I want to know what you think of my favourite!
Justice - Cross Do you need a torrent or download link? |
I can't download because my Wi-Fi sucks right now.
I'll add that onto my list of things to do. =P Thank youu. [= |
I try to take expand my horizons by following a kind of progression. I'll listen to a band, find something similar, listen to that, find something similar, get into to and so on. Years later, I look at what I like the most now and what I liked when I was first into music and the bands are totally different, yet I can still see the similarities. I find it very hard to step completely out of my element. Chances are if you are just starting to expand, totally changing your tastes will not happen.
So you like Coheed? I love Coheed...I started listening to Coheed because of my love for Rush. Awesome guitars and high distinctive vocals led to an interest in that. Maybe for you it can be reversed...check out the albums Moving Pictures and 2112. Now, if you want to go a bit more extreme and don't mind heavy more check out Opeth. Very progressive. Amazing AMAZING guitar work. One thing that throws people about this band is the death metal vocals...but he only uses them when they suit that music because he actually uses clean vocals a bit more than the growl. Check out the album Ghost Reveries if that sounds interesting to you. These albums may not be totally out of your element, but it is a definite expansion. Check these out and then I think one day you will LOVE Mezzanine just because your ear will be tuned more to pick up the subtleties of the music. |

I did try listening to Rush, and I wasn't really into them, I don't know what it was, but maybe I'll try one of the albums you mentioned, anyway. Opeth is an amazing band, I've hears some of their work already, and I'd love to listen to some more, so thank you for that recommendation. I've actually literally trained myself aurally, so that's not the problem here. It's more a thing of the mind. And I suppose I gave off the wrong idea, because I really liked Mezzanine. I'm not sure if you read the whole review through, because it's really long, but it was an album I really want to own. To Everyone: I'm not sure this whole idea was taken in quite the way I intended for it to be taken. I mean to broaden my horizons, but I also want to learn to judge music more open mindedly. So the judgments are more for myself to read over than for you to take seriously. I'm taking first impressions of everything, and realizing how I percieve what I listen to at first, and I need to take a step back, and approach with an open mind. I'm sure if you all notice, you may see that I'm excited to find out how I'm approaching each song differently as the albums progress. |
I say if you really want to challenge yourself...you being someone who admittedly likes vocals...try out the Campfire Headphase by Boards of Canada. Truly a masterpiece in my mind, no electronic band has come close to this. However, it is all instrumental...but I think if you can get into it you will see how it is truly a desert island kind of album.
I would also be very interested to read a track by track account of your reaction to it. |
Ah that's such a good idea, I didn't think about instrumentals.
That way I can try focusing on everything aside from vocals. Instrumentals made the biggest impact on me in my other thread on this forum. ^_^ I didn't think about that, thank you. |
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News I decided to listen to Modest Mouse because I’ve heard a lot about them as well. |
I loved being quoted in a review lol.
I haven't listened to that album in particular, but I kinda like Modest Mouse, so I guess I'll get that one soon. Glad to see a new review, and a glad to see you enjoying the new music. |
^_^ I had to quote youuu, it was very true.
And you should definitely listen to this album, it's amazing. [= Glad you read, Melissa!. <3 |
Glad you liked that album, it was one of my firsts. Just keep an eye out on that list of mine, they're all pretty good albums all though a few may take just a tad more spins then this did to hit ya. Who knows, maybe not, they all hit me pretty easy.
I'd suggest that Gram Rabbit album next, it's pretty good but odd. Also it's pretty accessible, and was again one of the firsts things I found that I liked. My next two choices out of the bunch would be the Tears For Fears album or The Murder City Devils one. Both easy listening but again both pretty good and have something interesting about them. I'm sure there's going to be stuff in your journey that rubs ya the wrong way at first but those are usually the things, in my experience, after a while I end-up loving the most about the album and also the things that make them good even a year later. Also those rough spots for me are usually the things that eventually end-up opening my taste up, widening my acceptance, and letting me really enjoy truly great albums that I wouldn't have been able to enjoy otherwise. It's a slow but fulfilling process and should never be forced but rather not even be acknowledged- it's much better to enjoy it while it is happening by simply keeping an open mind and letting the music get to ya. Music is so fucking amazing when the time is just right. |
I work in a really different way though, Schizo.
Things don't just happen for me like that very often. I have to push things or they'll never get done. I'm really glad I liked the Modest Mouse album, and I'm sure there'll be many more albums on here I like, but again, it's more so that I'm aware of these albums. So that I have the knowledge of the different artists and everything that's around. I can now have a conversation, maybe not as substantial as I would like, about the three bands I've been suggested and listened to. For me, this is really important. And now I can listen to some more Modest Mouse, and hopefully I'll be able to like some more of their work. It's all about how I learn, and how I push myself. I guess I'm kind of challenging myself. I get the reward of music itself, of course I do. I'm a musician. ^_^ But sometimes you just have to remind yourself there's more out there than you know. Same way if you want to know something, you just Google it. I don't know if that makes sense, but it worked in my head. |
After taking back my fugazi Recommendation, I'm going to add
Nirvana - In Utero Operation Ivy - Energy If you need the links just ask, I'm really interested in what you would think of Energy, , it might not be the right album to choose for the situation you're in though just like I thought with Fugazi.. |

Actually, if you have any of the links, I'd love to listen to another from your list.
I loved the Modest Mouse but there is only one working link for that, that I know of, and it needs a password. :love: I'm glad you liked my cover! |
Before I went to Uni I was really closwed minded about other genres of music.
Although not as bad as some I stuck bery much to the Alternative Genre whether it be Metal, Indie classic rock whatever really, as long as it was white men with guitars bass and a drum kit. Then one of my friends gave me some of the best advice ive ever had and to this day I still quote this guy to people, "All music is there to be enjoyed so why would you wanna restrict yourself" Pretty simple really but absolutely spot on all music appeals to a certain people and therefore it could appeal to you gievn half the chance, whats the worse that could happen, you might not like it. On the other hand you could discover something mindblowing. All music's a journey and that one thing could take you in a completely different directions. Now I listen to Reggae, Hip Hop, blues, jazz, soul, Dnb, Dustep, Trance, Dub and anything else you might think of. There really is good artists in almost every genre just waitng to be found. |

Maybe I use "too much" too much. I think with that track I was just overwhelmed with everything going on. I will listen to it again, though. [= |
I saw Funeral by Arcade Fire on schizo's list. Do that next.

Awwsugar, definitely I will get you a link. Do you want me to pick which album I give you the link to? If not just send a PM with the name of it and I should be able to get it to you lickity splickity. |
Sorry to interject here but honestly, At War with the Mystics is shit. The Soft Bulletin is undeniably their "pop record"; and one of the absolute best in that genre. Much less experimentalism on the Soft Bulletin than previous and later releases.
Taster: Possibly my favorite Lips song, and a song sure to stick in your head for days on end. The drums are killer too. |
^ I like that.
:3 The beginning made my head feel weird cause sounds were coming from different places of my laptop. I don't know how to explain it. But I like the song a bit. ^_^ |
A listen through the Soft Bulletin with some really nice headphones is guaranteed to put you in a good mood. I can get you a link if you want.
|
That would be great. [=
Thank you! |
Promise you'll review it? ;)
|
Hehe, I promise it'll be the next thing I review.
:love: |
Link sent. Always good to share some of my favorite music
|
Yayy, I'll get right on that when I wake up.
|
Its only really the start of stress thats annoying, its a great song once it gets into it :D I'm so happy you overall liked the album, yay! :D
