Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is nuts.

The new cd is tremendous. I just havent listened to it enough to fully wrap my head around it. I think it will take MANY listens to fully achieve that endeavor though.

 

[Demilich]

Wow, that Youtube shattered my expectation that this band would be totally artfaggy and a waste of time.

 

[Krilons Resa]

How could you even understand wtf was going on in that video. lol

I couldnt.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

a better representation. here they are actually clothed, somewhat.

 

[Demilich]

This is pretty fucking fucked.

Looks like many of us are eating our words in regards to SGM.

NAD: Which album converted you?

Grand Opening and Closing, in particular Ablutions. I need to pick up their new one, since I've heard nothing but good things about it, and this one has a firm wedge of awesome kicked straight up my peehole.

Angle of Repose and Salt Crown back to back was fucking epic.

yeah definitely. Those two songs are just ridiculous in how well written and structured they are. I don't know.


plus, I'd totally bone Carla Kihlstedt

Okay I got the new one now, only listened to it once.

This is one of those albums that I thought "pretty okay" upon said listen, but I know upon further inspection will grow to be something immense. There are some already very intense moments that will likely grow moreso when familiarity takes hold. This prospect excites me.

I still have yet to hear the new one, but I read one review that described it as the "Disco Volante" of their catalogue... meaning some will praise it as their best, and everyone else will just give up and ignore it

In Glorious Times is fantastic, but it doesn't beat Of Natural History, which I suspect will always be their best. I'd say In Glorious Times is better than Grand Opening & Closing, though, even though that one was also fantastic.

Nothing will ever top "The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity Opens the Discussion", especially when combined with its intro "A Hymn to the Morning Star". In fact, I think this one is moving up into my top 10 all-time list as of now.

Oh, definitely.

the first two tracks are spectacular, and then follows "Phthisis", which is absolutely phenomenal, one of my favorite SGM tracks.

Okay, so I need the middle album it seems. Cool.

hahaha I love Bungle but man, California is the only one I listen to constantly.
