You could try Kylesa, specifically Static Tensions and Spiral Shadow. I always go to Kylesa when I'm in a "sludge pop" fix and want more than just Torche.

Easy and fake depth everywhere. Kelly and Von Till's solo material is unbearably boring tripe and it's a shame to see it becoming such a strong influence for Neurosis. Serpentine Path didn't grab me at all. Apparently the Unearthly Trance guys had exactly one good album in them (Electrocution) and are otherwise content with being completely unremarkable musicians

As for Serpentine Path, it's absolutely glacial the whole length through, but for me it never becomes boring (which could've easily been the case really). I have to commend the album for that. EDIT: Goddamn Electrocution is GREAT. Snapes N Snapes fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Nov 6, 2012 |

Besides the new Baroness, are there any other bands out there that resemble Torche? They are almost a missing link between sludge and more guitar oriented indie rock. Just get all the Torche you can. I've been listening to them constantly since Harmonicraft came out, particularly that album and the Songs for Singles EP, I can't get enough. Harmonicraft is probably my favourite new album of this year.

I don't really agree with that on the music, but I will give you that Scott Kelly's blog is horrifically pretentious (and silly): Scott Kelly posted:I try not to let it get to me. Good lord.

It kicks rear end. Just throwing that out there. Edit: White Orange being one band, Black Pussy being the other band. Not one band called "White Orange and Black Pussy," although the suggestive imagery is captivating to think about and they do share members.

There aren't really other bands that have the same feel, but you should give Floor a listen. Several of the members went on to form Torche. It's a little more focused on the heavy than it is on the fun though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH5yH03Tlp4

The new Graveyard album, Lights Out, rawks out! It's more of the same, but oh so good psychedelic swedish rock. I'd like to see these guys do a US tour with Witchcraft (again?).

QOTSA just posted a new picture on Facebook. According to an insider on the rekrek forum about a week ago, he mentioned that Joey Castillo might be doing other things now. Looks like it was true.

Say what you will about Josh Homme being an rear end in a top hat, he's never taken anyone hostage and had a drugged fueled stand off with the SWAT. I heard Alain Johannes might be involved with the new QOTSA, has anyone else heard anything along those lines?

haggis56 posted:Why no thread? I've always been a big Soundgarden fan as well, and I think it's definitely pretty good. Wish it had more experimentation, which Badmotorfinger-Superunknown-Down on the Upside had in bunches, but I can't blame them for keeping things fairly more basic when it comes to a long-awaited comeback album.

Am I doing something wrong? Because the new Soundgarden album is beige as gently caress. It doesn't have the enormous riffs of Louder than love or Badmotorfinger, and it doesn't have the experimentation of Superunknown or Down on the upside, it's just fifty one minutes of boring rock music. They sounded horrible when I saw them play earlier this year: Chris' voice was shot, the guitars were out of tune, and seeing that, and hearing this album are just a pretty disappointing effort at a comeback from one of my favourite bands during the '90s.

I'll give you this; even in their heyday, Soundgarden live was always a roll of the dice. I think a voice like Cornell's only works sometimes. I wonder how many takes it took to get his trademark shrieks this time around.

Chalupa Joe posted:Am I doing something wrong? Because the new Soundgarden album is beige as gently caress. That kickoff single is atrocious, but I'm about 5 songs in and the album has had a few decent moments. Cornell is the weakest link in the chain by leaps and bounds; his voice just isn't there any more and anytime the music veers exceptionally poppy or bland, I'm inclined to blame him, given his Audioslave & solo output. EDIT: Maybe I spoke too soon, this album fell off a cliff right after "Blood on the Valley Floor". blue.eyed.ash fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Nov 9, 2012 |

Well they all can't be the holy trinity of awesomeness of their previous three albums but I think King Animal is pretty good. I was almost equally split between "meh" to "rocks" for most of it, but closing it with Rowing pushed it into "solid" territory for me.

Seeing as Soundgarden is only tangentially related to this thread I'll just chime in to say something completely unrelated about the new Graveyard album Lights Out in that it is better than Hisingen Blues after a couple of listens.

It seems some people are disappointed, because it's a tiny bit less rocking than the previous albums. For now I think : best album = first one and this after Hisingen, but it's definitely not bad in any sense, I still like it, just not as much the other two.

I'm really worried they peaked with SWD, it's going to be very tough to top that with whatever LP they come out with next. I'll be glad when I'm proven wrong though.
