This band kicks ass, and all of their music is free!

The singer's just not up there, which can kill bands like these. (example: listen to the intro of Waiting...sounds better and better

..until the singer gets in

)
Sometimes he sounds quite good though

Could just be bad recording x_X

edit: Nope; can't be the recording or mixing or anything listening to more songs not only do I realise production is actually done pretty damn well, I still stand by my opinion on this band ;p (read below also tbh)

Riffs are generally cliché, but soloes are good

A lot of other bands are all over this though. And though I wouldn't care for one moment that this kind of music hasn't been a trend for nearly 20 years, it has to be perfectly executed in order to still impress imo.

Would be a nice band to just go to and see live, but nah.

I also don't like the lack of depth in the basslines ;x (wtf @ partaker of evil).
A lot of bands in that genre do it, so how come bands like Megadeth can make similar music with awesome and complex basslines? Hell, even Messiah's Kiss has some decent ones

Not to only be negative though, I like the accelerations (though they tend to get stuck in them for too long ;p then build it off again slowly in some epic-breakdown etc., gets tedious

) and the guitar soloes are definitely good

ps: I also still don't like it when bass players play with plectrums in this kind of genre..but that's my personal opinion

looking at the topic title I was expecting this thread to be one of those off-topic cursing ex-team mate / friend threads $\o/$

link broken btw?

I thought this was going to be a bitchy thread

It won't work for me either for some reason. I have also found this
http://www.pandora.com/

It's like the music search engines that suggest bands you might like, only difference is it actually plays the songs ! My first free 10 hours is nearly up

So far most the stuff it's played I have liked though

Cool, I'll check it out. 10 hours free isn't bad.

it's a little to, um, "not good", for my tastes.

hope you had a fun night Messy and used your good judgement adscititous of your parents teaching.

haha. good one.

Messy · Post by **Messy** » 24-06-2006 12:42

Oh, what is good judgement?

If we judge my good judgement by the excess amount of tequilla I drank..one could say I didn't do very well ;o

If we judge teleologically, and we see that everything went well - I even managed to have a decent conversation with Bunny! - ..it's all good

BunnyS · Post by **BunnyS** » 24-06-2006 13:18

Yeah, you didn't seem too bad at all

snackbar · Post by **snackbar** » 24-06-2006 18:33

You forgot to use a word of the day!

Now it's just turning into a smorgasbord of random messages! :p
