Emancipator - Soon It Will Be Cold Enough

8:09 PM Posted by Qwetherington




Genre: Trip Hop

For some reason there is a dearth of shitty trip hop in the world. Seriously every trip hop release I listen to is good. Emancipator is no exception. His beats and melodies are up there with some of my favourite electronic releases in recent memory.
This release is insanely pretty and catchy, but also has immense replay value.

In particular, the last few songs from "Lionheart" onwards just rule so hard.

Phones you should def check this one out.

Unveiled - Anti-God Behavior (2002)

9:54 AM Posted by Joey Dunst


Genre: black metal
Kriegish black metal with icy cold riffs and..

just kidding I don't think I could keep talking like that. Solid black metal from some country. I don't remember which one. Just pick a country. Estonia. Why not? Magnus needs something to be proud of anyway. Solid riffs and standard vox, what's there to complain about?

Nothing. It was a hypothetical question, jackass.

Get.

System of a Down - Steal This Toxicity of a Down!

10:47 PM Posted by Qwetherington



Genre: Nu-Metal

So these guys are the best ever nu-metal band. The quirky, dark and sometimes very astute lyrical content is delivered by one of the best vocalists I've ever heard in Serj Tankian. His voice is often operatic and epic, but he also snarls, screams, raps and squeals lyrics.
The music ranges from brooding and atmospheric, to nonsensical and hilarious, to political and so on. The point is that you'll find so much awesome and different shit on these three releases that it's impossible to not like anything. Trust qwe.


trust qwe
Selftitled. Their best. Totally crazy and intense. Vocals aren't as powerful, neither is the production, but the music is perfect. "Circus Thrash"

trUSTqwe Toxicity. Their most popular and an excellent album. Not as interesting as their debut but it has some better individual songs.

TRUST QWE!!! Steal This Album! Awesome collection of great songs. People call this a "b-sides" collection but I personally enjoy this more than Toxicity for its sheer variety and entertainment value.

Bone Awl - Meaningless Leaning Mess

6:00 AM Posted by Qwetherington


Genre: Black Metal

You want black metal? That's cool dude, good choice. Great genre for this time of night. Kick back with those icy cold riffs and chilling vocals and the shitty production that gives the music its fucking edge.

WHAT?

You want good production? You astronomical failure. I can't believe you're able to look such a hopeless piece of muck in the eye every morning when you brush your teeth. Just go. Get the fuck out.

Hey man. Hey.
Hey. I'm sorry. I got worked up. Stop cry-

look

Stop crying. Chill. I overreacted. I'm sorry, ok?

Here maybe this will change your mind about production in black metal. This is edgier than Keira Knightley in a dodecahedron factory.

She's still hot though.

The National - Alligator (2005)

9:13 AM Posted by Joey Dunst



Genre: Indie

This band will put hair on your chest and it might give you those balls you've desperately been needing. Fuck Extenze and Rogaine and all that other shit; this band will do it just fine. Only for those who wish to be manly. Or enjoy good tunes.

Grow a pair.

Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst

6:15 PM Posted by Qwetherington




Genre: Hip-Hop

Fans of Deltron look no further.

This is one of the most hilariously weird rap albums ever. Dr. Octagon is one of rapper Kool Keith's (née Keith Thornton) many pseudonyms. Dr. Octagon is a time-travelling alien gynecologist/surgeon, whose history is described throughout the album through abstract lyrics complete with non-sequiturs and borderline pornographic content. He ain't such a great surgeon though, as most of his patients die. He's a pretty shit gynecologist too, and one of his favourite pastimes is pretending to be a female gynecologist then screwing his patients/nurses.

The beats and music itself is an amalgamation of electronica, trip-hop, psychadelic music and hip-hop

As weird as these lyrics and the concept may be, the album is pulled off with such a degree of flair that it doesn't matter. Who cares about how weird the lyrics are when they're this fucking good? I don't, which means you shouldn't either. Get this if you enjoy good music.

Which is here.

Amanda Woodward - La Decadence De La Decadence

7:05 PM Posted by Qwetherington


Genre: Screamo

Blog needs more skramz. Euroskramz, that is. Pick it up, enjoy it. Or else. These guys were incredibly influential, and you can't call yourself a screamo fan if you haven't heard this. Well you can, but then I'd be forced to call you a phallus. And you don't want that. Have you ever been called a phallus? It hurts.

Daughters - Hell Songs

11:29 AM Posted by Joey Dunst

Genre: I have no fucking idea. Something metal.

Daughters are a grind/noise/whatever/something/idon'treallyknow metal band that play a spastic, energetic form of metal with a weird catch: the vocalist sings almost entirely in a sort of weird spoken-word drawl. Oh, and the bass sounds like it's going to end your existence. Really. It's that awesome. Hell Songs is their sophomore release; they just released a new album which you can find a stream for a couple of days (though, that link will die).

Broadcast & The Focus Group - Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age

2:50 PM Posted by Qwetherington



Genre: Experimental


Weirdest music ever. This is like the Dirty Projectors, but not annoying as fuck.
I have no idea how to classify this music, so I'll describe it as eclectic freak-folk/electronica with liberal shades of psychadelic stirred in.

All the songs (bar one) are short too so they don't get boring. This be a COOOL album.
