Dredg

[Braighs]

Way too pretentious for my liking.

I have been hearing that argument more lately. I don't see it as a bad thing. If a band wants to tackle difficult concepts and especially if they succeed and make a great album, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?!

Also, it is quite difficult for "pretentious" bands to get on MTV.

I define pretentious as "Ulver".

Thanks to all of you, I will open my ears to another band soon... I was wondering about them and they seem to be great.

Cheers !

Ive been a HUGE dredg fan since their first cd, Leitmotif and El Cielo are theyre best works and blow CWOA out of the water but are just so much fun to listen to, really rock out to that shit.

edit: most down to earth band ever, i met them after a show, got a poster that i ripped off the wall signed with all of their personal little drawings next to the sigs and shook the guitarist's hand, all are great guys, them and opeth are the only bands i can say were just an outright joy to see live

i'm seeing them live on Tuesday in San Jose, California.

should be good, although the main reason i'm going to Taste of Chaos is for the Deftones.

Hey while I was in the shop I saw another one of their albums with just a plain cardboard cover/case.. What is this album? Is it as good as El ceilo?

An Elephant in the Delta Waves is one of the greatest interlude type songs ever.

Heard them on XM the other day on the way to the Wiltern gig. Must get some of their fucking CDs.

sounds like leitmotif to me...

not as good as el cielo...
more of an instrumental work...but good nonetheless...

"Walk in the Park" is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. The acoustic piano and oboe are very well-played. Written by Mark Engles the guitar player after a "dream" he had. This short "brushstroke" is off of "El Cielo."Peace.

I like Leitmotif the best but they all have their moments. Good band... I'm worried what their next albuk will be like

me too. They seem to be on a slide headed toward MTV and mediocrity.
