    Dez 17 2009, 12h43 por hclairvoyant

    I have looked all over last.fm journals for a decent list that displays like 25 of people's favourite songs, but have had no luck. Since "Most Played Tracks" doesn't do the trick, I guess I will make such a list myself and hope the trend catches on ^^. It would be the greatest way to get a more personal list of recommendations, imo =P

  • Lifetime of albums

    Dez 2 2009, 1h54 por NH3Maser

    What I consider to be the best album released each year, starting from 1987 (my birth year). I forgot where I got this idea from.

    1987: Scream Bloody Gore by Death
    1988: Leprosy by Death
    1989: Doolittle by Pixies
    1990: Rust in Peace by Megadeth
    1991: Human by Death
    1992: The IVth Crusade by Bolt Thrower
    1993: Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan
    1994: Transilvanian Hunger by Darkthrone
    1995: Symbolic by Death
    1996: Sublime by Sublime
    1997: Something Wild by Children of Bodom
    1998: The Sound of Perseverance by Death
    1999: Bloody Blasphemy by God Dethroned
    2000: Elvenfris by Lykathea Aflame
    2001: Ensiferum by Ensiferum
    2002: They Will Return by Kalmah
    2003: Revolutionary Vol. 2 by Immortal Technique
    2004: Wintersun by Wintersun
    2005: Řád a trest by !T.O.O.H.!
    2006: Leading Vision by Gorod
    2007: Colors by Between the Buried and Me
    2008: In Hatred's Flame by Exmortus
    2009: ...A Splendid Chaos by Coram Lethe

    So what does this say about my taste in music? My favorite artist Death got top billing for four of their six releases, which is no real surprise (although they just narrowly edged out Gorguts in '98). Besides the past couple of years, for which my opinions are still solidifying, the hardest choices were in 1993 (the other contenders were Atheist, Death, and Pestilence) and 2004 (which had releases by Deathspell Omega, Disillusion, Ensiferum, The Fiery Furnaces, Mastodon, and Necrophagist. Whew!).

    What was the first song you ever heard by 6?

    Maktens Spira! I heard it on the pre-show of an excellent podcast called Blue Plz! Many thanks to Totalbiscuit for introducing me to this band.


    What is your favorite album by 2?

    Ensiferum


    What is your favorite lyric that 1 has sung?


    And this is then the epic end
    Of the legendary tale
    Of the one who found the light
    And the dragonflame inside
    Of the tragic rain of a thousand flames
    Of the town's defenders who faced (real) pain
    Of symphonies of enchanted lands
    Of whispers of love and hate

    The dawn of victory can breathe in the wind
    And this would mean the great rebirth
    Reborn, the one who's giving his life
    ...the towns lying on the ground
    Be one, (be one!) of us, (of us!)
    And act as all the prophecies want...
    To mountains and valleys, to fire and snow,
    To sun, moon and wisdom rise your soul...
    It's the call!

    Gargoyles, Angels of Darkness

    Hard decision though, Luca writes a lot of great lyrics.


    How many times have you seen 11 live?
    None. Not my top-priority, but would be nice, of course.


    What is your favorite song by 7?
    TocarGothic Vision


    What is a good memory you have involving 20?

    Well, it sort of led me into folk metal - which is awesome.


    Is there a song by 3 that makes you sad?
    Death and the Healing
    One of my favourite songs - it's got a melancholic feel to it, I love it.


    What is your favorite lyric that 14 has sung?

    Hurm. I guess Sea Monsters:

    "You hear stories of monsters in the waters
    Endless counts of horrific manslaughters
    sailors tell tales of beasts in the sea
    but what they don't tell ya, it's that the worst it's in me."

    Can't find any lyrics, so It'll have to do for now. Not too sure about that last line.

    What is your favorite song by 19?

    TocarVodka!
    TocarVodka!
    TocarVodka!


    How did you first get into 22?

    From playing Final Fantasy-games. Nobuo Uematsu makes the score, so I investigated - and found his side-project.


    What was the first song you heard by 21?

    Reign of the Septims


    What is your favorite song by 4?

    King of the Nordic Twilights


    How many time have you seen 10 live?

    Again, none, but I'd very much like to. Well, actually, I'm not too sure about their new singer, I'd have to hear him sing before deciding, I guess.


    What is a good memory you have involving 13?
    TocarThe Bard's Song - In The Forest

    NEED I SAY MORE?


    Is there a song by 23 that makes you sad?
    Never, Ever


    What is your favorite album of 15?
    Battle Metal
    Though, their second one is almost as good.


    What is your favorite lyric that 9 has sung?


    The enemies are in disarray ride them down as they run
    Send them to their violent graves, don't spare anyone
    Dead and wounded lie all around see the pain in their eyes
    Over the field an eerie sound, as we hear the raven's cry

    TocarCry of the Black Birds


    What is your favorite song by 8?
    TocarThe Shadow Of Uther


    What is your favorite song by 16?
    Over the Seas
    I know.


    How many times have you seen 5 live?
    None. :( I'll definitely go if he performs nearby, though.


    What is your favorite album by 12?
    Valley Of The Damned


    What is a good memory you have involving 25?
    Can't really remember any. The Divided Heart is a good song, though.


    What was the first song you heard by 18?
    Inis Mona
    Awesome.


    What is your favorite song by 17?
    ART OF LIFE - actually, I like the live version from 1993 better.

    Really though, I cannot stress enough how absolutely awesome, fantastic and perfect this song is, my all-time favourite song BY FAR.


    What is your favorite album by 24?
    Design Your Universe


    How many of your top 25 have you seen live?
    Kamelot. I've seen Simmone Simmons live at the same concert, so I guess that's almostEpica. :)

    Alright, I'll probably edit this later, as it's horribly written, and it's actually quite late.

  • Essential Albums of the Last Decade - Volume II

    Nov 28 2009, 22h51 por DreadfulYgg

    See Volume I for description.

    Blut aus Nord- The Work Which Transforms God


    The title of this album alone hints that you are about to journey through something not of the ordinary. What we have here is an experimental form of black metal, taking nods from industrial and ambient as well. The dissonance of the guitars is unlike any other band, and aids in the eerie atmosphere the band is attempting. The vocals, also, are distant and threatening. They invite and repel at the same time. This album stands as a template for black metal in this new century.

    Gojira- From Mars to Sirius


    Gojira took on a topic rarely heard of in metal music, an ecological concept that revolves around trying to preserve the sanctity of our planet. And the band delivers this concept through their massive sound of progressive death metal. Riffs are thunderous and the syncopated rhythm with the drums is hypnotic. The songs also range between all out assault to grooving to reflective. Their progressive bent helps Gojira to stand in a niche all their own. Creativity in metal is far from dead.

    Jesu- s/t


    Jesu are one of those bands that will always escape categorization. One can claim to hear elements from many genres, but there's no one style Jesu sticks to. It's a mish-mash to the point of being recognizable and undecipherable simutaneously. So what makes the self-titled so special? For one, this is Jesu at their absolute heaviest. The drone/doom quality of their riffs is in full force here. There's a tremendous amount of weight behind them. Justin's voice is also extremely emotional and raw sounding. He's always had a genuine quality to his voice. The songwriting as well is expansive and covers nearly everything the band is known for all these years. Simply put, if you are to own one Jesu album, this is the one. Although, Silver ain't a bad choice either.

    Enslaved- Ruun


    Enslaved have been evolving throughout their career, and while debatable, their current incarnation is much like the melding of the progressive/psychedelic leanings of Pink Floyd mixed with the band's own brand of black metal. Ruun is the pinnacle of this evolution and not one song is weak. It's a wonderful thing when a band is able to keep consistency throughout the album, and that's exactly what has occurred here on Ruun. While there are many worthy Enslaved albums, Ruun, quite frankly, is their masterpiece.

    Pelican- The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw


    It's not easy to be a instrumental band and stay interesting, especially in the metal scene. Taking cues from post-rock, Pelican have crafted their special mix of very sludge-like and heavy metal. Allowing the guitar work to take lead, it opens up the songwriting and it really shines on this album. The dynamic quality of these songs is staggering, and when they turn on the distortion, it's akin to be smashed down into the ground after being hit with a bag of bricks. In contrast, the beautiful and acoustic moments on the album are that much more breathtaking. A shining example of the potential of post-metal.

    Deathspell Omega- Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice


    Deathspell Omega can easily be considered at the forefront of black metal in the last 5 or so years, and it started with this epic release. Moving forward without abandoning the core of what makes this style so powerful, they've found a way to keep the aggression without losing an ounce of evil or dread. The vocals are some of the best you will hear, and sound inhuman to these ears. The music itself trudges along, either beating you to a pulp or taking it back a notch in order to surround the listener in the near cathedral-like moments that are scattered throughout the album. This is one black metal album that will long be remembered.

    Wolves in the Throne Room- Diadem of 12 Stars


    While the brilliant Two Hunters is equally deserving, Diadem of 12 Stars has one thing going for it that Two Hunters does not, and that's the element of surprise. No one was prepared for this band's unique and epic approach to black metal. The folk influence heard would become a trademark element for the band, and the long duration of their songs (all 10+ minutes), ensured many twists and turns. They've not yet matched the passion this album yields, and it remains the band's best.

    The Ruins of Beverast- Unlock the Shrine


    The Ruins of Beverast is a juggernaut within black metal, and it began on this debut album. The lyrical concepts of war and death come across vividly through the music. What makes this album so special is its unique atmosphere. Much in the way Deathspell work, this album is deadly in its execution. This is a dark and bleak album, but also quite triumphant at times, when one hears horns that are played. While all albums are deserving, this created the landfill that has separated The Ruins of Beverast from others in the genre. It will be a long time before others catch up.

    Therion- Lemuria/Sirius B


    While both are distinct albums, they feel of a piece to me and it doesn't feel right separating them. There's a definite continuation you get hearing them both back to back as well. Here, Therion essentially set the benchmark for operatic and symphonic metal, and do it so convincingly. This is bombastic music but in the best possible way.

    Velvet Cacoon- Genevieve


    A controversial band from the start, even starting out as a band claiming the work of others as their own, many stopped taking Velvet Cacoon seriously. But I'm not sure many were prepared for the masterstroke that this album was. This was the ambient/atmospheric black metal Burzum had started on Filosofem taken to the next logical level. The atmosphere is the driving force behind the album's charm. Engaging riffs, all played on a guitar with as unique a tone as you'll ever hear. Not to be missed.

    Wintersun- s/t


    Jari leaving Ensiferum was a huge departure for some to swallow, but no one knew the music he was about to unleash would arguably overshadow his former band's. While not primarily a folk metal band like Ensiferum, Wintersun borrows from various genres and the style of music presented here has been argued to this day. What we can say is that every song is epic in its songwriting approach. Each successive song has a greater length and the emotions run from ferocious and orchestral, to somber and cold. All the more impressive is that this is essentially a solo work, the drums being the only element not done by Jari. We can only sit ever patiently for the follow-up, Time, who's release date seems forever put off.

    Sunn O)))- Black One


    Black One stands not only as the band's most popular work, but possibly their best. Each song is carefully crafted and shaped into its own entity. The tortured vocals from guests Malefic and Wrest fit perfectly into the despairing atmosphere Sunn O))) has created here. Drone metal is a force to be reckoned with, and look no further than Black One to start your journey. It's never too late.

    Lifelover- Erotik


    While Pulver was highly original and experimental, Erotik took Lifelover's unique brand of black metal and depressive rock to the next logical step. The production was improved, the songwriting became tighter, and the emotions even more depressing. It's arguable that the band is even metal, but that's maybe what makes the band so charming. They escape modern classifications, and that's a trait that many of the greatest bands do.

    Alcest- Souvenirs d’un autre monde


    As ingenius as Le Secret is, and equally deserving to take the spot here, Souvenirs was the album that introduced people to a modern take on shoegaze, coupled with the faint traces of Alcest's black metal past. The harsh vocals are gone, replaced by Neige's ethereal clean pipes. They glide over the music in a way that creates harmony and tranquillity, while also sounding extremely emotional. The inclusion of the occasional mid-paced blast beats are a nice touch. This music will appeal to just about anyone with a pulse, it's just that charming.

    The Angelic Process- Weighing Souls with Sand


    The Angelic Process were a true underground gem that died all too suddenly. Their music was both strikingly heavy and beautiful at the same time. An experimental blend of drone, noise and ambient, this final work of theirs will probably be seen as their best work. This is a difficult album to acquire but it's one that will eat its way into your pysche. The music is so atmospheric and dense that it will the reward listener with many repeated listens.

    Ulver- Shadows of the Sun


    Perhaps the most original band of the last 15 years, Ulver have transformed from their early black metal incarnation, experimented with electronic and ambient music, and now rest firmly in a sound that is uber relaxing and somber more akin to just ambient. There's certainly no denying down to earth quality possessed on Shadows of the Sun. Each song is led by its spacey atmosphere and Garm's wonderful emotional tone. Ulver's changeling quality continues to challenge the listener that is willing enough to accept. It's worth it.

    Have a Nice Life- Deathconsciousness


    Another highly original band rising from, essentially, the depths of obscurity. This was easily one of 2008's defining albums. Have a Nice Life is not the kind of music for sunny days. This is seriously depressing music. Taking nods from post-punk, drone, shoegaze and a host of other influences, Deathconsciousness sprawls two albums, each one of equal quality to the other. The genuine quality of Have a Nice Life is ultimately one of their most appealing features.

    Bohren & der Club of Gore- Black Earth


    Doom + jazz + ambient = Black Earth? Yes. If you have even the faintest interest in any of these styles, this is an album that will become an instant favorite. This is the sort of music that you expect to hear from a lounge band playing at 3am. Moody, dark, and all too satisfying.

    Interpol- Turn on the Bright Lights


    Probably one of the greatest indie rock records of all time, Turn on the Bright Lights does pretty much everything right. One of the reasons is their clear influence from the post-punk sound of the 80s, such as Joy Division, and mixing it with more modern sounds in a way that's fresh. Songwriting is spot on as well, being just as catchy and addicting as it melancholy. It's a shame that Interpol have not been able to match this debut, but as good as this album is, it'd be hard for even the greatest of bands to equal it.

    Explosions in the Sky- The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place


    God Is an Astronaut- All is Violent, All is Bright


    Another post-rock album? It takes a special band to earn a spot amongst all the countless bands in this genre, but God is An Astronaut reached that status on this second album. One thing the band really has going for them here is their songwriting, which is around 5 minutes per song, allowing all the songs to cut right to the chase instead of "floating" around a repeated riff or melody. Not that it's a bad thing, but it's a nice change and helps them stand out. The music itself is gorgeous and grandiose, with climaxes coming early and often. If the first song doesn't have you hooked, then you might not have a soul.

    As you can start to see, these lists will not be exclusive to any one genre but cover a solid range. To be continued...
