Rush by miles and miles and miles ... easily ... and I can't even listen to it once the singing starts! Much the same as Hellboy, I'd go see a Rush perform where even if in their prime, Kiss couldn't pay me to be there.

Not entirely true ... I still think the original Rev track from Underworld is the shit. I enjoyed "V" for the most part and the "C" EP is quality for sure ... but the remixes, covers and remaining releases do nothing for me.

I thought it was ok. It doesn't really build my hype for me about the album, but was enjoyable. Sounds like the album will be more like Conditions Of My Parole than V. It's only 1 track and I've only been through it twice but I get the same feeling ... I'll spin it again a couple times to confirm a...

Great review, Pete. Very well said. I couldn't agree more with pretty much everything you wrote. The middle section with Counterfeit Sky is also my favorite. I definitely heard the QOTSA resemblance after a couple listens. Not just because of Van Leeuwen on some of the reworked tracks, but specific...

Having listened to this closely up-teen times over the last couple weeks, it's only gotten better ... A bit formulaic in parts, but everything is so well done. The textures and layering of acoustic/electric/electronics are flawless. There are also several sneaky, heavily driven bass lines hidden thr...

Well I went on what seems to have become my bi-annual band camp binge and came away with records from Locrian, Metz, Retox and Harvey Milk, among some others ... Covered about a quarter of my 'Want List' ... still too many records to listen to: Wind hand, Forn, etc., etc.

just come to Atl.

it'll require eons of advancement from COMP to achieve a level near listenable ... just sayin'

I have a very hard time understanding why you're not running a VPN in this day and age I have on, I just choose not to turn it on for the most part. Not to mention configure it to point to whatever country I want to pretend I'm actually in a the time. The real point is that bands like Suns of the T...

Can't Wait ... may even get Blender out of the house for this

Sounds like you just described nirvana ... And they were also horrible, no?

After giving this record a few more listens, I've concluded that it's the best album I have heard this year. I give it a solid 9, just below Fantastic Planet. I agree with all of this A "reunion" album that sounds like they'd never gone away so much as they were before their time by a lon...

thats pretty damn bold, considering that's about how I'd score fantastic planet as one of my all-time faves

Where are your lists people?!?!? Where??? some of my favorite songs that immediately come to mind include: Psalm 69 - Ministry Heliotropic - Failure Third Eye/The Grudge - Tool 3 Days (and the whole B-side of that record) - Jane's Addiction One Hundred Days - Mark Lanegan Bleed - Meshuggah Song for...

That was a great listen. Thanks!

yeah man, between this and new Locrian track the other day, UKZwE is on FIRE!

as for Ken Mode, the Albini aesthetic is all over this mutha ... the bits I listened to were decent.

Many of you here have anger issues and should seek therapy or take more sedatives [BBvideo 560,340]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1beMe5Fo7jI[/BBvideo] Holy shit, dude ... thanx for that ...

I don't want Lateralus 2. Yeah, I don't either. I'd prefer Tool to make a Conditions Of My Parole 2 over a Lateralus 2. I'd prefer to never, ever even hear COMP mentioned or played ever again ... ranks waaaaayyyy up there with that last shithouse NIN record. Both of which I listened too for the fir...

Fixed that for ya Liz ... you're welcome

Sometimes the truth hurts

but staying on topic, I'm looking forward to there new record ... personally, apart from FNM, there's probably not another band I'd have preferred to see reunite

Pretty bummed I'll just miss them ... I fly back to Oz from B-lo the day before they hit Syracuse, granted I'll have pretty solid schedule while back and would be unlikely to make it to a gig anyhow ... On the bright side, they intend to hit Oz soon, so unless I move to Adelaide in the next six mont...

Um, yeah ... I'm kind of sick of the term supergroup, and don't care for half of these guys, but anyhow: Meet Teenage Time Killers: Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, Nick Oliveri, Matt Skiba, Corey Taylor, Jello Biafra, Randy Blythe, Tommy Victor, Lee Ving, Mike “IX” Williams, most members of Corrosion of Conf...

No band is so sacred they can't be covered. The album, for the most part is a bit pedestrian, but there's a few good tunes there. don't mean it seem sacred by any means ... it's just that in my opinion, nirvana didn't write all that much in the way of challenging tunes, so i like the way they sound...
