Random Music Talk CXV: Kill Em All

[GirlsAloudFan]

I disagree, vlad. I started with THB and it hit me as hard as any album I've ever heard. It was the perfect introduction. I do also think that Everything Must Go would be a fine intro if only because the songwriting is so damn strong there. I think Generation Terrorists is not that good of an entry point, to be honest.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Can confirm you're right. Man, these guys, they've always got something to bring to the table.

I think my favourite is If Rah, especially when Karl starts going off with 'LUNA LUNA LUNA LUNA LUNAAA', that's great, vintage Karl Hyde. I reckon I'll be listening to this album a fair bit.

I chose Generation Terrorists partly because the way they started was so intriguing, the whole 'we're going to sell 16 million of this album and then break up', it's not a perfect album by any means but there's so much excitement and passion in it.

Maybe just get Cobbler to listen to If You Tolerate This and Motorcycle Emptiness back to back to decide which side of the band he'd lean towards more.

did someone say, Luna?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

He could just listen to "A Design For Life" too, which is as big and accessible as any song they have.

Too early for me to single anything out, but yeah. Though I really do enjoy Motorhome.

 

[Mack_Again]

dammit nobody is talking about carpet stores.

 

[Axver]

Have you heard it Ax?

Not yet. I don't rate The Drones that highly. Hell, the one time I saw them live, the most notable part of the set was a cover. But I'll give it a go.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Also, Nylon Strung.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I find The Drones quite boring, frankly. Much an all as I might concur with their songwriter on some things, they're just a terribly boring band.

You're free to create a 'Random Carpet Talk' thread.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Agnostic on The Manic Street Preachers, but definitely open to being swayed at some point. Obviously I love the song 'If You Tolerate This (etc)'.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

How much of the discography have you heard?

 

[Kieran McConville]

How much of the discography have you heard?

That song.



Ok, in seriousness, a bunch of singles and maybe one album at one point (can't remember offhand which one). But you know, they're good and stuff.

yeah but my LUNA reference is only understandable to people around Chicago area.

Yeah, easy, I reckon if you like If You Tolerate This you should try This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours and Everything Must Go. I would say they're both good starting points for anybody if you've liked a hit song or two from that era.

I shall give them a try!

I stumbled upon this song on the subscription feed on YouTube and I actually like this.

 

[david]

Anyone listen to, know of, a band called Husband?

This band is pretty good - I hear them a lot on radio but have yet to listen to a full album. The song Dust from the upcoming album is excellent.

 

[Mack_Again]

I happen to come across this: Super-relevant non-asshole predicts the death of rap music · Newswire · The A.V. Club

well should've posted in Kendrick's thread but whatever.

 

[DaveC]

I can't stand these idiots. It was one thing to say it in 1986 but when a music genre has been around for 40 years it's not just going to evaporate like disco, as much as old racist assholes might find it irritating.

 

[Mack_Again]

Gene talking about rap is basically like my dad talking about metal.

hahah that's so good.

funny thing is Kendrick Lamar's worst song is about 17 million times better than anything Gene Simmons has "made"

 

[Hewson]

And Gene Simmons has again succeeded because he has people talking about his favorite subject...Gene Simmons.

if you replace the name of Gene Simmons to Donald Trump, the statement still holds true.

Rap/hip hop is the dominate musical genre. Has been for years. That guy is cray.

I tried listening to The 1975 this morning. Didn't make it through the second track.

I do quite like the new album from The Coral.
