2006 CDs and shows - your favorites?

[RobbM]

Yeah, but did she do it because shes a fan, or for the publicity?

 

[War_Blade]

well shes from texas, and i heard that in a interview that she listens to ac dc and heavy metal so i dont really know. It is kinda hard for my to picture her headbanging to walk or something.

 

[Androz]

Yeah, but did she do it because shes a fan, or for the publicity?

Obviously she did that cause she wanted publicity among Pantera fans

 

[War_Blade]

here is kelly clarkson's

Does she even play guitar? And that's ugly also.

 

[War_Blade]

no she doesn't.


It seems like she is a pretty down to earth person though. I have no problems with her.

 

[Rose Immortal]

It just felt like they regressed, like there was less creativity than Lateralus. That said, there WERE things on there I liked. I just wasn't impressed with the album as a whole the way I was with Lateralus.

 

[Horus]

I see. I wasnt sure if you were saying it was a travesty or not. I guess you're kinda right. It really doesn't have as much Toolyness as Lateralus did. But hey, at least we know they still exist.

"Travesty" would be too strong. The "Wings for Marie"/"Wings Pt. 2" suite was impressive in an almost Opethian way. I was almost getting a vibe like some of the softer sections of Morningrise, especially "The Night and the Silent Water".

But to describe the whole album...I think "underwhelmed" would be the word for it. I felt like they should've shown more maturity, for one...I felt like they went for shock value instead of sophistication in some of the lyrics, and there was just too much similarity between many of the songs for them to stand out. And Maynard's vocals just weren't as dynamic.

It's one of those albums that I think will wind up being like Scenes from a Memory for me...some individual songs are good but I'm not sure I'll EVER warm up to listening to the whole thing in one sitting. I'm going to let it sit before I trade it in, though...I don't want to trade it and regret it later when I might like it more.

 

[RobbM]

Travesty? no, Boring? Yes....
