And yet again, Grohl proves what a class act he really is. I saw that ....ing fall and that fracture had to be unbelievably painful. He just handled the whole thing like a ....ing boss.
Jakob and Tides from Nebula!
Suggested listening: Blind Them With Science (Jakob), Lonsome (Jakob), Oran Mor (Jakob), Higgs Boson (TFN) and Fall of Leviathan (TFN)...to start.
I agree with you on The Incident. I've never understood all the hate that album get's. I really liked it and thought it was another in a long string of solid albums. In fact, it really seemed like PT was just about to really gain some success when SW pulled this "I want to pursue a solo career...
I think we'll agree to disagree here. However, it's not a tough guy post. People are entitled to their opinion and I can respect that. I'm just passionate about my Porcupine Tree. :D I own all his stuff...even the solo albums. Some of the solo stuff I like. Some of it comes off as weak...
From what I have heard of this so far, I could not possibly give it a bigger MEH. As for any comparisons between SW solo and PT, give it up. Not one of his solo albums would even touch The Incident, so I won't even waist my time covering the titans like In Absentia, Deadwing, Lightbulb Sun and...
I think because my Mother passed so close to when I heard this it's always going to evoke a very powerful and melancholic response from me. I cannot think of a better example of the coexistence of beauty and immense sorrow.
And in my opinion THE greatest guitar solo ever written.
That would would be great so long as Dave was willing to hand over the writing reins to Waters, which would NEVER happen. Jeff destroys Dave as a writer and player and doubt he would enjoy being relegated to playing he same old tired riffs and songs that Mustaine has been putting out the last...
Haha. Yeah. let me clear up the Storm Corrosion comment because now that read it, it looks like I was going to bash it. But, quite the contrary. Drag Ropes and Storm Corrosion where amazing tracks and then I just felt like the rest of the album left me high and dry. Even after multiple revisits...
This. I think I listened to Raven for like the first month and then was just completely ....ing bored with it. As for the first two solo records, spotty would be my assessment. There are moments of really good material, but there are just as many "meh" moments. And I'm not even going to get...
Just because you don't consider this "music" can't "get into it" or are incapable or distinguishing a very clear melody in this, that does not change the fact that it very much is ambient music. Yes, it is atmospheric. Yes, it is minimalistic. The careers of Philip Glass and Steve Reich where...
Opeth, Devin, and while this doesn't qualify as an album I would be elated if Mr. Wilson would finally get off his ....ing solo trip after, yet, a fourth solo album, and offer us some hope of future plans for a new Porcupine Tree record.
