WTH are you listening to/share your music... Perfect Vision (2020) edition - Page 5

HerRealName · 11-26-2022, 09:39 PM

I really like the new Afghan Whigs album. I put off listening to it for months because I had such low expectations but it's been a very pleasant surprise. Domino and Jimmy is my favorite song but The Getaway could be on any given day.

I also like the new Titus Andronicus record but no surprise there for me.

I don't think I've bought any other new albums this year, as sad as that is.

Ksyrup · 11-28-2022, 11:18 AM

Well, Metallica dropped a bunch of surprise news today. A new song off a new album being released next April and a 2 year tour schedule. Haven't heard the song because I'm at work.

Ksyrup · 12-23-2022, 06:19 PM

The annual Sleigher song came out yesterday!

Ksyrup · 01-10-2023, 03:40 PM

Do we need a fresh Music thread, or should we change the title of this one to 2020s and keep it going until 2030?

Anyway, haven't posted any new music in some time and I've bought a ton of stuff, but one album has really stood out to me.

You know how some albums just hit every single musical, stylistic, mood/atmosphere, lyrical, and emotional point that you love about music? Well, the new album from German prog metal band Disillusion is that album for me. This is probably the most impactful album I've heard since Amigo the Devil's Everything is Fine back in 2019.

What makes it so great is that it's in the melo-death genre that I love, but it takes it to another level. This is probably the best progressive melodic death metal album I've heard since Opeth stopped being Opeth (and decided to be a 70s prog rock band). And the crazy thing is, it's not all that heavy. At all. Most of the songs are quiet with a few moments of crescendo - there are two 11-12 minute epics that go back and forth between heavy and light, and one crushingly heavy song, but the rest are chill. And even the heavy stuff isn't really the classic death metal sound you'd expect.

The music is sophisticated and complex, but not in the Dream Theater way - they don't go off noodling for no reason. The instrumentation on this album really sets it apart - a ton of orchestration with cello, trumpet, flugelhorn, keys, even triangle! It truly pushes the boundaries of prog rock/metal. There's are lyrical themes that bind the album together, but I wouldn't exactly call it a concept album. The songs are great, the melodic lines are catchy and memorable, and the heavy stuff gets the juices flowing. It's got it all...

There are definite nods to Opeth, Katatonia, Porcupine Tree, Riverside, and similar bands, but they have a unique sound, especially vocally. The clean vocals are terrific, but the harsh vocals are not your typical death growls but more harsh spoken word that fit the music perfectly. And the way they weave it all together is just stunning.

This is a band that's been around for nearly 30 years with one constant member, and they've only released 4 full albums. But nearly 3 decades in, they've managed to create a masterpiece that has mad a ton of top 10 lists for 2022 (it was released in November).

These two songs give you a good taste of the sound. The first is the shortest and heaviest song, and the next (which follows on the album as well) is a good representation of the acoustic/chill vibe.

Sony has a new Walkman. That might be a bigger deal than you realize | ZDNET

This is my rationale, nostalgia

Quote:

Even the oldest Millennials were a tad too young to enjoy the first versions of Sony's Walkman, while older Gen Zs feel nostalgic for iPod Shuffles and Nanos. And research suggests that although older adults embrace technology, they use it at a different frequency than younger people.

Of those who actually feel nostalgic for owning a Walkman again, how many are interested in buying a digitized version of a music player that they remember using a cassette tape to listen to?

But maybe that's not the only audience for devices like this. There's a surprising amount of Walkman nostalgia out there in modern movies and TV shows like Stranger Things and Guardians of the Galaxy to mention just a couple. The portrayal of the Walkman in film and TV showcases how euphoric and all-consuming it is to listen to your favorite song through a Walkman.

Edward64 · 01-12-2023, 08:13 PM

FWIW, the Guardians of the Galaxy "cassette" version is what I remember. I didn't pay attention to the Discman.

I don't own it but had a chance to handle the N105 mp3 and it was really small. Battery life for that isn't great though.

Fidatelo · 01-13-2023, 08:37 AM

I had Walkman and Discman clones (Panasonic I believe). They were great, but I'm not sure I understand why I would want to carry a second device with me when my phone plays music just fine.

No real good reason other than nostalgia and/or wanting a really light player in the gym or running.

Also, I've always hated the iTunes (or whatever its called now) interface. I need to check out some mp3 apps that has a more intuitive interface.

JonInMiddleGA · 01-20-2023, 01:51 AM

Yeah, the new album from Hardy -- The Mockingbird & The Crow -- is kinda what you might suspect.

It's well written, with a mixture of rock fueled tunes that openly mock today's modern country ... and about half of album that's basically the stuff he often mocks.

The previously released title track explored the duality of his career and his talents, this album basically illustrates what he's talking about all in one place.

If you're familiar with who he is and what he does, specifically _how_ he does what he does, this should be pretty satisfying. If you're an absolute casual that only knows 1 or 2 songs from either of the genres he dabbles in, you're probably going to be kinda confused.

The title track, btw, got a brand new claymation video treatment to mark the album release.

I was playing a random 90s alternative playlist and Smash Mouth's "All Star" came on.

I think we can all agree this is an objectively shitty song. But I could literally sing every word.

It got me wondering, what is the worst song you can think of where you know every word. I couldn't think of a worse song for me, but I'm sure there are. The closest analog I could come up with is Halo by Sugar Ray, but theyre basically the exact same thing.

When We Were Young – October 21, 2023 – Las Vegas Festival Grounds

Wife was able to get 4 VIP tickets through work for us and another couple. 4 days in Vegas highlighted by this show, Stadium Swim at circa for NFL football the next day, good dinners, some table games, maybe a massage or show. So freaking excited. I get my room comped and we use miles so it will cost next to nothing.

So many bands I'm excited about

Green Day
Blink 182
Bowling for soup
The Offspring
Rise against
Good Charlotte
Sum 141
Yellowcard
New Found Glory
Less Than Jake
The Ataris
A Simple Plan

It is going to be glorious.

Ksyrup · 02-04-2023, 06:26 PM

My cousin, her husband, his dad and several of their friends went (or tried to go) to that last year. Wife and I just happened to be in Vegas (coming back from Zion) so we met up with them. Apparently you could only buy tickets to one of the two days, they got Saturday, and it just happened that the show got cancelled because of high winds. So the whole group of them flew from Detroit for the weekend and couldn't even go on Sunday because they had to choose one day and they picked wrong.

The winds were insane, too. 55-65. We flew out in it that night and it was really uncomfortable for about 2-3 hours of the flight back to Cincinnati. I guess the good news was that we got to hang out with them for most of the day.

Ksyrup · 02-21-2023, 06:03 PM

Man, I was surprised and stoked to see that Amigo the Devil is opening for Clutch and will be in Cincinnati in April. I am THERE - and dragging my wife along. Can't wait!

Also, Ticketmaster can suck it. Two $35 tickets, total cost was $104 and change. Ridiculous.

New singles today from Metallica and Extreme and suddenly it feels like 1990 again.

Ksyrup · 03-31-2023, 07:19 PM

So much great music has already come out in 2023. Trying hard to keep up with it!

Just today, releases from Sermon, Ongoing Concept and City and Colour.

Sermon is one of those perfect genre blends for me - goth-y progressive metal in the vein of Katatonia/Tool, amazing production and mysterious/anonymous band members. This hits so hard.

Ongoing Concept - this one was a surprise. I really enjoyed one of this band's albums about 8 or so years ago but lost track of them. Definitely an acquired taste, like a mixture of a hardcore/screamo band with Jamiroquai. Based on this song, I think they've taken their original sound and greatly improved on it.

City and Colour - something a bit different for the non-metal crowd, although this guy (Dallas Green, no not the former Phillies manager) is from the Canadian hardcore band Alexisonfire. This album is mostly about his journey to accepting the death of a good friend right before Covid hit.

Ksyrup · 03-31-2023, 09:18 PM

Also I forgot to mention...

Anyone ever heard of Ren? I ran across a video of his, and I'm not surprised I'd never heard of him because he's a rapper in addition to singer/songwriter/poet, but anyway, his video Hi Ren is absolutely astounding. It deals with mental illness. It's simply unbelievable.

I haven't heard something like that before, which I always appreciate.

I haven't been to a show in a few months, but went to see Weedeater on Wednesday night (Danny Glover: "I'm too old for this shit") & that was fun.

Never heard that name in my life.

An old HS friend reached out to me out of the blue yesterday about King's X playing in Atlanta on July 16th, so we're gonna make a day of it - I'll fly in that morning, check out the old "hometown" (for HS anyway) that morning, go to the Braves/White Sox game that afternoon, and see KX that night.

I missed seeing KX in KY and TN last fall for shows that were rescheduled 4 or 5 times (and I had tickets for) because we were out of town. And considering the age and health status of all 3 guys, I am going to try to see them whenever I can.

Apparently Coachella is being streamed on YouTube. Which is cool, but it prompted me to check out the lineup. I went through it with my 19 year old daughter and she didn't know a whole heck of a lot of them, but she did know a fair amount. I knew... Blondie, the Breeders, and Gorillaz. And I have no idea why Blondie or the Breeders would be part of that shit sandwich of a festival.

I told my daughter if someone showed up at my doorstep and offered a private jet, $1000 a night hotel and a limo to Coachella for free, I'd decline before they finished with the offer.

Yeah, that's pretty much "just kill me here instead" caliber shitshow.

I'd probably survive most of a Yungbld set, might make it through Blondie, otherwise there's something like 120 acts and 118 I'd sooner be beaten to death than forced to endure

I'd been saying I heard another song in it since it came out, but I couldn't quite place it until I heard about the suit. Definitely hear Let's Get It On in the song.

I also hear another song in the Miley Cyrus Flowers song... and it's not the Bruno Mars song that she borrows the lyrics from. Also can't place it.

Ksyrup · 05-05-2023, 08:12 AM

I LOLd this morning when I saw that Ben Crump was representing (in some fashion) whoever was suing Ed Sheeran. I'm used to seeing him any time there's a white-on-black police brutality case, but I didn't realize he had branched out into alleged music appropriation.

Still blows my mind that I shared law school classes with him and Shannon Bream, plus a nutcase who tried to hired a hitman to kill a law school secretary (and her own husband).

I enjoyed A7X for about a millisecond - I thought City of Evil was pretty good. Nothing they did before really caught my attention, and the album after City of Evil convinced me to just ignore them from that point forward. For that one album, they briefly caught lightning in a bottle with an interesting melding of modern metal with an 80s influence, but that was about it for me.

Apparently you could only buy tickets to one of the two days, they got Saturday, and it just happened that the show got cancelled because of high winds. So the whole group of them flew from Detroit for the weekend and couldn't even go on Sunday because they had to choose one day and they picked wrong. The winds were insane, too. 55-65. We flew out in it that night and it was really uncomfortable for about 2-3 hours of the flight back to Cincinnati. I guess the good news was that we got to hang out with them for most of the day. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything.

I am THERE - and dragging my wife along. Can't wait! Also, Ticketmaster can suck it. Two $35 tickets, total cost was $104 and change. Ridiculous. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything. I've talked pitching with Sandy Koufax, had Kenny G play for me.

Just today, releases from Sermon, Ongoing Concept and City and Colour. Sermon is one of those perfect genre blends for me - goth-y progressive metal in the vein of Katatonia/Tool, amazing production and mysterious/anonymous band members. This hits so hard. Ongoing Concept - this one was a surprise. I really enjoyed one of this band's albums about 8 or so years ago but lost track of them. Definitely an acquired taste, like a mixture of a hardcore/screamo band with Jamiroquai. Based on this song, I think they've taken their original sound and greatly improved on it. City and Colour - something a bit different for the non-metal crowd, although this guy (Dallas Green, no not the former Phillies manager) is from the Canadian hardcore band Alexisonfire. This album is mostly about his journey to accepting the death of a good friend right before Covid hit. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything.

I ran across a video of his, and I'm not surprised I'd never heard of him because he's a rapper in addition to singer/songwriter/poet, but anyway, his video Hi Ren is absolutely astounding. It deals with mental illness. It's simply unbelievable. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything.

An old HS friend reached out to me out of the blue yesterday about King's X playing in Atlanta on July 16th, so we're gonna make a day of it - I'll fly in that morning, check out the old "hometown" (for HS anyway) that morning, go to the Braves/White Sox game that afternoon, and see KX that night. I missed seeing KX in KY and TN last fall for shows that were rescheduled 4 or 5 times (and I had tickets for) because we were out of town. And considering the age and health status of all 3 guys, I am going to try to see them whenever I can. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything.

Which is cool, but it prompted me to check out the lineup. I went through it with my 19 year old daughter and she didn't know a whole heck of a lot of them, but she did know a fair amount. I knew... Blondie, the Breeders, and Gorillaz. And I have no idea why Blondie or the Breeders would be part of that shit sandwich of a festival. I told my daughter if someone showed up at my doorstep and offered a private jet, $1000 a night hotel and a limo to Coachella for free, I'd decline before they finished with the offer. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything.

A friend knows the GM so we will be on a riser right next to the stage. Ridiculously excited for this show. Awesome double billing

Ghost Econ College Prospect Join Date: Oct 2020	I'd been saying I heard another song in it since it came out, but I couldn't quite place it until I heard about the suit. Definitely hear Let's Get It On in the song. I also hear another song in the Miley Cyrus Flowers song... and it's not the Bruno Mars song that she borrows the lyrics from. Also can't place it.

Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: In Absentia	I LOLd this morning when I saw that Ben Crump was representing (in some fashion) whoever was suing Ed Sheeran. I'm used to seeing him any time there's a white-on-black police brutality case, but I didn't realize he had branched out into alleged music appropriation. Still blows my mind that I shared law school classes with him and Shannon Bream, plus a nutcase who tried to hired a hitman to kill a law school secretary (and her own husband). __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything.

Ghost Econ College Prospect Join Date: Oct 2020	Because I'm bored: What 3 singers are the only singers with multiple Billboard Year-End #1 songs? There are 2 groups whose children had a Year-End #1, what are all the acts in this question? This group never had a Billboard Year-End #1, but their sibling did? {I make no guarantee these are 100% correct}

This is not only Metallica/Lou Reed level of bad, it's Scorpions Eye II Eye bad ... but with worse vocals and less coherent thought __________________ "I lit another cigarette.

Nothing they did before really caught my attention, and the album after City of Evil convinced me to just ignore them from that point forward. For that one album, they briefly caught lightning in a bottle with an interesting melding of modern metal with an 80s influence, but that was about it for me. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything.
