Johnny Truant Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 i agree with everything in that statement so i saw the gaslight anthem on sunday (my third time) and they killed it, like they always dosaw people moshing to great expectations, never thought id see that then after them was the replacements and they had the energy of dudes in their mid-20s, it was incredible then pearl jam, and they just played a bunch of the new album and other stuff not from ten or vs. or vitalogy like no betterman or jeremy i guess eddie vedder would rather cover neil young and tell people to register to vote than play pearl jam's good songsthey played alive, daughter and even flow though, that was cool it was alright though, the band sounded good and i discovered that the best replacements song is androgynous...tied with a bunch of other ones but androgynous is really really good Quote only in dreams.

Laughing Man Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 what has everybody been listening to lately? anything in particular? I've been listening to Weezer a lot since they just dropped their new album, but mostly I've been gettin into the October spirit with a lot of gothic rock, deathrock, darker strains of post-punk, etc. and some doom metal and atmospheric melodeath as well.

Xinlo Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Katatonia, Megadeth, Thin Lizzy and Anacrusis mostly, along with the songs you sent me by some of said gothic rock bands.

Laughing Man Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) this ought to make at least one other person around here happy: Refused are working on a new album. I just recently picked up their last album The Shape of Punk to Come and gave it a listen, and though I'd be lying if I said that I loved it as much as everyone else seems to, I did enjoy it (and who knows, maybe it'll grow on me even more) and I look forward to seeing what they do next. I also need to dig into their back catalog a bit. unrelated to that, we're nearing the end of the year and there have been a handful of major releases within the past few weeks, so now seems like as good a time to ask this again as any: favorite albums of the year so far, people? in unbiased, alphabetical order I've dug Transgender Dysphora Blues by Against Me!, Distant Satellites by Anathema, At War with Reality by At the Gates, Beyond Calculation by The Austerity Program, La Gárgola by Chevelle, The Powers That B - Part 1 by Death Grips, From Parts Unknown by Every Time I Die, IV - One with the Storm by Ghost Brigade, Plowing into Fields of Love by Iceage, Shadows of the Dying Sun by Insomnium, El Pintor by Interpol, Phantom Shadow by Machinae Supremacy, Run the Jewels 2 by Run the Jewels, Ultraviolet by Sadistik, Ultra Silvam by Ştiu Nu Ştiu, Heathen by Thou, and Evertything Will Be Alright in the End by Weezer more than anything else I've heard this year. still have a few things I need to check out though, and there are at least a couple more albums I'm interested in that haven't been released yet.

Queen of Liars Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm waiting for something official on the Refused album before I start getting excited, but yeah, if it's real then it's huge. It's a shame that Jon had to leave the band for whatever reason and whatever happened between them, but Dennis and David have pretty much always been the real brains behind the music, so I have faith in them.I don't know how something could possibly live up to TSoPtC and 15+ years, but I'd be all over it the moment it came out it. As for favourite albums of the year thus far, my list hasn't really changed all that much. In the top tier I have Ghouleh by Starofash, Z² by Devin Townsend, Noise by Boris, The Satanist by Behemoth, Casualties of Cool by Casualties of Cool, Splinters by Vallenfyre, Enter by Fire! Orchestra, Longhena by Gridlink, Esoteric Warfare by Mayhem, Once More 'Round the Sun by Mastodon, Piano Nights by Bohren & Der Club of Gore and the soundtrack to The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth by Ridiculon. And then other worthwhile stuff includes Our Time Will Come by KMFDM, Xenon by Mechina, Ultra SIlvam by Ştiu Nu Ştiu, Oi Magoi by Hail Spirit Noir, Matters of Mind, Body and Soulby Clan of Xymox, The Joy of Motion by Animals as Leaders, Shogunate Macabre by Whispered, Distant Satellites by Anathema, Bliss*cough* by Trap Them, Regicide by Hour of Penance, The World We Left Behind by Nachtmystium, Pale Communion by Opeth and The Black Wild Yonder by Words of Farewell. There's still stuff I have yet to hear like the new At the Gates, as well as stuff that hasn't come out yet, like the new Bloodbath and Machine Head. The new Goto Mariko album comes out tomorrow, on my birthday coincidentally, but I don't know how easy it will be to get to listen to that since it will only be released in Japan.Also I can't really even pretend that I'm anywhere near into her solo pop stuff as much as I was into the erratic hardcore punk/jazz fusion thing she was doing with Midori, but I'm still interested in the new album.

Laughing Man Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) I've already asked the favorite-albums-of-the-year question to death, but since it is the actual end of the year now.. ..I'll ask what everybody is looking forward to in 2015 instead. I'll edit this with my list once I actually bother to do enough research to know what's confirmed to be coming out next year. the new Anthrax is one that immediately springs to mind, though.

Queen of Liars Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'm super excited for the new Refused if it's true, Ihsahn, Paradise Lost, Anthrax and... that's about everything I'm aware of. I'll almost certainly listen to the new Slayer album, but can't really say that I'm particularly excited for it.Alice Cooper is also doing a covers album, but again not really super excited considering it's just a covers album. Can't really think of anything else announced for next year.Should probably look into it, but as usual towards the end of December, I'm trying to fit in as many albums from the year as I can before it ends. Especially this time, since I kinda lost interest in music for a large part of the year and haven't listened to nearly as much stuff as I should have.

Laughing Man Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) two hours of googling, digging through news articles, skimming interviews, and making lists later.. I'm interested in The Mindsweep by Enter Shikari and Apex Predator - Easy Meat by Napalm Death in January, Time and Trauma by 36 Crazyfists in February, Extinct by Moonspell and as-yet-untitled albums by Disarmonia Mundi and Testament in March, and the as-yet-untitled Faith No More and Paradise Lost albums in April. artists with albums that are confirmed to be in the planning, writing, recording, or post-production stages for 2015 that I'm interested in are The Agony Scene, Alice in Chains, Anthrax, The Armed, Beastmilk, Blood Stain Child, Clutch, Danzig, Deafheaven, Death Angel, Deftones, Faith No More, Fear Factory, Gojira, Grimes, Katatonia, Lamb of God, Megadeth, Meshuggah, My Dying Bride, Nails, Obsydians (ex-Sybreed), Samael, Silversun Pickups, The Smashing Pumpkins, Sodom, Soilwork, Soundgarden, Ştiu Nu Ştiu, Swallow the Sun, Tegan and Sara, Chelsea Wolfe, and Rob Zombie. I'm also interested in seeing if anything comes of the rumors that Converge, The Cure, Iron Maiden, and Refused are planning new material. Kreator has also said that 2015 is the earliest they'll release anything else, but so far no specific plans for that have actually been announced.

Laughing Man Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) you'd be surprised how far along some of these already are, too - I know I was. the Chelsea Wolfe albums is already recorded and in the mixing stages, My Dying Bride has been in the studio for months, and Swallow the Sun has had all the material for their album written for over a year. they've been working out some contract issues with Spinefarm Records for a while, but they say those are almost resolved and they'll be recording it soon. somehow all of this managed to slip under my radar until now. Rob Zombie's all done recording his, too. he said he could've released it this year if he had wanted to, but he decided to wait until early 2015.

Best of 2014: Hymns for the Broken- Evergrey and The Quantum Enigma- EpicaWorst of 2014: In Flames' new album Siren Charms is just awful. I can handle them changing styles, but the songs are just cringe-worthy and it might possibly be the last album I ever purchase from them. Releases I look forward to in 2015:Metal bands:-Trivium - Crucial Taunt-Symphony X-Kamelot Not-Metal Bands:-Breaking Benjamin-The All-American Rejects-Red- Of Beauty and Rage I'm super excited for Red and Trivium out of those though.
