What's a spinnin' in your CD player?


Recommended Posts

Funnily enough, the growls were about all that picked up the attention of my ears today. Not saying I loved them... just showed a bit off vigour in an otherwise very restrained and bland band... imo, of course.

 

I heard the riffs and even heard some vocal melodies, but if you're not putting the melodies (and riffs, as a matter of fact) to any use, or they're without purpose, they're kind of insignificant. I know this "prog" thing isn't about catchy hooks and melodies and stuff, and that's cool if you dig it. But I don't, at all. Like I say, I just find stuff like this excessively boring. It'd be solid background music, but never for listening to upfront... unless you need something to put you to sleep.

 

 

Threshold? I sold their cds years ago. Back then , like you typed, it were a regular placebo for those nights of erotic insomnia. :tumbsup:

Thanks guys, glad to see I'm not alone. I'm not massive on the latest Wilson discs but the Mac years are essential imo.

Yes, thank you guys, for also liking a crap band. ;)

Adelitas way - Getaway

Art of Dying - Rise up

 

You like them, hey? I like the first half of Adelitas Way but the end of the album is really poor. Not a fan at all of the Art Of Dying - very nu-metal. 'Everything' is brilliant and I think I liked 2 other songs, but overall it was very, very nu-metal, and not very true to their style and sound.

 

Anyway, today was another generally weak one (jeez I obviously never got to the letter "T" in my rather vain culling efforts):

Cherry Bang - Popped
Cherry St. - X Rated

I really like the Adelitas way album though I'd agree that the best songs by far are at the start of the disc, Low, shame and Bad reputation are some of my favourite songs this year so far

I also kind of agree regarding art of dying, vices and virtues is probably my favourite modern rock album or certainly top 5 , and the new one is a lot heavier and I too would have preferred vices and virtues part 2 , still like at least half of it though , everything , tear down the wall , eat you alive and Space are really good songs imo

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
    • Your Eyes - Darkstone (2024) Two versions of my song number 6     https://suno.com/song/e8c1e85b-21ee-4d35-a64b-e786f00944d2   https://suno.com/song/9144c77a-bd7c-49c1-9508-f724d0832fdb
    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
