That was awesome.

They're even better live:

I think this is my favourite Devin Townsend song... on this album
And that speaks volumes.

IT'S JUST MEEEEEEAAAWOOOOOAHHH

For me, it's a fight between Deadhead and Depth Charge. Although, I'm really starting to think that something could be better than both these songs. And here be the contender.



And now I'm going to say why I think it's a great song, possibly the best song he's ever written;

It's a ballad, but a ballad done right. A song you could have at your wedding for a first dance with the bride and groom but still maintaining the Devin sound, not to mention that it's completely drug free (like all of his post-SYL music.)

The solo isn't wanky but still quick, it adds to the song to give it a more unspoken depth of emotion and just sits on the background music perfectly. And during the singing near the end, the barely audible solo layered underneath just near brings a tear to your eye, but yeah, a real ballad.

Mr. Bungle 07-24-2011 05:49 PM

That song's great, yeah. It sounds like something out of a musical/Disney film.

It's no The Fluke or Earth Day, but it's good. Like every song on Terria.

Going through a 90's phase again.

MeechMunchie 07-26-2011 05:58 AM

I'm still having trouble adjusting to the fact that the '90s is history now.

I got the 40th Anniversary compilation of The Old Grey Whistle Test. It's just a nice chunky selection of classics. I heartily recommend to anyone who feels their day does not incorporate enough rocking out.

Anyway you be aware that I was on holiday for a while, so here is a random selection of songs that I enjoyed on my iPod.

Why is it that classic songs only exist on YouTube in the form of dumb animations, stupid slideshows, embedding-disabled videos, weird pitch-distorted versions, user covers or badly spelt lyrics? Have these people never heard of album art? Do me a favour and look at something else while the first one's playing.






Ridg3 07-27-2011 10:17 AM

I don't know how many of you are Five Finger Death Punch fans, but they released a new single today. It's pretty fucking good.


Mr. Bungle 07-27-2011 05:14 PM



New Opeth song. Kind of reminds me of King Crimson and Tool. I like it.

abe is now! 07-28-2011 01:21 AM

I'm loving that Ackerfeldt has dropped Death style vocals for this new album, in fact, it might just well be the best album they've ever done if he does do that.

OddjobAbe 07-28-2011 10:20 AM



The Ensemble Modern always do such a fucking fantastic job.

I don't think I've ever laughed at a guitar instructional DVD until I seen that Townsend has one. Christ almighty it's fucking hilarious, he's such a goofball.

T-nex 07-31-2011 01:18 PM

So... Grotesque records have released i think.... all if not most of the stuff they have made so far... For streaming.

Im really in love with the Gretel And Hansel soundtrack.... Also Feast Of fetus.

JennyGenesis 07-31-2011 04:21 PM

The magic begins at 4:44 ;)


Mr. Bungle 07-31-2011 08:48 PM

I think you mean 7:02 ;)

Dynamithix 08-01-2011 03:09 AM

Indica's a Finnish band. I hate their music though.

JennyGenesis 08-01-2011 07:23 AM

Whenever ever I mention Indica to people, a music band is not the first thing they think of...

This.

Here's another Finnish band where the magic begins at 0:00.


Mr. Bungle 08-02-2011 08:35 AM



The best Finnish band that I know

Ridg3 08-02-2011 09:12 AM



Another fantastic Finnish band.

We have a seperate thread for that.

Ridg3 08-04-2011 02:58 PM

It has to be said, because of you OJA I'm starting to become a big fan of Zappa. I hope your fucking pleased with yourself!

OddjobAbe 08-04-2011 03:16 PM

Definitely. I also hope to turn you to the likes of Xenakis and Varèse.
And if you like Zappa's music, I'd advise you to watch his debates with the PMRC (and above all, his testimony). I gained an even greater respect for Zappa when I discovered that he was a good political thinker.

Mr. Bungle 08-05-2011 05:25 AM



Fuck you Dynamithix. I am not a hipster.

Dynamithix 08-05-2011 05:45 AM

I guess I mixed up hipster and indie. Also, I was looking up some songs you posted earlier to only find out what I posted last year. Fuck, I even posted Korn. Korn.

Mr. Bungle 08-05-2011 05:52 AM

Yeah, I remember that.

and I was mostly joking, and posted blink-182 ( a mainstream band) to spite you. Ha.

Don't worry. Ridg3 posted Three Doors Down shortly before I joined.

Wings of Fire 08-05-2011 07:34 AM

Fun fact: Korn are doing the theme song for the new Silent Hill game.

I've lost my faith in the series.

Mr. Bungle 08-05-2011 07:55 AM

I don't even know what to say to that.

scrabface 08-06-2011 10:46 AM

I am into mc tapes right now, so I bought an old boombox for 15 dollars and dug out my old tapes. started mixing and here's the first one, but it's unfinished because my pc crashed while I was recording.

I suppose we're allowed to have a few bad posts. :P

Mr. Bungle 08-08-2011 02:29 PM

Whaddya mean? Animal Collectives great. Their fanbase, on the other hand...


http://www.thewestpress.com/wp-conte...5/hipster1.jpg

But yeah, I just think they make good music.

Ridg3 08-08-2011 03:06 PM

Ha, just as I pictured them. We have a bar dedicated to the little hipster fags.

Ants:



Crazy fun song. And in un-Devin related news;

Pretty old news but meh.



Dragonforce's new, better singer. I probably won't listen to them but it's nice to know that they replaced ZP for someone ultimately better than him (even though that isn't hard.)


Link to Dream Theater new song snippet thanks to shitty embed disabled nonsense.
And it sounds... okay? The drummer's good, I'll give them that but, at the end of the day, it just sounds like the last album. Which is stupidly hypocritical to say seeing as one of my favorite bands is Insomnium :P

Speaking of Insominum... NEW SINGLE XD



It sounds perfect.

I wish I had some non-metal news to post, but unfortunately, all the un-metal bands I like are the bands I don't like enough to follow religiously.

Mr. Bungle 08-08-2011 03:56 PM

Dragonforce may have a MUCH better singer now, but their music will probably still be shit. Probably.

Also, props on Ants. Song rules in a completely schizoid way.

Speaking of Schizoid:


Dynamithix 08-08-2011 04:30 PM

Didn't Kanye sample that song in Power? I swear that I heard it in the Saints Row 3 trailer.
