Sorry if this has been discussed before, but IMO the best track off Frances the Mute is the unreleased first track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLBI0UdAlcg

Jedit posted:Final preview from C/C. Having just listened to the album through twice, so far this one, Harridan and Herd Culling are the 3 big banger tracks. Of the New Day has been out for a while, it's decent but those kinds of soft emotional PT songs are usually skips for me on repeated listens (see also: Lazarus) Dignity is great - a little SW solo-ish, but sprawling and reminiscent of some of the better older stuff Walk the Plank is like a mishmash of the most recent SW album, a bit of PT, and a bit of post-In Rainbows Radiohead. Sounds real cool, I'd like to see them or SW alone explore this a bit more too. Chimera's Wreck I need to listen to a couple more times but my initial impression is "The Incident in 9:39" A couple of reviews I've read mention that like The Incident, the as-yet-unreleased bonus tracks are just as good or better than the album itself, so there's that to look forward to as well! An interesting thing to me is how great the basslines are on Harridan and Rats Return - I think I like SW on bass more than I like him on guitar. I wonder if he'll be on bass when they tour? e: I dunno if this was posted but they did finally break the silence on why Colin Edwin isn't in the band anymore - long story short, the other 3 stayed in touch all this time but Colin never really did, and the initial jam sessions for this album were SW and Gavin jamming, and Gavin only had a bass lying around, and apparently SW was having a lot of fun with it: https://metalinjection.net/news/steven-wilson-explains-why-colin-edwin-isnt-part-of-porcupine-trees-reunion Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Jun 22, 2022 |

SgtScruffy posted:I think if you told me that there was a new band with Cedric on vocals and this was their single, I’d tell you this song is chill and groovy as gently caress and I like it. Yeah Tbh while I definitely wouldn't say that their music has gotten worse over time, I can say that I've enjoyed each album progressively less - the last couple really didn't do it for me at all. I do actually like these new singles a lot, though as mentioned above they both seem like pieces of a larger thing rather than standalone singles, so who knows what the whole album will be like. Deloused and FTM certainly had their share of more introspective/groovy-mellow bits too

some decently dep cuts too. Really happy to hear Drown With Me and Buying New Soul live. e: new members are pretty great too. My sincere hope is they click well enough that they end up writing some new more material together, but IIRC SW's made it pretty clear they're touring members only, so

Lightbulb Sun and Stupid Dream are great because they're dead-center in that transitionary phase between full-on psychedelic weirdness of the earlier stuff and the heavier/poppier stuff later on. Recordings is kind of hit or miss but it's got Buying New Soul and the 14-minute version of Even Less which I love also was a bit surprised they did the album version of Drown With Me instead of the demo version with the different chorus (which SW has said he likes more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WOhBn5JxDQ

The fact that they're playing De-loused stuff is really funny to me in the context of this article published yesterday METALLICA Once Requested THE MARS VOLTA Play Them A Song, And They Wouldn'tquote:According to The Mars Volta's Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala in an interview with Zane Lowe of Apple Music 1, Metallica once attended a Mars Volta show and requested they play "Inertiatic ESP" from the 2003 album De-Loused In The Comatorium… and they didn't.

Train of Thought was honestly the last DT album to really wow me. It doesn't approach the older stuff but it's got some bangers but yeah I was never really able to get into anything after that. They play singles off the newer albums on the radio by me sometimes and it seems like they got way heavier, which is kind of bizarre juxtaposed with LaBrie's vocals.

Djent is kind of a loaded term and covers a whole lot of kinds of music. Specifically the name is an onomatopoeia for the palm muted low open string, it's kind of Meshuggah's entire thing so you can probably recognize it with them, and also with a lot of AAL stuff, though AAL kind of uses it as a jumping-off point for way more creative stuff. Animals as Leaders are really one of the most technically complex bands in metal/prog IMO, and they are quite unique - there's really nobody doing exactly what they do. Is any of this stuff up your alley at all? It's definitely more straightforward than AAL but this is the kind of stuff that would probably come up on an AAL Pandora station or something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m5XvO0Y2-Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im3rhzOFThk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7T0TPBYGjs

The Future Bites has that eye-rolling part where it's just a voice listing a bunch of consumer products you can't make fun of limited-edition box sets when that's like one of the things you're known for doing. I mean you can, but not when you're as self-serious as SW is about it Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 16:28 on May 15, 2023 |

Images and Words has a lot of their more poppy (I guess? I've heard Pull Me Under, Take the Time and Under a Glass Moon on the dad-rock stations around here before) and standalone songs. Scenes from a memory (metropolis part 2) is, as mentioned above, a concept album but nothing too deep or strange, but it does lend itself a little more to a full-through listen of the whole album. Under A Glass Moon is also the best Petrucci solo in any dream theater song

Yeah, the peak. I would consider I&W-era DT closer to like, Kansas or something in the ears of the average listener, than metal. Like I'd definitely not expect to hear any newer DT on there, most of it leans way too heavy. Also SOU is annoying in a lot of ways (what you mentioned, their tendency to overplay the "big" metal songs/bands, etc.) but I've been listening to them for like 20+ years and always had a soft spot for the super-amateurish college student dj's and stuff. Also the religious censorship policy is hilariously inconsistent like for a while they couldn't say the full name of the band "Lamb of God" but they could say play their song with the line "walk with me into hell" no issue lol

SW being a big Abba fan, I could almost see him try Eurovision with something like Permanating or some of the no-man stuff Holy poo poo that's Sir Elton? wow, learn something new every day I'd love to believe that he's being ironic but all personal evidence to date has shown to the contrary, but again the music is fantastic so who cares lol but yeah he's outspokenly a huge pop fan too and I bet he could write some great Eurovision material

Future Bites had a couple bangers but overall didn't really do it for me. Also I dunno if it's satire or self-mockery or what but that stupid monologue interlude in Personal Shopper uuuuuggh The live session videos for that album are great though, always love hearing Voyage 34 and Drown With Me e: The Raven That Refused To Sing is his magnum opus and as much as I do like the rest of his solo work, nothing else comes close
