Who's anticipating the anticipated Tool album rumored to come out in April?

Best album of all time?

Best Album Of All Time is a joint victory between The Vertigo of Bliss (Biffy Clyro), and Kid A (Radiohead.

That is all.

Right now I'm slowly making my way through seventeen mix CDs that my friend made for me....though I'm not sure why they were made. Most terrifying of all, is that he would've made "far more" had he not run out of CDs, and so far (I'm in the 5th CD) there have been NO repeats :eek:

Worthy of mention, perhaps, is that these are MP3 CDs, not just standard 20-or-so song CDs....

Listening to Cover by Tom Verlaine, and the best album of all time is In Camera by Peter Hammill: loud scary fucked up decadent prog, nothing else on Earth sounds anything like it. (Rumour has it that he recorded everything besides the drums and the synths on a four track, and overdubbed them later. A very modern approach for an album that came out in 1974...)

Simonist: if it wasn't for the no repeats thing I'd think he's just burned you everything he has on iTunes.

You've just made my day with the Tool news. This is excellent indeed.

cameroi deeply appreaciates your intent, though its ageing population is no longer in touch with much of what you find current.

i believe i may have heard tool and i believe i may have liked them but i couldn't swear to eather with any degree of certainty.

my nominee for best alblum of all time would have to be moody blues; days of future past. runner up for number two would be tangareen dream's double casset alblum.

while we have found all genre's to have good things to offer, some none the less, much more then others, we do have favorites. these are tecnoambient glacialy cool alternative fussion for one, and a little known niche beyond the circle of its affecianados known as filk, which for those unfamiliar, is folk music of folk who haven't been born yet. (or more generaly live only in our collective immaginations).

and yes there is such a thing, and i've no doubt here is one of those rare places outside of speculative fiction conventions of one sort or another, where there might well be many already well awaire of its existence.

enthusiasts of this genre have been known to stay up well passed the turning of one day into another caterwalling it in what are sometimes known as bardic circles, or otherwise simply the filk room.

usualy begining after the remainder of scheduled panels and other events have ended for the day, and lasting, sometimes untill they begin again the next.

we also love the spirit of jam bands and music festivals, though remain personaly too impovereshed to partake of them directly. fortunately such bands as the cosmic wobble and blue turtle seduction, moe, fish, and many others, find airplay on the kind of alternative radio i listen to.

and my appologies for a little tiney bit of politicising, but cameroi will never be 'clear channeled'

blessed be

No, you've just undersold the best album ever likely to be produced, "The Verigo of Bliss" is inspired, notably Track 11.

And coming from an emo thats says a lot.:p

Tool album, not so much, never really got into them, too hard.

Listening to right now: Crosby, Stills, and Nash; Deja Vu

Ynybyshyd Gryyd, LOL

Best album of all time? A three way tie, Abbey Road (The Beatles), Rain Dogs (Tom Waits), Who's Next (Thw Who).

When is someone going to do a good production of Pete Townsend's "Lifehouse"?

Who's anticipating the anticipated Tool album rumored to come out in April?

Not me, I never even heard about it and I never was a big Tool fan.

Ride of the Valkyries -- Wagner

I don't really do albums. I prefer symphonies, sonatas, operas, etc.

Anything else musical you feel like talking about, go ahead.

Lets see:

Schoenberg - Hero or Traitor?

Chopin vs 50 Cent

Was Shostakovich a closet Objectivist?

3. Ryry
4. Oasis-Definetley Maybe

P.S. Oasis Rock

When somebody can make sense of it, I suppose.
What's wrong with Who's Next, anyway?

Who's anticipating the anticipated Tool album rumored to come out in April?

First I've heard of it, but now I can't wait for April to arrive! :)

What are you listening to?

I'm at work at the moment, and not listening to anything, but I've been listening to a lot of System of a Down, Blind Guardian, and Nine Inch Nails

What is your name "Skynyrized"; replace all the vowels with "y"

Cylyn....lol

Best album of all time?

Hmmm...tough call. I'm going to stick with the Tool route and say Aenima

Anything else musical you feel like talking about, go ahead.

Anyone know a good way to add weight to drum sticks? I like to practice with heavier sticks, but even the heavier ones at my local store are starting to get a little too easy to use.

1) Sort of. Lateralus wasn't nearly as good as Aenima so if this is a step up from Lateralus I'll be pleased, if a step down, it will probably still be good, but not good enough to look forward to.

2) "I'm Alive" by Blind Guardian.

3) Jylly Byyfry

4) Nevermind by Nirvana.

5) Not at the moment, except...


Simonist]Worthy of mention, perhaps, is that these are MP3 CDs, not just standard 20-or-so song CDs....How many tracks are typically on MP3 CDs?

Overplay. I like it as much as the next guy, but one can only listen to Baba-O-Reilly so many times before it becomes an incitement to commit evil deeds.

1. Meh

2. At the mo - Clapton. In general, my tastes have broadened since coming to university; I'm starting to get into some less mainstream stuff. Folk, and not the American sort, I'm talking accordions here. Whapweasel and Brian McNeill, etc.

3. Tyrqyyysy Dyys:D

4. Best album? Don't have one.

5. Erm...

Hyryn-Myrkyd Wyrryyrs

What a stupid name. The first two words aren't that bad, but Wyrryyrs?? Sheesh

Best album of all time?

Umm. Right now I want to say Youthanasia (megadeth) or Infinity Land (Biffy Clyro) but I can't choose. Don't make me choose **goes insaner**

Anything else musical you feel like talking about, go ahead.

Anyone else think the new Dragonforce album was a disappointment?

I fucking love them. The Vertigo of Bliss is an incredible piece of music

:eek: Better than Infinity Land? **impending drool**

How many tracks are typically on MP3 CDs?

I'd guess 120 to 180, depending on length of tracks.

Dance music - pointless drivel, or justifiable music genre?

Dance music - pointless drivel, or justifiable music genre?Industrial is a justifiable music genre and can be danced to, and isn't pointless drivel. I'm learning more towards other dance music being pointless drivel, though.

Who's anticipating the anticipated Tool album rumored to come out in April?

I'm not sure. I heard it was offcuts from Lateralus, and I like ÆNIMA much more than that album anyway. I'll probably end up buying it, but i'm not sure what to expect.

What are you listening to?

Soundgarden's Superunknown album.

What is your name "Skynyrized"; replace all the vowels with "y"

Chrys.

Best album of all time?

I don't think I could pick just one. Welcome to Sky Valley by Kyuss is probably my personal favourite, but I don't think it's the best album of all time, 'cause it's a pretty niche style. In Utero by Nirvana is probably equal to it, but not everyone likes it and it's far too overshadowed by the IMO slightly inferior Nevermind to be the "best". *shrugs*

Industrial is a justifiable music genre and can be danced to, and isn't pointless drivel. I'm learning more towards other dance music being pointless drivel, though.
That's pretty much my opinion as well. IDM is more interesting than actually danceable, though sadly there's too little of that, and too much that's closer to chart-dance.

Y V Stylyn - the most fearsome Welsh dictator of all time.

:D

Yeah, it's OK in moderation. I mean stuff like Faithless is good, but I don't really class it as dance, but just good music.

2. Cathedral stoner/doom metal stuff


Hahaha. Dude, you really need to get into Kyuss too. Trust me. :D

Yay, we have another Biffy fan :D

I fucking love them.I remember reading months ago in your sig that you were a fan. I had no idea that they were supporting Velvet Revolver at the Odyssey back in June until I arrived at the gig; I saw them and thought of you :D Hope you were able to make it.

Anyway...

5. Um...Going to see HIM in April in Dublin, Bon Jovi in May in same city. Predictably enough, I'm horrified every time I accidentally stumble across Top of the Pops or similar. HATE modern popular 'music'.

Frustrating question - Every Led Zeppelin album before 1975 (Physical Graffitti). So many others come to mind.

When I was about fourteen (20 years ago) I had a drum set (I sucked) and my brother's friend came over to play and he was awesome. He was about 11 or 12 and I was shocked to hear a black kid from Newark belting out Kiss' Rock and Roll All Nite on my drum set. As we were talking, he kept talking about his uncle and how his uncle was recording music and was going to be big one day soon. I remember thinking "yeah right". Turns out his uncle was Wyclef Jean and his little band, The Fugees, made quite an impact on the music scene. I felt foolish for doubting him.

-snip-
4. Parachutes - Coldplay.

Best Coldplay album. The one before the hype. Although I like listening to the other two albums every once in a while as well.

But don't you think there's no real artistic progress/growth/improvement etc. between parachutes and x&y?

1. Not me. I don't dig Tool.

2. Right now? Depeche Mode, but I might change the music any minute.

3. Tough question. Can't decide. Might be Rob Dougan's Furious Angels, Kasabian, or Franz Ferdinand's latest album.

4. Blyyhymmyl.

5. If you are listening to sad/melancholic music for some time, do you start feeling better or even worse and more depressed than before?

:eek: Better than Infinity Land? **impending drool**
Yup, and recorded in one day :)

I remember reading months ago in your sig that you were a fan. I had no idea that they were supporting Velvet Revolver at the Odyssey back in June until I arrived at the gig; I saw them and thought of you :D Hope you were able to make it.
Well, I'd seen then a couple of weeks before in the Spring and Airbrake, so I didn't go to that. I heard they were a bit crap that night though...

Yup, and recorded in one day :)

**drool**

This is almost the spur I need to get off my lazy arse and get a job

Yes.

Everybody should own at least one copy of this album.

Possibly two in case you lose one.

1. Nah. Never been a big Tool fan.

2. Human Fortress - "Schattentor" (five points goes to anyone who has actually heard these guys)

3. Ryvyssyr

4. Hmmm. 'Tis a hard one. I'm going to go ahead and say Ayreon's "Into the Electric Castle" is a true masterpiece.

But don't you think there's no real artistic progress/growth/improvement etc. between parachutes and x&y? Hmmm... I suppose so, there isn't that much difference... It's still a great album, it's just nothing new, unlike parachutes.

I saw them on the Twisted Logic tour, and they're still as brilliant as ever live :D

Yes.

Everybody should own at least one copy of this album.

Judging by your otherwise excellent musical taste (well, you like 65dos :D ), maybe I shall look into Biffy Clyro. By the way, you know this year, 65dos have dates in Holland, Belgium and Norway, but none for Ireland? :p You'll get to see them eventually, I'm sure.

Everybody keeps saying how good 65dos are live. Come on, how can Norway be cheaper to go to than Belfast? :(

1. Meh. Tool is okay, but I don't listen to them.
2. Nothing musical at the moment.
3. Tyby.
4. Operation: Mindcrime by Queensrÿche. Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd is almost a tie.

5. If you are listening to sad/melancholic music for some time, do you start feeling better or even worse and more depressed than before?I almost always start to feel better.

I almost always start to feel better.
used to have that effect on me too, but nowadays i tend to end up feeling worse

listening to: No Way by Korn

listening to: No Way by KornWell of course you'd feel worse, you're listening to Korn. Lol.

I went to see shihad at valve in wellington tonight. It's great to see a band that big (in New Zealand at least) at such a small venue (less than 150 people). It went off. I scored a setlist and a whole load of sweat from various people. Awesome.

Well of course you'd feel worse, you're listening to Korn. Lol.
:D

nu-metal is the opiate i can listen to all day without paying any attention


edit: now listening to In Flames - Swim... much better :P
