Re: Music Time!

Ok, I'll check out the other Mars Volta album. I kinda figured the new audioslave was going to be dissapointing, to me it sounded like they were kinda mellowing out a bit more too.

And Foo Fighters for sure, I've always liked their stuff.

Thanks for the input.

Re: Music Time!

Yes I am also disappointed with the new audioslave I expected more evolution from them but seems they are stuck in 1996

Re: Music Time!

Defenitely check out the Deloused In The Comatorium (The Mars Volta) It is way more accessable than Frances The Mute, and the songs are a reasonable length which makes listening to it in the car alot easier.

As for Audioslave, I find that their new CD is just more of the same, only worse... I downloaded it, and then deleted it about 1/2 hour later.

You might want to check out the new Foo Fighters CD (it isn't out yet, but it has been leaked onto OINK).

Once? haha they already are

I know, that's what I meant. They write songs, then they get manipulated into a "Pop template" and they become boring and unoriginal. Maybe that's how they wrote them but there's been bands that used to have good songs but once they started getting lots of radio play you could tell that the format and lyrics and just about all aspects of the song are different from the first album for example.

Once upon a time when I was working on a demo I had to choose between "radio play" and "non radio play" type editing. Basically they take what you've written and edit it down to what fits for radio (3.5 minutes, vocals within 20 seconds, chorus within 45 seconds, etc.)

I like the "sound" of Theory of a defaultback or whatever they're called but the issue is once they get put into the "Pop template" they become very plain and unoriginal.

Re: Music Time!

ugh, I'm not sure what to listen too lately, I've mostly been recycling a lot of my old CD's. I'm really getting away from the Dance/Trance stuff for a while but I haven't really found a band that I enjoy.

I have the old Audioslave, it's ok, but it's honestly not my favorite, is the new one any good? From the short bits i've heard i'm not sure i'm going to like it. I also bought Frances the mute by the Mars Volta and honestly, some of the songs are crazy good but there's a lot of ambient stuff going on. I think it would be good for a road trip or something where you can listen to it front to back but for trips around the city a lot of times I won't even listen to a song because there's so much "noise". I've actually been told that their previous album was better but haven't checked it out yet.

Anyway, all that to say, if anyone can provide some input or recomend some bands i'm all ears.

Re: Music Time!

I have 7 AC/DC albums on my PhatBox. My singalong rendition of You Shook Me All Night Long is terrible but heartfelt.

If your an AC/DC fan, make sure & check out the Hayseed Dixie. It is a hillbilly tribute to AC/DC. It is the funniest thing ever.

They also have a Kiss tribute which I also love.

Personally I have been listening to a lot of Pixies stuff lately.

Re: Music Time!

I must live under a rock. I've never heard of half of these bands.

Yes that is me as well. I'm Scratching my head going HUH?

The older Heavy metal Rock I do know and i have heard of Audioslave.

I liked the band who did the song When Dophins Cry - the bands name eludes me at this present time.

cordialtea - in Edmonton going aaaah these People drive fast and are scaring me, please don't hit my car or me.
