sideproject of some of the periphery members I like the kinda blackmetal-ish vibe they did for this, although i hate these goddamned midi-drums, they sound disgusting who knows, maybe i'll get used to it album is due sometime in november iirc

whoa, this has been out since mid-august? damn, i'm not worthy of calling myself a fan... (btw. i found the last album pretty solid actually, agreed tho on "begierde" being rather underwhelming) I might put in my few cents here as well later, but i doubt there's much more to be said^^

what is up with that announcer?

duuuuuuuuude

soooo, anyone any tips for the upcoming fall season? https://www.livechart.me/fall-2015/tv so far nothing at all on the list really gets my hopes up much. moderately interested in: Noragami S2 (first season was okay, albeit rushed and crappy season finale) One Punch Man (over the top humor and just insane production value, these fights look more boss than the whole team of avengers could ever hope to be. curious if it carries longer than a few episodes tho) Lupin III L'avventura Italiana never watched lupin before, but since it's sort of a classic and the intro looks pretty dope i'll give it a spin Kidou Senshi Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans well, it looks okay, gundam has always been pretty hit or miss with me tho (mostly miss...) Haikyuu S2 watched season one. was an okay time-waster

just watched avengers 2 sth ultron sth and as expected i could just have stared at a colorfull screensaver or whatever for 2:30 hours. these goddamn marvel films are all so horribly dialed in, everything so predictable and seen 1000 times before. the most uninspired action scenes, flattest characters and just this incredibly annoying sense of "ok, we need to now transition to this next product placement scene. today is samsung, after that comes audi and inbetween we still have this deal with skype..." ugh i really don't understand how these things make so much money. I mean, they're not actively annoying or disturbingly bad, they're just so completely irrelevant and unremarkable

not much of a reader, but recently ran through Andy Weir - The Martian in a couple of hours. Great book, it's really unconventional in its theme and way of narration, but it was a great experience. Probably the most plausible SciFi story i've ever come across and a great read in general! 10/10 would recommend The Movie for it will come out shortly (by Ridley Scott), maybe that'll make reading the book redundant. I'm happy I read it anyways and still curious about the movie, reviews so far claim it's pretty good

and yet another new thing from me. had this riff/groove strolling around my harddrive for ages and finally got along to finishing a song around it features all the good things, Drums! Piano!! Guitars!!! Soli!!!! FADEOUT!!!! oh what a genius i am... I wish that was me with the guitarsolos, but this was actually a gift from a friend of mine^^

lawful neutral on this one kamesthsth is clearly the better band in terms of songwriting, instrumental performance and production, and whilst their vocalist might not be perfect, compared to Jin he seems like a DNA-mix of lemmy kilmister and luciano pavarotti TBS on the other hand, simply by focusing more on nu-metal than on metalcore riffing and beats have a bit more groove going for them and being VK they offer a little more in the show'n shine department. so they're sort of on the same level for me, but neither of them actually manages to leave a noticeable dent in my interest-meter, so i'm voting "no opinion"

because noise is kewl, and because grind is also kewl, and because i need to get the average lenght of my soundcloud tracks down a bit... the ultimate chillout song i suppose

this one took me by surprise. super smooth stuff <3

exactly this^ if you'd condense the album to these very tracks (plus maybe the intro for good measure) it would be a pretty kick ass mini album (I'll probably do exactly that, even if i'm usually against messing with album structures). This Album is one of these rare cases, where the sum is actually less than it's parts ^^ EDIT: i see already said something along the same lines...

totally agreeing. In my "review" I also found OMINOUS and DERAsthsth the only somewhat rememberable tracks on this "effort". I have to disagree tho on the notion of them somehow utilizing the possibilities of two guitars. Especially in the immensely uninspired middle part (which, in this particular case, stretches from the second half of the first track to the second to last song) they play like 95% in unison. Also @pretz, i guess ominous doesn't exactly get that much praise because it's some kind of masterpiece or anything. It's just the only thing on the album that's not just another 5minute extension of the previous 50 minutes. I.e. a "stand-out song" so to say. (I do like it a bit tho...)

well, the claim is more, that there aren't that many catchy choruses, and the ones that are there aren't any good, but that's of course subjective. However, you may seem to notice, the main qualm people have with the album isn't that of lacking catchiness, but that of monotony. To elaborate on that, here my very in-depth, very scientific analysis, track by track: 1: NIHIL 80bpm, B-flat minor, intro, electronic 2: Headache Man var. 1 100bpm, B-flat minor, Heavy GurrGurr song 3. Headache Man var. 2 120bpm, B-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song 4. Headache Man var. 3 150bpm, B-flat minor, Heavy GurrGurr song 5. DERACINE 75bpm, B-minor, Power Ballad or sth 6. Headache Man var. 4 110bpm, A-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song 7. Ruthless Deed v2.0 90bpm, A-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song 8. Headache Man var. 5 105bpm, B-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song 9. Hyena v2.0 100bpm, C#-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song 10. Headache Man var.6 120bpm, A-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song (with little ballady bits) 11. Headache Man var.7 120bpm, B-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song 12. Headache Man var.8 120bpm, D#-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song (with little ballady bits) 13. Headache Man var.9 145bpm, B-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song 14. OMINOUS 90bpm, D#-minor, Song now, if i wasn't such an asshat i might give them, that Hyena 2.0 (i think it's real title is lucy?) is more of a punkrock track than gurrgurr, that maybe the gurrgurr/balladybit songs have a more suitable example than headacheman, but you get the picture. the overall impression of the album is, that more than 2/3 of the songs are more or less slight variations of sth like headache man, somewhere between 100 and 120bpm, probably in B or B-flat minor. On DIM you had one headacheman (maybe adding moth, leech and ogre to the same realm, but that's about it), which is why people loved it so much. Here you have a full album consisting of one single track, that in the end just feels like an hourlong forgettable slob of generic riffwankery. (which isn't helped much by the fact, that they once again fail to chime in on the possibilities of having two guitars. I mean, double-tracking is cool and all, but when the rhythm and the lead guitars are just carbon copies of each other for 90% of the time you really are doing sth wrong, or are being very lazy) Edit: Also, having listened to the album a few times more now, i change my rating from 6-7/10 to more of a 5.5/10 due to severe boredom

well, personally I don't really care much for guren myself and find it just one of the more forgettable gazette ballads, but specifically and out of nowhere calling out a track (that doesn't really differ much from anything else gazette has done) that is immensly popular, from the album which is pretty universally (on this forum) considered to be gazettes best so far and calling it one of the worst songs written by mankind leads me to two possible scenarios. 1. The poster desperately needs to make known, that his tastes differ from the peasant mainstream, which i would consider to be somewhat "hipster" 2. The poster wanted to piss off as many people as possible, which is what i would consider the "troll". If that was the intention and seeing that I reacted to it, well done i guess? I mean of course it's totally fine not to like guren, but without any connection specifically slamming this track from that album makes it kinda hard not to come to these conclusions. well, and that ^^ sooo, to not be totally off-topic and trying to somewhat getting onto DOGMA, I probably aswell consider it a better effort than anything that came after DIM, but that doesn't mean much. In general it is very same-y over the whole length. most of the tracks seem just like minor variations of the same base formula. On top of it it doesn't really vary much in energy, even the tempos are pretty similar throughout all the titles. As a result there aren't really any standout tracks per se for me, which is not good. there are just little stand-out moments here and there, where i might think, nice riff / cool little vocal motif / interesting sound / nice groove etc. but that's about it. Nonetheless i don't dislike the standard-gazerock fare that much and as mentioned it has its fun moments, so i would probably consider it somewhat of a 6-7/10. might do a full review if i happen to listen to it more often (i doubt it though)

cheese, lots of it and particularly the nasty/smelly ones. roquefort, blue stilton, swiss, bergkäse...
