Dave Gilmour- Remember That Night: Live At The Royal Albert Hall
Im downloading this and this:The Chronicles of Israfel - Starborn, Tome I

As soon as I get home from work! :rock:


It's a great albm Shea, you can't go wrong with it!!! Tell me about Minus the Bear....I've never heard any of their stuff but I think they'd be right up my alley (from what other people have said about them)
Minus the Bear is mostly clean guitar tones but excellent songwriting. Its all about the groove! They've got clean vocals and excellent lyrical content. The main guy used to be in the metalcore band Botch, but this band sounds nothing like that. But they've got great chops and make good use of loops and delay. If you want Ill upload it when I get home. :yes:
 
If you can't find the Chronicles of Israfel CD, I can send it to you. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not up anywhere. As good as it is, unfortunately, it really wasn't even released by a record label, and they've seriously only ever played about two shows. :confused:

I'm going to be really bad and just put up some songs myself:

Lotus

That's the last track off of Planet of Ice. It's immeasurably darker compared to their past stuff, but that was the one that caught my attention first when I listened to this one.

Burying Luck

The first track off of Planet of Ice, which is a lot more upbeat and more like the rest of the songs on the CD, though not nearly as upbeat as their older stuff.

Absinthe Party At The Fly Honey Warehouse

This is most likely the song they were originally known for. It's in their old style with no shortage of two handed tapping abuse, and seemingly not-so-serious lyrics and subject matter that revolves almost exclusively around drinking and sex, aka ROCK AND ROLL.

If you like that stuff, there's a good chance you'd like all of their CDs all the way through. If you don't like it, you have no chance to survive make your time.

I dunno, it's funny to listen back on Botch now and hear where the MTB in him tried to get out. There's a ridiculously MTB-esque part in the middle of "C. Thomas Howell As The Soul Man" on We Are The Romans, and of course, he can't seem to stop himself from doing tons of guitar parts at once and mixing up all the time signatures. Some dissonant stuff even pokes its head up in MTB every once in a while. :D

Hmm... I do enjoy Riders of the Plague. Also Bad Religion's New Maps of Hell. Smashing Pumpkins latest is allright. Oh, yeah, I also really like socmonki's new stuff...

wow...someone mentioned me! :rock: you rock dude!

2007's been kinda bland for me...symphony x's new CD rocks, i love it. the new Absence is great as well...i was disappointed in Soilwork's new one though, and Coheeds was good and is a lot better than some give it credit for. you just have to listen to it a few times, but i still think Good Apollo was better.

oh, and my new album :lol: :LOL: sorry, it may sound conceited but it rocks, what can i say? :rock:

I'm a HUGE Coheed fan, have been listening to them since they were still Shabutie, but I just don't like the new record. The Reaping and NWFT are awesome, and then it just drops from there. The version of Mother Superior they used sucks IMO. Radio Bye Bye and The End Complete are awesome. The Road and the Dammed is O.K, and On The Brink starts off SO well, and then just turns to shit out of nowhere. :cry:
 
Divine Heresy : bleed the fifth
Alter Bridge : Blackbird
Symphony X : paradise lost
Exodus : The Atrocity Exhibition
Spoil Engine : Skinnerbox v0.7
Aborted : S&A
 
Like the last several years (for me), the music releases were disappointing, especially with all the "nostalgia acts" like VH, Police-grossing $212 million, Genesis, etc., touring without any new music released. Don't know if all of these were released in 2007, but my current list would be - in no order....

Additional Moog (33 and 1/3)
Wilco (sky blue sky)
Creature with the Atom Brain (I am the golden gate)
Matt Nathanson (some mad hope)
Opeth - live

Disappointments
Porcupine Tree (Fear of a Blank Planet)
QOTSA (Era Vulgaris)
Rush (snakes and arrows)
