NEVER GETS OLD. AS PER ITS NAME, THIS ALBUM PRETTY MUCH CREATED HARDCORE. http://youtu.be/Mzf1C6OazC4 * The Dear Hunter - Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading [ROCK] EVERY BAND MEMBER IS A FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC MUSICIAN, BUT NOTHING THEY PLAY IS MASTURBATORY; IT ALL SOUNDS GREAT. LYRICS ARE STRAIGHT UP POETRY. http://youtu.be/jhFEzuODEYs * Nirvana - Nevermind NO FUCKING EXPLANATION NEEDED. * Brand New - Deja Entendu [ROCK, VAGUELY EMO] CATCHY AS FUCK.

Date: April 24th, 2012 3:52 PM Author: Cruel-hearted karate faggotry haven't listened much - was in a metal phase when it came out. i remember thinking it was a pretty big departure from their old stuff. gonna listen to it again nao, don't think i've listened in like five years. what'd you think?

Date: April 24th, 2012 3:57 PM Author: tan coldplay fan trailer park It and Deja are the only Br& Nizzle albums I've ever listened to with any degree of regularity. I'm a fan of both, but I much prefer Devil and God. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1931966&forum_id=2#20537372) |
|
Date: April 24th, 2012 3:58 PM Author: Cruel-hearted karate faggotry i remember JC being great.
yeah their old stuff is a lot... rougher. they sound like kids on Your Favorite Weapon. (probably were.) Deja was definitely a bigger change in style than Devil & God, now that i think of it. there was just so much TIME between Deja and Devil & God. |

Date: April 24th, 2012 11:16 PM Author: excitant cream set Friend, with the exception of the Dresden Dolls, this is an excellent list. I can't stand cabaret punk. Anyway, I'd never heard of Cloud Nothings, but I'm on "Fall In" and I can safely say this is a 170+ album. Steve Albini FTW once again. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1931966&forum_id=2#20541166) |
|
Date: April 24th, 2012 11:18 PM Author: Cruel-hearted karate faggotry ty friend! it's a solid album through & through - 'fall in' is actually my least favorite track i think!
i read in an interview that albini didn't really do much (was just like "y'all go in there and let it do what it do") and that the band is kind of annoyed that people keep giving him credit for the album's sound, haha. but tcr that steve albini's name correlates with awesome once again. :)))) |
