OT: Music Thread

kanye west and kendrick lamar new album are enough to get me through the year

all the other good stuff slated to come out is just gravy

this song is my current jam:

 

[Identity404]

Typically into more "underground" rap like MF Doom, Run the Jewels, EL-P, Danny Brown, but since I heard this song in da club on NYE I can get it out of my head.

i love makonnen is another artist that is way better than you would expect

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Strapping Young Lad is p good for a band no one has likely heard of. Satan's Ice Cream Truck is also, unsurprisingly, a p good song.

Yeah, Makonnen is pretty good. I thought he was just a scrub that got lucky Drake remixed one of his songs at first. The original tuesday is actually better without drake IMO. I don't sell molly no more is also a better song...

Muse's new album will be called Drones and should be released around May.

I'm so excited.

They're basically getting to the point where this next album has to be spot on for me. Wasn't a big fan of the last two they put out.

You disliked The Resistance? Get. out. now.

They said they're stripping it back and getting back to basic rock and losing the orchestras and all for this one so I'm excited about it.

I was meh on The Resistance but I enjoyed The 2nd Law pretty well.

[DaveG]

You disliked The Uprising? Get. out. now.

The Resistance: Decent album, definitely was worth buying, but nowhere near as cohesive as some of their earlier releases and more then one or two songs that were just flat out misses to me on that album. Half the album was flat out, full stop, amazing. The Uprising, Unnatural Selection, United States of Eurasia, and the Exogenesis Symphony tracks.

MK Ultra and Resistance were decent, but was just kindof there for me. Rest of the album I could have done without.

Wasn't a fan of The 2nd Law in all honesty. Some James Bond sounding **** on there, which is awesome, but for the most part other then that the album was either entirely forgettable for me or unabashedly annoying (Madness & their pseudo Dub-Step stuff on there).

 

[nobuddy]

You didn't like Undisclosed Desires?

 

[DaveG]

Haven't given that one a listen in a while, probably was in that realm with MK Ultra since it didn't stand out negatively when thinking back on the album, usually I can pinpoint songs that piss me off on an album and it didn't click immediately in that way

If you like James Bound sounding ****, how are you for Portishead?

 

[the halleJOKEL]

muse is one of those bands i like but not enough to actually name more than a handful of songs i like

when i listen to their albums i get bored and change to something else usually

 

[DaveG]

I'm a fan, they've been getting pretty regular play on one of my work pandora stations for a while now.

 

[nobuddy]

muse live is so GOAT

plug in baby and knights of cydonia are spiritual experiences

 

[DaveG]

Agreed entirely on that, I've seen them live twice now and will make a point of seeing them a 3rd time if they come back by the area. Muse and U2 at Carter Finley was probably the best show I've ever seen in person, with the only things close being MMB and Dropkick Murphys back in I want to say 97, and 311 and Wyclef at WVU fall fest 02. Of course, I got a concussion from a crowd surfer at the later one there.

Absolutely agree here. The only thing that came close was seeing Alison Krauss and Willie Nelson this past year. Willie's an institution and Krauss' voice is just amazing.

After 17 years, it's amazing how well the Resident Evil 2 sound track still holds up. This is still some seriously creepy stuff. I always found this to be the scariest game of the bunch btw, however, the scariest game of all time is still Silent Hill 2.

 

[jacko23]

all these rappers being mentioned on here, i was starting to lose hope. the Muse talk raised my spirits a bit, and ill listen to just about anything, but rock and metal are my vices.

i was thrilled that someone knew who Strapping Young Lad was! anything Devin Townsend releases is basically gold!

as im typing this, im listenting to the new Periphery album, but typically im listening to things like Alter Bridge, Volbeat, Trivium, Black Label Society, Dream Theater, etc...

also....
Lamb of God
TesseracT
Insomnium

and floating around Youtube until i can find some good melodic death metal to. most people say i look like someone who listens to country or pop, but surprise!!! im a metalhead. we need more of em in these parts...

 

[the halleJOKEL]

hip hop music is actually really good sorry you have a closed mind
