What do you think of...

Postby Kevmaster » Sun Nov 30, 2008 3:02 pm

One could say this is supposed to be un Upgrade of the What Are You Listening To Right Now?-Thread.

You post the song you are currently listening to, but this time around, you don't leave a comment about that song, you leave a comment about the song the above poster was listening to.

Example:

A: Radiohead - 2+2=5
B: Radiohead are overrated, but that song is actually not so bad.
Tool - Jambi

etc.


Also, please refrain from comments like "bad" or "good" without explanantion.

If you don't know the song, either don't post or give it a listen before stating your opinion.

It'd be nice if people could actually hear before commenting, otherwise it might cause a bit of a bottleneck when someone throws out something really obscure!

Or worse, when you throw out Steve Wilson's new album which isn't out on regular CD yet, even if I want it badly :nono:

But to play along - I'm a huge fan of Steve Wilson and I'm certain this album will be amazing stuff. The man's a sound design genius. I'm so glad he's remastering the King Crimson catalogue right now.

Speaking of which, King Crimson - Fracture (Live, Providence RI, June 30 1973).

Also, disregard the above post - re: Insurgentes = most likely the best new album I have heard since 77RUS, i.e. in 22 months of listening. I still don't really get EVERY piece contained in it YET, but on the whole it is causing me multiple orgasms right now.

Even if this fails as a what-are-you-listening-to thread, let's make this Insurgentes-wanking thread. :awesome:

Sounds good to me Oto! :ying:

On that song, saying that Steven Wilson remastered it makes me want to check them out! :O
So, I have not listened to them yet, and can't say anything proper about them, but will check into them soon. :up:

Haha, this is literally my favorite track right now and is about to hit the top on my listening list, despite the fact that I've only had it for a day. Definitely my favorite on the album at the moment.

Opeth - Bleak

Produced by Steven Wilson too :mrgreen:

Actually I'm totally not a fanboy. I just liked (or absolutely loved) all his work so far.

Justify this outrageous claim this instance!

Opeth - Bleak

Orgasmic!
One of my favorite Opeth songs, along with.. most stuff from Blackwater Park. Actually, it's sort of my favorite from the album, along with The Drapery Falls.

Tool - Prison Sex

Not produced by Steven Wilson :P

My favorite song on Undertow. And also one of my favorite Tool songs in general. Pretty fun song even though it's suppose to be about either rape or child abuse......I think <.>. Either way I love it. The video is very artistic too.

Not a bad song at all. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but I can still listen to it without wanting to cringe. Basically, it makes me want to check out the rest of the album.

I remember this song from the video, if i'm correct this was the 2nd single off there 3rd studio album, Now that listening to it right now, its one of the Slipknot songs that I can listen to, its not one of those songs that give you a headache IMO.

Million dead - I Am The Party

Time to get your manifestos out.
