I can't stand U2, either. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> I don't like Metallica much either, but No Leaf Clover's a great song.

Hmm bought Inme - White Butterfly and At The Drive-In - This Station Is Non-Operational.

WB is certainly better than their 1st album, 2 or 3 songs are proper sing(shout?) along stuff. They playing at at festival in my town next month so that shud be good.

This Station is interesting. ATDI are supposed to have this big cult following, and though this anthology gives glimpses of brilliance, I cant really see what they had that what was gonna make them "the next big thing".

Bands like Mettalica, medadeath or bloody slipknot just make me want to kill everything. I mean they could at least attempt to make a half decent guitar
riff, or get that sore throat looked at. To make a good rock band you have to be your work has to be your own. These kinds of people try to follow guidlines so to speak and stick to set way of playing, theres just no effort.

Slipknot definitely sucks the big one, Metallica can do some decent riffery, and I actually like a few Megadeth songs. :P And none of those have really harsh vocals, either... Dimmu Borgir, that's harsh vocals.

Slipknot, for the most part, do indeed suck the big one. But they occasionally strike a chord with me. Believe it or not, they can actually craft a decent song that isn't just mindless gut-screeching (not that there's anything wrong with that sometimes, heh...). Their latest album is actually one of the best albums I heard last year; it has an honesty to it that their other albums lacked (where they seemed to just put a lot of it on for the hell of it), and to say Slipknot are simply rubbish riffs hastily drawn together over sore-throat vocals shows that you havent' listened to Vol. 3. Here's a few of my favourites I quite like to listen to:

Eyeless
Tattered and Torn
Me Inside
Prosthetics
Prelude 3.0
Circle
Vermillion
Pulse of the Maggots
Vermillion Part 2
The Virus of Life
Danger -- Keep Away

Their first 2 albums are still the definitive pop soundtrack to complete and utter f**king chaos, IMO.

Vol3 was one of my fav albums of 2004 imo, a totally matured up sound from their previous efforts, which were basically just straight up pummelling of the ear drums (certainly no bad thing <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">).

These are the ones that I've downloaded AND listened to... since I still have 3 that I haven't listened to... the joys of DSL.

Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn: I'm one of those freaks who listens to a a band and decides he doesn't like them, then listens to them a few months later and it's "omg <33" ... good CD.

Bright Eyes - Fevers & Mirrors: Another good CD. Also, it has the best fake interview EVER

Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning: Probably my favorite album so far this year, and I got it... two days ago? I'd say I'd have to listen to it more if I hadn't listened to like 5 times.

Guru - Streetsoul: Supposedly acid jazz, it's really not all that jazzy, though. More of a slow rap... I still really like it outside of some of his featured artists (Macy Gray... blech).

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia: I still haven't listened to this whole CD, but initial estimates say it's pretty good... I don't like it as much as Stupid Dream, but whatever.

The Decemberists - The Tain: The best 18.5 minute song I've ever heard...

Fear Factory -- Transgression

A lot more focus on melody this time around; though it does feel a little flat in places. I seem to have an unmastered studio rip however, so I guess I shouldn't be forming any real opinion at this point. Some stand out tracks: Supernova and I Will Follow (both of which actually reminded me of lostprophets, though a more apt comparison would be Dog Day Sunrise), Echo of my Scream (great ambient track in the middle of the album), 540,000 Degrees Farenheit (Obsolete-era FF), and Moment of Impact (just pure FF, though an odd choice for closer).

Hrmm, got a lot of CDs to spam this time around... and Bright Eyes is my "band of the month" whatever that means.

Billy Talent - Billy Talent: Technically speaking, I shouldn't like this CD since it's all "punk rawky LOLL!!1" but I really like the vocals.

Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn: Blah blah not their best CD. Got some good tunes and all but none of the super-great tunes that you can find on their other CDs.

Bright Eyes - Fevers & Mirrors: Very sweet lyrics/vocals/acoustic guitaring, in that order.

Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning: Still pretty damn sweet.

Bright Eyes - Letting Off The Happiness: Another good CD.

Bright Eyes - Lifted Or The Story Is In the Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground: Another good CD except for the first track.

Commander Venus - The Uneventful Vacation: Old-school Bright Eyes, slightly louder and with worse recording.

Silver Jews - American Water: Another good CD! I dig the monotone vocals a lot. (my reviews suck)

The Delgados - Universal Audio: Pretty good CD, at first I could only get into the first track but now I like most of them... it just took me like a week, which sucked.

Same here. It's a guilty pleasure that I don't like to tell people.
