Anybody listen to these bands? If you want a challenging Avant-garde Metal experience check them out.

Very interesting...

If you like UneXpect you, more than likely, will like Sleepytime. The new Sleepytime album is much more extreme than the last two.

They're neither challenging nor avant-garde - just spastic pointless bullshit.

Spin all you want, only the easily impressed find either band remotely interesting, much less 'challenging' or 'avant-garde.'

you are a special man

 

[Scourge of God]

you are a special man

Of course I am. Unlike most, I don't fall for the bullshit hype pumped out by record companies. It might make me odd, but it keeps me in touch with a little thing those of us in the elite like to call 'reality.'

ur my hero <3

Anyways. I've heard Sleepytime. Pretty interesting stuff, but I can't say I've actually listened enough to really form a proper opinion on them.

Havn'et heard UneXpect. How are these two bands related?

 

[Liquid Tension]

I like Unexpect but I couldn't get into Sleepytime's earlier material....

I like Unexpect quite a bit. I would love to see them live as I hear it's quite circus-like.

As an aside, I really cannot understand how people continue to think that having an opinion different than others validates their existence to a higher point. I'm sure SOG will be prompted to write an essay at this point detailing how music actually is objective and the like. I've heard it all before, I've read it all before, and I have yet to actually see something that convinces me that music is objective. So unless you, SOG, actually have a way to explain it in a way that no one on this board has ever seen before, I think you are wasting your time trying to convince people that you're more in touch with reality because you don't like two specific bands.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum's pretty cool. Can't listen to it for a long time on end, though.

There's nothing in the catalog of either band that hasn't already been done by The Thought Industry or Maudlin of the Well or Sculptured or NoMeansNo or Mr. Bungle or Red Harvest or Solefald or Pain of Salvation or Behold the Arctopus or literally dozens of other bands working the same gimmicky terrain, some of whom even managed to make music in the process. It's not 'avant-garde' because it's all been done before: it's not 'challenging' because it never amounts to more than poorly articulated remcombinations of the known.

lol@failing to mention a lot of their true RIO influences and pretending to know lots
