It would make it onto my list of best album covers of all time.

Best. Cover. Ever.

Mr. Bungle 05-29-2011 10:45 AM

Best album cover? I don't know, man. Hard choice. If I were to narrow it down to 5 or so:

Asking what the best album cover of all time is is like asking what the best painting of all time is. You need to narrow it down with a style or genre.

ROCK!

I hope this is appropiate to post here since it is music related. But this is a brilliant documentary about Queen.

Anyone here like Tool? I like them, a lot. Aenima is one of my favourite albums ever, and Lateralus is really good, too. I bought this album yesterday, and I really like it so far. I'm on my second listen now.

OANST 05-31-2011 01:03 PM

I saw Tool at the State Theater when Lateralus came out. Haven't liked any of their releases post Lateralus.

METAL


Dynamithix 06-03-2011 11:27 AM

Metal albums have the coolest album covers. I don't really listen to any metal but if I'm at a store and I'm bored, I always check out the album covers of metal bands, hah.

MeechMunchie 06-04-2011 12:07 PM

I try to refrain from posting TF2 all the time but since there's a TF2 replay competition going...

Entries for 'Best Original Soundtrack'





Had both of these stuck in my head since voting for the Saxxy Awards.

Dynamithix 06-04-2011 03:07 PM

The song from the new Metro: Last Light trailer. I really like this song. Didn't bother to embed the video, it was pretty creepy anyway.

Shatter has some pretty good tunes

Yey Prokofiev!

OddjobAbe 06-07-2011 01:00 PM

He has nothing on Charles Ives.

I dunno... I dont think the two can be compared that much...


I really like Prokofiev, and Charles seems to make a lot of atmospheric pieces or like.. calm...

Either way, Prokofiev seems to lie closer to my tastes.

Neither do I, I was just using it as an excuse to share a Charles Ives piece which I really like.
If you ever get the chance (if you haven't already), you should listen to the instrumental version of "The Indians" and you should listen to "Holidays Symphony". Really interesting pieces (although Charles Ives' style leans more towards the real avant-garde stuff than Prokofiev (at least from what I've heard of Prokofiev) - his stuff is incredibly personal music and he never actually hoped to use his music for a commercial purpose - he just wanted to hear it performed purely for himself, which is why he never compromised his dissonance and odd rhythms).

You've probably heard a lot of Debussy if you're into classical music. "La soirée dans Grenade" is one of the greatest piano solos I've ever heard. If you don't know that one, listen to it. You'll probably like it.

I think I'm in love, guys.

JennyGenesis 06-07-2011 04:52 PM



I love this video! and that penguin is mega cute :D

Mr. Bungle 06-08-2011 03:39 PM



One of the most emotional performances I've ever seen.

Ridg3 06-08-2011 04:43 PM

That tone. I must own it. Surprisingly enough that was the exact video that got me into Hevy Devy. Also, if I was to play any song live it would have to be that but I would only do it if I had members that could do the song justice.

Speaking of Devin in fact, has anybody (who plays guitar) ever tried Open C tuning? It's fantastically fun to mess with... very versatile tuning.

On a related note. Steve Vai. Feat. Devin Townsend.



Such an epic intro. Vai don't hold no candle to Devy though.

Mr. Bungle 06-08-2011 05:35 PM

I've never used open C, I just play in drop C whenever I play Devin's song. Or are they the same thing, just different name?

And Vai is a very good guitar player, but in terms of songwriting he can't hold a candle to Devin. Then again, neither can most.

Also, Ridg3, did you hear that Opeth is giving up their growls and death metal sound?

Ridg3 06-09-2011 09:19 AM

Open C is CGCGCE whereas Drop C is CGCFAD. Open C can be strung with all strings open and it'll play a clean chord and about that Opeth thing, I thought I would be disappointed but I'm not. Ackerfeldt is an awesome musician and is able to write songs with any vocal style so I'm certain enough that the album would be a damn good one.

Oh wow, I haven't been this intrigued about a new metal album in years.

Mr. Bungle 06-09-2011 10:53 AM

Same here. I'm definitely interested considering how Damnation was my favourite Opeth album.

Now these people know the meaning of the word 'trippy'.


Ridg3 06-11-2011 07:07 AM

These guys are the embodiment of shit.


JennyGenesis 06-11-2011 12:51 PM



How dare they ruin one of the best songs of all time!

Strike Witch 06-11-2011 01:26 PM



These guys are pretty cool!

Mr. Bungle 06-12-2011 06:51 PM

Oh snap! I'm listening to that song right now.
