    this fucking song after 3m50s until 8m30s it's so complex that's probably why I can't find a live version of it... this entire section is cut out of all the live versions I've found...

    :catbreadcut:

    that band was pure insanity

    God Eno sucks so bad

    While I get Eno"s critics (Eno did release too much bad albums), he did release some beautiful albums. 

    fred again, his album actual life 3 has some sick tracks

    My dad had (and possibly still does have) a DVD that had a load of Peter Gabriel music videos on it and I remember sticking it on all the time as a kid and watching them all in amazement as well as loving the music.

    same

    and rediscovering it in my adulthood is really fun

    theres some moments in this album that is pure genius. Im not entirely surprised. His production skills are quite amazing. I also feel in recent years he did show a clear tendency for him to go, once in a while, in idm'ish areas. His sounds has been steadily progressing and evolving. Even back in 2011 here at watmm, i didnt totally agree with the skrillex bashing, but understood the critics.  I feel @usagi really capture well the critics around skirllex at the times. Today? I would disagree with such a portrayal of skrillex, as a artist.

     

    that said, this is pure pop for me. I would agree with anyone who dislike his new stuff: his vocals are cheesy often, often its repetitive and just pure pop. but still, I enjoy some of his stuff, unashamingly and find that he is quite a special voice in todays world of controlled main stream popular music, as sad as it is.

    I personally loved this song by skrillex released 5 years ago:

     

    this was released by skrillex two years ago; clearly, we are far from the 2010 skirllex:

    on the new album, i feel those are highlights:

    Concept: your you're living in 1986. what the **&& do you listen to?

    I was 5 this is hard, probably Mc hammer and vanilla ice lol ? those guys EMF, still like those 2 songs, I believe and unbelievable... don't remember if I was already into G'n'R... stuff from my parents like queen, Pink Floyd, dire straits... Metallica? Bon Jovi? everybody was into U2 but I didn't really like it that much... basically the worst music of that era... I think I need to shift this like 2 or 3 years forward...

    but thats not the concept that i mean. I have explained the concept in the first thread which was 1992 iirc.

    the concept is you are you, today, at your age. and you can only listen to music made until 1986. 

    ive been listening to music made before 1992 for months and months now. (apart from this week)

    but yeah, the concept is that you cna only listen to music released in 1986 or before.

    hard to believe i had never listened to this

    tempted to watch Downton Abbey just to confirm that I hate it. I think it's embarrassing how much of a thing it became irl and especially Stateside. it's an understood post-colonial phenomenon that the former "subjects", as it were, have a retroactive fascination with the history and culture of the people/institutions that subjugated them, e.g. the British monarchy and aristocracy. the difference is that the monarchy holds a certain mystique and grandeur (as it must in order to exist at all) which, when contrasted against human failings, provides interesting drama fodder. this is why I can casually watch and enjoy The Crown, which I hadn't expected I could do at all. the aristocracy on the other hand is nothing but human, and consisted of some of the biggest and most boring cunts to have ever walked the earth at that, so what is the appeal exactly?? a romantic reimagining of their meaningless self-important lives ought to hold no interest for ordinary people at all, but we live in a clownshow of a world and so it does.

    if you like ketamine, I highly recommend downtown abbey.

    is that how people set up speakers now? facing each other? 

    anyway, sounds like over the top commercial tunes aimed at the dancefloor.  isn't that what he's supposed to do? 

    right?

    facing speakers like that will cause phase cancellations issues.

    Slayer! I think the riff that comes in at 1:38 is possibly the funkiest thing I have ever encountered in a heavy metal song ?

    At one point I actually wanted to make an electronic cover of this called "Acid of Death" with the drums programmed on my TR-707 and the guitar parts played on 303's ?

     

    definitly the best slayer album for me. the best metal album ive ever heard!
