Obituary-Cause Of Death and Vince Lupone's Screaming At The Abyss right now....

 

[eleven59]

I completely agree - Deadwing rocks, and at it's best (Glass Arm Shattering, Open Car prechorus and chorus, Lazarus, and the bonus track Shesmovedon which is originally from Lightbulb Sun, I guess) it just kills, but In Absentia is the slightly better sounding, more cohesive album.

Have you seen this yet? Deadwing Recording Documentary

It's basically the making of the album, and it's really cool to see them at work in the studio. And it makes me want a leslie rotating speaker cabinet like you wouldn't believe

 

[Drew]

Yeah, it's included as a bonus feature on the CD.

All Line6, incidentally, which convinces me that they're still not 100% there - the guitar tones on Deadwing aren't bad, but In Absential smokes it.

Is it all Line6? I definitely like the tones on In Absentia a bit better. I know they're endorsed by Bad Cat amps, but that's probably mainly for live use, right?

And they definitely used a real Leslie Rotating Speaker cabinet, because you can see it in the "Making Of" video (about halfway through, right after the keyboard stuff).

 

[Naren]

Currently listening to all instrumental stuff. Just in that mood. Random stuff by: Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, California Guitar Trio, and others.

 

[Shannon]

At home: Ron Jarzombek - Solitarily Speaking of Theoretical Confinement

In the car: Ratt - 8191 (yeah, with Donnie living with me, we're having 80s flashbacks lately).

 

[Donnie]

At home: Ron Jarzombek - Solitarily Speaking of Theoretical Confinement

Wow, that's crazy... I'm listening to the exact same thing!

 

[Metal Ken]

Dark Side of Phobos -- a compilation by a bunch of independant bands doing the music of the Game "DOOM". \m/

 

[Shannon]

Wow, that's crazy... I'm listening to the exact same thing!

Get away from my bedroom door!

 

[Shawn]

Satch.

 

[XIEmperorIX]

Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory

I don't think I could ever get tired of this album! Although I know there are people here who would disagree with me

 

[Flesh-EatingMonkey]

Joe Satriani-Crystal Planet

 

[Dark Tranquillity]

LTE - Universal Mind

 

[Drew]

Yeah, but can't you see the POD in front of it, too, in that scene, on the ground?

But if you check the liner notes, it does say "Recorded entirely with Line6 amplifiers.

 

[Shawn]

Joe Satriani-Crystal Planet

Awesome CD. I listened to it not too long ago.

Right now- Dio-Dream Evil.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Opeth - Atonement

Christ this is absolutely astounding stuff altogether. Anyone else hear the new Opeth?

 

[eleven59]

Yeah, but can't you see the POD in front of it, too, in that scene, on the ground?

But if you check the liner notes, it does say "Recorded entirely with Line6 amplifiers.

Well, that would confirm it lol Definitely looks to be a PODxt. Now that you mention it, I can definitely hear that "Line6 sound". Any idea what amp(s) he used on In Absentia?
