CD Audio I have it ★★★★

14 jul 14

It's the ninth studio album released in 2012 by the Swedish band; their ongoing evolutionary musical journey, while still retaining all those characteristics of a sound that has never ceased to evoke in me an uncommon fascination in the Metal realm. And it is the track that opens the collection, "The Parting," that sweeps me away emotionally once again, in a crescendo that culminates in a majestic guitar sound with a progressive flavor and a syncopated drum...CHILLING...

Some things remind me "too much" of Tool. Am I wrong? I'm not referring to this album in particular but to the latest ones.

In my opinion, no; even just for the duration of the tracks, which are always kept concise in Katatonia. It's true that over the years and albums, their sound has somehow "softened," leaving aside the wonderful sound of their early days. However, I still like them. Since you mentioned Tool, do you have any news about their new album?

The first track of The Great Cold Distance sounds just like Tool. Identical :-D
In theory, they would be working on the new album.

I listened to the song you mentioned, Leaders, which opened their 2006 album; and indeed, a certain closeness to the Tool sound seems evident to me: but not in a way that's as "too much" as you highlighted; then Johan's voice around the middle of the song takes on a growl-like quality that distances them from Tool. Both bands are worth listening to and listening to endlessly.

Korn: Korn

11 dec 14

Hailing from Bakersfield, sunny California; but there's nothing sunny about the first album, quite the opposite. Their musical design is an unsettling lightning bolt out of the blue: perverse, claustrophobic, impulsive, with Jonathan's voice capable of splitting into opposing crazy and dangerous personalities. A sound reminiscent of a serial killer that leads to the birth of Nu-Metal, managing to incorporate genres that are in stark contrast to each other: it's July 1994. A revolution that left a profound mark... DADDY...

I just finished listening to Daddy. I have tears in my eyes, damn it... That ending is mind-blowing.

Korn: Life Is Peachy

12 dec 14

Even drier and rougher, the second album by Korn deserves top marks as well. The cover is disturbing: the image is still that of a child, this time in front of a "deforming" mirror. The sound is a wall of unlimited power, diving into a Metal-Rap contaminated by industrial, dark, hardcore craziness. "Good God" is a masterful example of this, with the warped and schizophrenic voice that devastates body and mind. From here on, the career goes into free fall...KILL YOU...

I’ve already replied under your post. Great record. But the damage they’ve done since has made me allergic to them in such a way that it almost makes me deny even those first two great albums.

I don't really like this album; it feels devoid of the freshness of the first album (undeniable) but without the courage to embrace the outrageous cheesiness of Follow the Leader (which I like) and with a bunch of useless nonsense tracks like Twist and Kunt. Even Chi gets incredibly tiresome after a while. However, Lost, Good God, and No Place to Hide absolutely slap; there's no arguing about that.

(Obviously, when I talk about useless buzzurrate, I'm definitely not referring to Wicked and Lowrider :D)

I'm on the same page as you, Work...even if tracks like 'Mr. Rogers' and 'Kill You' make the nonsense forgivable. I only liked the last track of 'Follow The Leader', the name of which I can't recall right now...slow, long, heavy. The rest of the album disappointed me quite a bit.

P.S. I remember that at the time I was literally left speechless by this album and the previous one. NOTHING sounded like this back then. Looking back, one might say, 'thank goodness...', but anyone who was in their 20s in '95-'96 can't help but have enjoyed these records.

I’m of the perfect age to have experienced the first two albums of the Californian band; and I can say without a doubt that they are truly killer records in terms of sound and especially when it comes to the vocals. Listening to "Life is Peachy" again this morning, after such a long time, is the usual suffocating experience, at least for me. "Follow the Leader" didn’t satisfy me anymore, and then my appreciation fell off with the subsequent works.

Basically, you and I said the same, identical thing in sync.

After all, we're "getting old"; the slow track that closes the second album is "Kill You," which is very reminiscent of "Daddy" from the first self-titled album: with that anguished, hysterical cry from Jonathan that still gives me chills today and nearly makes me cry!!!!!!

Think, I saw them when I was in the UK in the second half of the '90s along with some then-unknown Incubus and a ska band called Urge, the latter of which I’ve never heard of since then :-)

Kyuss: Welcome to Sky Valley

18 sep 14

Kyuss welcomes us into their world; and they do so with an album that takes to extremes the conversation started with their previous work. A wall of guitar that has become even denser, more subdued, exploding right from the outset in the apocalyptic "Gardenia," a track with colossal movements: a long heavy-fuzz-psychedelic journey that is replicated by the subsequent "Asteroid"; we finally breathe with the evocative and mystical "Space Cadet," featuring unexpected, deep melodic openings...MOTHERFUCKER..

Dear De Marga, what can I say to you about this affair!!

Listened to again this morning while heading to the hills surrounding Verbania, enveloped in a fog with rain that tasted already of autumn. And it was gratifying, as it has been for twenty years now, to hear a stunning sequence of tracks, with that unique ultra-heavy guitar sound!!! Unrepeatable band.

Every time I ask myself: do you prefer this one or the previous one? this one or the previous one? this one or the previous one?.. It's a vicious circle! In the end, I prefer both...

It's really tough, dear aunt, even for me to choose the best Kyuss album; in the end, "Blues for..." wins by a nose for a very simple reason: it was released in 1992, so I listened to it first.

Maybe I actually prefer this just a little bit... and the credit goes to the hypnotic and introspective Space Cadet... which I've probably included a thousand times in my car playlists, for friends, for girlfriends, for parties... In short, I always played it!... Now I'm going to listen to it again!
De...Marga...

You are absolutely right; it’s a somewhat atypical piece, considering their modus which is an ultra-powerful hit!!! I'm taking this opportunity to ask you for news about the Sophia. As for me, I'm still stuck on the new excellent track from last spring.

Kyuss: Blues for the Red Sun

8 aug 14

A trip on acid that has redemptive power. It’s 1992 and the guys from Palm Desert are releasing their best work: heavy-psychedelic-blues of beastly strength, with a saturated and lowered guitar sound that hurts. It’s the heavy-fuzz of "Thumb" that kicks off the listening: the possessed Black Sabbath multiplied by ten, a hundred, a thousand... But there’s no respite because the boulder of "Green Machine" comes crashing in, followed immediately by the colossal "Molten Universe"... And there are still eleven tracks to go.
