... but you also think ho-hum bands like Unanimated and Ares Kingdom are top-tier

don't give a fuck about what you think of unanimated or ares kingdom

dso are bloated nonsense favoring style over substance

 

[EspaDa]

When it comes to industrial bm, what about The Axis of Perdition?

But when comes the DsO/Carley Rae Jepsen split 7?

 

[Mort Divine]

don't know but 'til then this will be ok

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... man keep that garbage out of the metal related threads.

SMRC is obvs bloated but also, at its best, quite substantial, deeply felt shit. better than rilo kiley imo

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i dont think someone who likes sleep-inducing bands like those two mentioned would ever be able to enjoy materiel as layered and dense as SMRC.

I prefer Fas and Paracletus (and the eps) because my attention span isn't strong enough for SMRC.

On an unrelated note, I'd like to sell my DsO vinyl picture disc box set. It looks gorgeous but it's a lot to deal with.

Give me hirilorn instead

Oh he's been doing this for years, as I'm sure you have noticed.

Really? I just figured it was a byproduct of hearing damage he's accrued after years of attending metal shows.

Obviously that Carly Rae song above contains all the substance and emotional depth that songs such as "Sola Fide I" and "Carnal Malefactor" are so clearly missing.

 

[no country for old wainds]

speaking as one of this board's pop sympathisers, that song is pretty weak.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Nietzschean and existentialist philosophy, coupled with laser sharp guitar, drums, etc., versus intellectually depthless invocations of "happiness" to hawk the goods of a supermarket to the tune of beta male pseudo funk? Hmmmmm... tough one...

Ironic that he enjoys such blatant shilling for a large corporation. However, I hope you're not using "beta male" unironically.

It's a lot more redeemable than every other CRJ song Mort has ever posted. Then again, that's probably because it's not even her song originally.

 

[Phylactery]

I actually listened to the CRJ song and it was terrible. Don't know how someone with generally good taste in metal (going off his 1992 list) can unironically like this shit.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I'm not going to say it was the worst thing ever (because there is shit far worse than this) but it was pretty boring even with the low expectations I tend to hold for pop as a genre.

"Outta sight", that broad wouldn't know outta sight if James Brown did the mashed potato all over her overpriced leather skirt.

 

[CiG]

All of these bands being discussed are overwhelmingly boring as shit.

But they're all way better than Lil Yachty ffs.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I'm using it to describe how emasculated it is, particularly compared to actual funk.

Sorta like how black metal is so emasculated relative to actual metal.
