11/13/01 GREAT new music...

[JD@af]

This past Tuesday, the new Sevendust album, "Animosity" hit record store shelves. This is one awesome album. I highly recommend it. And though Sevendust is traditionally a metal band (they sure put on a killer, heavy show), this album is significantly lighter and mellower than their older stuff. Those of you who don't consider yourselves metal fans might even want to check this out. You can catch their first single, "Praise" on the radio.

Rob Zombie also came out with an album (called "The Sinister Urge") on Tuesday, but I've been so wrapped up in Sevendust that I haven't even listened to it yet.

Like Staind, whose new album ("Break the Cycle") this past May was also excellent, these bands seem to be taking a turn towards the lighter side of heavy metal, and rumors are that the new Korn album (to be released early in 2002) will be much the same. Good thing that bands like Pantera and Slipknot stay true to their roots, to keep the flame of HARD heavy metal alive.

I remember seeing Pantera and White Zombie at a concert in a warehouse in Hawaii when I was there on holiday. It was awesome! Only a few feet from the front!

What were we saying before about over comercialisation of music?
Heavy metal has never been be very succesful as a comercial enterprise when compared with other types of music. About every 10 years it goes through a resurgance, but quickly fades away again.
As a result the bands have to change to maintian thier Market, or they wither die hoping that they can big again in 10 years. (i.e. Ozzie)

You could infer a lot of things about Heavy Metal from this, but I simply won't comment.

(Im just waiting to buy Echo's )

Yes, I am double-standard boy. I know very well what I am listening to, and that very few of these bands are not successful save for the said commercial standards in which they are enabled to sell records. I see that very clearly, and yet I still like the music. I am a typical, ignorant consumer when it comes to my metal. There are exceptions out there, like Tool, and I'll throw Pantera in there as well. But in general, I am sucked in. I just am able to step back and see it for what it really is.....

I'm actually looking to get the new Creed album coming next week. If Sevendust is anything like them, then I might look into it.

In addition to my previous post, I love the song "My Sacrifice" By Creed.

And, Garth Brooks just released his LAST (supposedly) album - Scarecrow.

THANK YOU MORPHEUS !!!!

Like most die-hard metalheads, it is my duty to give bands like Creed a hard time. But tell you what, they played an outstanding show with Sevendust two years ago in New Haven. And I personally love "My Own Prison."

I see Creed as an alternative to metal. Which I can't really listen to for too long a time. A little hit here and there, but not long. Creed got my undivided attention when they did that soundtrack for AE2001, I think it was called. Ever since, I've loved their music. Sevendust, they have a few songs I like, but I have to hear the whole cd before I would consider purchasing it. You know what, why don't you email a list of some of the songs to look out for and I'll DL from Morpheus. See what's what with it.

[JD@af]

I'll one up that and post a list of good tracks, for anyone else that's interested. Most of these are off the new album (I'll put those first):

Praise
Trust
Crucified
Xmas Day
Shine
Follow
Beautiful
Angel's Son

Denial
Waffle
Track 9 (off second album - I don't know the name of it, but it's IMO the best track on the album)

Too Close to Hate

If you get this list and don't like what you hear, then Sevendust is simply not for you. If you do like this stuff, you might want to give this band a genuine listen.

Metallica is going to be coming out with a new album, hopefully soon. (hetfield being in rehab and missing a bassist kinda makes it hard to make an album)
but anyhoo, i hope its good. So far, i've liked all of their other albums (yes, even Load and RE-Load, they are actaully quite good) so they should let me down this time around. Maybe a nice 20th anneversary box set or something next year would also be something to look forward to.

When I visit my mother, I'll download them to listen.

[AEstud]

Can someone send me the single(s) or hit(s) off of Seven Dust's new album?

[blatch]

I hate heavy metal . If you cared .
But i do like

alternative and punk.

But that pantera and other stuff that's just guitars and drums and screaming is stupid, everything i like is melodic.
