The fish Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I've gone just over 47 hours with no The Feeling! I'm only tackling withdrawal symptoms with alcohol, alternative problems (girls, homework, lack of sleep) and a mix of Hey Julie, Map Of The Problematique, amongst other Muse stuff, Maximo Park, The Fray and Snow Patrol. I'm still a bit grouchy, but that's probably more down to the lack of sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Had a look at my iTunes library earlier and I couldn't believe how much my musical tastes have changed. A few years ago I was obsessed about how technically awesome songs had to be, if they didn't feature sweep picking and two hand tapping they were crap. Nowadays, i'm much more interested in great songwriting, simple melodies and insightful lyrics. Joe Satriani is about all that's left from the old days.

mariosmentor Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I know how you feel. My tastes vary quite a bit although I've never delved fully into pure pop and Urban music. Other than that I'm not really held to any styles which is strange as any group of people know always have music that reflects the culture they follow. I.e indie kids, goths, emos etc. I'm just all round listen to mostly anything I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Joe Satriani isn't really music though. Him, Vai, Malmsteen and just about every other esteemed "shredder" can't actually write music for shit, and as such have got just a completely mathematical and formulaic approach. It's all pretty disappointing. So mechanical that they've actually managed to eliminate any human element from their "music" whatsoever. As Alexi Laiho once said; "It's not fucking music, it's sport." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what you're saying for the most part, except that Satriani is capable of writing a decent song, Always with me, Always with you and Love Thing are two songs in which is guitar playing is really reserved and sutble.

DCK Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Foo Fighters' new album is out tomorrow, yes?(Yayz at another excuse to talk about it ) It was leaked on the internet last week, so I gave it quite some listens (OK, a lot of listens). Judging reviews, if you're not really a Foo Fighters fan, you're going to think it's a bit meh-ish, as they don't have a really new sound and it doesn't sound as very inspired music, and you're probably right in doing so. However, if you're a fan, you get exactly what you want, because even if the sound isn't new, it's been recycled really, really well. The sounds of the previous albums all come back; The Pretender is typical CatS stuff, Long Road to Ruin is nearly a pure ripoff of Learn to Fly, Erase/Replace brings back One by One and even the first Foo album comes back in Cheer Up Boys. Nearly all are great songs though, and there's plenty of soft songs that make it a varied listen. Also note the new sound of Statues, which is probably the best song on the album. Buh, I should listen to more bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Dragonette's debut album "Galore" is out tomorrow as well. (My Birthday too) I urge everyone who is intered in GOOD pop/rock music. It's the best i've heard in years. (DL'd it ages ago..wish i'd waited. I might buy it regardless of allready having it) I read top album posts. Well, skim, to see if it matches any of my tastes. Current albums I'm loving, since I can't do all-time: Siouxsie Sioux - Mantaray 9/10 Alanis Morissette - Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie 8/10 Garbage - beaurtifulgarbage 8.7/10 Darren Hayes - This Delicate Thing We've Made 7.9/10 All of Bjorks stuff. 11/10.

Just went to a music expo, got to see Gonçalo Pereira and Aki Tanaka live which rocked a lot. I also played in my favourite guitar: Awesome stuff.

Oxigen_Waste Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Fuck you two.I agree with Vai to some extent though. Aww, c'mon! There's no denying that it's formulaic, I think that's pretty much settled... Take Vai, then, it's the same formula as Satriani or Malmsteem, only he's not as good a composer. Now, even though both Satriani and Malmsteem have some good stuff (I can't think of anything from Satriani, but that's coz I hate him... but yeah, he's earned my respect and as for Malmsteem, Rising Force's quality cannot be questioned), the truth is that it's almost like they're always reading the same book, just in different languages. Well, honestly, I've never been much of a shredding genre because of that, it's stagnant. And to all the people saying that it's great because it's technical and etc (I know you're not one of them), I say "fuck that", coz there are bands running in that same league that kick their butt everyday both composition-wise and technical-wise. And anyway, technical difficulty and quality do not increase proportionally, so... I'll take hardcore over proggressive metal anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I just can't agree, Satriani and Malsteem (malsteem not always but he has a lot of kick ass songs, I love his barroque style) pull me in with their songs and keep me interested, the song writing is diverse and interesting while I find most of the hardcore bands you listen too, a mess of noises, which ultimately ruin what could be great music (for my ears), because lots of the musicians are very good. That's what I generally think about progressive and hardcore, I just don't like the way things have been evolving, it's just too angry. EDIT: I also don't see prog as shredding. At all. At least the prog I listen to, it's not like a listen to a lot of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
