I'm wanting to put together a list of my favorite metal albums at the end of the year, but I'm sincerely worried all my picks would be Flenser releases.

 

Are there any other labels consistently pumping out stuff of the same caliber?

 

Edit: I remembered Profound Lore. Any others?

Listened to Mastery - VALIS for the first time last night.

 

It's the fucking DEFINITION of insanity!

 

I can't even tell if I enjoy it, it's just bonkers.

 

Whew...

did we find out if this is a 2xLP or just 1?

 

Album is 52 minutes, which is doable for a single LP. (Obviously.)

 

I'd be surprised if he sprung for a double.

Ugh. Can't wait even that long.

 

My guess is that if Blacker The Berry is at all representative of this album, it might top GKMC.

Interesting. I don't see "i" on there anywhere.

 

Not really a huge fan of that song, but I though it was understood that it was for the next record.

 

Mother of god.... IT'S COMING THIS MONTH!!!

Eep.

Something something, bears on unicycles. Something something, backwards "R".

 

Anybody remember this from NFS:HP2?

 

One of the few nu-metal albums I remember really fondly. Might bust that shit out later tonight.

That's my records.

 

You don't really NEED all those copies of Deathconsciousness, do you?  

If you're into old school shoegaze- there are new boots of Verve's a Storm in Heaven (great album) popping up on ebay- originals go for $200ish. These are pressed onto 3 discs, and include B sides and demos. I've got one incoming- I'll let you know how it sounds.

 

3xLP? For reals? Goddamn.

 

The Verve gets shit on so much around here for Urban Hymns. Obviously by people who have never heard this album. So good.

Welp, this board will be largely unusable for the next few months.

 

Think I'll take a cooking class.

This thread never disappoints. Always great to see it.

 

 

Never have I ever scored on vinyl at a thrift store.

 

However, almost everything in my stereo cabinet was bought at Goodwill for under $10 a piece. With the exception of my turntable and my kickass Wharfedale 7.2's.

I feel like this is one of those situations where they "just should have known better" than to fuck with Pantera fans. I mean... That's a ballsy goddamn move; but then again, I'm from the area, and I know Pantera fans.

 

Yep. I've seen how fanatical Pantera fans can be. The reaction isn't surprising in the least.

 

It's just crazy how little people seem to care that there's this large group of people tossing out casual death threats over the internet.

That's messed up. Hate on someone all you want, but grave desecration is not cool under any circumstances.

 

That said, Pantera fans threatening violence and murder against these guys is fucking ridiculous. Jesus Christ.

Damn you people and your hot tapes!

 

What a loss...

I love you.

Oh, shit, bros! I forgot about new Team Sleep!

 

Yeah, probably no new Palms this year.

It's what I'd recommend to anyone who cries about the vocals in Deafheaven, but is still on board with the band otherwise.

 

Precisely the reason I enjoyed Known Flood.

I'm just now realizing how much music is coming out this year.

 

Radiohead

Kendrick Lamar

Deftones OR Palms (I could take either. Deftones seems more likely.)

Giles Corey (!) (Hopefully)

My Morning Jacket

Run The Jewels

My Bloody Valentine (Probably not. But it's what gets me out of bed every morning.)

 

And then there's fucking Tool. But I've been hurt so many times...

Streaming the new Boduf Songs now. The whole album sounds like Sea Change and The Fragile eating each other. Cool.

Isn't that the country where people wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people?

I'm slowly warming up to a little bit of black-ish stuff. I always thought it was the vocals that I hated, but lately I've been thinking it's the drums that really get under my skin. Any recommendations for some good black metal sans the blast beats?

Can we have a new thread? "Albums That Should Be Un-Pressed On Vinyl".
