i listen to music as an alternative to silence.
my preferred style is anything that has a tangible level of intensity and experimentalism, something that does more than just go through the motions.
Gundam SEED Destiny - I sincerely was enjoying this show most of the way. There were some low points, plus the standard stock footage and other complaints that the series is known for, but it was okay. Then we hit the final batch of episodes and NOSEDIVE! That trash even ruined the earlier...
The only song by Barenaked Ladies I really like is "Buy, Buy, Buy". It sounRAB like something from some 1950s Hollywood musical about salesmen or something. It's simultaneously so goofy and so square that it kind of works for me.
Hmm like Opeth, so you're looking for a broody, melodic death metal band. Evil growls, cleans, atmospheric, some prog, blah blah blah...
I'd go with:
November's Doom
early Evergrey (no death vox though)
Edge of Sanity
early-mid Death
Beyond Twilight
wow that's alot. I used to play piano and clarinet, got bored of it now. sometimes I play with my frienRAB' band, but i try not to make a habit of it :p:
Not many for me:
Lostprophets (until they release their next one in the next month or so, which I don't intend buying)
Gomez
Hot Hot Heat
The Music
NERD
Gorillaz
Yes, I know all bar 1 have only 2 albums. Need Incubus's Fungus Amongus (sp?) and A's How Ace Are Buildings to finish them two off.
