Hahaha! I read that whole paragraph thinking you said Hellhammer, the new Tom Waits project.

Now that would be something to listen to. Tom Waits doing death metal.

Tom Waits speaking voice is already Death Metal sounding, haha.

When it comes to death metal, I don't really listen to it much. I do recognize its importance and respect the genre very much. Bands like Atheist and Necrophagist (just for examples) are pretty untouchable in terms of technicality. Personally, I attribute my lack of a taste for death metal to the difference in generations between myself and most MB members on this forum. I didn't grow up with death metal.

I didn't growup on it either, I aquired a taste for it later in life. There is a lot of great bands to come out of it.

Athiest is great, not a fan of Necrophagist though, I consider them wankers. Yeah it is techincal.

I've been really digging Godflesh's Streetcleaner. Does anyone know any other industrial bands/albums that use that kind of minimalism?

The problem is you've probably heard of all of the recommendations i would give. Rosetta immediately comes to mind and obviously Jesu.

Listened through about 3 EPs of Jesu...HOLY GOD amazing stuff. Everything just melds together musically, and even though there's a doom element in some of their songs- I never sense any melancholy overtones in the overall feeling of their music. Just an amazing band.

So I don't own anything by The Kinks. What is their most essential and best album?

Okay I'll check that album out.

Also, I have an odd question. I have Beggars Banquet, Exile and Sticky Fingers from the Stones and I have Who's Next, Live At Leeds, and Who Sell Out from the Who. I want to get another album from one of them and it's between Let It Bleed (I think that's their best album I don't have right?) from the Stones and Quadrophenia from The Who. What album should I get between them?

you already have had my opinion

if you want to get "Let it Bleed", get the latest 2008 (?) 24-bit remaster cos it's really dynamic and crunchy
