And then i have Yessongs which was their first live album.

Yeah, after some Doctor Who I will look at the rest of the songs. With my recent obsession with Doctor Who, I was curious about any bands that have made any songs for the franchise but only came across one song. Would have expected a lot more to be honest.

Ya know. I never really got "into" Doctor Who...dunno why.

Every time someone reminds me of Yes, I immediately get the acapella version of "Leave It" stuck in my head for hours on end.

Which I will share for you now!

Some badass stuff we haven't mentionned recently :

Bongripper - Satan

Never forget badass music :)

All are excellent albums....but I got to go with Selling England by the Pound. Dance of the Moonlit Knight, Firth of Fith, and The Battle of Epping Forest are easily some of the best tracks they have ever done. If you can only get one album, it's this one, but the others I mentioned are definitely worth checking out.

I two, am enjoying Selling England By the Pound so far. Rather interresting album, even though some of the tracks do feel like fillers to me. I'll also check out The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway sometime.

It also seems to me that the fans of older Genesis material do not like the late work with Phil Collins. Why is We Can't Dance getting so much bad critics ? I like it. I think it's a rather good rock album. More pop-oriented then the earlier efforts, and less progressive for sure. But if we look at it as one album and not a part of Genesis discography, it's pretty cool.

Love the Bongripper song. Never got around to listening to Smile for some reason...never really understood why. Hell I didn't listen to all of Flood or Heavy Rocks til recently xD

Speaking of Bongripper. Has anyone here gotten around to listening to Sex Tape/Snuff Film yet? I downloaded it last night and listened to it before I went to bed and thought it was alright.

Out of these three, Heavy Rocks is the most amazing. Flood and Smile are pretty much alright. I think I like Smile better.

Is it in the vein of Satan Worshipping Doom ? Because if it is, I really want it :) Not that I hate their earlier work, but SWD is one of my favorite albums of all time. I think it's the biggest, baddest and greatest Doom Metal ever :)

Heavy Rocks was pretty awesome...for some reason Flood seemed to drag on in parts. I dont know why though. I mean I listen to songs that are more than double the length of the longest song on that album all the time.

Satan Worshipping Doom is fucking epic dude! I also like Great Barrier Reefer.

I know what you mean. Some parts have too slow progressions with very little elements brought in at a very slow-pace. They do have good Sludge/Drone/Doom tracks though. The album Absolutego never drags on any part. But Flood does lack on some parts.

I will agree with you on that part. You'd think a song as long as Absolutego would drag on a bit even if its a little in the middle or something but everything just seems to work out great.
I need to listen to Vein, Feedbacker, and Akuma no Uta again...

Okay dude. I shall await your response ._.

This track I love a lot. While it maintains its main subgenre, I do feel a bit of other forms of extreme metal are subtly thrown in this track. Easily my personal pick out of the four..

I still love that trippy artwork.

they just did the SummerSlaughter tour with Cannibal Corpse and Job for a Cowboy and maybe some of you saw em.

Don't you like the whole album ? Except for the last track, they are all pretty much in the same vein. It's all about heavy, crushing, badass slow doom metal with a great progression. Only difference is that the last track opens with a droney intro, which could bother some fans who aren't into this genre. So why not like the whole album equally ?

Great great great cover. I want this album so bad :)

I don't know them. Maybe I would have discovered them at the Summer Slaughter Tour if it wasn't for all the generic deathcore bands they sign every year to sell more tickets to fist-swinging kids with big caps and plugs in their ears. I hope the line-up is good next year. And I'll check that band Dead Man's Hand for ya!

Already enjoying it to death. Metal has taken a bit of a backseat lately just for this. Infact, I've not bought any CDs in a month now. I really am slipping here.

Don't get me wrong, I do like the album as a whole but I feel the track Satan just does a little more than the rest. I do express good thoughts towards Hail and Worship as well as Satan. Hopefully you understand that the last track Doom might be a little heavy for me at times as I'm not much for the drone aspects of metal but I'll still listen to it time and time again.

Same. Somehow I keep thinking I actually have this on CD but it was only a download from my sister seeing as the physical release isn't easy to find. Well, maybe vinyl isn't a problem but CD, hardly even see it. The problem with vinyl is that the shipping costs can be extreme when buying them overseas. Just getting a vinyl from Germany can be something like £8 just for the postage cost alone.

Id say checking out stuff like Fragile, The Yes Album, and Relayer first if you want. But thats just me. Most of their other stuff is good too. Although The Yes Album was the first album of theirs I listened to.

The last cd I bought was Era Vulgaris not too long ago...I need to buy more CDs.
Also Led Zeppelin is releasing their 2007 reunion show in November :3 so im looking forward to that.
Also The Sword has revealed the album artwork for their newest album Apocryphon which is set to be released October 22nd

The vinyl is easier to get ? Well that's weird. How can an independant band find the money to put on extravagant stuff like vinyls in our modern era ? It sucks that I cannot find the album myself... I'd like to support this band and get a physical copy of this one. The artwork is just great. It holds everything the aesthetics of the music has.

I think Heavy Rocks and Pink are tied for best Boris album, but Heavy Rocks 2, Smile,
Amplifier Worship, Akuma no Uta, and Altar are all good, too. I'm not much into Absolutego or Flood or Feedbacker. I've never heard Dronevil or any of the stuff with Merzbow.

I've posted this thread about Genesis on the general forums, and it doesn't seem to get much attention. If you guys are interrested, I'd like to have your opinion on this.

Easy Lover is easily my favorite Genesis song. Peter Gabriel sings so well on it.

I don't know much about Genesis, but I'm a fan of Steve Hackett's solo work, and I love the song Firth of Fifth. And I've liked what I've heard from Genesis.

I was going to look around for more Yes albums while I was at the place where I got that but I had to hurry up because the only reason I was in that town was because my brother has to go to a dentist there for some reason and he called my dad saying he just got out...they DID have I wanna say Yesterdays and Tales From Topographic Oceans though.

hey Sensey, did you check out Nyne?

Came across it online a few times but CD, not a sound. The lack of physical releases makes me even sadder for this band since the artwork is easily something worth having on CD/vinyl so why no good accessibility to get them? Hopefully they sign onto a big record label and then they'll have them printed with ease.

I only started a few weeks ago and since I still have loads to explore, that is why I'm avoiding the club thread itself until I've caught up on the latest episode.

So I just found out a former member of The Obsessed and Pentagram died not too long ago...
No idea how I could have missed that.

It's a shame such reports go unnoticed. This is something Blabbermouth should have picked up but as far as they go, they like to report useless information about Phil Anselmo and Sharon Osbourne before expressing concerns about this.

just popping in to say hi and hope all is well with everyone
things are continuing to go quite well for me lately
been on a lucky streak for a couple weeks now
not used to this but loving every minute of it
been making more friends in the music world which is way cool
also in the writing world as well
making old dreams come true....loving this
will be posting a new song from Infinite Torture within he next 2 days
different for me
new track will be liked by fans of Jesu and the like
lil over 15 minute long dark ambient industrial shoegaze tune
just need to record the vocals and my guitar parts and it's done
think it may catch those familiar with my other work off guard
well, back to it
will post it here when it's done
have a great one
huggggggggggggggggggggggggs because
see ya soon
Keep it HEAVY

I've yet to listen to Dronevil -Final- with two stereo systems at the same time. I think that should be a pretty cool experience :)

And em, why is it that Metal Archives has archived them as Boris (aka Boris with Merzbow). He worked on 3 full-length albums with them, and was a session musician for one track on another record by them. In the end, they've worked on 23 full-length records without him...

It seems Bongripper are willing to be independent forever. What do they have now... something like five full-length albums so far and they don't have a label yet. But some labels make artists suck so bad, it may not be a bad thing for them not to get signed.
