MUSIC: the official thread.

Roots is the best sepultura album, and territory is my favourite song on chaos a.d. . I agree with you TFK.

 

I'm not gonna get into a heated debate over the quality of metal of all things....but Roots is some irredeemably boring shit. I thought as much as a 15 year old and i was an unusually stupid/drunk 15 year old. Slow ass shit with one chord going on for 40 seconds at a time.

 

I guarantee they started smoking weed in the 90s. I know the malign influence of weed when i hear it

 

Are you sure you're talking about 'Roots' and not 'The Roots'? Because some shitty rap band fits your description more than it does Sepultura.

Musicians smoking pot? Unheard of!

I haven't listened to Sepultura since about 15 years, but I used to like the heavy sound of Roots better than anything they did before. I don't know how to take your reference to your stupidity at 15 years old but I'll simply reply : to each his own.

 

yeah sorry man, Im not sure what i meant by that either. It wasn't meant to be as cuntish as it sounds when i read it back. Just a comment on how boring i found roots musically, i guess

 

The Roots are superb musicians, especially that drummer

 

That's alright.

 

PIÑATA - Madlib & Freddie Gibbs is a dope album. madlib is a legendary producer.

I feel stoned just listening to that. Reminds me of when i would go round my pals how and they'd all be sitting in a small room doing gravity bongs listening to alice in chains thru subwoofers. Within 90 seconds you'd feel like your head was in a goldfish bowl that was slowly filling with syrup. 'Right i gotta get going. Catch you's out later, yeah?'

 

Echo and The Bunnymen is like what the kids on South Park who burned down Hot Topic would listen to

I actually know what you mean, it's definitely music to blaze to. The album is from 1994 and I totally missed it at the time, good band, lovely textures.

 

At least they wouldn't sit under a CACTUS while they listened to it.

 

Besides, Suburban American kids have a history of taking UK music that made sense in its context and gaying it up. California punk, for instance.A working class scouser had legitimate reason to feel pretty sombre in 1981. No jobs, their entire city crumbling to bits, nothing but boarded up, soot stained Victorian buildings and broken glass everywhere. Whatcha want, The Beach Boys?

 

pffft... whatever, conformist

 

I think American suburbanites simply tapped into the homo, cutter zeitgeist clearly visible in groups like Echo and The Bunnymen, Yaz and Depeche Mode:hammert:

 

Did you just group Echo & the bunnymen with Depeche Mode and Yaz? :atu: Ohhh I'm goonna have ya' job shithead!

 

it's roughly 9000 times more accurate than grouping urbane music like Steeley Dan with the fucking Desert... HAVE YOU MADE YOUR DECISION, FOR CHRIST!

 

For goodness sake, Depeche mode worse lipstick and made music for MTV, E&TBMs biggest stated influences were Velvet Underground, the Standells and Leonard Cohen.

Anyway, i keep getting caught up defending bands im not a big fan of. I listen to about 3 Bunnymen tracks a year. Still better than CACTI tho

 

I wouldn't know... and neither would STEELY DAN, you fairy!!!

Are you interested? I know you are because it's FUCK OR WALK

 

quit hating. cali punk > *

 

co-sign on both counts

 

That's about 5 too many.


TFK

 

I always get Echo & The Bunnymen mixed up with Lindisfarne

Echo & The Bunnymen? Total wank. One-hit wonder. Shit band.
My mate's 's ex-missus once shagged McCullouch...said he was a miserable cunt back then, too.
Take your fucking shades OFF, you prick.



BTW, did you know that Steely Dan's ex-guitarist extraordinaire, Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter now advises and designs missile systems for the US military and NASA?

 

yeah, Baxter is quite the lunatic nowadays

 

Excellent track:
