was a much better experience, their music was kind of annoying but I think that's what inevitably made them great for me....for some reason, don't really know how to describe my feelings toward them. They also became the headliners of the first concert I attended :).


    17. Infected Mushroom
    First heard the song Artillery which was great. I didn't check out the full album until a long time after which I regret because Vicious Delicious is a damn satisfying album. I don't care about how pop it is compared to how magical their earlier albums are. Infected Popshroom > Infected Mushroom. Not too much of a fan of them, they're live performance was hands down the best I've been too. I also helped advertise for them in their fanmanager street team and won an autographed poster and CD :D.


    18. Amon Amarth
    Twilight of the Thunder God unleashed my hidden craving for death metal. Now I think it's a pretty boring record. Metal gets old fast man.


    19. Jerry Goldsmith
    Lol, short lived movie soundtrack craving.


    20. Angelspit
    Addicting shit. Addicting when I first heard them. Still as addicting now. Even they're new release cleared my disappointment after a few listens. 2nd album has yet to grasp me.


    21. My Bloody Valentine
    Loveless


    22. Beastie Boys
    Hell Yeah! Probably a guilty pleasure, isn't it?


    23. "Weird Al" Yankovic
    Another guilty pleasure, right?


    24. Nine Inch Nails
    I never really liked them as much as I wanted to. All these scrobbles are a failed attempt for the most part. The Downward Spiral and The Fragile have some good songs but other than that I have never been able to see the magic.


    25. Linkin Park
    Angry generic emo shit.


    26. Joy Division
    A truly great band. Ian Curtis wrote some wonderful songs. Lyrics are all fantastic. Simple but hold so much meaning.


    27. Ayreon
    Gets old after while.


    28. Mastodon
    They're pretty good. Crack The Skye is such an overrated album it's ridiculous. Leviathan is great.


    29. Cynic
    Metal Gods!


    30. Tom Waits
    Absolute genius!


    31. maudlin of the Well
    Fucking insane band. Toby Driver is a genius.


    32. Mindless Self Indulgence
    Yeah I considered myself daring for listening to a band like this. They still have a few classics but I don't really listen to them anymore.


    33. Modest Mouse
    Have some great songs but as albums go they tend to fade with time.


    34. John Carpenter
    Only around Halloween


    35. Scarling.
    They are great...I haven't listened to them in a long time now


    36. Guns N' Roses
    Meh.


    37. Shpongle
    Should be as high as Infected Mushroom. Great music.


    38. Porcupine Tree
    I haven't really listened to many albums by them. I love Deadwing and Lightbulb Sun but most of the other stuff I've checked out is pretty boring.


    39. Astronautalis
    Amazing artist. SpielenBarrel Jumping (A Man Of Letters), The Waterfall and SpielenThe Story of My Life all have got to be some of the greatest songs I've heard.


    40. Thousand Foot Krutch
    Generic Christian Rock


    41. System of a Down
    Such a faux pas


    42. Vader
    They won't be relevant in a couple of months


    43. Have a Nice Life
    Great album. Great bootleg demo album but recently I'm not feeling what I felt when I first listened months ago.


    44. ASHES dIVIDE
    Wow something completely shot out of my life.


    45. Gojira
    Metal that doesn't get boring. Great drumming also.


    46. J.Viewz
    Local New York band. Chill out album. So great.


    47. Unwound
    Leaves Turn Inside You is so great but like Have a Nice Life I think I'm growing out of this depressing shit.


    48. Dane Cook
    Why did I have him to begin with? =(


    49. Bill Conti
    Short lived Rocky soundtrack addiction. Still great but not something meant for heavy listening.


    50. Black Light Burns
    I kind of forced myself to like them. They suck. Only New Hunger, Cruel Melody and Lucretia My Reflection are good.



    Final Verdict: Only 23 out of 50 artist I am satisfied with =(

  • I have a dream

    29. Nov. 2009, 3:22 von The_Night_Head

    I have a dream that one day metal elitists will take their heads out their arses, and realise taste is purely subjective, such that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all genres are created equal."

    I have a dream that one day on the grim frostbitten hills of Norway, the black metalheads and the gangsta rappers will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

    I have a dream that one day even Gothenburg, a place sweltering with shitty melodeath, and rife with generic sellouts, will be transformed into an oasis of progressive soul nurturing music.

    I have a dream where bands will not be judged by how 'catchy their riffs are' but by how well they accomplish what they set out to do.

    Who's with me?

  • Essential Albums of the Last Decade - Volume I

    28. Nov. 2009, 22:49 von DreadfulYgg

    I’m redoing my lists because I previously I might have been catering too much to releases I personally loved, and not enough on the absolute musts of this first decade of the century. Therefore, my redux will now begin. Once again, there is no order to any of these lists, it’s all random. Also, only one album per band.

    Opeth- Blackwater Park


    While there can be arguments made for any of Opeth's albums released in this decade, it's next to impossible to argue against any decisions. My choice is Blackwater Park because throughout each of its 8 songs, virtually no flaws are to be found. The songwriting is some of the best in the band's long career, the acoustic and heavy passages are masterfully segued into one another, and is responsible for some of Opeth's most beloved material to date.

    Nevermore- This Godless Endeavor


    Nevermore were always a unique heavy metal band. They escape conventional genre tags and continue to forge their own path, led by god-like talents of Warrel Dane and Jeff Loomis. This Godless Endeavor, along with Dreaming Neon Black, stands as the watershed moment in their career and the quality of this album is probably one of the reasons the band has yet to release a follow-up. It wil be no easy task, since this release fires on all cylinders.

    Anaal Nathrakh- The Codex Necro


    In the discussion of most unrelenting and brutal black metal to date, this is a no brainer. The power and heft that comes out of the riffs and light speed percussion, not to mention the venemous vocals lend themselves to create a black metal album that's as intimidating as one can find these days. One lyric sums up the sound perfectly: "Down on your knees!"

    Ensiferum- s/t


    Ensiferum's debut album is energetic, folky, and fun as hell. Contrasted with the more black metalish folk sounds of Finntroll, Ensiferum bring a sound more akin to power and melodeath, and does it ever work well. Without a doubt, Ensiferum made a huge mark on the folk metal scene with their debut album alone and continue to do so today. They've yet to best this work althoug they've come close.

    Summoning- Oath Bound


    Let's all face it, none of us can ever expect to create the kind of musical art Summoning have shown us in the last 10 years. Their last three albums form a triforce of black metal perfection, but Oath Bound doesn't so much surpass any quality shown on those previous two efforts. Instead, what it does is raise the bar for what can be done within the metal form. Summoning transcend their genre and channel the spirit of Tolkien better than anyone while they're at it, and it's powerful enough to inspire even the most stout-hearted listener. Might and glory awaits you...

    Windir- 1184


    There are few, if any, that can match the talent and engaging melodies that Windir were able to form.. You have to wonder if Valfar knew he was writing a song about his inevitable death. It's both tragic and full of wonderment when you listen to this album and come to the last song on the album only to realize that it serves as the perfect monument to Valfar's genius. His mark upon the metal world will always be felt thanks to this masterpiece.

    Agalloch- The Mantle


    There's a reason why this has made so many people's lists of "Favorites of all-time" within just seven years of its release. Agalloch are one of those bands that put out memorable album after memorable album, and The Mantle is no exception. You could really make the same argument for Ashes Against the Grain, but The Mantle is the one that put them on the map and finally revealed their greatness (after their classic debut) to many who were gladly willing to follow them. Another band that needs no classification, Agalloch sound like no one else.

    Darkspace- Dark Space III


    Easily one of the most startling new bands of this first decade, Darkspace are an underground gem to those who will understand just what it is they are doing not just for black metal, but for music in general. Their use of minimalism is second to none, and no other band can create the atmosphere of being in space better than they can. Dark Space III stands as the culmination of everything they've done thus far and is a must listen to anyone.

    Immortal- Sons of Northern Darkness


    Always one of the leader of the second wave of black metal in Norway, their revitalized and epic new sound came with the now classic At the Heart of Winter. While Damned in Black was a worthy album in its own right, it didn't capture that freezing and frostbitten aura the band always excelled at. Sons of Northern Darkness picks up the pieces of At the Heart of Winter and assembles them into a modern black metal classic. The production has never sounded so well and it brings out their music in the best possible way. Guitars slice, drums pound like ice, and Abbath's vocals call forth legions from the darkest and coldest regions on Earth to battle. Sons of Northern Darkness is without a doubt Immortal's crowning achievement.

    Negură Bunget- Om


    If you ever wondered what progressive black metal was all about, look no further than these Transylvanian gods. Like Darkspace, this band is paving the way for the future of black metal but instead of channeling the vast darkness of space, Negură Bunget take a difference approach. Their influenced by philosophical and natural aspects of life, and their music reflects that with its sometimes otherwordly sounds. I struggle with words for Om because they simply won't do justice here. If you haven't experienced Om, then you're in for the experience of a lifetime.

    Nile- In Their Darkened Shrines


    While some may argue Annihilation of the Wicked as being their best, I find it difficult to not see In Their Darkened Shrines as the masterpiece that it is. Not only do I find it more brutal sound-wise, but the Egyptian atmosphere that Nile has always been inspired to create is found here in a way not heard on other albums. Whether it's the pefectly implemented synths or technical riffage or all out assault of the drums, Nile proved once and for all that they were a juggernaut in the modern death metal scene and haven't looked back since.

    Arcturus- The Sham Mirrors


    When it comes to the avant-garde approach to metal, perhaps there is none better than Arcturus, specifically this album where they excel at their craft in every song. Of course, it helps when all of your members are essentially "Norwegian royalty", including the lovely talents of Garm. Clever use of electronics, near perfect riffage, and flawless drumming from Hellhammer round out this package. Add to that an original approach to songwriting and you have a winner.

    Drudkh- Blood in Our Wells


    Isis- Oceanic


    Devin Townsend- Terria


    Boris- Pink


    Xasthur- Nocturnal Poisoning


    Akercocke- Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone


    Amon Amarth- Versus the World


    Ásmegin- Hin Vordende Sod & Sø


    More albums are to come, so don’t complain about any absences just yet…

  • Does neofolk make up a scene?

    11. Nov. 2009, 19:43 von NormanKuusik

    Hello there,

    as a part of a presentation I am to do, I invite everyone to a free-form and by no means official discussion on the following question(s):

    Do you think the fans (and artists) of neofolk make up a 'scene/subculture' of its own? If yes, what do you think are the characteristics of such a scene (and the people in it).

    Feel free to draw examples from your own personal experience.

    Artist connections for proper distribution.

    Current 93
    Death in June
    Sol Invictus
    Backworld
    Agalloch
    Empyrium
    Tenhi
    Ulver
    Sieben
    Of the Wand and the Moon
    Blood Axis
    Nest
    Rome
    Forseti
    Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio
