but yet again, Electronic fans can be pretty bad. Especially the IDM goers, battling over a genre that shouldn't exist.

Was wondering wtf BOC meant, then remembered it stood for Boards of C***s.

Heck,Tobin isn't even an IDM artist.

Either way, dunno how anyone can hate an album with Rosies on it.

EDIT - Splinter Cell soundtrack also kicked arse.

hehe... you've been around BOC fanboys? As a member of the BOC forum Twoism, I come around some pretty bad ones. Also, the fanboys on the We Are The Music Makers forums can be pretty bad, but not as bad as the Twoismers.

And I've always seen Amon Tobin as an IDM act (especially on this album) because he wasn't slow enough to be any kind of Trip-Hop, and he isn't jazzy enough to be an electronic jazz artist, so I could only come up with the conclusion that he could belong in the dumping ground of IDM.

Also, I've been meaning to check out the Splinter Cell soundtrack, but for some reason, I have something against soundtracks, and there are a few that I've been meaning to DL, like the Inception Soundtrack (the music in that movie kicked major arse). I might get around to doing it.

Trip-DnB. Trip Hop doesn't have to be slow. Pretty fluent DnB influence throughout. In the end tho who gives a damn.

Soundtracks are only not worth getting when there's 8-9 different artists and you only like one. But with ones like SC, + the Silent Hill games, it's well worth checking them out.

Trip-DnB, haven't heard that one before, but it definitely describes Tobin's music well. And like you said, it's hard to deny the DnB influence throughout Tobin's music.

And yeah, I'm always iffy about soundtracks. The Inception one was great because it was just a bunch of songs written by one guy, that completely fit the mood of the movie, which was surreal and dreamy. And also, I've heard some of the Silent Hill soundtracks (from the older games especially) and they are pretty damn cool. which reminds me that I haven't listened to them in years...

#5: The Mars Volta: De-Loused In The Comatorium

Yeah. I wrote a nice long review for this, but then I re-read it and I figured that I'd be murdered by old school proggies for all of the classic prog bashing so I'm just going to keep it short. Cool album, cool sounds, cool guitarist. Good album.

Now, I'm not going to write another review because no matter how I write it, I'm going to go on about how today's prog is much cooler than yesterday's prog. also, a quick question... is that Cedric in the background of the album cover?

You mean la fin?

Great album! Well deserving of its position. I don't know if it would be all-time #5 for me, since I'm old and all, having heard many more albums I assume...but it's damn good. Props for the Amon Tobin too, of course. It was the first of his I ever heard, but it took me a few years to warm up to his style and then check out other albums. I'm not sure why.

Yaaaay, Mars Volta. I still haven't decided whether I like De-Loused or Goliath better. Hrm. The drumming on Goliath is such explosive fun.
