BF2S Forums what are you listening to right now?

I guess that shows some form of integrity on your part; liking music that people you dislike introduced you to.

Does Tera Melos sound like The Fall of Troy, or the other way around? You decide.

Uzique wrote:

fall of troy came afterwards

and they're both copying a bunch of bands that came 10 years before, anyway

so it's not like it matters

jens i've been compared to the guy from Girls before... and no way is he 10 years older than me!

TFOT came before Tera Melos, if you can believe that site with the creepy dude looking at you (wikipedia).

Apparently they toured together in '08. So you listen to one, go for a beer, come back to the other and point out, in a drunken haze, that it's still the same band.

Anyway, like you said, doesn't really matter. TFOT worked as a good Mars Volta substitute-drug when Frances the Mute wasn't what I expected, and De-Loused had to be shelved for a while after some really heavy listening. Frances the Mute soon grew on me though.

TFOT are nothing like the mars volta and never have been

these bands are nothing new, they're just building on math-rock jams that were invented by bands like Hella... about 10 years earlier

tera melos were doing 'that' particular brand of twitchy math-rock before TFOT... back then they were making screamy noise

Well I guess you learn something new every day.

I agree, The Mars Volta is really in a league of their own. As was ATDI.

im not saying TMV or ATDI or better/worse... im just saying that TMV's musical style has nothing in common with tera/troy

"Nothing" is a pretty definite word. Considering:



Prog-experimental-post-HC, whateveryouwannacallit. Fuck genres, though.

The Mars Volta that happened after De-Loused is a different thing, completely different than the debut, which was almost ATDI-sounding. I'm pretty sure tera and tfot have done their homework when it comes to post-hc, especially atdi.

But I neither said they're the same, if you read my posts.

Uzique wrote:

lol.

the mars volta are prog-rock, yeah... sometimes experimental... not really post-hardcore at all, that's ATDI

math-rock is a different kettle of fish. there isn't even the same song-structure.

I know, it's your mission to always be right, and that everyone else is wrong.

just go listen to don cab and hella, fucking please

then maybe you can be a little butthurt over the definition of math-rock

Roll back a bit, I never said I thought all of the above were "the same". You wanted to read it that way though. I never said I'd be butthurt either, where'd you get that from?

I'll check out the bands you suggested more in-depth, I've only gotten a glance of the music. So thanks for the recommendation, mate. And speaking of math, I'm going through another one of my oh-so-many Meshuggah-phases, this time the "Nothing"-album. Don't think it's your cuppa, but maybe you want to check it out, so next time we talk about it, you'll know everything better than me.

haven't listened to them in yeaaars... not sure i feel angsty enough anymore

although that drumkit from hell patch that the drummer kept using was enough to make anyone angry

Meshuggah has the effect on me that whenever I feel wound up, it calms me down, gives me a cup of warm cocoa with whipped cream on top and, a blanket and tells me that everything is going to be just fine. Especially "Dancers to a Discordant System" from obZen.

Not at all on the subject: I just browsed my shelf and after seeing NIN, remembered one thing. "Closer" gets women wet.

pretty hate machine has just been remastered, can't go wrong with that

Ooh. Sexy!

There's just something about "Closer" as a track that makes it have a near 100% success rate in achieving arousal within the female sex. If it's a hipster chick in question, the success rate is increased to 150% if you happen to have Downward Spiral on vinyl.
