yeah I'm not to certain about the genres, but basically this thread is for discussing electronic music.

I know these songs are really mainstream but stuff Like this:

So what does everyone's family and friends think about J-rock? I mean they must of questioned what type of music you were listening to when they found out.

I got into the whole J-rock scene when i was about 14. I started to listen to ton of bands and played their music in my room all the time. My brother was the first to find out then, and he was actually pretty cool about it and ended up getting in to it. My mom found it a little odd at first and thought it was Chinese not Japanese. Naturally I had to correct her. But she didn't really questioned it after that or any of my future musical tastes. Throughout the years I actually managed to get some of my friends into it. Mostly because I think I happened to have some song playing and the music was awesome enough to transcend the language barrier and get them hooked. I think the only other negative stereotypical assumption that ever occurred was when some people thought I listened to anime music. I'd usually respond by saying I listen to some bands that happen to be in anime not anime music.

For the most part the people in my life have been pretty cool with it. They either end up getting it to it or don't really care for it and just leave it at that.

So this the first Uverworld album I've heard and its pretty good. I had heard other singles by them and they sounded awesome so I decided to try them out. Right off the bat one of the most obvious thing about this band is their strength in alternative rock and in incorporating different styles of music and instruments into it, be it pop, hard rock, rap, acoustic Spanish guitars or saxophones. They reminded me of Abingdon boys school in this aspect in that they excel in the alternative rock sound. Another thing I enjoy about Uverworld is their song composition and structure. Not only does it aid in their incorporation of different sounds, but it makes their music interesting. All the bridges, breakdowns, post choruses, and well placed fills work very well.

One of the downsides I found with this album is the sound production. It is very well produced but at times it totters between sounding well produced and having the icky way too clean feel of being overproduced. Which brings me to Takuya's vocals. There are moments when I found myself having trouble clicking with certain songs because I had trouble liking his poppy vocal performance. I can't tell if this because of his vocal technique, or because it goes back to my original complaint about sounding too overproduced.

Anyway like I said, I ended up enjoying this album. I give it a 7.8/10

I'll just throw this out there and ask if any other Uver fans can recommend another good album by them?

Keep.

Negative OldCheesey comes back. I gotta admit, this is THE absolutely worst band that I know of. I can listen to their debut without dying too much, but I find everything else to be horrible. It actually sounds like a bunch of guys have terrible spasms and recodign it. I cannot seem to understand how that can be listenable to anyone at all.

Actually I know some other people who feel this way. They don't really seem to be for everyone and with all the complex song structures and odd time signatures, poly-rhythms and all those odd musical techniques their using, it makes it hard to discern their music.

Meshuggah is an experimental metal band formed in Umeå, Sweden in 1987. Meshuggah's line-up has primarily consisted of founding members vocalist Jens Kidman and lead guitarist Fredrik Thordendal, drummer Tomas Haake, who joined in 1990, and rhythm guitarist Mårten Hagström, who joined in 1993. The band has gone through a number of bassists, but the position has been held by Dick Lövgren since 2004.

Meshuggah first attracted international attention with the 1995 release Destroy Erase Improve for its fusion of fast-tempo death metal, thrash metal and progressive metal with jazz fusion elements. Since its 2002 album Nothing, Meshuggah has used downtuned eight-string guitars. Meshuggah has become known for innovative musical style, complex, polymetered song structures and polyrhythms.

Meshuggah has become known for its innovative musical style that evolves between each release and pushes heavy metal into new territory, and for its technical prowess. Hagström comments: "We try never to repeat ourselves." Rolling Stone labeled Meshuggah as "one of the ten most important hard and heavy bands", and the Alternative Press named it the "most important band in metal." Meshuggah has been described as virtuoso or genius-bordering musicians, "recognized by mainstream music magazines, especially those dedicated to particular instruments". In 2007, Meshuggah earned an in-depth analysis by the academic journal Music Theory Spectrum. Meshuggah has found little mainstream success but is a significant act in extreme underground music and an influence for many modern metal bands.

I've only heard their last 3 abums so far, but I've been meaning to check out their older stuff. I love their experimental side and of course their musical composition/instrumentality. They got so much stuff going on in their songs, it makes a good music theory and ear training study.

Their new EP looks awesome. I wish it was more than just 3 new songs and then a whole bunch of remixes. I liked all of their releases so far, so I'm still looking forward to this.

Cool game concept.

They made some really awesome and trippy sounding stuff. Head Dress seems to be the exception but still, it reminds of a 1950's rock tune. Love the guitar riff in that song.

On their debut album, Brooklyn singer-keyboardist Will Roan and guitarist Simon O'Connor long to get lost in the garden of Eden, and these showmen/shamen, with a full band and 15-piece orchestra, almost get there. Channeling glam, metal, punk, power pop, and experimental noise, Rewild is like a tour through a psychedelic fantasyland, featuring visions, hallucinations, and glimpses of death. Roan coaxes with an almost deliriously euphoric art-rock swagger while O'Connor infuses every track with hedonistic energy. Amazing Baby are desperate to dazzle -- and they often do.

9/10

I've never done anything major or anything I regretted except for one thing. And that was never having the courage to ask out a girl I really liked back in school. She was in my orchestra class and played violin like I did. Yeah she was hot, but she was also really smart and kind. I think the worst part was that I eventually found out she liked me back, but I didn't have the balls to confess my feeling to her.
