not 2006, but here's hoping someone has their new one? i cant find it yet / don't know if it's even out yet here. thanks

EDIT: nevermind, clearly i should try reading the board first.

Damn WMA files on that liars YSI and this Figuines band really doesnt sound much like any of those bands mentioned (maybe similar to doug martsch's live vocals). not really doing it for me. too bad cause I was really excited with those comparisons.

You and I have been disagreeing a lot tonight.

Here's another YSI link for all the metalheads (unlike me) out there.

The Sword - Age Of Winters

you win some you lose some. I'm overly picky with my music. people yell at me but when its done right it is such an amazing, rewarding experience. I have been getting into the whole dance scene as well. I hoped on a year late.

anyway, the figurines were just too unorigonal for me. they seemed like they had some potential and then every song kinda ended up sounding like every other song. if you like the sound I can see how it would be easy to love the whole thing give or take one or two tracks.

havent heard boris - pink yet and Ive been trying to grab that fiery furnaces but it doesnt seem to be working for me so there could be some agreement there.

Blackheart Procession, The Spell, due May 11

Why does it say you require a log in?

I think that's one of YSI's ads that's causing that. They may be password fishing, but who knows. Just hit cancel and you'll be fine

Shame about the BHP being blocked. How does it compare to Amore Del Tropico? Speaking of which, did anyone ever see the associated film?

This might be the worst album I've heard this year.

is boris - pink strickly for doom/metal heads? it seems to be getting good reviews from sites and everyone here so maybe Im just a sissy and should listen.

does anyone have a YSI of that
and one last one of the fiery furnaces.

I can only get songs on Friday nights, saturday and sunday hopefully

Nope. It's an awesome record

Either I'm gaining a tolerance for metal....

...or Pink and Age of Winters join Leviathan and Blessed Black Wings as being metal it's ok for non-metallers to like.

internet looks like its running slow agian. I hate college.

Good music is for everyone.

yeah I know but I've never heard it so that comment wouldnt apply to my question. good music is for everyone but thats pretty subjective. anyway...yeah.

The Boris album has its accessible moments. I actually prefer the shorter songs on Pink.

This album is horrible.

Could someone re-up the new Built to Spill? Did I hear something about that... yes? no?

Well, Pink isn't really metal imo, but i agree with you about those 4 albums being metal albums we can all enjoy. I am not a huge metal fan and before Mastodon came along and made me pay attention i used to write it off as music that's just not for me. There are some instrumental/post-rock/metal bands i like too, like Pelican.

I'm listening to this as I type this. For some reason, a promo copy showed up in my mailbox last week and while I can't say I like it thatmuch I still find myself putting it on. I think it's the first song, or the first two songs that do it for me. But you're right, as I'm typing this I'm thinking of getting up and putting something else on. The Figurines are playing here for free a week from tomorrow and I'll probably end up going. Them and a couple other bands from Denmark.

I honestly don't see what's so horrible about it (regarding Burzum's comment). To each their own and all that...

I think that honor goes to Man Man - Six Demon Bag

I actually like it too. Heard it last night when I was dead tired, then burned it and put it on the stereo for a proper listen today. It's not the greatest thing ever, but I think it's more good than bad. The Wonder is great, and a lot of songs have the potential to become samey, but usually I've found something in each song that's its own thing. I'll listen to it more and see how it holds up to repeated spins. Cheers for turning me on to a new band marios!

Eh, it's watered down 5th tier boring-ass indie with a weak singer and incredibly shitty lyrics. It's like high schoolers doing a Built To Spill tribute.

Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance
hxxps://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=285CPX85ZMEJM2CMGGT8O2JEPG

Accessible enough for those who like to dabble in the heavy stuff!

REAL vocal melodies!

NO cookie monster vocals!

Big riffs!

Not too blunt, not too prog-metal!

The longest song is 4 1/2 minutes!

One of the best metal albums of 2006 so far!

Act now.

Sounds great for a dabbler like me. No Cookie Monster vocals + big riffs = recipe for success.

i'm still not sold... sell me, sask, sell me....

I'll give this a go.

oh sure, make me look like a jerk.

If I like it, I'll sell you on it. I listen so you don't have to.

i like this... my first "taster"

As I posted in the metal thread, this sounds like a re-encoded version...I'll be posting the real retail version as soon as it surfaces. For now, though, this version is fine.

First listen to the Katatonia, and it sounds good but I prefer Age of Winters from 2006

This reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what it is.....

Katatonia is relatively new to me, and I like what I've heard so far. They remind me of a combination of Tool, some elements from Porcupine Tree, and the band Atomship. Specifically, Atomship's singer and the overall atmosphere of the music. It's good stuff.

can somebody reup the new Black Heart Procession please.

Yeah, that previous link didn't work. I mentioned it but maybe the person who uploaded it hasn't seen the thread since then...

Any Dresden Dolls fans on the board?

Their new album, Yes Virginia, has leaked. My first impression is that it's not nearly as good as the last one.

hxxp://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=30QLTCLHFLL2J0G0TRUHYVAM2J

it leaked quite a while ago actually.

i dig it, but i wouldn't consider myself a fan really

The new Sing-Sing finally surfaced.

Haven't had time to listen to it yet, but I liked the "Lover" internet single last year.

new futureheads should leak soon, no?

Prince leeked

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I'll see about getting a YSI up in a bit too.

I hope the Prince album is good, but I've been hoping that for a while....

It'll probably be like Musicology, an average release that I never listen to because there's too much stellar stuff in his back catalogue.

I'll be very pleased if I'm wrong.

truth. nothing wrong with musicology, just never reach for it.

Prince - 3121

Blocked already!!!

dano, o ye of the lightning fast internet connection, any chance of a reup?
