Those too.. And bad boy, the Ulver record is lovely!

 

[Tubbs]

I just find it too short and it doesn't seem to go anywhere. It's probably my least favorite Ulver release so far. :shrug:

I still like it somewhat, but I definitely don't think it's album of the year material.

Venetian Snares - My Downfall
Opeth - The Roundhouse Tapes
Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient
Porcupine Tree - FoaBP

Venetian Snares - My Downfall

Damnit.. I still haven't heard it Better than Rossz Csillag blah blah blah?

Damnit.. I still haven't heard it Better than Rossz Csillag blah blah blah?

Can anything really be better?
In short: if Rossz is 10, MD is 9. It leans much more on the classical side, I'd say it has a more cinematic feel. There's only something like 4 songs with breakbeats... A recommended album.

There's plenty of good stuff here you've just never heard of.

That's just one part of the album which is basically one 62-minute song, but it gives a clue.

 

[Burnout]

Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement
Circus Maximus - Isolate
Explosions In the Sky - All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone
Quo Vadis - Live in Montreal
Caspian - The Four Trees

 

[HoursOfDebt]

im sure they wont get much love on this board but Clutch's "From Beale Street to Oblivion" was an excellent "rock" album.

I doubted it would beat it! Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett (?) is one of my favourite albums ever. But yeh, this sounds cool! I will have to try and download it.

I hope this isn't a good example of what the album is like

 

[annt]

It isn't, but it's an exapmle nonetheless.
