Pilot Error Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Just stumbled across this thread and killed an hour at work - awesome!Been listening to Destruction by Definition by the Suicide Machines a lot recently after re-finding it on the ipod - kinda ska punk if it wasn't ruined by all those baggy shorted Californians and had some hardcore in it!Also Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney and Dirt by Alice In Chains, both lovely stuff if fairly bleak!

Soda Jerk Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Suicide Machines are one of the best bands I've ever seen, which is odd, because I can't stand them on record. They were tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Error Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Suicide Machines are one of the best bands I've ever seen, which is odd, because I can't stand them on record. They were tight.Great live band, saw them a few times down in England and they were just great. I really liked the way that they were a supposed 'known' band, but set up their own gear and drove their own van etc. Totally down to earth. Last couple of records they did were bad though. So so bad.... o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I caught them in 2001 with the god-horrid Jesse James. They blew my mind. Bought an album and hated it though. It was the one you mentioned too, with New Girl on it, which is a good song. Didn't care for the rest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Error Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Jesse James...awful. Truly truly terrible. I saw them opening for just about every American punk band that came through the UK in 2001 and never failed to be shite. Aye, the 1st album is the one for me. Rest of the records seem to have the odd good song on but gradually got more and more disappointing each time. Had high hopes after the 1st record, thought they were goingto replace my beloved Op Ivy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Jazz Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Meshuggah - Obzen.Only 3 years old, so maybe doesn't qualify as a re-discovery yet. Very, very clever stuff though. All those odd-time, over-the-bar-line rhythms shouldn't work...but they just do.As a drummer, Bleed makes me want to cry. Just great playing.

ca_gere Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Lemonjelly. They kinda got lost in the heady days of cut and paste ninja tune trip hop for me but relistening to all their albums this past week and I'm hooked again.

Alkaline Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 The Afghan Whigs. Dunno what made me think about listening to them today, but it was a most enjoyable blast from the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Terrorvision - How to make friends and influence peopleLove this album! If it was released today I might not be so keen but when I was a teenager it was played a lot. Ten Shades of Grey is a top tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I can't stand Terrorvision for the most part, but the Perseverance single was a massive tune.They used to play in Dewsbury all the time, under secret guises in shite pubs. My mums mate kitted out his car with tons of Terrorvision stickers. Funnily enough his car was found torched in Dewsbury Moor. Not a coincidence. Someone clearly didn't care for Terrorvision. Exquisite tale brethren.my recent rediscovery has been:Lack - Blues Moderne: Danois Explosifs.I bought it on a whim back in 2001. It was new, and a sticker on the front compared it to Botch. I was nuts about Botch at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I was Terrorvision daft as a young man. Travelled to see them in all manner of shitholes. Bradford was probably the lowlight but Dudley runs a close second in terms of really shit towns. I got to know the singer and the bassist a wee bit at the time. Really really nice guys. Still speak to Tony from time to time on Facebook and that./namedropping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Agreed though, the music hasn't aged well. I stick on one of their albums like once a year now for nostalgia and rarely get past the first few tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diarmaid Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 'Regeneration' by The Divine Comedy. The last really good album they've done, though I never listen to it. Just switched it on tonight and its great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Owl PhD Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Been listening to Flying Saucer Attack a lot today. Poor vocals, low recording quality, rudimentary guitar and still completely fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 The Colour and the Shape - Foo Fighters. Honestly a brilliant album that is miles ahead of their other records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Most of it is still over shadowed by 2 or 3 great tracks which blow away the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Never cared for The Colour and the Shape apart from the 'hits' and a couple of album tracks. The first album still kills it for me. Infact, I still prefer There's Nothing Left to Lose over The Colour and the Shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 'Regeneration' by The Divine Comedy. The last really good album they've done, though I never listen to it. Just switched it on tonight and its great.I'm a big fan of the band, but that album still doesn't do anything for me other than sound like a pile of garbage (singles aside). Opinions, erseholes, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
