Hem Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Been listening to the seminal What's Going On tonight. Such a terrific album.
The Bard Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 It depends on what you want.M favourite two are "Blackwater Park" wich is, as far as I'm concerned the full essence of what Opeth is... and "Damnation" wich is a totally acoustic album, and an astoundingly good one, at that. I wouldn't class Blackwater Park as their best personally, even though it's probably the most balanced album they've put out along with Ghost Reveries... Sometimes I miss the 4 minute melodic acoustic interludes...That said...Leper Affinity, Bleak, The Drapery Falls...all in my top 10 without a doubt. I think it would be easier for me to recommend individual songs rather than albums, as there is something from every album that absolutely slays me.
Slaggis Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I had to post this, because it just sounds so random. She sounds...strange singing like that, rather like the random versions of girfriend she did. (German, Manderin, Japanese etc) Avril Lavigne - Hot (Mandarin Version) (There's a Japanese one aswell) The chorus sounds utterly mental.
Oxigen_Waste Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I think it would be easier for me to recommend individual songs rather than albums, as there is something from every album that absolutely slays me. That's Opeth, fer ya.
chairdriver Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Woo! My dad just gave me his record player! I feel so retro! Now I need to buy some good Vinyls!
Pete Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I love Losing My Religion by REM =D. I'm going to have to get an album of theirs, anyone reccomend any? Get 'Automatic for the people', Its a classic and well worth a purchase.
DCK Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Yeah, it's supposed to be a classic. I should listen to R.E.M. too according to my last.fm, but I forget.
Ellmeister Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I like opeth, what's their best album though? i really enjoy My Arms, Your Herse due to the change in styles from their previous album. Also, hah to any that like Paramore, I'm seeing them in Feb =D Gay! it wasn't spam, it was a needed post.
MunKy Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Discovered Carcass a few months ago. Awesome Grindcore/Goregrind and in later albums Melodic Death band. Even better, they are re-uniting this year! Couldn't have picked a better time to start listening to them really.
Ashley Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Woo! My dad just gave me his record player! I feel so retro! Now I need to buy some good Vinyls! Vinyls have 360'ed. They went from retro to common a few years ago (seriously, there was a huge spike in the sales). You're behind the times :p (but you like T&S so its all fine)
Roostophe Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Vinyls have 360'ed. They went from retro to common a few years ago (seriously, there was a huge spike in the sales). You're behind the times :p (but you like T&S so its all fine) I thought that was what happened. The In Rainbows boxset had the album on 2 vinyl discs, and not 2 cassettes. People still make vinyls, but poor cassettes are so very obsolete...
My Buttons are Magic! Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I like opeth, what's their best album though? i really enjoy My Arms, Your Herse due to the change in styles from their previous album. Also, hah to any that like Paramore, I'm seeing them in Feb =D i actually quite like paramore shes not a bad singer live i love her hair tho
Roostophe Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Paramore are pretty good, but their singer is VERY pretty!
Wesley Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Anyone like Hope of the States first album? Note that I say first.
My Buttons are Magic! Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Paramore are pretty good, but their singer is VERY pretty! .. so everyone says
Coolness Bears Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 i actually quite like paramore shes not a bad singer live i love her hair tho I like Paramore! (thanks for the album! ) And Her hair is made of WIN!
The fish Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 .. so everyone says I beg to differ - I don't say so!
Oxigen_Waste Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Paramore are pretty... boring. I mean, I listen to Riot and I feel I've listened to it my whole life, since I was a kid... awfull case of been there, done that. =/
Slaggis Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I like Paramore! (thanks for the album! ) And Her hair is made of WIN! Agreed! I love the album. She sings with such force on songs like misery buisness it makes me want to sing along like that with her. It's obviously not the best album of the year etc, but it's great fun. (Probably my album of the year though considering most the albums I listen too weren't released in 2007).
My Buttons are Magic! Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I beg to differ - I don't say so! woo then! the album makes me happy so it wins in my book
AshMat Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah, Hayley whatserface doesn't do it for me. Anyway, i got Arcade Fire - Funeral yesturday, i've been meaning to get it for absolutely ages, brilliant stuff.
Calza Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I bought Bjork's greatest hits today as well as Regina Spektor's Begin To Hope. yay or nay?
chairdriver Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I bought Bjork's greatest hits today as well as Regina Spektor's Begin To Hope. yay or nay? Yay and a semi-yay. You should get Soviet Kitsch by Regina Spektor. It's much better.
Calza Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 It wasn't it in the 2 for £10, but if I like Begin To Hope I will probably buy that aswell, although I have spent far too much on cds this couple of months, I think I have doubled my music collection.
chairdriver Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah, I've bought shitloads of CDs in the last 3 months. I've only just got into music. In the past 3 months I've bought: Absolute Garbage - Garbage Because I Love It - Amerie Angelfish - Angelfish The Best Damn Thing - Avril Lavigne Bleed Like Me - Garbage Cansei De Ser Sexy - CSS Drastic Fantastic - KT Tunstall Fantastic Playroom - The New Young Pony Club Fever To Tell - Yeah Yeah Yeahs Fur And Gold - Bat For Lashes FutureSex/LoveSounds - Justin Timberlake Galore - Dragonette Inside In/Inside Out - The Kooks JAPW - Joan As Police Woman Life For Rent - Dido Life In Cartoon Motion - Mika Mother - Kubb N.B - Natasha Bedingfield No Angel - Dido Overloaded - Sugababes Paper Scissors Stone - Catatonia Real Girl - Mutya Buena Real Life - Joan As Police Woman The Reminder - Feist Riot! - Paramore Standing In The Way Of Control - The Gossip This Is The Life - Amy Macdonald Under the BlackLight - Rilo Kiley The Warning - Hot Chip You're Speaking My Language - Juliette & The Licks And then I've got tonnes of others as presents, and borrowing off friends.
