[A Fair Judgment]

The new Srapping Young Lad rocks my hairy anus! Please, discuss.

[NFU]

yea i probably should keep that as my signature. it just becomes more and more relevant.

 

[Agalloch]

The New Black sucks.

 

[cheechonaleash]

Sorry to venture off topic.... BUT, did anyone else notice the similarities in the above 2 avatars?

 

[saut]

*scratches forehead*

nope, just you

 

[NFU]

yea, superior minds think alike.

although i am slightly more superior than him. afterall, anyone who creates strapping young lad purposely...obviously has some issues.

 

[Heckelgruber]

He knows he has his issues and God knows...

Ha nice one.

I am reallylookin forward to The New Black...apparently the band have ditched their wall of sound approach which makes me worry a bit

 

[Indrid Cold]

It's ok - I bought it yesterday and listened to it once through. Some songs are memorable, some songs remind me of The Devin Townsend Band, and others seem like filler songs. The New Black doesn't touch Alien, but maybe I'll feel better about after a few more listens.

 

[AshDLS]

Hate to be a knob, but everything after City seems fairly mediocre run-of-the-mill metal.

lol Agalloch is a bigger douche than NFU. he can't even appreciate a decent Andy Sneap mastering.

 

[the_drip]

btw Alien is pretty shitty compared to this new one. City is really the only SYL album someone needs to own though, unless you're a big fan.

I've heard and I really like it. It's different than their other albums which is always good. Almost Again, Wrong Side, You Suck, Anti-Product, and The New Black are all good tunes.

I'm going to try and find the digipak this weekend with The Long Pig and C:enter:###.

 

[Heckelgruber]

I've had it for a few weeks and I'm not at all impressed by it. All the SYL silliness on other albums seems fun, but on this one it's more annoying. And it doesn't in any way crush like bits of Alien - it's a pity.

I haven't heard the new disc yet, but if I should be judging by this video...

... I expect it to be pretty enjoyable.
The "epic" parts sounds nice.

 

[NFU]

listening to "silly" bands is just....well..."silly".

 

[Heckelgruber]

I like the way Dev mixes humour with metal, although I wouldn't want too many bands to do that.

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

Ok, I've been REALLY looking forward to 'The New Black'. I loved 'Alien', not really because of the humour aspect at all, but because parts of it were genuinely different, and totally crushed.

Thus far, from the new record, I have heard 'Wrong Side' and 'You Suck'. All I can say is... those had BETTER be the weakest tracks on there...

Maybe it will be a grower...

 

[Agalloch]

Andy Sneap is for queers.
