I think it's the best bit of the song. Makes me laugh.
I always wondered what that Swanee whistle-esque sound was that played throughout the song. When I looked in the booklet, it says it's meant to be a police siren. I'm glad that was there, else I'd never have got it.

Oh god is Faith No More being back together not the best thing ever? I got up at 7am (normal waking time 12) just to watch their live stream from Donington this morning, and I just can't stop listening to them.

OddjobAbe · #**513** 06-13-2009, 09:08 AM

They're back? With Patton and that lot? If I'm honest, I never cared for them, but it's nice to see Patton's still keeping up with the music.

Nooooooooooooooooo

Please say it isn't true.

Ah, well. It doesn't really matter. They're even more irrelevant now than they were fifteen years ago, so odds are I will never hear their new music.

On the subject of Mike Patton, I'm listening to Mr. Bungle obsessively. Fucking love California. Definitely my favorite album.

Also Estradesphere. The ending to It's Understood's last track is fucking hilarious.

OddjobAbe · #**516** 06-13-2009, 03:13 PM

I love "It's Understood". One of my favorites.

I really don't know which I like better out of Bungle's s/t and California. I seem to fluctuate. Just recently, I've been listening to "Goodbye Sober Day" from California over and over, but about a week ago, I was right into "Carousel" from s/t. As much as I love Disco Volante, it had the hardest tracks to get into (Carry Stress in the Jaw and the Secret Sonf excluded). I love weird music, but I have to be in the right mood for that album.

The last track on Disco Volante is my favorite. The first half, at least.

Goodbye Sober day is excellent, as well. Ben doing pretty much the same whenever I can.

It seems a lot like you need to find one song on one of their albums that you really like before you can get into the rest. Golem II or Ars Moriendi were the case for California, and Stubb (A dub) was what did it for their s/t. Once I got into the first album I got a quarter of the coursework done for the math course I was enrolled in at the time, and then some.

OddjobAbe · #**518** 06-13-2009, 04:18 PM

I love the bit that starts around the 0:40 mark on "Goodbye Sober Day". There's something about that that really gives me the chills. I loved "The Air Conditioned Nightmare" very much too. They were the two that really got me into that album.

I really loved California for it's more subtle bizarrness (I don't think that's the right term, but I think I'm being clear). I really loved s/t for the circus-esque, insane, completely mad feel. Disco Volante I loved for being the only album from a band so far that actually made me feel unsafe.

Irrelevant? I don't think any term applies less to Faith No More. True innovators, never complacent with recreating the same old stuff. The very fact that they influenced the whole nu-metal genre (whether you like it or doesn't matter) proves their relevance and importance to music today. Not to mention that many reviews of the couple of live shows they've played so far have praised them as one of the few, if not only, bands ever to reunite and still have the power to shock and surprise not only the 'norm', but their own fans.

But yes, it doesn't matter, because if you don't like them, you never have to listen to them.

A friend of mine couldn't shut up about sunno))) a few months ago. They certainly fill a niche.

well they kind of fill a niche, not singlehandedly along with earth, boris, khanate, + other more stoner oriented doomy bands such as electric wizard, indian, burning witch etc.

diagram of suburban chaos
absolutely mindblowing stuff! it's not common you get this level of glitch coupled with nice harmonies al a ochre/apparat.

parenthetical grrrrllz
a lot less 'indie' than their previous works, thank fucking heavens. they work well with a more 'grandiose timbre'

I got bullied into listening to Animal Collective by an evil fat cat smoking a cigar whilst laughing at my miserable failures on N+.

I fucking love them.

Yup. Uhuh.

Oh, yeah. And here is the new Animal Collective video.

Leto · #**526** 06-15-2009, 10:26 PM

Mike Patton is indeed vastly overrated, with a nerdragin' fanbase to boot. he has collaborated with some awesome people, but Faith No More most certainly do lick testicle

ONLY THE TRVEST NU METAL 4 MI

hey OANST, I think you might really like this album:

Ys - Joanna Newsom
really wonderful vocals. at first, they sound heinous, but after a few listens, you hear the subtle cracks and quick wavery note changes that are immense boner. kind of like if Regina Spektor was actually good.

I only mentioned nu-metal to explain an important aspect of the band's relevance.
You really need to work on your musical criticism. I know that you know what you're talking about, but you always take the "I'm an 11 year old kid on the internet" approach and it makes you appear a lot stupider than you are.

Wings of Fire · #**528** 06-16-2009, 05:36 AM

I think Leto is all about obfuscating stupidity

OddjobAbe · #**530** 06-16-2009, 07:39 AM

I agree with Leto. Patton is overrated. He's very good, but he's overrated. I find that if I enjoy a band with him in it, it's mainly because of the other members (for example, in Mr. Bungle, I found that not only was Dunn a great contributer, but his songs are generally regarded the best).

Facsimile · #**531** 06-16-2009, 07:05 PM

Well Mike Patton is quite easily my favourite vocalist, but I love FNM because I love FNM. I own and enjoy Introduce Yourself (the album before he joined) and think The Real Thing is their best work (the album which he had no musical contributions to whatsoever). He just happened to make a great band even better, but I also often wish he hadn't taken them away from their original funk metal sound, or made Jim Martin leave the band.
Similarly to you, OddjobAbe, I think that the other members of Mr. Bungle are all on equal grounds on their respective instruments and creativity to that of Patton's vocals, and if the band had gone on, for example, without Spruance; it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good.

I find that many of the more instrumental heavy songs are my favorites, but I still love Patton's voice.

OANST · #**533** 06-17-2009, 07:13 AM

I've listened to quite a few of their songs now, and I would have to say that 'Pink Cigarette' is the only one that I actually liked. I don't really care for them, it turns out.

shaman · #**534** 06-17-2009, 07:17 AM

I've been listening to Dope a lot resently.

Fight the power and all that.

If the songs you heard are only from the self-titled album and the California album, certainly do not try "Disco Volante". Even I find that difficult ro listen to if I'm not in just the right mood.

OANST · #**536** 06-17-2009, 10:07 AM

I like difficult music. I own an album that is nothing but the sounds that the people got from burying a microphone in their back yard, and recording the sounds of earthworms and passing vehicles. And I've listened to it more than once.

I just don't particularly like Mr. Bungle. They are obviously talented, though.

OddjobAbe · #**537** 06-17-2009, 10:16 AM

I'm glad that you can appreciate their talent without liking them. A lot of people I know have just told me that they're talentless fucks, and that I am not right in the head. I obviously dispute this, and find it irritating that people can be so ignorant.

Laser · #**538** 06-17-2009, 01:36 PM

I have been listening to DMX's debut album "It's Dark and Hell Is Hot" that is one seriously good album and I feel it started the golden age of rap which lasted up until The Eminem Show and 50 cent
