drinking in l.a. is taken from the album "glee", actually drinking in l.a. stands out a bit stylistically, but the album is still very well worth buying (10 eur at amazon.de). if you're interrested in bran van, get glee, it will not disappoint you smile.gif

Thursday - "Division St." on an old CD player from the album "War All The Time".

The mastering engineer seriously overcompressed the dynamics on this album (standard, lately), but the songwriting is excellent. This is tied with "Marches and Maneuvers" as my favorite song on the album.

Edit: Added quotes.

DJ Craze and DJ Marky from an old Radio One Session

Its mostly drum and bass, they each have a couple of decks, and they go at it like loons, oodles of scratching (some of which I cannot even concieve of how it is done), and really high energy mixing, cutting, done with a serious amount of passion. You can just smell the enjoyment factor biggrin.gif

which ones? I tend to like the older ones (Master of Puppets, And Justice for all...),
but like after the black album (and with it), they reeaaly changed their style, nowerdays some of their songs more sound like a mixture of, uhm, Bon Jovi, Slayer and Linkin Park... no, don't hit me, arg, not in the stomach, that hurts.
*Digga has to recover from the brutal beating before he can raise his voice again*

...And Justice For All, the black album and St. Anger. I've noticed the style change you're talking about with the black album. I'm thinking I prefer the "pre-black album" sound too. I used to have ...And Justice For All and the black album, but my second wife ended up with them. sad.gif So I've gone without any Metallica for a while.

IMO their percussion was more inventive and more involved in the late '80s. This includes drum percussion and guitar percussion. As strange as that sounds...anyone who listens to older Metallica knows what "guitar percussion" is. (I've heard probably all of their albums over the years, as many of my friends are avid Metallica fans.)

As a matter of fact, right now I'm listening to the song that got me into Metallica the most (still probably my favorite, and a great example of guitar percussion)...

that's an interestsing good song, I agree.
landmine!! has taken my sight! - Hetfield has a good ability to make you feel the aggressive, intensive, though not violent feelings through the lyrics. combined with quiete good guitar-rifs and the druming (almost speed-metal sometimes) it realy kicks (kicked) ass.
though the tracks on this album sometimes are a bit too monumental IMO...

today most stuff is pinched with a bit of crossover or new-metal. it's going more into the mainstream direction which could also be very good, but I sometimes miss the 'honest good 80s metal'.
(I quite like 'turn the page' and 'whisky in the jar' etc, but it's a total different level).

it reaLLy kicks ass - there's your typo wink.gif

anyway, I have the CD Single of One with a Live version, and that's even more aggressive then the album version. my favourite metallica album is still "Master Of Puppets" although "Ride The Lightning" is a very close 2nd.

Listening to "Good Charlotte - Lifestyles of the rich & the famous" at this moment. Next up "Evenasence - Bring me back to life".

Man, was that CD a dissapointment!
The single you are listening too is good.
Has a very good rhythm track and very good lyrics (it has the first-ever documented use of the mexican expression "me vale madre" --means "I don't give a fuck"--, coming from such a high-profile and "clean" singer it was kinda cool).

But the rest of the CD is Mas Reloaded
He even recycles his most-famous-ever line (the "corazon partio" one)
And when they start rapping, its always time to hit the STOP button out of third-person-embarrasment!

Well, now listening to Zoe - Zoe - Miel.mp3

I love them.

Have you heard Surrender? It's a great follow-up to their first album Dig Your Own Hole (on which "Block Rockin' Beats" was track #1), and seems to me to be more "integrated". Also, there is one track I use as a great bass-response test...Under The Influence, starting at the 14 second timemark. Make sure everything is nailed down before you turn up the volume though. tongue.gif

Yup... (Cheers, N68!)

I own them all.
In fact, the only reason I got the "Singles 93-03" compilation was to get the B-sides and rarities CD and the two new tracks.

Surrender IS, in fact, my favorite Chem Bros. CD.
I love the song you mention, but my favorite is "Music: Response", it is so Kraftwerk-like. I love it when the music kinda "stops" and then it goes to a really brief and fast cycle of start-stop, like if they were "scratching" on a turntable. It blows my mind! I agree with you that Surrender is more cohesive.

But "Block Rockin' Beats" really CHANGED my life. I just was not ready for something so powerful to come from computer-generated music.
I love all kinds of "electronic" music ever since.

Actually, Music: Response followed by Under The Influence open the latest version of the dance mix I use at parties. They make a great opening, especially for the few people who've never heard The Chemical Brothers before. I get more than a few people asking "How'd they do that?" (And of course, Block Rockin' Beats is in the mix too, along with Elektrobank, Lost In The K-Hole, Got Glint?, Orange Wedge, etc.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Playing...

My favorite song on a very underrated album by a very attractive woman who's now a Loreal cover girl. Surprisingly original sounding style...more than I would have thought before I heard it. Some interesting vocal overlays. And unlike many pop singers doing someone else's "pre-packaged" music, she actually co-wrote 10 of the 12 tracks. Her singing sounds effortless but still powerful, as if her abilities are mostly untapped.
