[img]http://images.wikia.com/lyricwiki/images/d/d2/The_Antlers_-_Burst_Apart.jpg[/img] The Antlers - Burst Apart 1/5 This is just not really a good album. I only liked on song on the whole thing and it was the very last one. The last song 'Putting the Dog to Sleep' is really beautiful, the rest however are really forgettable and just shitty.

This is kind of just the second version of their previous "The Years" EP only released under Sub Pop and with a little tweaks to each song, although To The Lighthouse sounds extremely different, and I frankly prefer the previous version (of both the song and the album) but I dig that they are trying some variety. Anyway, enough words, they uploaded their new album in its entirety featuring new and unreleased visuals from Jamie Harley to stream on Vimeo. Here it is: [media]http://vimeo.com/28985813[/media]

[QUOTE=gerbile5;32337250]i like it but i dont know if i like it..... hmmm maybe ill buy the album and give it a shot[/QUOTE] I know what you mean, its got certain taste. By all means check out the first album (its not extremely comparable, but you get a feel of the music he makes).

i don't think there is a greatest band on the planet. all songs are an individual artistic representation of the composer, i think if we try and rank them then we're just cheapening it. i always watch my wording and say "my favourite band" or "i enjoy <x>" take yoko ono for example, I can't say that I've ever met anybody (myself included) that likes her music. but she does, and it represents her (in her opinion), and she's happy doing so if she still (as far as i know) continues to perform on the odd occasion. does that make any album shes ever done "bad"? maybe in an opinionated sense, but in her view -it's her music, it represents her, and it will last forever. that's what's beautiful about music. i would much rather leave an album that i'm completely happy with, than a huge will.

[QUOTE=Cypher_09;32341408] take yoko ono for example, I can't say that I've ever met anybody (myself included) that likes her music.[/QUOTE] Her Season of Glass album is respected. But in all truth, Avant-Garde is another world to what most people can comprehend. It's hard to understand... or probably impossible, but it's capable to extract a great experience from it.

A great inspiration to me.

beautiful album ;_;

Ed Sheeran-'+' [img]http://www.sabotagetimes.com/wp-content/uploads/Ed-Sheeran-e1315637902366.jpeg[/img] Seriously impressed by this guy's song writing and vocal performance, so much potential. 9/10

[img]http://image.lyricspond.com/image/d/artist-dragonforce/album-inhuman-rampage/cd-cover.jpg[/img] After all the hate, I decided to listen to Dragonforcve and see for myself if it's bad or good, It's a pretty good album, the guitarwork is insane, but it tends to drag on, the vocalist is okay, but the lyrics sound like a D+D nerd's wetdream sometimes. I'd say 7/10

The thing about Dragonforce is that when you've heard one song by them, you've heard them all.

[QUOTE=Hakita;32353329]The thing about Dragonforce is that when you've heard one song by them, you've heard them all.[/QUOTE] yes and no.

Valley of the Damned is a great album. I don't have much fondness for their later albums. Body Breakdown is absolutely awesome though

Revolution Deathsquad is pretty awesome too

I like Through the Fire etcetc, maybe because I've never played guitar hero that much? :v:

Puddlez presents to you a unique review on a "legendary" album. [img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31ESVCFE0SL._SL500_AA300_.jpg[/img] Speak To Me/Breathe Opens up with sounds and shit you'll hear later in the album. How incredibly nice of you to give you a nice warning for the ear rape you're about to recieve. By the way they rip you off, the song doesn't go for 4 minutes because the first 1:15 is bullshit. Then the song starts. It's a basic beat with nearly inaucible bass and some annoying ass flangy guitar and this ringing sound over it which pisses me off. It does this for fucking ages. Then the vocals start. Not that I could do better, but they're dreadful. I mean any matured british man could say "run rabbit run". And just as I was getting in to it, the song cuts out. What the fuck On The Run Some hat thingy over a droned chord leaves me to believe that it'll be a pretty cool song, but in reality it's just this 8 note sequence repeated 100 times. THAT'S THE SONG Time Another boring ass long intro. Maybe Pink Floyd could have used this time wisely to make better music. The vocalist returns, and another vocalist (thank god) who sounds a lot cooler than the first one comes in. What a relief. Next is a solo, and it's safe to say it's a good solo. A really good one in fact. Particularly that bend which I like to call a fluke, you know the really high one that every time Gilmour tries to play live ends up letting down the entire song because he cant seem to do it like he did on the record ever again. The song continues with the "cool" vocalist, but shamely cuts back to a return of the first song. Ew. NEXT The Great Gig In The Sky I call this "On The Run" part 2. While more interesting, it's just drums, some piano chords with some woman on crack in the background. THAT'S THE SONG Money A cool bassline. But crap, the shit vocalist comes in. And the song gets repeditive really quickly. Really repeditive. Really repeditive. Really repeditive. Really repeditive. Really repeditive. Solo. Really repeditive. Wait what? Fuck this song takes forever Us and Them Another droney chord thingymabob. The sax solo that comes in is actaully nice, and we have the good vocalist in the song. But fuck me it gets boring after 7 minutes of the same lick. Bah. NEXT Any Colour You Like On The Run Part 3. Enough said. Brain Damage It's okay. I like the 3rd vocalist. He's cool. But the song isn't great Eclipse 2 minutes doesnt count as a song How do people enjoy this shit. Seriously unless you're like 70 and didnt feel like a lollipop in 1972 so you decided to pic up this cool picture thingy LP cover that you found in a bargain bin and are now listening to it for nostalgia, kill yourself

Yeah that's the dumbest review in the history of the world. And I'm a fan of Christgau's reviews... damn.

haha oh wow. good read. too bad you didn't mention how lyrically inferior "Time" is. ugh (Dark Side fan btw)

I watched the wall it was really boring

Well.. the movie isn't like anything else. So I guess it wouldn't show much of a thrill to someone who watches movies to discover different styles.

can't say i really get what you said. but yea i was bored to tears during the wall, except for the AWESOME animations and the tits

[img]http://deathwishinc.com/estore/graphics/00000001/sqrm.rodeo.hi.jpg[/img] SQRM - Rodeo (2010) Hardcore (Punk) 7.5/10 Most of this is LP is filled with slow Hardcore. But at times some faster parts are thrown in to change up the pace. The big difference here is it's more heavy then the typical Hardcore band or at least any I've heard, yet still very aggressive.

[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/BobDylan%26theBandTheBasementTapes.jpg[/img] Bob Dylan and the Band - The Basement Tapes WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THIS hastily written poorly thought out review from my RYM page: istening to this album puts me right in that little pink house, chilling with the guys on the cover. really intimate music from people who loved what they did and were excellent at it. nothing indulgent, commercial, phony, contrived, blah blah just organic music with a sense of community. I haven't really absorbed the songs much so just a 4 for how much I love this albums more major traits. a great document of an era of Dylan which is strangely forgotten. Dylan has many distinct periods of his music that reveal alot abut his life, and it's a wonder to discover this very unique and absolutely wonderful chapter quietly snuck in between Blonde on Blonde and John Wesley Harding. I really need to get myself a really big biography on this guy. of course the Band here is fucking awesome, like I said this album has a unique feel to it and is very warm and it really never would have happened with out the band... much more relaxed and authentic than working with session musicians had been, not that that hadn't also produced some legendary material in the annals of rock. 4/5

The Doors - Morrison Hotel 8/10 because the first few songs are (imo) perfect in every way, but later in the album I'm not so keen on the general tempo/style of the music, but the lyrics don't disappoint.
