Thanks for the recommendations!
Did they do any other less heavy, more electronic albums. somewhat similar to crosses?


I think it's cause they have the word "def" in their name, I thought they were like a Sum 41 type band
"these tones are so def bro"
Was super surprised when my friend played them for me

Chino has this project, Team Sleep, that the album is like a mix of Deftones and the vibe of the Crosses one, with some more eletronic oriented songs... It's such a great album.

Been on a METZ kick these past few days. Good work music. Anyone got any similar suggestions that I can check out?

Totally different spectrum, but that new Gwen Stefani song is pretty catchy.  :-*

so i see stuff about swans pretty often and i know a lot of people have a pretty high opinion of them, but ive never actually checked them out. i started with their first album yesterday and its got to be the most terrifying album ive ever heard. it sounds just like a nightmare. i would imagine if i were kidnapped and brought to some torture dungeon, they would be playing music like this. as horrifying as it is, i still found it pretty interesting. so minimal, yet so sinister. i cant really see myself rushing to play it again unless it was to scare the shit out of people on halloween or something. i thought this track was the most "enjoyable" if i can even call it that. the drums are pretty cool.

Swans- Thank You


i did a little more research on them because i wanted to understand why people love this music so much and i found that their later albums are some of the most praised from their discography. i got almost halfway through "to be kind" on the way to work today, and this is definitely a lot more listenable. still challenging, but very interesting music. their buildups are really awesome. this is my favorite one so far.

SWANS "A LITTLE GOD IN MY HANDS" (TO BE KIND)


anyone on here a fan and want to suggest an album or two. ill probably try "the seer" after i finish "to be kind".

buxtehude was bach's teacher, his work stands well against bach's, this one starts off strong, but gets a little too much by the end

People tend to like the later Swans records because they're more dark and goth sounding, especially the stuff with Jarboe.  

I fucking LOVE early Swans, particularly the first album Filth.  

Swans- Blackout

You should definitely get the cd with both Filth and Body to Body on it... it has an amazing live track (Live at the Kitchen) from the Filth-era that is fucking brutal.  

Also check out Cop/Young God/Greed/Holy Money

Swans "Cop"

this is one of my favorite Swans later-era tracks:

Swans - God Damn The Sun (1989)


You also might want to dive into Michael Gira's other work, particularly the Angels of Light which I'm a huge fan of.  Way different than Swans... it's almost like post-rural American music but with that voice of his it's equally dark.

Angels of light - Destroyer

Yeah that first one especially really had something. I remember posting "Devotion" here when it first leaked, and somebody said they liked it, but wished the singer didn't sound like a girl :-[

All their releases are quality, but they had some periods where things started sounding "samey". I listened to "Depression Cherry" today though, for the first time since it came out, and forgot how solid that album is. They've still got it.


And to JB: I remember being bummed as a kid, for buying "Pisces Iscariot", since it wasn't a "proper" album. I still listen to that "Landslide" cover sometimes, when I'm going through a thing with a girl.

Recently I've actually been listening to SP for the first time in awhile, but mostly "Adore" (love that album even though it didn't totally work), and working my way through "Mellon Collie..."

Totally agree. I like just about anything they put out but most of their newer albums I have to pick through to find that "one" song I really enjoy.

Adore doesn't get the attention it deserves. Maybe not as solid or hard hitting as siamese dream and mellon collie, but i think it has some of their best songs. ava adore is definitely in my top 5 pumpkins songs.

Went back and listened to a lot of Get Rich or Die Tryin and The Massacre and rediscovered my love for 50 Cent. I remember wanting to be him so bad at one point. When I was 17 or so I started hating 50 Cent and music alike and got all into "lyrical" rap for a bit and had the most pretentious and obnoxious attitude towards anything that wasn't like that. Thankful I never maintained that outlook cuz those people are the worst to talk to when it comes to music.

been on a power pop kick lately, but I will save those links for another day.

I've always dug "regional scenes", like when a certain part of the country gets hot for a year or two and there's an endless stream of great bands that get pumped out (and they all have a particular sound).

really into the early 90's lo-fi/garage/punk scene in Ohio, so many great bands at that time.

I'm about to download that song so I can play it into work. Feel like that song might pump me up for a job I hate. I have to pack my backpack every morning too.

Been listening to "goo" a lot. Here's my favorite track from it.

De La Soul 3 Feet High and Rising

Such a good record, one of the best. I love how they punked everyone by dropping de la soul is dead too. I personally could have listened to one more "daisy age" record.

I'm not even listening to that song cause I avoid drake as much as I can, but her song on the new Kanye is good

And yeah, that De La record is amazing obviously


But guy don't judge modern music off one song that's popular this week. There's contemporary people/groups making innovative and progressive music in every genre, all the time. Almost too much really, it's hard to keep track. And hell, sometimes there's even some pop/songs that get real popular, that still kinda kill it.

Tell me some stuff you like, and I bet I could turn you onto some stuff that came out in 2015 you'd be into.

Ive been on a bit of a Bruce Springsteen binge the last few days
