Yay, first post.

I'm feeling horribly out of place here, but I'm currently listening to the most recent Front Line Assembly album, Artificial Soldier. And I find it vaguely ironic that they now sound like... well, just about every other Industrial band out there, just with more of a tendancy towards Gibson references, and fans are praising them for "setting a new standard in the genre with this one".

I really need to listen to more Frontline Assembly, but what I've heard hasn't particularly piqued my interest.

Meat Loaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light

It's one of those songs that I never openly admit to liking... but if it's playing, and no one's around, I dance and stuff. And sing along. Especially the girl parts. STOP RIGHT THEEEEEEEERE I GOTTA KNOW RIGHT NOOOOOOWWWWW

Also, brings me back to those "Begging for sex days."

Admittedly, not much has changed with the whole begging thing... I just don't have "teen" in my age anymore.

I really couldn't blame you. FLA is, moreso than most bands, not for everyone. In fact, I've really yet to find someone who likes their entire catalogue. Everyone seems to have a favorite era for them - their earlier stuff is better, in my opinion.

That said, remixes and covers of their stuff seem to generally be more acessable, to most people.

I've had this for a while but it really just started to grow on me. In the past 2 or 3 months I've grown to love it, but before that I was kinda like, 'meh'.

I like a lot of their 'similiar artists' and everything (Front 242, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Covenant and Assemblage 23, according to last.fm). I probably just need to hear the right tracks.

Nattefrost - Nekronaut (Cunt Cunt Gimme More)

I fucking love Nattefrost. It's like Carpathian Forest's 'He's Turning Blue' made into a whole band.

Murderdolls - Dead in Hollywood

Man, why did that mofo Jordison have to get mixed up with Wednesday 13 and fuck everything up with tons of 14 year old sheep fans.

Whatever, this is still pretty much classic Frankenstein Drag Queens with a bit better production.

From what little I've heard, Murderdolls > Wednesday 13, depite my roommate's protests to it being the other way around.

As for current music, I'm switching to the second CD I bought today, now that I've listened to Artificial Soldier a few times and decided that it's not really for me. This is another industrial selection; Cannibal Anthems by :Wumpscut:. And, from what the opening track and the stuff from the EP before this sound like, I'm thrilled with it so far. It seems like he's going back to his previous, more energetic sound - and given the mixed reactions that the last CD got, I think I can see why.

His solo shit has a lot of weak songs, but there's some good stuff. He's better when he sticks to the formula he's long established, with tracks like God is a Lie, Bad Things and Look What The Bats Dragged In. There's also a feeling that he's got a bit more serious on Transylvania 90210, which doesn't fit his musical style or image at all. All of the stuff Wednesday 13's done might as well be the same band though. I personally prefer the Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13: half of the Murderdolls songs actually are just redone FDGFP13 songs. All of it's fun music though.

Talking about it, I'm on a W13 megamix now. The Murderdolls - Dressed to Depress.

i found her eerily easy to get into! the first song i heard of hers was army of me which an ex of mine used to always sing (he was constantly singing random stuff!) and from then on i couldn't get enough! you do have to be in the right mood for her though.
i love the album with no musical instruments on it it's really out there it's called medulla. it's just totally vocal

i bought that album! seems a bit.. thin. needs more Andrew Bird & Neko Case. still good, but not 100% perfect

i'm listening to Augie March- Sunset Studios. its coming off my co-worker's computer. she's seeing the band tonight, i'm supposed to review the band tonight, the band just got huge, and the guy i work for now are doing promotions with the band... so i figure i should actully listen to more then one single

I love everything I have heard by her. Her former band The Sugarcubes are also good. I haven't heard Drawing Restraint 9 which really is a mistake since it's got Will Oldham on it.
She has a song in Danish called Nu Flyver Anton(Now Flies Anton) and it is quite cute

Burzum - Daudi Baldrs

I only really like Hlidskjalf and Daudi Baldrs, Filosofem and earlier stuff doesn't really appeal to me.
The repetitive banging away on his guitar is a bit dull. The screams are fine and all but it gets a bit longwinded.

As usual, I'm listening to my favorite japanese female artist, Shiina Ringo.

This is the one of the songs played with her new band, Tokyo Jihen- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7O-IDGXRgE (Himitsu for DJ). It has a jazzy feel to it, accompanied by a really horrible rap interlude in the middle of the song.

Magma - Malawelekaahm

I've heard that this album is also considered a Christian Vander solo album, but it had most of the Magma crew from that period. The album, Wurdah Itah, is the soundtrack to a movie called Tristan et Iseult...if only this were the soundtrack to the more recent version that was made... Anyway, Magma is the founding band of a genre known as Zeuhl, which is a pretty idiosyncratic subgenre of prog-rock, and includes some Magma spinoff bands as well as more recent bands such as Ruins and The Flying Luttenbachers. Of course, the more recent bands have a much more stripped down timbral pallette and are much more concerned with overall violence/wackiness, whereas the original sound is much more heavily orchestrated. Trademarks of the genre include minimalist-derived developmental repetition, compound time signatures, a strong jazz influence (sometimes bordering on free jazz), a strong operatic classical influence (less present in instrumental examples of the genre) and a strong emphasis on bass/drum interplay, sometimes utilizing two bassists.
