The brand-new new music thread

[majutsu]

lol man two albums an hour more like
i've just been on some other bodybuilding boards and lotsa music forums
plus i'm really into the experimental edge now. I like hearing new things. Didn't know how much others dig the bleep.
flashbulb is cool. like aphex twin meets this mortal coil. not shitting you. good she-bang vibe. kind of like listening to the soundtrack for a movie that hasn't been written. that's their style.
i like /at work/ "build it up break it down too" i had to get it straight from batota though, couldn't find the damn thing anywhere else. but heard it on the radio and dug it.

Speaking of Aphex Twin disciples, that new Clark is kind of boring. I was expecting more after reading all the press about it, but it just kind of is what it is, no more, no less. I guess I've been spoiled rotten by VSnares and Autechre.

Oh man, give the new Tim Hecker a spin. Guy is freaking consistent.

If you're still riding that experimental wave, give Khlyst as try: http://z9.invisionfree.com/undergroundreview/index.php?showtopic=923

Ha, the devil has a hell of a musical legacy then. VSnares and Robert Johnson. Almost puts John Hammond to shame.

Yeah, I'm diggin this album for the most part.

In a few of the songs I think the clean choruses seem somewhat out of place and almost take the energy out of the song - think newer Soilwork. I don't dislike clean choruses, but in some cases on this album I think they ruin an otherwise good song.

Overall though, I think it's a pretty good album. I haven't heard all of Fragments of D-generation (only 2 tracks) so I can't say how it compares to that. From reviews I've read, it seems Fragments got quite a bit of praise while Mind Tricks has gotten mostly criticism.

 

[from zero]

Fragments of D-Generation is an awesome record.

Other new-ish stuff that rules:
Isis - The Absence of Truth
Raunchy - Death Pop Romance
Poisonblack - Lust Stained Despair
Mercenary - The Hours That Remain
Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance
Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side

Stuff that has infinitely disappointed me.
Evergrey - Monday Morning Apocalypse
Unearth - III
Heaven Shall Burn - Deaf To Our Prayers
Diecast - Internal Revolution

Stuff that flat out sucks:
Trivium - The Crusade

Stuff that is pretty good, but nothing to write home about:
Lamb of God - Sacrament
Threat Signal - Under Reprisal

Best DVD I've seen in a long time:
Evergrey - A Night To Remember.
I know, I know. Welcome to 2004.

There's other stuff to add to this, but my brain isn't working at all at the moment.

Dude, that Amon Amarth does rule.

Some seek shelter in the church/ A refuge for those with faith/ But we know how to smoke them out/ A pyre will be raised!
