My Top 25 Albums Of All Time

<< < (13/37) > >>

Robbo:
There are two Neptune Tower's ablums...other with the same sort of space theme. If you want to sample, I think there's short clips on the label's page (Candlelight IIRC) but can be found on P2P if you want to list first.

I reviewed Transilvanian Hunger, made me feel so fucking tripped out at the end of it, it was great.

To me, Cave In certainly where Hardcore, though you'r right, they did use a lot of Thrash like riffs, certainl on the first album, they're very like Regin In Blood. Defatinly NOT Metalcore though, because they dont suck.

A term some Hardcore fans use is Metallic Hardcore. Eg, Hardcore with a Metal edge, but not a Core/Metal blend that is Metalcore. If that makes sense. Or if you care, if not, sorry.

But yes, Punk Rock/Hardcore Punk was what crossed with Heavy Metal to make Thrash. Bringing the faster, more aggresive style, but keeping the more complex parts of Metal playing.

Yeah, the mellow out wasn't a good thing, but I know a few of their old school fans that have seen them live in recent year. All the NME fans had the shit scared out of them when two dozen hardcore kicks tour the venue apart when they played all their old stuff.

Kai:
Your mention of Captain Beefheart brings tears of joy to my eyes.


And to whoever was asking about King Crimson, I have their debut, Islands, and I swiped from a friend of mine both the single Happy with What You Have to Be Happy With and The Power to Believe and thought they were lackluster. Islands is really good though.

The new material isn't too great IMO, but from essentially a completely different band other than Fripp.  They shouldn't even be King Crimson by name anymore, not since Red/USA.

Larks Tongues In Aspic is a safe bet for your next purchase, mainly instrumental but rather edgy and cool and also marking the start of their most famous and respected era (Larks/Starless/Red).

Johnny C:

--- Quote from: KharBevNor, in reference to WEEZER, ---Ah, I actually was. I don't loathe them. Not sure I've even ever heard them actually.

Gotta say though, they look like geek rock, and as a rule I don't like geek rock.
--- End quote ---

1) You've never heard Weezer. That's, uh... how old are you again?

2) Well, they're geek rock, but their older stuff (Blue Album, Pinkerton) is geek rock before geek rock was stupid.
