Troof. I just haven't been very active in my search recently haha

There is so much stuff it's impossible to keep up with. Since I started trying to come up with my top metal albums of the year lists I've been listening to 5-10 new albums per day. I've gone through hundreds of albums already. I'm on like music overload.

Man you must spend a fortune.

Ha, you would be amazed. I download a lot of music, but I still spend a fortune on albums. When I find a really good band, I add all their albums to a list and then purchase them over time.

I don't. I don't think I've bought a CD since 2007.

What kind? Or all kinds?

pretty much all kinds. doom, sludge, stoner, post-Meat Puppets "desert music"...any of those subgenres that feature Great Big Chords Played Painfully Loud and Slowly. i like power, but i also like melody, counterpoint, and subtlety.

i'm not saying it's BAD, or that other people shouldn't enjoy it...it's just boring to me, that's all.

Oh man. I love some desert rawk.

From the Kyuss/QOTSA split

I love the doomy Kyuss stuff but prefer QOTSA

I really dig QOTSA, Songs for the Deaf is a classic album. I don't like Kyuss so much. I feel like I appreciate and like what they're doing, but somehow don't enjoy how they go about doing it...if that makes any sense at all.

I enjoy some really sludgy doom-metal in the vein of Sleep and Sunn O)))))))))))))) but have yet to really delve into that general area.

I like doom that pushes limits and isn't affraid to explore time, space, etc. Khanate, Monarch! are both great examples.

I also dig OCEAN. Their tracks are like a huge journey with such interesting movements

Snipelfritz - I feel you on that. For me I love the instrumental aspects of Kyuss but John Garcia's voice has a little to much southern raunch or something for my taste. The solos can be a little sloppy for my liking too. I like a little sloppy but sometimes they just sound.. messed up.

They were awesome when I saw them live though and I love them despite my little gripes with them.

Sleep is freaking awesome too. I saw them and I went blind like halfway through the show. It was so cool like going blind and all trippin out while they're playing.. Totally magnified the experience.

I need to check out some Sunn O))). I've never listened to them but I know a lot of you guys do

I think that Flight of the Behemoth by Sunn is one of the most DENSELY mixed albums ever. You can KIND of hear strumming in the background, but the way that they mixed and submixed everything is just so fucking heavy. That album is also how I got started in noise- with Merzbow making an appearance on that album too.

I really like Khanate because silence and the sounds IN BETWEEN the notes were just as important as the actual notes being played. Monarch! just play so fucking slow

Another doomy band I dig is Harvey Milk. The way he uses feedback is so inspirational. It's a huge part of the guitar tone and he just rides the feedback into solos and makes notes out of it. It's really crazy stuff

I've got some listening to do.

I also really liked the Bongripper songs I checked out. I know one of the members posts here from time to time so I checked them out and they're rad.

Yeah their bass player Ron posts here from time to time. One of their guitar players (Nick) posts on Doomed Forever Forever Doomed. He's a nice guy as well.

THEY TUNE TO G

I'm totally down with hour-long songs like Flood, Feedbacker, Eve, etc. but I get tired of Sabbath riffs at 40bpm kinda easily.

Flood is awesome, the movements are sooooo good.
