rolling enlightening music discussion thread

so i really dug their demo CD in 2006 and kind of skipped their album in 2008 due to hype backlash i guess... then after hearing everyone say their performance on SNL was subpar i had to go download the episode myself and see.

turns out it kind of blew me away and i am now digging their LP/EP. i'm liking it even more than the demo and really getting a Morricone vibe on a lot of songs. sticking it on my 'pod next time i do a stagecoach holdup.

Here are the top 5 most similar other voters for each voter. The decimal number is a rough measurement of similarity: 1.000 would mean the two people's ballots exactly matched. This takes into account album popularity, so the fewer people voted for an album, the more similar two voters are for sharing it. The second number is the raw number of albums in common.

oh to be young and annoying again.

Album pics not showing on metal poll results

every glenn mcdonald post should be followed up with the question, "so how does the music sound?"

what are you supposed to do with this information??

ur mind is supposed to chew on it like day-old beef jerky

"I love me some Can (notably Monster Movie), but they don't hold a Teutonic candle to the `Werk."

dead wrong as usual, my friend.

dead wrong

as usual

my friend

"the 'werk'"

does he say it like 'the work' or 'the verk'

that pazz n jop thread is being super-enlightening this evening

hey rox, picked up an opeth cd and a burzum cd tonight *thumbs up*

so u used just your fingers?

which burzum btw

daudi baldrs

<3!!!!!

now THAT is some enlightening music discussion

See, these were the kinds of words of warning I might have hoped for. If Last.fm can scrobble You Tube, so what? Just because heroin is supposed to make me feel good, does that mean I should do it? I think not!

words of wisdom.

I'd be a lot more o_O at the oddball metal stats if I wasn't currently organizing the same noise with that 'best games of the year' stuff.
