JEFF LOOMIS - THE UlLTIMATUM

[craptastic]

It's no different than a Korn album in the sense that it's instant gratification music.

Wanna guess how I know yer dumb?

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

No, because I don't care.

It's my opinion that this blows and Jeff hasn't made anything solid since Enemies of Reality.

 

[craptastic]

Jeff hasn't made anything solid since Enemies of Reality.

Further proof yer.....dumb.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

You're dumb.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

yer both a little dumb.

Rehearsal of Mercurial.



And a picture of a frog with a top-hat.

 

[Mr.Sister]

That fucking frog is amazing. Now I'm gonna buy that record!!! Awesome frog!

 

[Archelaos]

I'm pretty disappointed. Sounds pretty stock. Sad... I wish now more than ever that he had stayed in Nevermore.

 

[Sauna]

he's moved on to kids who argue about tone and pickups on forums all day and masturbate to videos of harmonic minor sweep picking.

Exactly. Come on, this is fast food music. It has no substance.

I understand you haven't gotten over him leaving Nevermore, but making a fool of yourselves is not the answer.

They are so fucking right. And I'm a shredhead and shrapnel fan myself! Though I wouldn't go so far to call it fast food music or compare it to Korn, but he really changed his style to "look at this new version of the same song with even more fast licks".

btw: one of the best instrumental records of the last couple of years was Steve Smythe's Esseness Project, so much better than Zero Order Phase, but noone seemed to care about it...

Album Sampler

Some awesome stuff, mainly the less "metal" sounding songs. His shred stuff does kinda sound all the same after a while.

That chick would be great in Nevermore, along with Jeff and Van.

 

[freewill]

yea this is

 

[prman]

Marty Friedman and Jason Becker both did this album already in 1988.

My prediction:

Jeff rejoins Nevermore in the future, they put out an album and it is in no way reminiscent of "classic" Nevermore like This Godless Endeavor or those real vintage records with six string guitars on them, but instead some "half-assed songwriting with cheesy lyrics. Jeff should just quit again and do solo stuff or just put the guitar down 'cus he just can't do anything right because he plays a seven string and sweeps and stuff."

:Smug:

I am pissed that he left nevermore but at the same time I am not going to write off whatever else he does, or dismiss the fact that he was a huge part of Nevermore and is a great guitarist.

 

[Karmic]

the one with rhoades is pretty sweet

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

i got the album the other day and it's awesome. tons of feeling on this one. excellent work!

 

[freewill]

Why do you assume the lyrics would be cheesy, just wondering since I don't have a track record of stupid lyrics

I only saw Jeff's set the other bands didn't really do anything for me
