I normally don't lock a thread if it hasn't went downhill.We just keep the chat threads open until they start glitching,it's usually around page 1600 I think.

That was months or even over a year ago, Jody. M@X did some changes, and now threads usually exceeding 400-500 start to glitch and need a continuation. Or something happened (don't remember what) that made the Admins create a thread page limit rule or such.

I'm not entirely sure of this, but someone like David may know your question. I know he told me Death started Death Metal, but I'm not sure if they were the first ones to use the growl or not.

Well technically, one could make the argument that the "death growl" was around before death metal existed.

It's great for screeching noises. example: "My car's brakes are screeching so bad, it almost sounds like Geddy Lee."

Maybe you aren't in the right mood.
And I know. I love Ozric Tentacles, and they're kinda samey (though not as much as everyone says, since their albums DO differ from different eras). I don't find the songs particularly samey though, other than the fact they're by the same band and on the same album.

But maybe I'm just an intense person. I'm also always in the mood for Henry Cow, so maybe it's just me instead of it being just June.

If you didn't like Phaedra, that's what I expected.
Force Majeure is more like Stratosfear in the regard of being less "sleep-inducing" for your tastes, I would think. Not sure what else though...

Depends on your tastes and musical development, but I'm confident there's at least one niche out there for you that's occurring at the moment.
What have you tried?

I'm listening to Alpha Centauri, which is mindblowing. Not sure you'd like it though, haha, since it's pre-Phaedra. I'm going to go through all my TD albums in order without listening to anything else. Should be pretty sweet.

Radiohead (mild enjoyment, nothing I desperately feel like hearing again), Decemberists (some great tracks, but not consistent), Phideaux (really like him), a lot of retro-symph and some neo (initial enjoyment, but usually dies off after a while), some post-rock and post-metal (same as for Radiohead), extreme/tech metal (too br00talz), prog metal (I just feel saturated by most metal)
and probably some more.

I'm not too familiar with Phideaux... I wonder what would be good artists that are completely unique yet have a similar feel to his stuff?
I can understand your responses to the rest though. Sometimes you'd be surprised at how your taste develops over time; sometimes you never will enjoy some of the stuff. It completely depends.
Have you tried Ozric Tentacles?

Ah, okay. Only reason I mentioned that was because you seem to like TD's more "active" releases. Even though Ozrics aren't quite the same stylistically, it's the first thing that came to my mind.
Don't push yourself to like something that's modern. It will naturally develop, but I will tell you with confidence that there's tons of enjoyable, groundbreaking music out there---as much as there was in the 70s, I think. Just be open-minded to new stuff as well, which I'm sure you are.
I'm not entirely positive what to recommend you though, to be honest. What are you looking for, if anything (and if you actually want to hear anything new)?
