all things steven wilson, jakob, king crimson, anathema, trifonic, opeth, this will destroy you

mm mm

For some reason, I think there was some re-issue that re-used that cover. It might not have been an official one, though.

doubt it would've been official. there are loads of bootlegs of it obviously

[Zazie]

the beatles are so great because they pushed the boundaries of pop music to its limit and they (almost entirely by themselves) were a revolution in the music industry. i am not their biggest fan or anything but god damn if you can't appreciate what they did for music you are probably dull. the only other bands i can compare to them are king crimson and pink floyd.

I just have to point out that Pet Sounds and Fifth Dimension came out before Revolver. And Phil Spector was doing his trademark production for a few years since then. (Freak Out and Love were pretty boundary pushing but I am not sure if they had much recording innovation and weren't all that mainstream *) Now the Beatles were probably the most influential when it came to music recording, but saying they pushed the limits entirely by themselves is probably a bit too charitable.

*yeah I have a lot of stuff I need to listen to.

Regarding Linkin Park, the only songs I like are the poppier/more electronic ones. They seem to do it a lot better than rap-metal or whatever it is they play normally.

Oh, definitely. I couldn't see an official product re-using it, no matter how popular it is. (And it's clear that it is popular by the amount of bootlegs of it!)

I actually prefer their rap-metal to the electronica. The rap/metal songs are just written and composed better imo. But hey, to each their own.

Chester Bennington's vocals are far too exaggerated, and Mike Shinoda isn't good at rapping. Most Linkin Park songs have awful lyrics. But people like them because their music is accessible. I'll try not to speak for everyone, but a lot of people I've known to like Linkin Park (including myself) grew out of it.

jakob

You da man.

Also it seems like I've made my first post that counted towards post count since January... geez I remember when I used to be a posting whore.

Yeah, even as a longtime fan, I know the lyrics suck, but I do like the melodies and instruments. i personally like the two vocalists. But yeah, bands like Judas Priest, Queen, Metallica, Led Zep, and Black Sabbath kick their asses to Alpha Centauri and back.

wahta we talkin bout?

why have you not outed yourself as a jakob fan sooner? so keen for album #4

I don't really think it's fair to compare them because LP are much more modern than those bands. But as far as metal goes, I'm not a big fan of much of it, but I'll always tune into some 80's thrash given the chance.

Yeah, this. They're... really a LOT different to e.g. Judas Priest, Metallica.

Get yourself some Voivod albums if you can.

[pokemonsquared]

There must be some sort of trick I'm not getting here.

I'm ever so slightly upset that I can't join in with the 'what are your classes' thread

I graduated last year with a Bachelor's in English, and now I'm on the jobhunt. If I could afford it, I'd definitely start on a Masters course, but obviously I'd need a job to earn money for it...

Eep. /general chatting.

picked up an iPhone 5 yesterday. Didnt wanna leave Android but 12 phone in 2 years is a hard pill to swallow, so I had to say bye.

does she have a butcher cover Yesterday and Today? that would make me jealous

The one with all the weird guts right? Then yes, she has a butcher cover.

You mean this one, right?

If it's real, holy ****. If it's a bootleg, it's a cool-looking bootleg.
