Old stuff, but i guess there's a small chance that someone will actually read my post and say "oh, you like Lacuna Coil? I have their first song, do you want it? You know, the one they made before they were called Lacuna Coil" or something of the sort (although the real reason for this thread is most likely, unless i'm über-paranoid, that you want to get a list of artists and songs to download because you've become bored with the music you have; it's alright, it happens to me every now and then too), so here i go:
Lacuna Coil - The entire "Unleashed memories" album is amazing, and "Comalies", "In a reverie" and "Halflife" aren't too far behind (especially the latter two). The "Karmacode" preview sounds interesting; let's see what they have to offer in 2006. Amazing female vocals (most beautiful voice i've ever heard) and great male backing vocals and guitar+electronics. And you can download pics too (Cristina Scabbia is, in my opinion, the most good-looking woman in existence).
Sirenia - Each subsequent album has been a step down from the previous one ("Sirenian shores" was terrible; i'm honestly scared of whatever it is they'll release next), but "An elixir for existence" is still a good album and has a couple of brilliant songs. "At sixes and sevens" (their first album) is easily one of the best albums i've ever heard: nigh-perfect from the first note of "Meridian" (although it does begin kind of too suddenly and strongly for a first album) to the last of "In sumerian haze", and how the songs progressively become calmer and sadder (or something) until they reach the end of the album with what is one of the saddest songs and best violins i've ever heard ("In sumerian haze").
Something Corporate - While punk, rock and emo are overcrowded with shitty little bands with elaborate names, empty lyrics and repetitive chords and song titles, SoCo does have some very shitty songs (like "Drunk girl" and "If you c Jordan") but mostly writes interesting lyrics with music that's slightly more elaborate than most punk/rock/emo bands'. They have a couple of absolutely brilliant songs, and whoever writes the lyrics has an ability to write beautiful stories. "Konstantine" is the single song with the most beautiful lyrics i've ever heard/read in a song (while much more straightforward than DT and not nearly as dark, metaphoric and artistic, the story this song tells and the way it tells it are amazing). I uploaded the lyrics at http://www.freewebs.com/undocontrol/konstantine.html in case anyone wants to check them out and see what the song is about.
I could go on and on and on and on and on for the whole night, but i really need to read some stuff about DNA sequencing methods.

Welcome to what i sometimes like to call a home of some kind, Ic3queen. Enjoy. I hope you find this to be as much of a home as it's been to me.

AWARE! BEWARE! WAR!
Hello there Ic3queen! I can guarantee you'll have a good time here on the board because, everybody here is great or hilarious, or both.
Here I go;
- Paradise Lost -- (Hallowed Land, Embers Fire, Jaded)
- Anathema -- (Empty, Forgotten Hopes, Judgement)
- Metallica -- (For Whom The Bell Tolls, Master Of Puppets, Fixxxer)
- AC/DC -- (Touch Too Much, Thunderstruck, You Shook Me All Night Long)
- DT -- (Rundown, Tidal Tantrum, Silence And The Firmament Withdrew)
Now I want to underline something. Whenever I talked to a DT fan about their songs, I heard no mention of "Tidal Tantrum" which is in my opinion a hidden treasure. I wonder why it is hidden. Maybe because recording quality is below average, maybe because it is not coplicated as other DT songs or maybe for it is very short (3 minutes). Or probably I just have a special sympathy for it but I always get great reactions when I suggest it to someone. Attention please...

Hi there khanyon...hope you'll enjoy here...and for Tidal Tantrum:It's a great song,I love it...but then I'm not subjective ...I love all their songs...maybe you heard no mention of TT 'cause people say only few best songs in their opinion,which is always different from one to another person...
...I love all their songs...maybe you heard no mention of TT 'cause people say only few best songs in their opinion,which is always different from one to another person...Hi Rincewind, already enjoying..
You are %100 right. I know it seems stupid, like saying someone "love this song, love it !". But for some reason I always think TT is dis-respected. Maybe if DT played it in some live gigs, it would be liked much. Well, actually this last sentence fits with all the DT songs... OK.. I take it back. Tidal Tantrum is just an ordinary masterpiece by DT. Thank you mate, I'm much clearer and wiser now.

Welcome, khanyon. "Enjoi".
"Tidal" is a great song, but it has the misfortune of being in the same album as "Constant" (which everyone asks things about), "Insanity's" (which is amazing almost beyond words), "Hedon" (which everyone seems to like) and "Zodijackyl" (which is way overrated imo), so it doesn't get much attention.

Well mines subject to constant change, but right now...
Neurosis - Best songs are 'The Web', 'The Tide', 'Falling Unkown' and 'the eye of every storm'. Best album is souls at zero.
Dark Tranquillity - I love everything they've ever done. My Faeryland Forgotten, Haven, Fabric, The same, The Endless Feed, Away Delight Away, Mine's the Grandeur of Mellancholy Burning and White Noise/Black Silence are my favourites probably. Best album is Haven.
Kayo Dot - The Manifold Curiosity... no more need be said. Wayfarer too I guess. Just so much going on with them... it's such an unbelievably perfect application of this arty avantegarde approach... So much atmosphere and power in the music. Brings me to my knees.
Disillusion - Alone I stand... In FIRE!!! *Daw daga daw dagadaga daw dagadaga daw digi daw daw daw*!!! So good. and Back to times of splendor, the opening to that song is just so full and like, imageful (can't think of the word) but it's like, heaven on a stick!
When day Descends - Discovery. Just some of the best song writting ever. I must have listened to that song 100+ times and it never ever bores me. Not only that, but I can't find a single fault in it. Everything is in place, and it just builds to such a powerful moment towards the end.
