T. Reznor is better now than ever

Our office sounds like the *zip* of blinds being drawn shut every day at 2pm when the sun starts to shine directly in! That, or rowdy french people.

Queensryche - I Remember Now is playing for another 14 seconds, then onto the music part of Operation Mindcrime!

T. Reznor is better now than ever

T.Reznor, the man, the myth, the legend...
But I don't know what to feel about "The Slip" really, it just doesn't reach up to the same heights as the previuos masterpieces. It's good, no doubt about that, but there is something missing.

 

[cenzu]

...but there is something missing.

A record company? :Smokin:

 

[christer]

A record company? :Smokin:

T.Reznor gives record labels the finger, seems like we'll see more of that. Radiohead did the same with "In Rainbows", didn't they?

 

[cenzu]

yeah. actually it's in one way a very healthy development in the music business.
the artists that make music for the love of music go independent, while the ones who want money and fame stay with the sinking ships called "major record labels".

But on the other hand I fear some of the artists loose an essential part of their self-critics when noone is bossing them around.

but this is just my thoughts.

Yeah, perhaps so... Good point.

 

[cenzu]

btw. Metallica also spoke about leaving their record company when their deal ends

Judas Priest - Nostradamus

The gays at cdwow finally managed to deliver this deluxe edition(I ordered it in june..) today...

 

[cenzu]

hehe... I have the deluxe version... nice package, but the music isn't what it could be

 

[Aran]

Evergrey - Torn

Good stuff

 

[Kirsty]

Calming, soothing, classical music. I woke up in a bit of a panicked and homesick mood - 5 months after moving I'd say this is the delayed reaction setting in

Frankly, I didn't expect much(only heard 2 songs before).
But it's now on the second spin and I think it's better than it's reputation.
The JP folks is getting close to 60y'rs.
Halfords voice 'left' him after the first Fight record in my humble opinion.

This is atleast an 6 out of 10, and I trust it will grow up to 7 or 8 in the end

It's all there, the classic priest things, not a Metal classic, but as a concept album it's OK.

Personally I'm a bigger fan of the 2 Halford solo's than the 2 ne JP's.
But they also have their moments.
Thank god Nostradamus isn't 10 x "Lochness" because that song was (and still is) terrible.
But I think JP didn't have enough ideas, musical wise, to fill up the whole double album.

 

[russel]

Personally I'm stuck with Priest-era 74-78...

 

[cenzu]

actually I think their best song is maybe "victim of changes" followed by Screaming for Vengeance and Painkiller

 

[christer]

The gays at cdwow...

Close friends to Mr Halford perhaps...

 

[DrThrash]

I currently listen a lot to technical/brutal death metal: Psycroptic, Spawn Of Possession, Decrepit Birth, Necrophagist, Deadborn. Can anyone recommend other similar bands?

 

[Cello]

Pagan's Mind - Astral Projectio

I'm afraid I have't heard one single band of the ones you mantioned, so it's hard to reccomend anything similar :zombie:

Keldian - The Last Frontier
