 		Unbelievably through a lot of proxies, etc, I've managed to download the song at work.

definitely interesting. I'm enjoying. Does all their stuff have this kind of experimental no-genre sound?

Does anyone like the new Sigur Rós song?


I've been meaning to check them out for a long time but never have. I think it's cause their name makes em sound like a spanish pop band. haha. what are they like?

I really can't think of a way to describe them but you can download their new song and watch the video for free here http://sigurros.com/dvd3.asp

I have only listened to the first Sigor Ros album. The best way I could describe their music is that it would probably be amazing to listen to it while you boot heroin.

Depends which era of 36 Crazyfists you're talking about. I still love the hell out of their first 2 albums. Well, first 2 on Roadrunner (Bitterness the Star and Snow-Capped Romance). After that they got kinda bland.

I kinda liked what i heard on Snow Capped Romance. Their newest album isn't half-bad. But i was never a big fan of them either way...his singing voice has WAY too much vibrato.

Oh yeah, haha. Me and my buddies used to get stoned and make fun of his voice. In spite of that I still like those first 2 records. Maybe just cause of the time they came out that's the kinda thing I was into. So those albums stuck with me since then. The 2 newest aren't bad, nothing I'd listen to very often, but they've definitely got some good tracks. Can't stand the one on the new album with the people talking about war in between choruses. Very irritating and phony sounding.

 		I'm arguably somewhat impressed. As soon as I start thinking "ok, these guys are one note breakdown kids" they start up with some pretty decent blast beats. I'll have to think this one over.

What's with all the Danny Glover quotes?

Edit: Ya, this is getting pretty thin for me. This one song was 90% Lethal Weapon quote. What the hell? I think I must've gotten ahold of one of their older cd's or something. They've gotta be better than this for everyone in here to be hyping them so much.

You should listen to iamerror instead he is a lot better than PTPM

That's the name of the band? iamerror? Cool. I shall look 'em up.
Figured out I'm not a fan of this PSTPM cd. Dunno if the others are good, but this is just a one time novelty at best. These guys gotta learn how to put a song together.

 		I got bored of August Burns Red. I do like their cover of Carol Of The Bells though. But as far as their own stuff, there isn't much that seperates it from the rest of the metalcore lot. Technically great players I'm sure, but the songwriting never stuck out for me. In fact, this has inspired me to delete As I Lay Dying from the iPod. If I'm gonna trash metalcore, I might as well mean it.

Currently Listening To: Metallica - Escape (again). haha. Fuckin' great song.

I understand as i lay dying. I mean, they've matured way past starting every song in the same key like they did on Frail Words Collapse and Shadows are Security, and i personally love em to death, but they do follow the same generic pattern most metalcore bands do.
August burns red, on the other hand, i disagree with you 100% on. Unless your standard is mastodon or some other prog-math-metal band, august burns red doesn't follow the standard at all. Maybe on a few songs on Thrill Seeker, but definitely not on Messengers. Plus they don't sing about the normal "waaa my girlfriend dumped me so let my blood tears fall upon autumn's grave." Their songs actually have meaning.
As for metallica, i haven't been able to listen to them since the whole band went fucking psychotic in the late 90s/early 00s. Honestly, just hearing the stupid shit they were bitching about and then hearing st. anger....i can't even listen to ride the lightning/black album any more. A pity actually...

That's rough man. I will never let anything ruin my enjoyment of the first 4 Metallica albums. Once they started up with the Load's they were a completely different band for me and luckily I've been able to isolate the 2 eras so I can still enjoy the first.

As for As I Lay Dying, I thoroughly examined the 2 albums I have. Shadows are Security got the cut, but the new one I actually enjoy parts of. Listening to the 2 back to back I can really appreciate the difference between them. Ocean Between Us has a much more thrashy sound and I'm not immediately bored with every song 10 seconds in like the last record. Besides, Shadows had guest vocalist such as Throwdown and Atreyu if I'm not mistaken. That's a red flag. haha. But had the songs delivered any sort of originality I would've kept it.

And for August Burns Red, I'll give it another chance. I think it's mostly their name that pisses me off. Very generic metalcore gayness. haha. Plus I'm sure they're bangs hang in front of one eye and they wear hoodies with flowers and skulls on them, etc etc. haha. But I'll try em out again.

Ya, I really hate metalcore fashion. All these bands look just as emo as the emo bands.

Yeah Oceans is years above Shadows. Even though i still like Confined. For the record, they didn't have the singer of atreyu...throwdown and some equally terrible band.
Yes ABR does have a very terrible name (they probably thought of it while they were young...can't really bash em for that). And they DO look like a bunch of mallcore posers. But didn't you say you liked norma scene and/or the chariot? They're the kings (i use the term "kings" lightly....should be "queens") of that. The last time i saw ABR live with Suicide Silence, Darkest Hour, and Unearth they were dressed normally. Maybe because they were playing with actual good metalcore bands that stuck true to the genre instead of the normal wannabe bands they usually tour with.
