DSO is one of those bands with so much potential but just fall down on the execution. The production, in particular, could be used together with the intertwining guitar melodies to create something really special and never attempted in metal. But it's flat and lacking depth, and I don't know why...

I was almost at this phase a few weeks ago. I thought, well everyone likes them so they must be good. Then I heard someone else listening to "Hey Jude" (or June?) and thought it was the most insipid poppy rubbish I'd ever heard. That put me off checking them out for at least the next few years.

Nevermind and In Utero are so hard to choose between. I love Nevermind all the way through though, while In Utero has some boring parts even though it's probably the better album.

To complement the Nirvana poll. Tough one for me, toss up between the first three albums but I'll probably go for Vitalogy.

Still waiting for Black Mirror 2 to come out in English. If it doesn't I might have to learn German :D

I've seen it. It took me about 4 or 5 sittings to watch it. I don't think I could take it in one, it's quite oppressive though not as much as Damnation. Werckmeister Harmonies is my favorite of his, I still need to see Family Nest which I haven't got around to watching.

Fighting words indeed. :Smug:

You're missing out on two of his masterpieces - The Firstborn Is Dead and The Good Son. Nocturama also has some great songs like Bring It On which is one of my faves but the rest of the album is like The Boatman's call so if you like his softer stuff then get it.

I think it's great. It's different from anything they have done which is a good sign. And if the studio video is any indication they have taken an even darker direction which gives the title even greater significance.

Their contribution was much like Metallica's Black Album's contribution to metal. Making what the innovators had done and bringing it to a wider audience through their popularity.

Get rid of Kubrick and the asians and add Bela Tarr, Jacques Tati and James Whale.

Metalocalypse. Followed by every crime drama ever made.

:zombie: I don't even know where to start with the sheer incorrectness of this statement. I mean, hell, it's like saying that the metal genre started with Trivium. Utter blasphemy! Perhaps here would be a good place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_game Do not return, pass Go or...

Most overrated band in the history of western music. Hell, throw in eastern, northern and southern in there too!!

Green River Mudhoney Mother Love Bone All better than Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, who are in turn both better than AIC. Don't forget Neil Young who invented grunge.

Does this count?

He kinda looks like Klaus Kinski there.

Cheesy might not be the right word. I'd go with pretentious. They play with a sort of confidence that they're the only band doing this sort of music, when they know perfectly well there's not much that's original about it. It's enjoyable at times, other times it's drawn out and contrived and...

Classical and elevator music are pretty much on the opposite ends of the spectrum.

No 2nd chances. Samsara, MetalAges and UM have failed, that's all there is to it.
