For anyone that is a fan of Angra or Angra's singer: Almah just released a new album. Havent had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet but its way more laid back than Fragile Equality from what I've heard, but still fantastic.

freudorbison posted:So uh guys, how about that new Metallica album with Lou Reed? I'm a huge Metallica apologist, but this album was a terrible idea. To be fair, it really isn't Metallica's fault though. Their music has some pretty awesome backing riffs in there that I wish had been saved for an actual album. The problems with "Lulu" are 90% because Lou Reed entered the Bob Dylan "Why is he still trying to do vocals?" territory. Seems like Hetfield and Co. jumped at the idea of working with him for personal reasons before realizing it sounded better in theory than it actually turned out. Strangely, the stuff that actually works is the weird ambient stuff like the first half of "Cheat on Me" and most of "Junior Dad." It's different from anything Metallica has ever done, but if the whole album had been done with that style, they may have actually pulled it off since it couples with Lou's vocals a Hell of a lot better than... whatever the majority of the album was trying.  e: In fact, listening to the album a little more (trying anyway), "Junior Dad" pisses me off because it makes me think of what kind of cool, chill-out, relaxing album they could have made instead. If they had made a whole album of stuff like that, it could have had so much potential!

This album is so bad that I actually chuckle to myself thinking about James Hetfield yelling "I AM THE TABLE!" while an old drunkard mumbles incomprehensible lyrics. Edit:  David Fricke of Rolling Stone heard at least two of the songs from the project in June 2011—"Pumping Blood" and "Mistress Dread"—and described their sound as a "raging union of [Reed's] 1973 noir classic, Berlin, and Metallica's '86 crusher, Master of Puppets."[9]

Last.fm apparently had some kind of horrific datacentre hardware failure at almost exactly the same time i started listening to that poo poo album. It's almost like their server farm chose to commit suicide rather than scrobble it. Without any hyperbole, it's the worst thing i've heard in years. On a completely different note, holy poo poo I just heard the new Taake album. Love the banjo solo

Just dropping by to recommend Paradox, if you like your German thrash metal served with riffs, lots of riffs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiF1XjuTcAE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDt7bflyfd0 And their new stuff is not too shabby either. Also can someone recommend me something in the veins of ayreon and star one\gamma ray's somewhere out in space? im jonesing for some metal space opera.

God loving Damnit Lulu could easily be the worst album I have ever heard. It is comedically terrible in that when I heard it I was disgusted by what I heard...Jesus

It's such a terrible piece of poo poo. Metallica should just loving give it up or start drinking heavily again so they can make something good. gently caress them. I never enjoyed Lou Reed so who gives a gently caress what he does.

Ahahahaha, I wandered into this thread after just listening to Lulu and wonder if anyone was talking about it. Did they honestly think this was a good idea? The entire idea just sounds like a mish-mash mess without any cohesiveness whatsoever. The cover art is disturbing enough. Then I started actually listening to the music. I'm just appalled, and this is coming from someone who thought they made a big comeback with Death Magnetic and also considers Load one of their best albums. What the gently caress am I listening to? What is Lou Reed blabbing about? Why do Metallica sound like they're half awake playing music? Why does James just seem to spaz out once in a while with the worst "lyrics" he's ever sang since St. Anger? "I AM THE TABLET!"? Why are there 10 songs on 2 CDs? A 20-minute track? Really? I swear I tried, but I got bored halfway through the second song. There's no way I could survive the three 10+ minute songs on here. What a waste.

Well in more positive news, the new Iced Earth album is pretty drat good. I was really loving stoked when I heard Barlow was coming back to the band, which of course made me all the more disappointed when Crucible of Man came out and turned out to be bland and mediocre as hell. So disappointed in fact that I barely shrugged when I heard Barlow had left again. But this new album? drat, this is actually good. And the new guy Stu Block actually sounds so much like Barlow that it's all like The Dark Saga and Something Wicked This Way Comes all over again. I loving approve.

Love the banjo solo This is a perfect example of things that dont belong in a genre yet make the song absolutely incredible. Im listening to this and thinking to myself "Yeah this totally belongs here and isnt out of place whatsoever" except not at all sarcastic. Also never heard of this band and I've been craving some fresh black metal so THANK YOU SIR. On the topic of Metallicas latest 'thing'. I couldnt even make it through one song. NOPE.

Was just thinking about how goddamned good the last half of 2011 has been for metal. New Warbringer, Skeletonwitch, Evile, Iced Earth, Insomnium, Animals as Leaders and Megadeth, and Cynic albums all within the span of a few weeks? Im sure theres more that I missed, but I cannot mentally process this much amazing metal. Speaking of the new Iced Earth, its really quite good. I havent seen it discussed yet but it sounds a hell of a lot like Demons and Wizards but without Hansi.

Thing is, the album sounds like it has potential. Lou Read at times even suits it but ultimately ends up sounding like he's never kept time with music. The spoken word thing could work if it was done right, some riffs sound pretty mean.

I hadn't heard of them before and I've been listening to Electrify and Heresy today and they own. They make me think of a thrashier Fate's Warning, or maybe Fate's Warning spliced with a bit of Testament. Neurosis fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Oct 21, 2011 |

Also, just listened to the Taake song with the banjo solo in it ("Myr"). Well, I listened to it twice because I was laughing the first time. Holy poo poo, it's so good! How did they make it good? I'm impressed. Count Thrashula fucked around with this message at 13:22 on Oct 21, 2011 |

If "The View" is any indication, then Lulu lies on the same level of awfulness as Bob Dylan's Christmas album: so bad it's hilarious. I'll give the rest of the songs a listen, though.

QPZIL posted:I wouldn't, no. Taake has always seemed a little "off" to me, and they've only gotten stranger. I can't recall exactly which song, but they use a really comedic "boing" noise in one of the other recent albums. Hoest may be going slightly more and more insane. Which is good.

A gravelly voice over a blues line has nothing to do with johnny cash. Or if it does, then johnny cash was nothing but "rote emulation" of every black blues singer decades older than him.

Welp, as good as the new Iced Earth is, it can pack its bags and gently caress right off along with all other music for a couple days now, because I just got myself the new Astral Doors album. Jesus gently caress this stuff is so good it hurts.

"Lulu doesn't appeal to the masses because it is challenging for the listener. Those who don't "get it" won't make it through a whole song, let alone a whole album. If you like experimental, hosed up, trippy, proggy, heavy, monolouge, storytelling, concept, avante garde, structure raping, disturbed, experience music, then Lou Reed & Metallica's Lulu album is for you. If you don't like this side of music and prefer straight-forward songs, you won't find any here. loving masterpiece of an album. Really breaks new ground. Not just an album, it's an EXPERIENCE! Not everyone will like the album, it's not "accessable" to alot of people. It'll be challenging for most listeners with long, experimental songs. The album sounds loving crazy."
