What are CoL first two albums like? I love somewhere along the highway, but Salvation is a bit overated. Apparently the beyond is pretty good, but I want to hear what you experts think.



Well, Somewhere Along the Highway is probably their most realised album they've released, but both their s/t and Beyond are solid albums. Respectively better than Salvation. These earlier albums are not quite as free and flowing as their latest, and take a little step back in regards to the post-rock influence,  it's clearly there but not as pronounced. Their first album is a probably a little more hardcore influence, I think this more in ferocity of the album than anything else, so not a detractor. I listen to the s/t more so, but The Beyond  offers a more varied platter and continues to show the bands growing confidence to progressive forwards.

Horses of the Sky is officially mine and . . . what am i listening to?! I think i like it but its such a surprising CD and nothing like GY!BE really. Efrim's vocals aren't too bad and are actually quite charming and warm.

EDIT - Haven't seen them mentioned yet, but the band Shora from switzerland sounds pretty cool and from what ive heard on their myspace i like it. Anyone heard a full release?

I think of Sunn0))) as more of a performance art piece than an actual band.
Their whole shtick is like metal therapy... i've heard that a Sunn0))) concert is the ultimate headache cure.

a Sunn O))) song can run from 5 minutes to 48 minutes....and they're all summed up in a similar manner:


brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


They do change chord once every few minutes Wink


that's Earth you're thinking of Wink

there is an incredibly stark difference between Dirge's drone and Sunn 0)))'s drone, in that the latter's is ONLY drone, not even post metal....Dirge use it within the confines of their songs, Sunn 0))) use it AS their songs

yep, both "55:12" and "Rest" are amazing. I personally found a lot of TALK TALK influence in them, hence I like them patiently

Gregor Samsa is one of my best discoveries in the last two weeks. The most epic shoegazer music I've ever heard, and the female vocals are sooooo cute!!
