Dan_Dare Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm similarly indifferent. I'm just not entirely sure what's so powerful about a bunch of songs that all sound the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 What the hell does Ulrich Schnauss have to do with it? oO Anywho, Takk isn't the place to be, regarding Sigur Rós... Ãgætis byrjun is. Takk's also fantastic, mind... the fact that you "loved" the least interesting song in the entire album frightens me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I just don't see the appeal. Most of their stuff sounds like the same faux bombastic meaningful structure with the same faux meaningful gibberish vocals that are basically just some dude wailing nicely for a bit.

Dyson Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Ulrich Schnauss, whilst definitely not similar in production/methods, in my eyes (or ears, even) produces a very similar style of sound to that of Sigur Rós...and does so better. As for Hoppipolla, I put that down to the fact that I recognize it. Was a pleasant surprise to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairdriver Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I much prefer Sigur Ros' "... We Sing Joyfully". Actually having upbeat songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I've slowly come to realise how fantastic Michelle Branch's debut album "The Spirit Room" is. I've always liked it, but I've never really given it enough time to love it. She has a great talent for song writing (She wrote "Goodbye to You" when she was 15) and has a rather nice voice. She's also a little..odd looking which makes me all the more endearing. The album has some of my favourite songs in my collection on it. Tracks like "Everywhere", "Goodbye to You" are so awesome. Infact, Everywhere is probably my favourite song, I just love the lyrics, however cliche some might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I've already said it before but...Damn I love Kyuss.Heavy, but chilled so the sound just washes over you, fills your brain and you can feel every subtlety in your bones. Fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipaul Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Listening to A Great Day For Freedom at the moment from David Gilmour's Live In Gdansk CD - it was available as a free download. I have to say I like it quite a lot - may even buy the album now I would like the deluxe vinyl version but it costs £75!! =( Kind of ironic this was released just after Richard Wright passed away.

Dan_Dare Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Getting back in to Deftones today. White Pony is an amazing album, and so far above the nu metal doldrums it's amazing they were even considered part of the genre at the time. It's fucking awesome.

Jon Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 So The Hoosiers then, saw them last night and it's still not made up my mind about them. They put on a good fun show, but there is a severe lack of depth to their songs. It's all a bit samey for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 New Ben Folds is out. awww yeah! Thought I was the ONLY Ben Folds fan here! HELLS YEAH Currently listening to Keanes new album - "Perfect Symmetry" Not really feeling the vibe of it at the moment. I'll have to give it more time. 'Love is the end' is akin to their best tracks and 'spiralling' is as brilliant a pop tune as you could expect from Keane... Certainly a more accessible album than Under the Iron Sea. Although, sadly, it's instantly apparent that this album doesn't hold as many classics as Hope and Fears, which is still one of my favourite albums of recent times. EDIT: Scanning back there's some major backlash about KEANE on here. Personally like their piano stance. It's easy to shoehorn them into "coldplay" boxes (it's a 'human' comfort thing obviously) but they have a lot of songs with memorable chorus' and melodies. Keane are like harmless pop which, at least isn't maufactured. Now...back to Ben Folds... LOVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Kate Bush is so awesome. I much prefer all her less known singles and album tracks for some reason. Maybe it's because I've heard Wuthering Heights and Babooshka etc too often already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I have absolutely no idea why, but Sensitized by Kylie Minogue has been in my head for the last 4 days. I only know the opening line of the chorus, and that's whats in my head. I don't even like it as a song! Craziness. Currently listening to german songs of longing and yearning.

triforce_keeper Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Christina Aguilera's new single "Keeps Gettin' Better" is out tomorrow on itunes YAYAYAYAYAYAYA Can't fucking wait. I have only heard it twice, first time when it premièred at MTV's Video Music Awards, then again on the radio. Since then I have been avoiding listening to it and stopped myself "acquiring" it until it officially comes out here in the UK.... So excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I've decided today that I'm in the mood for some songs with a few cheeky trumpets half way through to jazz things up a bit. I was wondering whether anyone had some songs they know that do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
