--- Quote from: Merkava ---I think that Trail of Dead refer to the album as their way of getting across their message to the most people possible. That message? Bland music sucks. How are they getting it across? Making bland music.
It's actually brilliant in a way.
Source Tags and Codes is teh sex, as well as everything else they've done before. It's on my top albums list.
--- End quote ---
Even the EP they put out between Source Tags and Worlds Apart was really good. But Worlds Apart was just....uninspired. There were some good songs on there, to be sure, but what was gained in production quality was lost in musical quality. Another reason I hate the shit out of producers.
KharBevNor:
I never got DFA1979. People keep telling me they are a) heavy and b) sexy. Both of these are such stupendously blatant untruths, Okay, I can see why they might seem 'face-crushingly heavy' if you'd never heard Electric Wizard, or seen Crowbar or Overlord* live, but I really, really, really do not get the sexy part.
I definitely agree with the 'all their songs sound the same' bit though.
*Both guitarists drop tune till they essentially play six string basses. I've seen 'em three times and never heard a single note. Brilliance.
Kid Amnesiac:
^ Whoever told you that doesn't know what heavy is, or they're heavy for the music they get categorized with. Either way they're not incredible musicians or anything, but they make some catchy noise.
