the nice thing about 90% dark chocolate is that if someone asks you for a piece they wont ever again.

Styx is such a shitty band because the name makes you think that they'd be a dope-ass thrash or death metal band but instead they're like this ultra-obnoxious ballad-y dadprog outfit.

glennmagusharvey · 2014-05-13 22:53:53

but ballads > death metal

Rush sucks though

Previous Calica · 2014-05-13 23:00:09

I thought Rush was alright if you avoid the Objectivist stuff.

I dunno man, Free Will is a pretty shitty song.

Tom Sawyer is fun though.

SF_Sorrow · 2014-05-13 23:04:03

"Dust in the Wind" is overblown crap tho

death metal is incomprehensible noise

[/flamebait]

lee4hmz · 2014-05-13 23:12:14

Sterling is a fucking asshole and I hope the NBPA strikes if he doesn't stop his shit. :P

Obā-san · 2014-05-13 23:21:19

that's less flamebait and more a confession that one has incredible difficulty actively listening to music.

like

you can't seriously tell me that this isn't perfectly comprehensible and eminently musical.

well you can, but i won't believe you.

do you actually believe this?

Obā-san · 2014-05-13 23:26:50

I prefer to keep my actual beliefs shrouded in a veil of secrecy and hyperbole.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-05-13 23:27:32

your face is hyperbole

MetaFour · 2014-05-13 23:30:01

I listened to a Suffocation album once. (Don't remember which one.) Production was so damn muddy that everything was just a blur in my memory.

Obā-san · 2014-05-13 23:32:43

but to get down to the core of things, given the fairly precise and technically demanding nature of most death metal i'd have a hard time believing that someone actually trying to listen to it would find it "incomprehensible noise"

now that's not to say that everyone would or should enjoy it, as it's definitely a niche thing.

but saying that it's just noise is, well, wrong.

Anonus · 2014-05-13 23:33:04

see if this existed on a bigger budget it would be amazing

i play messiaen

your point is invalid

anyway, on a more serious note (and no pun intended), listening to the video you posted just now

lee4hmz · 2014-05-13 23:34:45

Now I'm watching the NC's Sidekicks review, and...well, his comments about the protagonist's apparent mental illness are a bit less funny knowing that his actor ended up killing himself back in 2003. :/

Obā-san · 2014-05-13 23:34:54

messiaen is hella dope

Obā-san · 2014-05-13 23:35:23

also i can never spell his name right for some reason

glennmagusharvey · 2014-05-13 23:37:22

so i heard about two or three musical sections, distinguished by their tonality and rhythm

i can't figure out how they were related, aside from stylistically

the lyrics were incomprehensible, but lyrics generally are even when they're not growled, and i'm not much a fan of this style of singing anyway, but i don't particularly care about lyrics so it's not a big deal

Obā-san · 2014-05-13 23:37:52

suffocation is p simple as death metal goes, lots of breakdowns and simple grooves

but they're a very fun band all around imo with lots of catchy songs

and over time i've come to value catchiness over virtuosic playing and brutality when it comes to metal

glennmagusharvey · 2014-05-13 23:38:13

i have a hunch i am not listening to this with the correct framework in mind

partly becaues i don't know what a breakdown is nor what a groove is

Obā-san · 2014-05-13 23:39:23

"iae" is an interesting cluster of letters that you don't see a lot

Obā-san · 2014-05-13 23:45:48

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakdown_(music)#Metal_and_punk

Suffocation tends to fall more on the punk-y side of this as the band members all came from a punk sort of background.

No offense, but how do you not know what a groove is? That's pretty basic as far as musical terminology goes.
