Matrim Fox Cauthon Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 "Bell Boy" was the only track (out of the entire double-album) on it that I kept coming back too. Otherwise, the whole thing was too long and too lacking.Seriously? That's usually the track that most audiophiles dislike, while praising the others. You must be weird.

PestilencE Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Been playing mainly Within Temptation's latest - The Unforgiving, a bit heavier than expected, but still a wonderful album - with my regular healthy dose of Epica mixed in.I'm quite a big fan of WT. The Unforgiving was a huge letdown. Terribly bland and samey, with nothing memorable. Also don't know what you're getting at with "heavier than expected", since it's their lightest album by far.

fitheach Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Currently immersing myself in music from the early 70's that I haven't heard yet. I feel like there's an near-universal opinion that the music from that era (circa '69-'75) was the best ever produced and I would like to decide for myself if I can dig it.I'm listening to them in batches and this was the first batch of albums that I listened to:Roxy Music - For Your PleasureBrian Eno - Taking Tiger MountainYes, and yeeeeessss!!! :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be weird.ah weird. yes, weird is good ;) Anyway, I guess I dislike The Who in general with the exception of a few (of their more popular) songs that are pretty great.Yes, and yeeeeessss!!! :bowdown:Loving Roxy Music. Not digging Brian Eno a whole lot though. Not that album and I remember not being crazy about Another Green World either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski the Swift Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I agree, I love his solo stuff. I must have listened to Glimpses a thousand times...Glimpses and Truth are probably the best two tracks from the album, not that I do not love the rest of the album. It is pretty solid. At the moment I've got the new Fleet Foxes album going, it suits the weather around my way at the moment really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider From Mars Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Currently immersing myself in music from the early 70's that I haven't heard yet. I feel like there's an near-universal opinion that the music from that era (circa '69-'75) was the best ever produced and I would like to decide for myself if I can dig it.Right now here's what I'm taking on:Alice Coltrane - Journey in SatchidanandaArt Ensemble of Chicago - Les stances à SophieBrian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)Ennio Morricone - Giù la testaGenesis - The Lamb Lies Down on BroadwayJoão Gilberto - João GilbertoMarvin Gaye - Let's Get It OnSantana - AbraxasStevie Wonder - Talking BookYes - FragileLoving the Alice Coltrane album the most so far! Some of the best piano-based jazz I've ever heard.The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is a great choice to get introduced to Genesis’ early stuff.Fragile is a good pick for some of the more accessible Yes songs, but if you like “cosmic rock” I would check out Close to the Edge (1972) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuroishi Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 And now you have utterly mortally wounded me.I kind of feel the same for the Who, I never really got into them. It's the same for the Kinks, even if I feel like I'm warming up to them with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sure to post my impressions here and the other 70's albums I've been taking on lately.Bill Callahan - ApocalypseBill Calahan is so great. Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle was so beautiful and one of the best albums of 2009. Anyone remotely interested in Folk/Country/Americana music should check that album out.
