Feb 21 21:59:36 * Tanner is listening to The Wolf Is Loose by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 21:59:42 * Yahoozy is now listening to: Mastodon - The Wolf Is Loose
Feb 21 21:59:50 <Yahoozy> I love The Wolf Is Loose.
Feb 21 21:59:55 <Yahoozy> It's the most abrasive track, I think.
Feb 21 21:59:56 <Borealis> Great way to kick off the album, this.
Feb 21 22:00:46 <Borealis> Probably one of the more conventional as well, musically.
Feb 21 22:00:57 <Tanner> It really is.
Feb 21 22:00:58 <Yahoozy> ...
Feb 21 22:01:09 <Tanner> But I think that's a good way to draw people like myself in.

Feb 21 22:01:21 <KinGAleX> AWW SHIT IM LATE
Feb 21 22:01:48 <Borealis> Well, the timing's never going to be perfect.
Feb 21 22:01:49 <Yahoozy> 1:20?
Feb 21 22:01:55 <Yahoozy> 1:30?
Feb 21 22:01:55 <KinGAleX> Yeah that'll do.
Feb 21 22:02:00 <Yahoozy> I'm at 1:40.
Feb 21 22:02:00 <Tanner> I'm at 2:30 now
Feb 21 22:02:08 <KinGAleX> I was at 1:30.
Feb 21 22:02:19 <ortsz> I'm at Pendulous Skin.

Feb 21 22:02:38 <Borealis> Hah.
Feb 21 22:02:43 * Yahoozy removes ban on *!*digglepnk@wpe-2A7EB6D5.ip.adam.com.au
Feb 21 22:02:46 <KinGAleX> Why does this always happen?
Feb 21 22:02:49 * ortsz (digglepnk@wpe-2A7EB6D5.ip.adam.com.au) has joined #Music
Feb 21 22:02:49 * ChanServ gives channel operator status to ortsz
Feb 21 22:02:55 <ortsz> D;
Feb 21 22:03:01 <Borealis> It's because we're useless.
Feb 21 22:03:06 <Yahoozy> Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...
Feb 21 22:03:08 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Sleeping Giant"
Feb 21 22:03:11 * Tanner is listening to Crystal Skull by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 22:03:11 <Yahoozy> Crystal Skull.
Feb 21 22:03:19 <Tanner> ...
Feb 21 22:03:22 <Yahoozy> OH CRAP WHY DIDN'T YOU UPLOAD CRYSTAL SKULL
Feb 21 22:03:23 <KinGAleX> This is my second favourite track.
Feb 21 22:03:23 <Yahoozy> FUCK YOU, TANNER
Feb 21 22:03:24 <KinGAleX> Without a doubt.
Feb 21 22:03:35 * Yahoozy is now listening to: Mastodon - Crystal Skull
Feb 21 22:03:36 <Tanner> This is probably my favourite track.
Feb 21 22:03:42 <KinGAleX> I actually like the riff.
Feb 21 22:03:44 <Borealis> I meant crustal skull!
Feb 21 22:03:47 <Borealis> cystal!
Feb 21 22:03:49 <KinGAleX> But it could do with a better tone, I would say.
Feb 21 22:03:55 <Borealis> CRYST-FUCKING-SAL.
Feb 21 22:03:59 <KinGAleX> I don't actually like any one thing on this album.
Feb 21 22:04:01 <KinGAleX> The vocals annoy me.
Feb 21 22:04:17 <KinGAleX> THe drumming is too single-minded.
Feb 21 22:04:24 <Borealis> They're certainly an acquired taste.
Feb 21 22:04:25 <Yahoozy> The vocals are fine.
Feb 21 22:04:28 <Tanner> I hear that a lot when I recommend it to my metal friends, KinGAleX.
Feb 21 22:04:28 <KinGAleX> The guitar tones are frustrating.
Feb 21 22:04:42 <KinGAleX> Needs more distortion.
Feb 21 22:04:49 <KinGAleX> But somehow, I don't mind it all together.
Feb 21 22:04:58 <Borealis> The tone on Remission is fantastic.
Feb 21 22:05:03 <KinGAleX> Like, I'd rather listen to this than Van Der GRaaf Generator.
Feb 21 22:05:18 <Tanner> The drumming is thunderous.
Feb 21 22:05:27 <KinGAleX> Heavy on the toms, yeah.
Feb 21 22:05:29 <Yahoozy> It's bombastic.
Feb 21 22:05:32 <KinGAleX> But all his fills are very similar.
Feb 21 22:05:40 <KinGAleX> Four hits of snare to four hits of low tom.
Feb 21 22:05:51 <KinGAleX> I prefer more linear playeres.
Feb 21 22:06:03 <Tanner> I dunno, man. I sort of admire just his ability to keep this up during a live show.
Feb 21 22:06:17 <Tanner> Well, in general, their energy is tremendous.
Feb 21 22:06:22 <KinGAleX> I don't think it's any more astounding than other metal drummers.
Feb 21 22:06:40 * Tanner is listening to Sleeping Giant by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 22:06:41 <KinGAleX> The energy is indeed tremendous.
Feb 21 22:06:46 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Sleeping Giant, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:01 / 05:36] 272kbps
Feb 21 22:06:50 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Sleeping Giant"
Feb 21 22:06:55 <Borealis> Actually, this time.
Feb 21 22:06:59 <KinGAleX> Hehe.
Feb 21 22:06:59 <Tanner> :D
Feb 21 22:07:05 <Yahoozy> Most metal drummers thrive on being the best.
Feb 21 22:07:08 <KinGAleX> Speaking of tremendous energy.
Feb 21 22:07:11 <KinGAleX> That's why I don't like this track.
Feb 21 22:07:17 <KinGAleX> Because it starts with little energy.
Feb 21 22:07:21 <Yahoozy> Once someone's better, they're expendable.
Feb 21 22:07:28 <Yahoozy> I've always thought that way, at least.
Feb 21 22:07:32 <Yahoozy> Unless they're terribly unique.
Feb 21 22:07:47 <Tanner> Personally, I don't mind the break, KinGAleX.
Feb 21 22:07:48 <KinGAleX> For defs.
Feb 21 22:07:53 <Tanner> And I really like this part.
Feb 21 22:07:59 <KinGAleX> I find it tiresome.
Feb 21 22:08:02 <Borealis> All the best drummers have unique nuances.
Feb 21 22:08:02 <KinGAleX> Don't like this kind of music.
Feb 21 22:08:18 <KinGAleX> It's like low-tempo Tool played through a Twin Reverb.
Feb 21 22:08:27 <Tanner> Would you have gone right to this part?
Feb 21 22:08:29 <Yahoozy> Brian Chippendale will forever be my favorite drummer.
Feb 21 22:08:31 <Yahoozy> That's energy.
Feb 21 22:08:34 <Yahoozy> It blows my mind.
Feb 21 22:08:36 <KinGAleX> Sure would've.
Feb 21 22:08:40 <Tanner> Hmm.
Feb 21 22:08:43 <KinGAleX> But I would have led in with this riff.
Feb 21 22:08:51 <KinGAleX> And less of the metalcore guitar harmonies.
Feb 21 22:09:09 <Borealis> The vocalist doing his best job here I think.
Feb 21 22:09:09 <Tanner> But isn't why Mastodon is so fantastic?
Feb 21 22:09:20 <Tanner> Because they blend all styles?
Feb 21 22:09:32 <KinGAleX> Haha maybe to you.
Feb 21 22:09:35 <KinGAleX> I never called 'em fantastic.
Feb 21 22:09:36 <KinGAleX> They're listenable, yeah.
Feb 21 22:09:39 <Yahoozy> This /really/ souds like Tool.
Feb 21 22:09:50 <KinGAleX> Actually sounding like late Coheed and Cambria to me.
Feb 21 22:09:56 <KinGAleX> Same guitar tone and delay.
Feb 21 22:10:04 <Borealis> Yes.
Feb 21 22:10:15 <KinGAleX> Same uninteresting guitar lines.
Feb 21 22:10:15 <Tanner> I'd have to go check but I'm pretty sure Blood Mountain made your best of list for '06, KA.
Feb 21 22:10:17 <Borealis> With that annoying distortion as well.
Feb 21 22:10:26 <Yahoozy> One of the Tool dudes will make an appearance on the new Isis.
Feb 21 22:10:28 <KinGAleX> I'll check, man.
Feb 21 22:10:52 <KinGAleX> Nope, it wasn't in my top ten.
Feb 21 22:10:57 <Tanner> Huh.
Feb 21 22:10:58 <KinGAleX> it would have been top fifteen.
Feb 21 22:11:04 <Borealis> Indeed, it's only a short contribution.
Feb 21 22:11:25 <KinGAleX> I'd totally rehaul that list, thinking back now.
Feb 21 22:11:33 <KinGAleX> Mars Volta'd be out of there.
Feb 21 22:11:37 <Borealis> That chromatic tapping lick annoys me.
Feb 21 22:11:39 <Yahoozy> I hate making yearly list.
Feb 21 22:11:40 <KinGAleX> As would Flaming Lips and Mountain Goats.
Feb 21 22:11:46 <Borealis> Well, irks.
Feb 21 22:11:49 <Tanner> Hindsight is 20/20.
Feb 21 22:11:54 <KinGAleX> Totally.
Feb 21 22:11:56 <Yahoozy> I always feel that I have to pluck an album I didn't even really enjoy and place it in the list because there's nothing else.
Feb 21 22:12:13 <KinGAleX> Eh, I think I listen to enough to warrant not doing that.
Feb 21 22:12:16 * Tanner is listening to Capillarian Crest by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 22:12:20 * Yahoozy is now listening to: Mastodon - Capillarian Crest
Feb 21 22:12:25 <KinGAleX> That said I've heard about five or six albums from this year already.
Feb 21 22:12:27 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Capillarian Crest"
Feb 21 22:12:28 <KinGAleX> And haven't enjoyed any of them greatly.
Feb 21 22:12:30 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Capillarian Crest, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:08 / 04:25] 269kbps
Feb 21 22:12:38 <KinGAleX> I do like the vocals in this track.
Feb 21 22:12:48 <KinGAleX> So obvious and straightforward.
Feb 21 22:12:56 <KinGAleX> And a good almost black metal growl there.
Feb 21 22:12:59 <Yahoozy> Tanner, will you be around for another listen after this one?
Feb 21 22:13:10 <Tanner> Doubtful.
Feb 21 22:13:17 <Yahoozy> Meh.
Feb 21 22:13:18 <Tanner> What did you have in mind?
Feb 21 22:13:27 <Yahoozy> Lightning Bolt.
Feb 21 22:13:33 <Yahoozy> I couldn't do Refused.
Feb 21 22:13:38 <Yahoozy> Not after this drumming.
Feb 21 22:13:45 <Tanner> Some other time.
Feb 21 22:13:50 <Yahoozy> There is a complete absence of good drumming on that album.
Feb 21 22:13:53 <Tanner> Ooh.
Feb 21 22:13:56 <Tanner> KinGAleX?
Feb 21 22:13:59 <Tanner> This part>
Feb 21 22:14:18 <Yahoozy> This is a very KinGAleX part.
Feb 21 22:14:24 <KinGAleX> Not really.
Feb 21 22:14:29 <KinGAleX> It's an old KinGAleX part.
Feb 21 22:14:30 <Borealis> Drumming is a bit generic in this bit.
Feb 21 22:14:33 <Yahoozy> This isn't a very KinGAleX part.
Feb 21 22:14:56 <KinGAleX> I do dig the left panned tapping thing.
Feb 21 22:14:59 <Yahoozy> I hate the vocals here.
Feb 21 22:15:02 <KinGAleX> But yeah, drumming was poorly executed.
Feb 21 22:15:05 <KinGAleX> I like these vocals.
Feb 21 22:15:09 <KinGAleX> And the right pan was unnecessary.
Feb 21 22:15:16 <Yahoozy> Why are we so different? ;-;
Feb 21 22:15:19 <KinGAleX> Too cacophonic for me.
Feb 21 22:15:33 <KinGAleX> Not enough maximalism.
Feb 21 22:15:58 * AF (AF@wpe-27953E46.ptld.qwest.net) has joined #Music
Feb 21 22:16:26 <Yahoozy> AF, you should've listened to this with us.
Feb 21 22:16:36 <Yahoozy> That'd make 11 bands you can say you've listened to!
Feb 21 22:16:36 * Tanner is listening to Circle Of Cysquatch by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 22:16:46 <Yahoozy> Your musical compatibility with KinGAleX is Very Low
Feb 21 22:16:47 * Borealis np Mastodon "Circle of Cysquatch"
Feb 21 22:16:51 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Circle of Cysquatch, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:03 / 03:19] 269kbps
Feb 21 22:17:00 <KinGAleX> That's strange.
Feb 21 22:17:01 <Yahoozy> There is literally nothing on this bar of compatibility.
Feb 21 22:17:07 <KinGAleX> The intro. was much louder than what came after.
Feb 21 22:17:10 <Yahoozy> Oh, wait.
Feb 21 22:17:14 <Tanner> I'm not a huge fan of this song.
Feb 21 22:17:14 <Yahoozy> This is an old account.
Feb 21 22:17:16 <Borealis> The intro I like.
Feb 21 22:17:37 <KinGAleX> I like the use of the opening lick as a bassy riff later on.
Feb 21 22:17:43 <KinGAleX> That's my kind of continuity thing.
Feb 21 22:17:46 <KinGAleX> That shit's all over my album.
Feb 21 22:17:50 <Borealis> Otherwise this could be a crossover thrash band from 1981.
Feb 21 22:18:09 <KinGAleX> Not enough palm muting.
Feb 21 22:18:22 <KinGAleX> Oh, there we go.
Feb 21 22:18:24 <KinGAleX> That's palm muting.
Feb 21 22:18:27 <KinGAleX> Ewww.
Feb 21 22:18:29 <KinGAleX> Vocal effects.
Feb 21 22:18:30 <Borealis> Heh.
Feb 21 22:18:32 <Tanner> I realize why they did this distorted vocals part but I still hate it.
Feb 21 22:18:34 * KinGAleX crosses fingers.
Feb 21 22:18:59 <Yahoozy> Your musical compatibility with KinGAleX1 is Very High
Feb 21 22:19:00 <Yahoozy> Huh.
Feb 21 22:19:07 <KinGAleX> Who's you?
Feb 21 22:19:13 <Borealis> Go figure.
Feb 21 22:19:28 <Yahoozy> Lovely generic breakdown.
Feb 21 22:19:34 <Yahoozy> I dislike this part.
Feb 21 22:19:41 <Yahoozy> I'm Yahoozy, Alex.
Feb 21 22:19:45 <Yahoozy> My... fourth account?
Feb 21 22:19:51 <KinGAleX> Our compatibility is Very High?
Feb 21 22:19:51 <KinGAleX> Hahaha.
Feb 21 22:19:55 <Tanner> I just can't dislike a well-crafted if unoriginal breakdown.
Feb 21 22:19:58 <Borealis> Random chuggy parts. Feedback.
Feb 21 22:20:03 <Yahoozy> I'll add you.
Feb 21 22:20:05 <Borealis> Grrr.

Feb 21 22:20:08 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Bladecatcher"
Feb 21 22:20:09 <KinGAleX> BEST TRACK
Feb 21 22:20:15 <Borealis> By far!
Feb 21 22:20:15 <KinGAleX> Hands down.
Feb 21 22:20:18 <KinGAleX> Pants down.
Feb 21 22:20:18 <Tanner> Yeah.
Feb 21 22:20:19 <KinGAleX> No vocals.
Feb 21 22:20:22 <KinGAleX> Guitar soli.
Feb 21 22:20:23 <KinGAleX> <3
Feb 21 22:20:44 <Tanner> I'm still going to have to say Crystal Skull but this is a close second for me.
Feb 21 22:20:48 <Borealis> Interesting arpeggios as well!
Feb 21 22:20:55 <KinGAleX> Yeah.
Feb 21 22:21:03 <KinGAleX> Definitely some intelligent chord changes here.
Feb 21 22:21:09 <KinGAleX> Use of whole tone.
Feb 21 22:21:10 <KinGAleX> I dig.
Feb 21 22:21:16 <Yahoozy> The first track is still my favorite.
Feb 21 22:21:21 <KinGAleX> This is my favorite bit.
Feb 21 22:21:24 <Yahoozy> This one is very cool, though.
Feb 21 22:21:24 <KinGAleX> This bit coming up.
Feb 21 22:21:27 <KinGAleX> That blues modulation.
Feb 21 22:21:29 <KinGAleX> Fuckin' sweet.
Feb 21 22:21:37 <Tanner> Definitely.
Feb 21 22:21:53 <Yahoozy> This is Battles and Mastodon having sticky sex.
Feb 21 22:21:59 <Yahoozy> The vocal parts.
Feb 21 22:22:05 <Tanner> Psh.
Feb 21 22:22:50 <KinGAleX> Battles?
Feb 21 22:22:51 <KinGAleX> Gtfo.
Feb 21 22:22:59 <Yahoozy> Ygtfo.
Feb 21 22:23:03 <Yahoozy> Fu.
Feb 21 22:23:04 <KinGAleX> K.
Feb 21 22:23:10 <Tanner> The only part I'd fault on Bladecather is the end.

Feb 21 22:23:14 <KinGAleX> OH SHIT IT AINTS A NEW TRACK YET
Feb 21 22:23:17 <KinGAleX> I don't like that.
Feb 21 22:23:18 <Yahoozy> I like the end.
Feb 21 22:23:20 <Borealis> This song is too short though.
Feb 21 22:23:24 * Tanner is listening to Colony Of Birchmen by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 22:23:30 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Colony of Birchmen, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:00 / 04:19] 275kbps
Feb 21 22:23:31 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Colony of Birchmen"
Feb 21 22:23:47 <KinGAleX> This has got to be about Ents.
Feb 21 22:23:48 <KinGAleX> Straight up.
Feb 21 22:23:49 <KinGAleX> Ents.
Feb 21 22:23:52 <Borealis> The single.
Feb 21 22:23:55 <Tanner> Hell yes it is.
Feb 21 22:23:57 <Borealis> Couldn't you tell?
Feb 21 22:23:59 <Yahoozy> Your musical compatibility with TaffyTramp is Very Low
Feb 21 22:24:03 <Yahoozy> ;_;
Feb 21 22:24:10 <Yahoozy> This song isn't a favorite.
Feb 21 22:24:18 <KinGAleX> Single?
Feb 21 22:24:30 <KinGAleX> People still release those?
Feb 21 22:24:50 <Borealis> Hahahaha.
Feb 21 22:24:54 <Borealis> Yes it is odd.
Feb 21 22:25:38 <Tanner> It's not the best track but it does sort of summarize the "plot" of the album.
Feb 21 22:25:47 <Tanner> If ya get me.
Feb 21 22:26:03 <Borealis> Honestly I don't pay much attention to the vocals.
Feb 21 22:26:10 <KinGAleX> Unfortunately I'm not interested enough in the music to be interested in the plot.
Feb 21 22:26:14 <Borealis> They're definitely the weakest part of the band.
Feb 21 22:26:40 <Tanner> I'll lay it out for you.
Feb 21 22:26:46 <Tanner> The album's about Ents.
Feb 21 22:26:47 <Borealis> The guitar tone overall, across the whole album, just isn't right really.
Feb 21 22:26:49 <Tanner> Fuckin' Ents.
Feb 21 22:27:33 <Borealis> The tremolo picking bit ain't right.
Feb 21 22:27:39 * Tanner is listening to Hunters Of The Sky by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 22:27:47 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Hunters of the Sky"
Feb 21 22:27:48 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Hunters of the Sky, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:01 / 03:52] 270kbps
Feb 21 22:27:59 <Tanner> The musicians are coming down hard on this album.
Feb 21 22:28:02 <KinGAleX> Nah it ain't.
Feb 21 22:28:10 <KinGAleX> That's 'cause these guys don't have many chops.
Feb 21 22:28:18 <Borealis> I quite like this one.
Feb 21 22:28:23 <KinGAleX> To the layman, yeah, they've got more chops than Acca Dacca.
Feb 21 22:28:34 <Borealis> Hahahahaha.
Feb 21 22:28:34 <Tanner> Layman? Why, that's me!
Feb 21 22:28:49 <Yahoozy> Gahahahaha.
Feb 21 22:29:10 <Borealis> Paysage D'Hiver, now that's flawless tremolo picking.
Feb 21 22:29:23 <Yahoozy> There's an Acca Dacca street in Melbourne?
Feb 21 22:29:30 <Borealis> If you can hear it through the wasp-in-a-tin production.
Feb 21 22:30:03 <Borealis> This album seems to have been produced differently on some songs.
Feb 21 22:30:24 <KinGAleX> There is? That's a new one on me.
Feb 21 22:30:24 <Yahoozy> This is probably my third favorite.
Feb 21 22:31:14 <Yahoozy> Boring ending.
Feb 21 22:31:16 <Tanner> Mastodon ain't so good at ending a track.
Feb 21 22:31:19 <Yahoozy> Hah.
Feb 21 22:31:26 <KinGAleX> No.
Feb 21 22:31:28 <KinGAleX> Fadeouts are laaaaaame.
Feb 21 22:31:35 <KinGAleX> The only good fadeout ever is Siberian Khatru.
Feb 21 22:31:41 <KinGAleX> And it's only good because the rest of the song is so amazing.
Feb 21 22:31:47 <KinGAleX> That there's no way anyone could want it to end.
Feb 21 22:31:48 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Hand of Stone"
Feb 21 22:31:50 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Hand of Stone, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:09 / 03:30] 272kbps
Feb 21 22:31:54 * Tanner is listening to Hand Of Stone by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 22:31:59 <Borealis> The fadeout makes me sad.
Feb 21 22:32:15 <Borealis> Whatever happened to segue?
Feb 21 22:32:21 <KinGAleX> Indeed.
Feb 21 22:32:29 <KinGAleX> I've got 'em coming out of my asshole on my album.
Feb 21 22:32:33 <Yahoozy> Laziness happened to segue.
Feb 21 22:32:44 <Yahoozy> There's no practical reason to have a fadeout.
Feb 21 22:32:54 <Borealis> And don't even get me started on crossfade.
Feb 21 22:32:58 <Borealis> Grrr.
Feb 21 22:33:12 <KinGAleX> Oh, nah, no-one crossfades.
Feb 21 22:33:14 <KinGAleX> That's a joke, right?
Feb 21 22:33:40 <Borealis> Vsnares did when I saw him live. That annoyed me.
Feb 21 22:33:53 <Yahoozy> How's VSnares live?
Feb 21 22:33:59 <KinGAleX> Huh.
Feb 21 22:34:00 <KinGAleX> That's annoying.
Feb 21 22:34:18 <KinGAleX> Haha, I think we forgot to care about this album while we're listening to it.
Feb 21 22:34:21 <KinGAleX> 'Cause it's so unremarkable.
Feb 21 22:34:31 <Borealis> That bit from Hajnal, the jazzy bit into the breakcore.
Feb 21 22:34:38 <Borealis> But yeah, he's good.
Feb 21 22:34:38 <Yahoozy> OH GOD I LOVE THAT PART
Feb 21 22:34:46 <Tanner> Crossfades is gotta be different when you're running disks live, though.
Feb 21 22:34:56 <Borealis> I much preferred Otto von Schirach though.
Feb 21 22:35:04 <Yahoozy> This sounds very KinGAleX.
Feb 21 22:35:05 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Hunters of the Sky"
Feb 21 22:35:08 * Tanner is listening to This Mortal Soil by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 22:35:09 <Borealis> grr.,
Feb 21 22:35:11 <Tanner> ...
Feb 21 22:35:15 <Yahoozy> ...
Feb 21 22:35:21 * Borealis np: Mastodon "This Mortal Soil"
Feb 21 22:35:26 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - This Mortal Soil, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:15 / 05:00] 272kbps
Feb 21 22:35:27 <Borealis> BETTER?!
Feb 21 22:35:33 <Tanner> Better! :D
Feb 21 22:35:39 * Yahoozy is now listening to: Mastodon - This Mortal Soil
Feb 21 22:35:41 <KinGAleX> This is annoying.
Feb 21 22:35:45 <KinGAleX> Because it sounds like it's Opeth.
Feb 21 22:35:48 <KinGAleX> With flange.
Feb 21 22:35:53 <KinGAleX> I don't like flange.
Feb 21 22:35:54 <Tanner> <Yahoozy> This sounds very KinGAleX.
Feb 21 22:36:01 <KinGAleX> Well, I do like flange.
Feb 21 22:36:04 <KinGAleX> But I don't ike Mastodon using it.
Feb 21 22:36:11 <Tanner> Ahaha! >:(
Feb 21 22:36:16 <Yahoozy> This sounds very unlike anything KinGAleX would listen to.*
Feb 21 22:36:20 <Borealis> Flange pretty much works with Hawkwind and not much else.
Feb 21 22:36:22 <KinGAleX> Why did they do that intro?
Feb 21 22:36:28 <Yahoozy> This sounds moderately like something KinGAleX would listen to.*
Feb 21 22:36:28 <Tanner> I dunno!
Feb 21 22:36:29 <KinGAleX> It was completely different from the song, and uninteresting.
Feb 21 22:36:35 <Yahoozy> I like that vocal part.
Feb 21 22:36:45 <Yahoozy> It's very melodic.
Feb 21 22:36:46 <Tanner> Does it even count as an intro if it doesn't really introduce anything?
Feb 21 22:36:48 <Yahoozy> And I hate this part.
Feb 21 22:36:52 <Tanner> I like this part.
Feb 21 22:37:06 <KinGAleX> I don't like this track.
Feb 21 22:37:25 <Borealis> I like how we skipped "Hand of Stone".
Feb 21 22:37:31 <Borealis> That's pretty much unremarkable.
Feb 21 22:37:46 <Tanner> We had to address crossfades.
Feb 21 22:37:51 <Yahoozy> Hahahahaha.
Feb 21 22:37:51 <Tanner> It was important.
Feb 21 22:38:13 <KinGAleX> I did remark as to how unremarkable it was.
Feb 21 22:38:18 <Yahoozy> It's funny that Borealis was the first to say he wanted to do a listen to this.
Feb 21 22:38:26 * Calcy has quit (Quit: Leaving)
Feb 21 22:38:30 <Yahoozy> Tanner is the only one with something positive to say.
Feb 21 22:38:43 <Borealis> Only because Tanner proposed it.
Feb 21 22:38:44 <KinGAleX> Hey, I said I liked one track.
Feb 21 22:38:55 <Yahoozy> Oh, I thought you proposed it.
Feb 21 22:38:56 <KinGAleX> Haha.
Feb 21 22:38:56 <Tanner> I liked this album before I heard it harshed upon so.
Feb 21 22:38:57 <KinGAleX> It's Finally FRee.
Feb 21 22:38:58 <Tanner> D:
Feb 21 22:39:01 <KinGAleX> They're playing Finally Free.
Feb 21 22:39:02 <Yahoozy> Hahahahaha.
Feb 21 22:39:05 <KinGAleX> They're so doing it.
Feb 21 22:39:10 <KinGAleX> Take that, Dream Theater.
Feb 21 22:39:21 <Yahoozy> Because of this, Tanner, you have to accept my next five suggestions.
Feb 21 22:39:24 <Borealis> KA, sometime we need to do Bath and LYBM. Marathon.
Feb 21 22:39:28 <KinGAleX> Haha alright.
Feb 21 22:39:39 <Yahoozy> I'd join.
Feb 21 22:39:42 <Borealis> And anyone else!
Feb 21 22:39:47 <Yahoozy> I'll have to get the albums again.
Feb 21 22:39:55 <Borealis> This chorus is moderately interesting.
Feb 21 22:39:56 <Yahoozy> I haven't listened to motW in a year or so.
Feb 21 22:40:05 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Siberian Divide"
Feb 21 22:40:06 * Tanner is listening to Siberian Divide by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 22:40:13 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Siberian Divide, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:02 / 05:32] 273kbps
Feb 21 22:40:23 <Borealis> Hrmph. Metalcore intro?
Feb 21 22:40:25 <KinGAleX> This is one I listened to more than the rest of the album.
Feb 21 22:40:27 <KinGAleX> Because it's in seven.
Feb 21 22:40:54 <KinGAleX> Ugh.
Feb 21 22:40:56 <KinGAleX> Frustrating drums fills.
Feb 21 22:41:00 <Yahoozy> This one isn't bad.
Feb 21 22:41:01 <KinGAleX> Unnecessary.
Feb 21 22:41:07 <KinGAleX> And bad.
Feb 21 22:41:09 <Yahoozy> Not bad at all.
Feb 21 22:41:15 <Tanner> Man, I'm doing a musical by Sondheim. Everything's in seven/eight time.
Feb 21 22:41:16 <Yahoozy> The track, not the drum fills.
Feb 21 22:41:22 <KinGAleX> Mmm.
Feb 21 22:41:28 <KinGAleX> Seven's easy.
Feb 21 22:41:38 <KinGAleX> Fuckin' Tom's written something in 19/16 at 240 bpm.
Feb 21 22:41:48 <KinGAleX> 3, 3, 3, 5, 5.
Feb 21 22:41:49 <Yahoozy> Fuckin' Tom!
Feb 21 22:41:51 <Tanner> Aha!
Feb 21 22:42:06 <Borealis> Alright if you're Meshuggah.
Feb 21 22:42:17 <KinGAleX> Granted i've got a guitar intro that alternates 11/4 and 7/8.
Feb 21 22:42:25 <KinGAleX> And 5s everywhere.
Feb 21 22:42:33 <KinGAleX> Nah, we've got some Meshuggahy bits.
Feb 21 22:42:36 <KinGAleX> Long developing 4s.
Feb 21 22:42:43 <Yahoozy> We're going to sound like such music nerds when this goes on the forums.
Feb 21 22:42:44 <Borealis> We did once have one in 11/8.
Feb 21 22:42:52 <Borealis> That's about as complicated as it went.
Feb 21 22:43:01 <KinGAleX> Eh.
Feb 21 22:43:05 <Yahoozy> But being a music nerd technically makes you cool.
Feb 21 22:43:06 <KinGAleX> One of the intros is 13/8 10/8.
Feb 21 22:43:09 <KinGAleX> Over and over.
Feb 21 22:43:13 <Yahoozy> Hm.
Feb 21 22:43:24 <KinGAleX> Into 6/4.
Feb 21 22:43:26 <Borealis> The interlude is as well.
Feb 21 22:43:32 <KinGAleX> And then to 15/4 after that.
Feb 21 22:43:33 <Borealis> Between Fighting...
Feb 21 22:43:39 <Borealis> Isn't it?
Feb 21 22:43:47 <Yahoozy> What's happening with these vocals?!?!?
Feb 21 22:43:54 <KinGAleX> Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Feb 21 22:43:55 <Yahoozy> My eardrums just melted.
Feb 21 22:43:58 <Yahoozy> This part sounds like Tool.
Feb 21 22:44:00 <KinGAleX> I like them.
Feb 21 22:44:03 <Borealis> Ah right.
Feb 21 22:44:20 <Tanner> Again, I'm a sucker for a breakdown.
Feb 21 22:44:25 <Tanner> I have problems.
Feb 21 22:44:42 <KinGAleX> This one'sa very black metal breakdown.
Feb 21 22:44:46 <Borealis> I've played one of those Ibanez 8-strings they use.
Feb 21 22:44:49 <KinGAleX> But unfortunately without the other black metal staples.
Feb 21 22:45:06 <KinGAleX> I don't even like downtuning.
Feb 21 22:45:11 <Yahoozy> Speaking of black metal.
Feb 21 22:45:15 <KinGAleX> But we've got a few in D and one in drop C, I think.
Feb 21 22:45:21 <Yahoozy> Do you guys have Dead as Dreams by Weakling?
Feb 21 22:45:25 <Borealis> Yeah, ...Savage.
Feb 21 22:45:30 <KinGAleX> Yeah.
Feb 21 22:45:37 <KinGAleX> the black metal one's in C standard, too.
Feb 21 22:45:39 * Tanner is listening to Pendelous Skin (Hidden Track) by Mastodon (Blood Mountain).
Feb 21 22:45:42 <Borealis> See, I remember!
Feb 21 22:45:45 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Pendulous Skin, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:00 / 22:15] 260kbps
Feb 21 22:45:46 <Tanner> Throwaway track.
Feb 21 22:45:46 <Yahoozy> Because I want to do a listening to that at some time.
Feb 21 22:45:46 <KinGAleX> Yeah.
Feb 21 22:45:56 <Yahoozy> The next two are, Tanner.
Feb 21 22:46:08 * Borealis np Mastodon "Pendelous Skin".
Feb 21 22:46:08 <KinGAleX> I need to send you the updated version, Bor.
Feb 21 22:46:12 <Tanner> I don't think we need to go all the way to hear Homme fanboy up.
Feb 21 22:46:15 <KinGAleX> You'd better have RSE.
Feb 21 22:46:17 <KinGAleX> Or it's just not the same.
Feb 21 22:46:24 <KinGAleX> No way I'm listening to all of this track, man.
Feb 21 22:46:39 <Borealis> Hahaha.
Feb 21 22:46:44 <Borealis> Resounding fail?
Feb 21 22:46:48 <Yahoozy> Borealis and KA are having a completely seperate conversation intertwined with this listening.
Feb 21 22:46:52 <Yahoozy> YOU GUYS BETTER STOP
Feb 21 22:46:53 <Borealis> I do have RSE, yes.
Feb 21 22:47:22 <KinGAleX> Good, good.
Feb 21 22:47:29 <KinGAleX> 'Cause I've written some qicked shit.
Feb 21 22:48:00 <Borealis> I have RSI as well.
Feb 21 22:48:03 <Borealis> :(
Feb 21 22:48:04 <KinGAleX> Haha.
Feb 21 22:48:08 <KinGAleX> So do I, actually.
Feb 21 22:48:09 <KinGAleX> From using tongs.
Feb 21 22:48:30 <KinGAleX> Anyway.
Feb 21 22:48:32 <KinGAleX> I'm done with this album.
Feb 21 22:48:34 <KinGAleX> This is the worst track.
Feb 21 22:48:43 <Borealis> And the last one!
Feb 21 22:48:56 <Yahoozy> Borealis.
Feb 21 22:49:03 <Yahoozy> Is Tiamat's new album good?
Feb 21 22:49:14 <Yahoozy> Man, this listening has spiraled into nothingness.
Feb 21 22:49:21 <Borealis> Joking, yeah?
Feb 21 22:49:22 <Yahoozy> We haven't actually talked about this album for ten minutes.
Feb 21 22:49:29 <Yahoozy> No, I don't have it. ;-;
Feb 21 22:49:41 <Borealis> Tiamat after Wildhoney = *thumbsdown*
Feb 21 22:49:44 <Tanner> Eh, if Mastodon's bad at ending tracks, they're equally bad at ending albums.
Feb 21 22:49:49 <Yahoozy> I thought so.
Feb 21 22:49:53 <Borealis> Haha, true.
Feb 21 22:49:59 <Yahoozy> Interestingly enough, I only /have/ Wildhoney.
Feb 21 22:50:16 <Yahoozy> I guess that's a good thing.
Feb 21 22:50:27 * Borealis np: The Tangent "Lost in London 25 Years Later"
Feb 21 22:50:30 <Borealis> Alex!
Feb 21 22:50:38 <Tanner> Alright. Close enough.
Feb 21 22:50:41 <KinGAleX> Yay!
Feb 21 22:50:41 <Tanner> Durn!
Feb 21 22:50:43 <KinGAleX> That's a good album!
Feb 21 22:50:45 <Borealis> "For some strange reason we decided to talk about sex..."
Feb 21 22:50:48 <Borealis> :p
Feb 21 22:50:57 <Yahoozy> DEAR MASTODON I LIKE WHEN YOU END ALBUMS WITH PRETENTIOUS RECORDINGS. I'M LYING. IT'S FUCKING TERRIBLE.
