12. Caliban - Say Hello To Tragedy

14. Devin Townsend - Ki

Pretty much in order. I'm sure it will change around though. I might be missing something.... There was a whole lot of total poop albums, I gave just about every recommendation a chance.

Basically every album I was looking forward to so far has been a downgrade from their previous album, some more so than others. Insomnium, WITTR, EToS, OMC, Shining... Ki was immensely overrated but is ok, not even close to his best work.

The Porcupine Tree album still needs some soaking in but it is good stuff

[ShadowCreator]

Yeah, there are some albums coming up for me that should basically make the next couple months overwhelming.

Katatonia, Skyfire, Hypocrisy, Woods Of Ypres, Nargaroth, Lifelover, Immortal.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

I was told that the new Immortal is gonna be awesome.

 

[Gadlor]

Andrew W.K. covers japanese anime soundtracks? oh yesssssssss

 

[AeonicSlumber]

You are such a goddamn weab....























^_^v kawaii!

 

[The Don]

I don't know what's worse: The real reason you actually stumbled upon that picture or the fact that you can readily associate that guy with Andrew WK. Very concerning indeed.

 

[darkcubus]

Wait.. is that for real?

 

[Gadlor]

Haha, yeah, it is. Sorry Don, that's an actual portrayal of Andrew W.K. in anime style.

Now that doesn't mean I'm not wackin' it furiously to said picture....
but its ferreal. The tunes are actually pretty entertaining.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

^_^ hihihihihihihihihi

 

[The Don]

LOLOL nice dude

 

[AeonicSlumber]

The new Alice In Chains is absolutely incredible! What a god damn trip this beast is. It goes from being absolutely crushingly heavy, doomy, and derranged to classic dirty grunge to psychedelic. I go from sinking my teeth into some tasty riff to drifting off into space on some ethereal melody (sometimes doing both at the same time). The songwriting is genius and the vocal harmonies sound like mournful cries from beyond the grave. Fuck the hate, fuck the kids who think they couldn't do it without Layne. This shit rules. AOTY. Sorry Neige.

 

[Bleak Eyes]

The new Porcupine Tree is indeed very fantastic.

 

[ShadowCreator]

AOTY. Sorry Neige.

Now now, lets not get carried away

 

[AeonicSlumber]

If you can't handle it then you can gtfo brah.

 

[The Don]

[ShadowCreator]

If you can't handle it then you can gtfo brah.

Was just fuking around. I never got into Alice In Chains

 

[AeonicSlumber]

FUCK YOU

NO U

 

[ShadowCreator]

Yo, Aeonic mayn, you should ask around n see if Henrik has anything new going on with Favilla

 

[Gadlor]

It's okay, guys. Chill.

In the style of the great neal-san...

Both Amesoeurs and Alice in Chains suck. No need to argue.
