    I think, WeAreInFlames, that you are right about spanish being better suited to pop. Of course, it is best suited to latin music, but it fits very well with pop. I've never heard growled spanish, but it sounded pretty cool in an old school metal sound. I'm probably in the same boat as Feathers &...

    It's been a long time since I posted here, mainly because I started exploring other genres. I'm sure my avatar and sig are childish as fuck, so yeah, apologies in advance. Recently I've been listening to metal again, and I've been thinking about how the choice of language affects the sound...

    New Cynic

    I'm in love with the new album.

    Tool

    I'm not so sure about that. They do get debated on prog forums whether or not they are prog, but the fact is that they are more inventive then most prog bands, they are "in" with the best of them (they even toured with king crimson), they write concept albums, and while they aren't flashy, they...

    Metal recommendations for someone who loves Classical music

    I find hubster's point very interesting, but I disagree. Essentially the premise is that since all of the techniques had already been developed by the baroque period, the only thing that has changed is the application of the technique. Yes, we still use the same notes, scales and chords are the...

    Nine Inch Nails

    The Fragile is far and away their best album. It is richer and more complex then The Downward Spiral, but not complex in a wanky prog way, but rather like classical music, where every part has a place and is obediant to the whole. It displays more nuance and maturity then the downward spiral...

    Cryptopsy - The Unspoken King

    I only heard "bemoan the martyr," but I actually liked it. I don't think seemed unfocused, as the original reviewer said, but I do agree that the keyboards were misused. It seems like there is keyboards for coloring occasional spots, but the keyboards aren't used enough or given enough presence...

    Obscure/Lesser Known Classic/Prog Rock Album recs (that don't suck)

    This is great! To it, I add a more accessible intro album: Eskaton: 4 visions

    Controversial non-metal opinions

    I don't agree with your argument, but I agree with your conclusion. If millions like an album, that just means that millions liked it, not that it is good. Seriously, to make a hit these days, all you need is a catchy melody and garageband, which is what some hits actually sound like. Now, I saw...

    Albums with best guitar tone

    I hate to come across as a lame fanboy, but my favorite guitar tone of all time is meshuggah-nothing (the original, not the remaster). Meshuggah has great tone after that album too, but somehow it isn't quite as compelling. Other ones I like: Darkthrone- Under a Funeral Moon, A Blaze in...

    Metal with saxophone?

    I discovered yakuza on youtube. They are neat, I must admit. It is close to the lines of what I'm looking for, but at times it still seems too chaotic to be metal. Hopefully you know what I mean. They seem more -core then metal, but it still is awesome. I prefer more melody, I guess, or at least...

    Metal with saxophone?

    Hah, this is great. Thanks for ressurecting this list. I forgot to check out all of the bands! I didn't even follow a single reccomendation, lol. I'm totally sorry for wasting those people's time a year ago. I'll bookmark this so I remember to check some of it out next time.

    Meshuggah - obZen

    Okay, I researched pineal gland, and this is what I got: So, I hope this helps anyone trying to puzzle out the lyrics. What has me stumped is pravus. I looked it up, and I found some secret island in a role-playing game. The word has to mean something, right? I loved this...
