If you're ever in Great Yarmouth, you absolutely have to commit suicide. This place is a dump.

Yeah. That's really my only criticism - not doom enough. Neurosis' Through Silver in Blood does the whole apocalyptic thing better than FoE, but I do think that FoE is definitely the more consistent band out of the two. Neurosis jump genres far too much, to be honest - and they're not necessarily good at all of them. They should've stuck to crafting brilliant sludge albums. However, The Eye of Every Storm is good sludgy post-rock. I'm glad that this band is well-received here. They seem to be fairly under-appreciated (but that may be more to do with the nature of their music than anything else) and deserving of more listeners. Do look out for a band called Æsahættr. I'm told that it's a new project by some members of FoE, what with the impending breakup and all.

Fall of Efrafa's album Inlé. This is the second time I've listened to this album in the course of the last couple of days. I thought it was amazing the first time, but it's actually beyond amazing. This is as good as it gets for the genre.

Recently, I discovered Fall of Efrafra. Their music sounds as if Envy met sludge-era Neurosis - but that doesn't really say much. Ground-shattering riffs, forced vocals and beautiful ambient passages put this band in a leage of their own. One of their labels has put their latest album Inlé up for free download. You can also stream it on the page if you so please. http://www.denovali.com/fallofefrafa/ Republic of Heaven is a beautiful song.

The whole of Fall of Efrafa's album Inlé. Even though it's about Watership Down essentially, I can't help but feel that those earthquake-inducing riffs and forced vocals are the perfect soundtrack to an epic battle.

Just listened to that A Tribe Called Quest album. Really chill.

Maybe it's just because I'm used to it and don't really think much of it as a result. I'm not interested in relationships or anything related, mind, and thus know very little.

It's not that damn weird. Guys date younger girls. Fact of life. And also, I didn't think anything happened, nor did the relationships even last long. I don't follow my friends' every relationship moves.

Heh. Always fun to pull stuff like that; but it's not that weird in my opinion, seeing as some of my 17 year old friends have had girlfriends around that age. If they were a year older though, it would probably be a little odd, but yeah.

Stars of the Lid's album The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid.

Motoro Faam's album ...and Water Cycles. This stuff is beautiful. It's similar to Kashiwa Daisuke and World's End Girlfriend - classical music which incorporates elements of IDM.

Needless to Say's album Bourgeoisie.

Beatles albums are perhaps too obvious choices for the lists? I don't know.

It really is a mystery why people seem to think you're a good poster. Yes, this. 'Manufactured pop' is fun. That's all I care about. Music doesn't have to require skill to be enjoyable - personally, I find playing triange or banging a tambourine quite relaxing and amazingly entertaining.

Ahmad Jamal's album The Awakening. I've been using some of my free time to get into jazz. It's really paying off. Jazz is a genre of music that certainly rewards patience.

ROUND TABLE featuring Nino's album Nino.

Best way to be. I wasn't trying to start anything, but I do lump westerners who call themselves otaku with the socially-deficient Japanese that also use that term.

I grew up listening to classical music, and for years and years I told myself I hated anything rock and pop. I was just as, if not even more, closeminded than you are back then. But the moment I heard a heavy metal song, I vowed myself to explore the music world outside of classical. Limiting yourself to pretty much one genre of music isn't good for your attitude. Also, Intriguing, How2PK and I all have rather different tastes in music and we all seem to get along just fine. You know why? Appreciation and respect. I can't really think of a time that any of us did what you did and called a collective pool of music bad. Don't get me wrong - I have certain bands I detest - but at least I try to explore the genre a little further before I decide whether or not it sucks. You see, the thing here is: none of us said that your music was bad. You said that stuff on MTV and anything modern was bad. You also hate rap, electronic music and country, with the exception of Johnny Cash. I think you have absolutely zero right to call anyone ignorant when it comes to music. I wouldn't mind so much if you had provided reasons outside of "this is garbage", because that shows that you've put no effort at all into trying a full album by any MTV/modern/rap/elec/country artist. You strike me as a person who will listen to one song by a band and then decide, which is very shortsighted and ignorant. Albuns generally tend to flow together and will provide you with a much stronger opinion of the artist's music than a hit single will. (Even if hit singles are designed to showcase an artist's style, they don't really work. Nothing captures an artist more than full albums they've put out). I think that you need to take a break from posting about music for a while.

Maybeshewill's album Not for Want of Trying.

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/07/1 ... struction/ This is why I hate otaku. This is why I hate weeaboos. This is why I hate Japan (to an extent). I sincerely hope that nobody here calls themself an otaku.

Blackbird Raum - Silent Spring

Pretty much anything by Leftöver Crack will really get me pumped up.

1) You're just another typical classic rock evangelist. You clearly know absolutely nothing about music beyond The Doors, The Beatles and AC/DC, yet you try to come off as if you're interesting. I'm quite sure that a few of the bands on MTV fall outside your frankly moronic stereotyping of modern music. 2) The fact that you know absolutely zero about music is enforced by the fact that you call all electronic music techno. Nice try. 3) Indie music sells quite well in the UK, actually. For example, Bloc Party is signed to an indie label and they seem to be doing quite fine. Again, this shows that you're trying to come off as a musical intellectual - in fact, most indie bands are indie or even self-released because they want to be, not because they don't sell. Broken Social Scene is yet another example that subverts your puerile analysis of indie music: You Forgot It In People was released on an indie label, and after Pitchfork reviewed it, it was selling out in all stores everywhere. 4) LOL I LIKE EVERYTHING EXCEPT COUNTRY AND RAP YOU GUYS! Oh wait, you're a troll and you're certainly not 21.
