Becoming The Archetype  - Terminate Damnation

That's a great record! their best IMO.
Elegy is one of the best metal epics ever written, with the piano part in the middle it just makes it perfect!

ontopic:

múm - Finally We Are No One (about 3 times in a row)

Hey Rudger... Hope you are doing fine!

Exactly...

The piano part is just awesome and so is the end of the song.
I enjoy this album a lot, too.

As well I enjoy the guitar solos a lot, too.
I hear Kirk Hammett, Dimebag Darrell and even Dave Mustaine here and there.

But I rather awaited you in the What Are You Listening To Right NOW?-thread to quote me, since one of my latest posts there was Caspian's Crawlspace...

I still didn't listen to Finally We Are No One, but it is on my list and as well that you recommended it to me.
There were too many great albums in the last months for me
I discovered Chroma Key and listened a lot to BC&SL and The Whirlwind, too.

Do you know Jónsi & Alex's The Riceboy Sleeps?
It's smoother than Sigur Rós-stuff and I enjoy it nearly as much as the SR-songs...

Dennis

Becoming the Archetype peeked at their debut album, the following albums didn't had the unique sound that they had created on Terminate Damnation. Even with Devin Townsend as producer (he can create a sound that makes the shitiest song awesome!)

Too be honest I didn't hear any Caspian yet... but when I hear it I WILL quote you in the what are you listening now thread

Finally We are No One is one of my favorite albums (i recently put it in my top 10 list!) it's probably their easiest album to get in to because this one has more songstructure (the general sound of múm is more 'electronic/dreamscapes', someone discribed it as techno lullabies or childsongs for adults, mainly cause of the ubercute voices of the Valtýsdóttir twins.)
If you like it, be sure you also check their first album 'Yesterday was Dramatic, Today is OK'.

I heard Riceboy Sleeps couple times it was different from what i expected (Jonsí barely sings, or atleast his voice is really waved into the dreamscapes) but i thought it was beautiful. Not for a daily basis though (and I could listen to SR all the time!), reminds me a litte of the first SR album 'Von'.

Time to listen to some Caspian (oh btw, my name is with a T, not a D)

That's ok
But as I just saw a few minutes ago you managed to listen to Caspian in the meantime

Thanks for the infos, man...
My flatmate owns Finally We Are No One. So I'll try to listen to it at the least five times and will let you know how I like it then.

Would you rank it over Agaetis Byrjun?

Yeah... I definitely agree. It's an album for- well... "special" moments. It's a record I'd listen to in situations I listen to classic for normal. When I want to really relax or to come down or so...

Time to listen to some Caspian

check

Oh sorry...
So you can call me Tennis, if you want to

Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue

You are the second person I see here (beside Pinche) who knows this album.

It's one of my favorite album of all times. No doubt about it.
How much points would you give it on a scale from 1 to 15 (15 max.)?
And what are your three favorite track off of the album?
Mine are:
Moonshine
Thoughts Of You
Farewell My Friend

But that's really, really only, if I am forced to name three.
Love the whole record.
Brilliant... Just brilliant...

Do you know Bamboo, too?

Lessee...

Devin Townsend Project - Addicted (multiple times)
-- Just got it yesterday, brought it to work and kept starting it up again when it stopped. Fun album.
Swans - World of Skin
-- This album has taken a really long time to sink in, but I think it finally has. Punishingly slow but beautifully dark music.
Tool - Ænima
-- Hey, it's Tool. 10,000 Days is still my favorite of theirs though.
Secrets of the Moon - Privilegivm
-- I saw these guys live a while back without having heard of them before; they were completely kickass. The sound kinda like Celtic Frost and Behemoth with more of a black metal feel.
Pyramids - Pyramids
--- Eh... weird sort of mettally-drone experimental stuff. The cover is cool anyway.
Hybrid - The 8th Plague
-- Quality technical death metal/metalcore/something. I really like this one. One of the tracks made an appearance on Top Gear a couple times!

Secret Chiefs 3 Second Grand Constitution and Bylaws: Hurqalya

Speaking of SC3, i found this on last.fm:

Holy Vehm is one of the seven Secret Chiefs 3 subbands, displaying full-on death metal insanity. Work has begun on a full length album, but there is no word on a release date. To date, the only Holy Vehm tracks are on the 2004 SC3 full-length, Book of Horizons.

  http://www.last.fm/music/Holy+Vehm

how cool is that!? (this also probably means that the release of Book of Souls will be delayed for another few years... but hey, that Trey right? ;)

Yeah, that's been in the works for a while now.. those Vehm songs on BoH are fucking INSANE, and I reckon it's going to take Trey a long time to get it done, as usual, but it'll be so worth it...

Lets see...
