The third track is awesome, the rest is good but not great.

As for Gire.. musically its alright but the vocals are a bit off-putting, at least so far..

The only time I've been disappointed was when I downloaded some free space rock tracks from Last.fm, I came across the bands using the radio and checked them out. Otherwise I don't go very far out of my way to find the most ultra super rare bands ever.

It literally means sh*t boring, so basically it f**king sucks.

Yesh, it does. But if I'm going to work in a library in Helsinki, I guess I'd better know some of it

But interestingly, when I had my apprenticeship interview at Kirjasto 10 last week, I was told that there's pretty much no need to speak Swedish at all. And it's in the middle of the middle of the middle of Helsinki.

You know, I always forget that you actually may need Swedish some places in Finland. LOL

Yeah you don't really get to hear it in Kuopio

It's on PA!

What is Gire?

Free avant metal album: http://www.last.fm/music/Gire/Gire+%282007%29

Kind of like the heavier parts of motW's Bath without any softness; not anywhere near as good, but still worth a listen imo.

OAKI I WILL DO TEH LISTENINZ

I haven't been really disappointed with a free album yet, mainly because I either check out samples or go off recommendations. The worst one I have though is the Icarus The Owl album, they posted here on PA a while ago and I DL'd it out of interest. Basically sounds like really average punk pop with changing time signatures. I don't think I've ever actually listened to the whole thing, though.

The third track is f**king amazing. The rest of it is pretty decent too - and it is free.

(Yes, good music, and free Henry)

Meh. I don't think it's very good, but I didn't free self-released music is always bad. I said that finding free music that was worth listening to isn't worth my time and it annoys me that people spend so much time trolling for these minor bands (it seems this is especially a problem with the post-rock people) just because it's FREE.

No that is a fair point, and I admit there is some rubbish free music out there.

Watching it now; Much win for the The Queen Is Dead shirt, one of my favourite ever albums

I'm guessing Mike did the filming?

Yeah he was testing his new camera.

Yep, The Smiths are one of my favourite bands.

Even if it isn't really a metal album, I still think it belongs in Post metal. I think it would be a little misleading if it were placed under prog folk, I certainly wouldn't expect to find growls in a prog folk band.

Wouldnt you expect distortion and drums in a metal album, or even a rock album for that matter though? The vocals are where TEH PROGZ come in.

Good point, actually

I don't think they could really fit anywhere other than those two, though.

I just can't see Uaral being metal just because of one minute aspect. It would be like calling Dream Theater pop rock solely based on one ballad they wrote etc...

Oh that is what you guys are talking about. Didn't have a clue. LOL

Well, they are interesting at least, and if they don't make into PM, then I can see a move to Prog Folk maybe.
