Hey ya'lls Lynch fans, I'm just getting into the band and was wondering if people could recommend their favorite song/releases by them. So far I've listened to "The Avoided Sun" and "a grateful shit" and soon will give "Shadows" and "Greedy dead souls" a listen. I like what I heard in the first half of "The Avoided Sun" and loved "a grateful shit". I have even higher expectations after hearing that "Shadows" and "Greedy dead souls" are their best releases. (more so "Shadows" than Gds tho) How are their newer albums and how do they compare to their older work? Looking around the forum it sounds like their newer work is just about average, but do people somewhat enjoy them?

Yo Haha...Photoshop.. lol : P Yes, come to Seattle.

It snowed here so I took a snow selfie. Not as goofy as last year's : P

Toshiya's arms look like edamame ready to pop out of the pod.

Does anyone know more about this? http://facemusic.shop-pro.jp/?pid=79096348 Apparently Sadie re-released a fan club version of "a holy terrors" for their anniversary.

I agree! On a side note, I thought A Serbian Film was terrible too. I couldn't watch through most of it, just skipped. (Also, I found it on YouTube whta the heck..) I've always been too scared to watch Martyrs. I've seen all Saws so how would you compare the disturbance level with those films? Have you Seen The Collector? I had high hopes for it based on a review from a couple guys I enjoy and usually agree with. But I thought the film came up really short.

I just watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 last night and maaan was it gooood. It was a lot more goofy than the first one ,making it sort of a black comedy, but it still had the crazy psycho atmosphere of the first one. I mostly laughed through most of it.

Artist: APOGEE Album: OUT OF BLUE Score: If you like to dance then OUT OF BLUE may be for you. Serendipitous moments in life are my favorite. You’ll be going about your usual way and then run into a band like APOGEE. They’re a four-man powered synth-pop group with heavy influences from New Wave and 80’s music. And, their music is very danceable. We’re introduced to the album with "Runaway Summer", a fairly slow track but exciting enough to make you tap your feet. The chorus is simple but catchy and you’ll find yourself singing along every time it plays. And, those syncopated synth chords will undoubtedly bring you back to the 80’s. Things really get down with "Tonight". It opens with a double bass and snare blast and launches you into a groove so infectious you’ll wish there was a dance floor nearby. The use of electric guitar adds a nice edgy sound to the song too. It’s a really fun track and I find myself coming back to it a lot. The only drawback for me is the rather abrupt ending. "Losing You" keeps the album’s energy going but brings a more sobering mood to the album. It features a catchy little electronic cadence and some really great vocal work in the second melody. "Out of Blue" slows the pace down but retains the groove from prior songs. It’s relaxing and the swelling synths add an otherworldly atmosphere. As a side-note, the filter used on the vocals reminds me of vocals from the band Electric Light Orchestra. The New Wave influences are a lot more apparent in "Twilight Arrow" from the wonky bass line to the various clinks and clanks of metallic electronic noises. There’s a steady rhythm set by the kick drum and in the chorus everything flows together nicely. Near the end, the song picks up into something funkier and breaks out into an exciting sequence. The synths here can be a little obnoxious though. "Fall into the Sky" is a wonderful ballad that combines a traditional Japanese sound with their electronic synth sound. It’s split into two parts, a milder soft section that focuses on the vocals and a more powerful section that emphasizes the synth and other instruments. I love the sampled voice they use in the beginning (and later throughout the song); it adds a very cute and Japonesque quality to the song without breaking the mood. After all that build up I’m ready for something upbeat. But instead, "A Boy in the river" is next. By no means is it a bad song though. It’s a laid-back track that continues off the more traditional Japanese sound. Simple and short, A Boy in the river is a nice casual listen. The album does pick up again with "Fictionalizer". It begins strong with the synth and drums and maintains a steady pace. About halfway through though, I had hoped that the song would come to some sort of climax, but the same melody and rhythm kept playing. It repeats three times and the song goes nowhere. It’s a bit of a downer to be honest. We finally come to the close of the album with "Transit". It’s another ballad but plays entirely off their electronic sound. In fact, it reminds me of the disbanded electro-rock/new wave band school food punishment. It starts with one note, held forever. It grows louder and louder, intensifying. Another note joins in. It keeps growing louder and louder until the songs starts and the note slowly fades away. When the song starts, it’s a slow and steady rhythm with a repeating keyboard cadence. For much of the song, the same melancholy beat and melody is played. But, when it gets to the chorus, the vocals become a beautiful A Capella. It’s the perfect calm ending to the album. APOGEE is a fun band. They make fun music that a lot of people can enjoy, and they do a fantastic job of mixing in different influences while staying unique. OUT OF BLUE is an album that stands well as an entire package and by its individual songs. I came upon the album by chance but it’ll definitely stay with me for years to come. Now let’s go hit dat dance floor.

Already pre-orders! http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/feature/sukekiyo_vitium_20141125 Limited Edition bonus CD sounds like it's gonna suck though. More Immortalis remixes and live songs. The first set of remixes were uggggggly (except "kugui". I liked that very much).

I want dat PZSK but it's so dang EXSP. ensive

-Rentrer en Soi - Yurikago (First Press) -D'espairsray - Mirror (First Press) -D'espairsray - Maverick (First Press) Ahhh Rentrer en Soi!

Wow that's a toughy. I'd say sex though because I absolutely CANNOT live without music. But then again, I want children. But, I live for music so.... wow -k∆- way to ask an impossible question! I think at this time I would say No sex Yes music. I've never been "physical" so it's hard to say for me. Would you stop doing something you like (i.e. eating sweets, listening music, etc.) for one month if a family member or friend asked you to?

Lol, thanks : ). Well, only the white part is, actual mask I think is paper machè. long story short, not enough resources and time, had to get creative.

My friend hosted a Masquerade dance for her 23rd birthday (Not traditional sadly, just modern dance party : P). Couldn't pass an opportunity to take a photo.

WaT iS thIS?! http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=CyoXYCVF49A

Vampires because they're into that mmm kinky stuff. But I'm talking like original Dracula, Castlevania, etc. None of that Twilight poop with sparkle skin and teenage drama. Also Dracula can shapeshift into a bat, wolf, and fog. I also love werewolves. That transformation sequence in "An American Werewolf in London" gave me nightmares as a kid.

Nope totally normal. I feel the same way. Guess you could say you're/I'm just empathetic. There was a time when I would always forget to rinse the soap from my left armpit while taking a shower. It was pretty consistent too. Is that weird?

Never had one. But would assume....yes? Did you blush when you read the previous question? (I did)

*photo link is broken

I was thinking of starting a thread like this! My small (for now) contribution: Dir en Grey - Merciless Cult The chorus to me sounds like: -HUAH! -ROB RICE! -HUAH! -ROB RICE! -HUAH! -ROB RICE!

That explains everything thanks. It really sucks though that the only thing bringing the series down is Nick. Legend of Korra has been great, but, because of having to hurdle over different obstacles, I feel like the series had to make a lot of compromises. No doubt that Mike and Bryan can make an amazing show, but that Nick. Dang.

thanks : )

with the new episode.

I'm glad there was no crazy growling in any of the previews! I'm sure there'll be some but it's great to hear that the majority of the album won't be that. *edit* dang it, none of symbols I used showed up..

Yes, altough I don't personally cosplay, I just love seeing people's cosplays. Do you like the rain?
