~No offense to whomever mentioned it but I think Steely Dan are probably the worst musicians in the world. Eww, I'd rather have root canal work done while Load, Reload and Risk were playing on shuffle.

~Anyways I've been trying to expand my metal a bit but I always end up coming back to the classics. I just recently ordered,... Nuclear Assault-Game Over/The Plague and damn do I miss those fuckers! If anyone needs to get back together it's NA. That one's probably one of the best speed metal albums ever made. Other than that,...

-Iced Earth: Dark Genesis box. Their Tribute to the Gods is a killer album, best covers album ever done easily. Maybe Testament should do one?
-My Dying Bride: The Dreadful Hours. Dark metal at it's finest.
-Summon: Baptised by Fire. Local technical black/thrash outfit,... if only they weren't so diabolical lol.
-Flotsam&Jetsam: My God. Some good riffs and ideas with dry production. But when did Eric AK decide to suck on vocals? Lard is not a healthy influence.
-Rotting Christ: Triarchy of the Lost Lovers. A new classic.
-Cannibal Corpse: Gore Obsessed. Even non drummers have to agree that Paul Mazo is so boring behind the kit.
-Monstrocity: Enslaving the Masses 2/disc. Probably the most underrated death metal band on the planet. They began where early Malevolent left off and have only gotten better with each album.
-Dragon Lord: Rapture. Any Testament fan with even the slightest black metal inclination will like this one. Plus you get to hear Eric Peterson (guitar and vocals) and Steve Digiorgio along-side new Testament members Jon Allen, (amazing drummer, hidden behind Sadus for too long) and Steve Smyth (perfect solos, puts James Murphy to shame)
-Megadeth: Rude Awakening 2/disc. The best send-off a great metal band could have done. Great live set, only missing a few of my favorites,... in fact this is such a good live album and closure for the band that I'm beginning to wonder if this break-up is planned?

 

[fallout_boy613]

The Haunted Live Rounds
Down II
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly - original score (not metal but it's fucking amazing)
Just got Human Remains - Where Were You When...
It's the entire discography on two discs of an amazing band.

Earache and Nuclear Blast sure know how to put good packages together.

 

[Apocalyptic Me]

Testament
Megadeth
Metallica
Dream Theater
Cacophony (Jason Becker is fuckin amazing!)

 

[Sasser]

I just got the new Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos. It's great.

There is nothing wrong with Steely Dan, I love metal, I AM metal, but sometimes I have to kick back and relax, in addition to metal , some of my other fav bands are, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Alice in Chains, AC/DC, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Faith No More just to name a few...as for Steely Dan being crappy musicians, you must have never listened to them, Reeling in the Years, and Do It Again are really great songs.

~I only know of a couple of songs they wrote. One went "Jimmy don't lose that number" and the other was like, "Are you really Dr. Wu?" To me IMO, their singer is atrocious, cohesive song structures are most likely purposefully ignored to sounds avante', (bass and drums aren't even attempting a rythm section) and the instrument choices clash each other like John Tesh opening for Mayhem. On the other hand to be fair, maybe I wouldn't hate them so much if they weren't constantly pumped in at the super market I worked at for 5 years. Give me Blue Oyster Cult or give me death, that's real rock and roll.

 

[AjDeath]

I never said Steely Dan were rock and Roll, there more easy listening, and one of the biggest reasons I like them is because they always made music that they like and they have some great songs to show for it, all of their songs are't good however, although I like Ricky don't lose that Number, I can't say that some of their other songs are too good, i.e. Bhudisahttva. But anyways as I said before I listen to a lot of different things, Jazz is another favorite of mine.
