So Nighty, how many years do you think it's going to take to digest this (it might redefine the term "bubblegum music")?

Guys guys, save the drama for the opera.

Let me put it this way, when I first saw Nightcrawler's comment, "Thanks for the woeful music" I just thought he was talking to me.

This is beautiful.

Speaking of which, a lovely selection from the new Mega Man 9 OCR album, Splash Waltz:

Yeah, i forgot to quote properly, but it was meant to you and Oburi (and also to the quote on Oburi's post as well).

They should have collaborated on a sequel to Reed's Metal Machine Music:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYtzNl48F60

Metal Machine Music is generally considered to be either a joke, a grudging fulfillment of a contractual obligation, or an early example of noise music. The album features no songs or even recognizably structured compositions, eschewing melody and rhythm for an hour of over-modulated feedback and guitar effects, intricately mixed at varying speeds by Reed himself. In the album's liner notes he claimed to have invented heavy metal music and asserted that Metal Machine Music was the ultimate conclusion of that genre.

It gets better though:

The album made Reed a laughing stock in the rock industry while simultaneously opening the door for his later, more experimental material. Historically, Metal Machine Music is now considered a seminal forerunner of industrial music, noise rock, and contemporary sound art.

Oh, the power of rationalization.

Finally, I feel the reception section should be read in its entirety (and the section on Reed's method is genuinely interesting):

On its release, it was reviewed in Rolling Stone magazine as sounding like "the tubular groaning of a galactic refrigerator" and as displeasing to experience as "a night in a bus terminal". In the 1979 Rolling Stone Record Guide, critic Billy Altman said it was "a two-disc set consisting of nothing more than ear-wrecking electronic sludge, guaranteed to clear any room of humans in record time." (This aspect of the album is referenced in the Bruce Sterling short story Dori Bangs.) However, the first issue of the seminal New York zine Punk, placed Reed and the album on its inaugural 1976 issue, presaging the advent of both punk and the discordance of the New York No Wave scene. To quote critic Victor Bockris, Reed's recording can be understood as "the ultimate conceptual punk album and the progenitor of New York punk rock." The album was ranked number two in the 1991 book The Worst Rock 'n' Roll Records of All Time by Jimmy Guterman and Owen O'Donnell. The book gives sympathy to legendary record cutting engineer Bob Ludwig for having to listen to the album in its entirety. (In fact, according to the liner notes of the 2000 reissue of the album, Ludwig was "totally into what Lou was doing" and compared the work to that of avant-garde classical composers Iannis Xenakis and Karlheinz Stockhausen.) In 2005, Q magazine included the album in a list of "Ten Terrible Records by Great Artists", and it ranked number four in Q's fifty worst albums of all time list. It was again featured in Q magazine in December 2010 for the "Top Ten Career Suicides" list, where it came eighth overall. The Trouser Press Record Guide referred to it as "four sides of unlistenable oscillator noise," parenthetically calling that assessment "a description, not a value judgment."

Probably the most sympathetic appraisal of Metal Machine Music was given by rock critic Lester Bangs, who wrote that "as classical music it adds nothing to a genre that may well be depleted. As rock 'n' roll it's interesting garage electronic rock 'n' roll. As a statement it's great, as a giant FUCK YOU it shows integrity—a sick, twisted, dunced-out, malevolent, perverted, psychopathic integrity, but integrity nevertheless." Bangs later wrote a tongue-in-cheek article on Metal Machine Music titled "The Greatest Album Ever Made", in which he judged it "the greatest record ever made in the history of the human eardrum."

Many fans of Reed's more straightforward rock efforts returned their copies of Metal Machine Music to record stores, believing that the droning grind which allots for the album's entirety was actually the result of defective vinyl.

After St. Anger came out Reed must have known they were kindred spirits. Also, Lou's lyrics on the Lulu album reportedly caused Metallica to cry.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, from what I've heard, it's going to have the same effect on me.

(sorry for so much, but this stuff is writing itself =)

That and Black Seeds. After those it got overdone.
Dunno if you ever heard the EPs (Festivals of Atonement being my favorite). It was the first thing i got from them.

I checked it out after reading your post, it's pretty good! I'm surprised I never checked out any of their EPs before *sucker punch*. I like that it sounds raw versus their over-produced stuff off late that sounds like Annihilation Part 1 or Part 2. I think that's also one of the things I love about ATCON, aside from being a beast on song-writing. Thanks for the recco!

On a Crowbar kick since last night ... Broken Glass ftw. The album has no weak songs and it's fat guys playing awesome music that's sorrowful and hateful

Here, get technical http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wf5s7AQ310 and live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA67UNstFWM

 

[Griffith]

Impressive, though technical is a dirty word unless you want to end up discussing G3 on Jemsite (don't think it would be a trapping of Necrophagist's style though =). Anyway, I like Davidson because he plays real metal like rock n' roll, but enough fuckin' around, time to get SERIOUS:

Griff, i was thinking of posting Michael Angelo videos before. But this was the one that came to my mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb5QaCfm7bg It's funny, watch the whole thing. Love the trick at 2:57

 

[Griffith]

"I'm going to give YOU the keys to the Lamborghini."

I could hardly recognize him at the beginning because he's not staring grimly down at his guitar with his hair over his eyes; that's the real key to playing like Michael Angelo! Which reminds me...

I Understand Completely

Paul Gilbert's satire of overly pretentious guitar rock. Fastest nylon string shred you'll ever hear!

Onset of Putrefaction is where it's at, Epitaph got boring when I knew the album in-n-out. When I think technical, I think of -

I'm not a fan of technical stuff at all, but Obscura is a classic. As for Meshuggah, they deserve more credit than they have. Most of the more mainstream metal (that hideous "djent" name) scene nowadays owes A LOT to them. Nevertheless i find them stale and boring most of the time. I think "I" is a masterpiece, but it's not a style i listen to often at all.

 

[IncantatioN]

Agreed on the above, try out Catch 33 ; ) ... it's basically a full album based off 1 main riff which comes over and over with variation. Nothing is great, Obzen is incredible ... I can go on about all their albums.

Anyone heard of DYE? Well ... check out their new song AND ... *raises eyebrow* cool video
