re: swizzlenuts

if you're listening to SOP for their melodies, i think you're kinda missing the point

Agreed, though I do think SoP do a good job incorporating "some" melody in with their deviant technical mastery... There are definitely some songs that i could hum to off of Cabinet, and the same could definitely go for these songs.

I like how both bands have all these technical riffs, but with all the technicality they have these catchy as hell riffs that actually keep a song together, and I don't get that from these two new albums.

 

[Fractal_Mortality]

It's true you have to look much harder for catchy parts in Symbols of Failure... I would'nt even say it's individual riffs, as certain sections that stick in my mind.

Let's not completely throw Noctambulant in this category until we've heard the entire album, however. The band says that there are some surprises within the 42 minutes that comprise the record.

ya know, i have to say that i more respect bands that don't rely on hooks to make an impact in the tech/math/noise/whatever genre... it's not their job to write hooks, and more often than not these melodic bits are not only of lesser quality than the br00tal parts but are indeed inferior to other bands that specialize in a more melodic sound. not that the latter specifically applies to SOP, as their melodic bits are quite good, but they still are inferior in quality to the tech/brutal parts.

also

fucking Crowpath doesn't have a single "melody" anywhere in their catalogue and that's exactly why i want to listen to them.

 

[Fractal_Mortality]

Crowpath is awesome, but tiring to listen to, and that's definitely attributed to a lack of melody.

 

[Teh Grimace]

good bands convey a certain mood or aesthetic in their sound...

crowpath's is that of being punched in the head for half an hour.

 

[skeptik]

As you floorpunch.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Tech/math/whatever bands with no melody are usually fucking terrible. And I listen to noise so I'm pretty sure I'm not a melody whore...

 

[Teh Grimace]

most bands are usually fucking terrible.

but again, i repeat those two special words...

CROW-

PATH

As you floorpunch.

i wrote this poem for you...

"dodens = big gay creampie
plz fuckoffanddie
kthanxbi"

do you like it?

 

[skeptik]

Do you deny floorpunching?

 

[Teh Grimace]

not only do i deny it, i loath, detest, and @ it.

as i do you.

buddy.

EDIT: i am so fucking pissed right now... the Heat were up by 10+ on the Pistons, and now it's a 3 point game... DIE FUCKING PISTONS!!

 

[skeptik]

I thought you liked me.

 

[Teh Grimace]

yeah, i guess i do, im just all, ummm, atwitter over this fucking ballgame.

if the pistons lose tonight and the spurs win, we're tied for #1.

:happydance:
