"Freya" by The Sword

Finally cracked after playing it again tonight on Guitar Hero 2, and decided I had to hear the original. Still deciding if it's worth downloading an album... Opinions/Suggestions anybody?

KharBevNor · « **Reply #1951 on:** 30 Dec 2006, 21:27 »

The Sword smell a bit like an ironic metal cash-in to me, but I haven't heard enough of their music to be sure. That stuff can either be blatantly awesome (3 Inches of Blood) or not (Goblin Cock).

Currently listening to:

Forefather - Ours is the Kingdom

"Our hearts are not in heaven,
Nor eastern desert sands,
With eyes closed to your saviour,
Our fate is in our hands!"

I suspected that as well... Only made worse by the fact that they are compared to Wolfmother on their Wikipedia

Storm Rider · « **Reply #1953 on:** 31 Dec 2006, 01:42 »

The album is alright. It's nothing special, but I enjoy most of it. Freya is clearly the best song, though.

Rachel's - Arterial

Rachel's is pretty interesting. It's refreshing to have a post-rock band with sub-ten minute songs.

NiMRoD420 · « **Reply #1955 on:** 31 Dec 2006, 03:11 »

3 Inches Of Blood is indeed blatantly awesome. Enemies of metal... your death is our reward!! Triumphant victory as you bring our steel to life!

"Biomusicology" - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

As my sister puts it, "strummy-strummy la-la" at it's finest.

It is a close race with summerteeth but i think it depends on your mood.

Sol Invictus - Lex Talionis - Lex Talionis.

I downloaded this because you repeatedly made worshipful reference to them, Khar. All I can say is: thank you so goddamned much for letting me know about this band, and about neofolk as a whole.

Next stops on the download express: Jonah's Ark and Folkemon by Skyclad.

Envy - "Your Shoes and the World To Come"

It's not very often that you can use the word 'pretty' to accurately describe a hardcore-type song. This would be one of those times.

Kyros · « **Reply #1962 on:** 31 Dec 2006, 21:57 »

Cleo - Built to Spill

There's Nothing Wrong With Love will forever be my favorite Built to Spill album. I can listen to this all day.

"Grandad" by my friend, who goes by "Infected Ear". Cracks me up. And is rather catchy.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #1968 on:** 01 Jan 2007, 02:57 »

Gordian Knot - Muttersprache

I know I've been talking about this band a lot but man. This is everything prog rock should be. Technical prowess, freeform song structure, multilayered sound, varied influences... it's just really really good. If I can ever learn to play guitar as well as Steve Hackett and Jason Gobel do on this song, I will be a happy man.

The Goslings-Overnight
-Their essentially a shoegazeing band who play through a drone-metal type amp setup. Makes a good way to annoy everyone in the house if you want something a bit more uplifting than a dirge of death.

Yeah, sometimes I get things right

Might have another neo-folk thread in a bit, seems we have more listeners and I know my tastes have got more broad.

Slint - Washer

Probably one of the songs that invented the epic song structure of modern post-rock. This song is amazing.

Ulver - Soelen Gaaer Bag Aase Ned (The Sun Goes Down Betwixt The Hills)

Damn Garm has an amazing voice.

Bergtatt is an absolutely amazing album, everything on it just works. The Riffing the drumming, the production, it's all just there and it works, I don't know how to describe it, don't think I can. Hugely reccomended.

Man, the dynamics!

Spiderland Conspiracy or not, the album (and the dynamics, lol) are great.

Tweez is really really good also. I've been hooked on it for the last few days. Completely different album though, with a unique style and flavor.

Finntroll - Aldhissla

It's almost blasphemy to listen to this without a beer in my hand, if ever there was a band made for drinking too it's Finntroll.

I'm kind of on a Tim Kinsella kick right now. I really need to actually buy some of these albums.

Sero.Overdose - Du

Fantastic cover this. Also I'm glad it's 2007 now so I can feel like less of a filthy pirate for listening to albums tagged as being released this year

Medications - Occupied

This album (Your Favorite People All In One Place) is really meh. Which kind of pisses me off, because the free tracks they have on their website are pretty good, but not indicative of the full album. The last few songs are pretty good though.

Tomorrow I am going to a couple of record stores, so I will report the music I purchase and what I'm listening to.

McLusky - Lightsabre Cocksuckin' Blues

Judging from the time you posted that, I was listening to the exact same song at the exact same moment, Kai.

Now I'm on to Day Of The Deadringers though.

I implore you to listen to Surprise! a few more times. The song has a really cool guitar riff that has grown on me, as well as spooky vocals.

greenMonkey · « **Reply #1991 on:** 02 Jan 2007, 09:05 »

Well, Surprise! is pretty good, and I like Twine Time, and Occupied, but the rest of the album doesn't really grab me as much as The View From This Tower.

More Sage Francis, this time "Mourning Aftermath" from the Makeshift Patriot EP...

"make love to the present, fuck the past."

Seems like it could be a pretty decent mantra to live by

"GET OFF MY SCROUT" - Tony Danza Strapon Extravaganza (my friend's band)

Take some sped-up acoustic guitar loops with an electric riff looped as the main riff and put some sick funk drumminz on there and you have a winner.
