what stuff has that? i love bass.

 

[dorian gray]

Yeah, give us an example

 

[Krilons Resa]

Anything compressed to shit which is most stuff outside of jazz/classical these days, sadly.

It's also a factor in the playback equipment. I enjoy a nice balanced, coherent sound. I used to be a huge basshead though. Most people are...turn that bass way up to drown out everything else.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Man, the new Fucked Up album is gonna make every other supposedly "heavy" album released this year laughable. LAUGHABLE, I say!

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Wait, it's already out. I'm a moron!

 

[neal]

glad my stereo isnt so fancy that it makes all the music i love sound like shit

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

What he fuck was that shit Aurel?!?! uke:


I'm gonna make this declaration now: Nothing to be released this year will beat out the new WOBBLER album. I expected it to be great, but not this great! Best prog album I have heard in years.

Lots of Yes influence on this one as the new vocalist is a dead ringer for Anderson. Some GG thrown in, vocal harmonies, scandinavian folk..ya know, WOBBLER. Nice organic sound to boot.

I just listened to the track "The River" on YouTube. HOLY SHIT

 

[lurch70]

I like this guy ... this is a nice track

[Krilons Resa]

My 2 favorite albums of the year are from Norway. Scandinavia FTW.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

New Bon Iver album. HMMMMMMMMMM....

 

[lurch70]

Good liver? Is that a Bob Ross cover?

 

[Krilons Resa]

The new Bon Iver sucks.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Dude, it's that [Wobbler] album that sucks.* This shit is godly.




*still haven't listened

 

[Krilons Resa]

This shit is godly.

LMFAO! You are truly out of your mind.

Godly.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

You are truly out of your mind.

I have truly begun to wonder this lately.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Okay, this [Wobbler]'s pretty good. But DEAR LORD they're ripping off Yes to an almost shameful degree--you can't deny that!

 

[swizzlenuts]

Yeah, this album has a lot more yes than their previous releases.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Since they live in Norway, I assumed they just now got Yes.

I'd like this album a lot more if I was still a prog fanboy. Don't know why, but the only stuff I can really stand to listen to anymore is Genesis and KC. This just does nothing for me.

 

[E-bortion]

Close to the Edge ftw

 

[Ellestin]

maybe something for the happy progsters...



exceperts from Akin's new album The Way Things End. Playful prog rock from France with female vocals (an acquired taste but actually a strong vocalist), quite interesting arrangements and melodies. A very nice, sunny album overall, and the guitarist is a friend of mine so I thought I'd make a post for the sheer beauty of it.
