Fix You - Coldplay

X&Y is one of the best albums of all time. every song is Coldplay at their very best and this one is, imo, the best song on the album.

Disagree. Frost blows Hellhammer away with blastbeats for example. So much faster, tighter and powerful. (and without triggered drums) Hellhammer isn't a good drummer for traditional BM imo. triggered drums in trad. BM should be illegal. That's why I like him the most in Arcturus, Winds, etc. Definitely not a drummer that put his quality out of speed, still very good though. Also a poser and sellout, but that's something else.


Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun

I couldn't get much into Sigur Ros before, but it starts growing on me, I catch myself playing this album more and more. Nice laidfback after mostly listening to extreme metal. A good calmdown, before putting the Dehumanized album on again.

In Flames - Episode 666

One of the few songs i've heard from the albums before Clayman. The sound is pretty different, and i really need to listen to more songs from the earlier albums.

[Naked Gackt]

Dir en grey - Children

I've never bothered to lookup the translation for this song, I think I should though. Saying that though from the title I'm not sure it'll be very nice. Either way it's a great song, this was just as they started to go downhill, this si really where their style started to change tfor the worse, but still at least at this point it WAS something new and different.

8/10

[The Man]

Hellhammer's great, but there are a few drummers who manage to beat him for sheer speed and intensity. Frost is one; Proscriptor is another. And maybe Bränn Dailor, even if he's not a black metal drummer.

Wintersun - Starchild

If more power metal were as good as Wintersun, I'd probably listen to it more often.

[Tyler]

Guns N' Roses - Mr. Brownstone

I missed today...all because of that Mr. Brownstone.

Well, I'm not into heroine (yet), I was just felt as if I was gonna throw up any moment.

[The Man]

Bathory - Blood Fire Death

Strong contender for the mantle of best black metal album ever.

QFT

Heinous Killings - Asphyxiating Soil

Some realy innovative and incredible vocals. I have no idea how Joe Wolfe pull of these brutal Predator vocals, but they are sick as ****. the music is kinda repetitive, but now it's a full band, there's sure plenty of potential in this band. I need to see this live

[Sunshine]

Arcturus' "The Sham Mirrors" really reflects Axel's performances. I mean, Hellhammer's just marvellous on the album, well, awesome in general, but this album is just brilliant drumming wise. If you're looking at speed, you've got to look at Dave Mackintosh and Max Kolesne, and if you're looking at blastbeats, again, Dave Mackintosh, Max Kolesne, Nicholas Barker, Derek Roddy and Flo Mounier are some essential names, and if you're talking about generally brilliant drummers, you've got to mention Portnoy in there, just because imo, he's the best drummer ever.

NP: Ulver - In The Red

If it's by Ulver, it's usually an awesome track. "In The Red" is one of those usual songs.

[The Man]

Agreed on "The Sham Mirrors" and Mounier. Still, Frost's speed is probably unparalleled, except maybe by Proscriptor. I'm having a hard time deciding whose drumming is more mind-bending, so the only solution is to listen to a bunch of Absu and 1349 in succession.

Absu - Pillars of Mercy

[Sunshine]

You have good tastes, Aaron.

NP: Arcturus - Kinetic

I've got myself started now. Hellhammer's random introduction of double pedals is brilliant in this song, and the general over-voices are brilliant, the fun-fair sounding theme about 3 and half minutes into it being damn effective. It's a nice flowing song, and I feel that it's a good album introduction song.

[Exodus]

Queensryche - Take hold of the Flame

Probably posted this song before. Its their best damn song they have.

[Antikhrist]

OK Go
>>Here it Goes Again

Haven't listened to OK Go lately. Their songs are really catchy.

[Sovereign]

Black Flag - The First Four Years

They're off the wall punk rock.

[The Man]

How odd, I was just listening to Damaged right now. I can kinda see why all those cenosrship groups were worried this album would destroy society, and I wouldn't have it any other way <3

Black Flag - Gimme Gimme Gimme

Not sure if it's still true but 3 years ago Yoshiki Hayashi held the fastest drummer record.

Dir en gey - 蟲-mushi-

Great acoustic song, may have rated this one pretty recently actually. Builds up very well, not the greatest vocals Kyo has ever put on show but this one is all about the music.

8/10

[The Man]

Bill Hicks - My Parents

From Dangerous, but I think the tracks on this album are mislabeled, because this one's about porno in hotel rooms. Still, hilarious stuff.

[Beeble]

Killswitch Engage - World Ablaze

First song i ever hear from Killswitch. So i can't really say much about it, but it's not bad.

[Antikhrist]

The Strokes
>>Someday

I've only listened to a handful of their songs, but this one's my favorite.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Slow Riot For Zero Kanada EP

Just arrived today in the mail my GY!BE collection completed., So I just opened my package, and releasing the cd from the (as usual) enigmatic digipak with high expectations, putting the cd in my player with almost shakey hands. As far as I listened to it, this seems very good material. Some say the best they have ever done, but I need to listen all the way through to agree or disagree.
