Hey guys, I'm on school holidays, and my music library, while fairly large, is beginning to bore me.
Mainly I listen to stuff like:
A Perfect Circle
Coheed and Cambria
Deftones
King Crimson
The Mars Volta
Muse
Porcupine Tree
Queens of the Stone Age
Radiohead
System of a Down
Tool
Ween
Yes
but what I really like is good instrumentation (as in, not dragonforce's really fast-ness, but stuff that isn't necessarily technical but still sounds good), a singer who isn't annoying and doesn't sing the same way all the time (yeah, I know Coheed and Cambria is in my music library) and, much in the same vein, non-annoying lyrics (i.e. rhyming all the time with horrible rhymes (e.g. "you broke my heart/right from the start" or something)).
It doesn't really matter if the bands aren't really in the style of what's above; I'll listen to a lot of stuff as long as it meets the above criteria (for example, I'd really like to get into jazz).
Any suggestions would be great.
-
Oceansize.
-
The Butterfly Effect.
At The Drive-In.
Rush.
Portgual The Man.
Genesis.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
-
Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance
Their old stuff was doom metal but their latest albums have been a hybrid progressive rock/metal. Some call their new style depressive rock. Whatever the case, The Great Cold Distance is pretty good. Highlight tracks are My Twin, Deliberation, and July.
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element I
PoS is a rare breed of progressive metal. They incorporate many different styles of music and the vocalist has an amazing range.
Ayreon - The Human Equation / 01011001
Both albums full of a variety of musical styles and many different vocalists. Ayreon do rock operas, but more science-fiction-oriented and they definitely have a metal edge. If you don't like any sort of sci-fi related lyrics then focus more on The Human Equation which foregoes those lyrical conventions.
Riverside - Second Life Syndrome
Really good progressive rock - definitely up your alley I think.
Those are the only ones I listen to that might fit your criteria.
-
dredg (El Cielo or Catch Without Arms, I'd start with the latter)
Pure Reason Revolution
Oceansize
3 (some similarities to C&C I suppose but so much better)
Pain of Salvation
Pineapple Thief
Aereogramme (Sleep and Release, My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go or Seclusion)
Steven Wilson's new solo album perhaps??? (called Insurgentes)
Blackfield
Nine Inch Nails
Anathema (get A Natural Disaster)
Rishloo
Ours (get Mercy)
easy to say RECOMMEND ANYTHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS but there are hundreds and hundreds of artists we like so that's a pretty impossible task. easier to be specific.
oh yeah riverside too, they are p.good.
-
Try Opeth's album "Damnation" and then work your way up to the death-vocals and go to "Blackwater Park."
-
Ashes Divide (Billy Howerdale's solo project, its pretty good) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfbQSi6_8RY
Anathema
Amplifier
Fair to Midland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Svx-TT565U
Isis
I'm going to second portugal the man, Riverside, and Oceansize
-
If you like Oceansize try Amplifier.
They're like Oceansize's little brother, and they're absolutely quality.
http://www.myspace.com/amplifiertheband
-
Pure Reason Revolution
-
and if you like oceansize and amplifier, try eustacia! they only have a demo album out but it's free and good!
http://www.sturmberg.net/Demo_2007.rar
amplifier's second album insider was a pretty huge disappointment though.
also ashes divide kinda blow
-
man you are a protogw listener but...i sense a doubt in you. the problem is you aint giving us NON GW GUYS (if you dont get this btw it is when someone can list porcupine tree + 20 bands that sound like variations on porcupine tree or basically a specific subset of DS's music) much to go on. here we go:
but what I really like is good instrumentation (as in, not dragonforce's really fast-ness, but stuff that isn't necessarily technical but still sounds good), a singer who isn't annoying and doesn't sing the same way all the time (yeah, I know Coheed and Cambria is in my music library) and, much in the same vein, non-annoying lyrics (i.e. rhyming all the time with horrible rhymes (e.g. "you broke my heart/right from the start" or something)).
.
okay so you've kicked out really shitty metal. that still leaves a lot. singing the same way all the time? I don't even get this man. like you aren't going to run into many groups that will have a vocalist switch between Tom Waits and Anthony Kiedis and similarly other than like Jack Johnson you wont see singers just all sounding the same (compare King's Crossing to St. Ides Heaven). coheed, volta, tool, muse, these guys have some infamously shitty lyrics. no one other than like PANIC AT THE DISCO rhymes heart and start or does boring shit, you need to be more specific than MUSIC THATS NOT BORING WITH SINGERS AND LYRICS.
-
hmm a half decent music list! (and by half decent, i mean half of it is decent- or better than decent i guess)
muse doesn't have shitty lyrics.
i do agree though that that was a bit if a general description that was posted.
i'll shoot some recommendations based on the bands you listed anyways (hopefully you don't think they're way off....):
The Bravery - Honest Mistake
Mindless Self Indulgence - Straight to Video
Patrick Wolf - The Libertine (please ignore the high twink factor in the video)
-
hey im going to hijack this topic to push this lyrics point a bit because its been a while since we've had a dumb lyrics argument.
I dont really care for muse at all so I just googled RANDOM SONG.
don't kid yourself
and don't fool yourself
this love's too good to last
and i'm too old to dream
don't grow up too fast
and don't embrace the past
this life's too good to last
and i'm too young to care
don't kid yourself
and don't fool yourself
this life could be the last
and we're too young to see
thats a lot of lines to say "youth is wasted on the young", here's elliott smith doing it in less in one of his less good songs:
you idiot kid your arm's got a death in it
if you're choking up take this paper cup
but there's a price you'll pay for
trying hard to become whatever they are
here's muse with thoughts of a dying atheist
Eerie whispers
trapped beneath my pillow
won't let me sleep
your memories
and I know you're in this room
I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in between
where our worlds collide
scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see
and it scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see
and I know the moment's near
and there's nothing you can do
look through a faithless eye
are you afraid to die?
thats a lot to say atheists might be frightened of dying (there's two more verses but it's just that "scares the hell out of me" line. here's tupac questioning his place in heaven:
God damn it's a motherfuckin riot
Black people only hate police so don't try it
If you're not from the town then don't pass through
Cause some O.G. fools might blast you
It ain't right but it's long overdue
We can't have peace til the niggaz get a piece too
I want G's so you label me a criminal
And if I die, I wonder if heaven got a ghetto
the smith song is powerful in its images, the pac songs got slant rhymes and neat wordplay (one line before he says "I couldn't take it, had to make a profit/Down the block, got a glock, and I clock grip" which is a pretty tight rhyme) and those are both their WEAKER songs (the Pac song is actually a fucking Changes remix). that's what I mean by Muse don't got lyrics that I could say are GOOD and are kind of shitty. I mean, that's like saying idk because Panic at the Disco has better wordplay than Avril, their lyrics are good when you've got dudes like Jacques Brel, Nick Cave, Cursive, all runnin around with lines that'd make you snap in half in comparison.
-
i can't believe you're comparing muse to tupac. that's like comparing ukuleles with handlebar moustaches. two very different things.
i'm not saying muse has the most profound messages, or the most intricate wordplays. i do think that their lyrics are really match their music though. both the overall message and the actual phrases seem to match really well. generally they seem to have a more epic feel (if you will), so yeah, some of their lyics can be a bit corny, but in general i think its fitting.
you said you don't like their music, so you probably aren't into that whole angle (and probably think the lyrics are very corny and useless).
i think the first quote is saying more than just "youth is wasted on the young" and can be interpreted a lot of different ways depending on how you look at it. personally i like that in music.
i also think the lyrics can be good at visualizing the song
"Eerie whispers
trapped beneath my pillow
won't let me sleep"
"I know you're in this room
I'm sure I heard you sigh"
no?
i do agree that other artists might be better at different aspects of writing and i do like muse for other reasons before their lyrics, but i still think they are written pretty well and are at very least not shitty.
-
so what? I get what you're getting at but those aren't TERRIBLE lyrics
maybe bad or not good but not TERRIBLE
-
nah its pretty awful songwriting when you're spending the whole song pushing hilarious messages like ATHEIST...WHAT IF U DIE (really, guy?) and when you compare it to anyone else it's even worse. that first song doesn't say anything Bryan Adams didn't say.
THOSE WERE THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIIIIIFE.
muse doesn't write good lyrics, they write shitty pop prog stuff! it's not like it's vomit inducing shit, but it's still boring shit. if a lyric isn't particularly clever or insightful or FUN in some way (and guess what tupac...is music??? whoa, you mean there's wordplay outside of rap lyrics? unbelievable!) I don't see why I'm going to give it a rating above average, and if it's not even about interesting shit and occasionally touches dumb shit like ATHEISTS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE :welp: yeah it's kind of shitty!
I'm always surprised when gw defends this stuff, it's well established Muse doesn't write good lyrics. here's a pitchfork guy:
The album really starts to flag around "Exo-Politics", which figures it doesn't need a hook because it asks a tough question: "When the Zetas fill the skies," Bellamy wonders aloud over Sabbathian guitar plod, "will our leaders tell us why?"
yeah thats not shitty lyrics! the av club
Starting with a spacey synthesizer fanfare and a deep, quavery vocal from bandleader Matthew Bellamy, the song gradually shifts into triumphant dance-pop, and then into outright Euro-trash bombast, complete with Queen-style harmonies, scorching electric guitar, and screechy lines like "You'll burn in hell for your sins." It's a prog-rock nightmare: pretentious, cacophonous, and thoroughly old-world.
fun little ending to this
This is a very imposing kind of music, full of operatic flourish and lyrics about violent times and cosmic retribution. Give Muse credit for remaking itself over the years into a full-blown theatrical experience, and not just another echoing rock band. But that experience is, frankly, kind of shitty.
the village voice:
There are synths and acoustic guitars and the drummer's galloping beat, all while vocalist Matthew Bellamy shouts at the devil and wields his guitar like a Ghostbuster's proton pack. Let's not even get into the unicorn/robot/cowboy-adorned video. The best part? A buildup so epic it feels like its 1999 and Sasha and Digweed are spinning at Twilo and you're candy-flipping and it's like dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah until a digital choir of Bellamys declares, a cappella, "No one's going to take me alive!/Time has come to make things right!"
the universe has an infinite capacity for stupid, stupid shit.
this isn't JUST ME guys.

i agree that most lyrics blow and that the ones you cite arent good (fuck muse btw muse blows) buuuuuuuut some of these are flawed comparisons
you compare whoever to elliott smith like BREVITY means the same thing in regards to lyricism as it does in fiction repetition can serve a very important purpose, and it's kind of missing purpose if you're saying ALKHGERLKH GET TO THE POINT ALREADY, POETRY!!! there are extremes, but that one you posted is not one of them because the FORMATTING is what makes it longer than smith's, not the actual length; it's only like ten more words. and even if it was longer, there is nothing wrong with devoting an entire song to a theme. i don't know what else you expect them to do! cover as many issues in a single song as possible? honestly of the myriad omplaints you could make about the lyrical ability of most bands, i think this is perhaps the least legitimate.
you also cannot really tie some of these songs together. aside from PERTAINS TO ATHEISM and a difference in quality, those songs have nothing to do with each other. they're about radically different subjects. on this note i think this is actually something a misrepresentation on your part, and i wish you would not present points in such skewed manners, because ATHEIST...WHAT IF U DIE is a gross oversimplification and there was only a single noteworthy line in that pac verse, yet you sold it like someone was paying you too. i think the muse song is poorly written, but the idea is not hilarious at all. i think it is sort of funny that in spite of how arrogant the average atheist you meet is, they probably end up having a rougher time of it for their choices. i think the point is YOU DIE AND THATS IT and that at least if you are religious you get the benefit of never actually having to confront your own mortality. i am 100% atheist, and it is a lot more weight placed on you in terms of understanding that you are a FINITE BEING or whatever. it's not about what happens when you die it is about NOTHING HAPPENS and this is a horrifying concept for many people. CONTEMPLATING MORTALITY how is this "hilarious" exactly??? theyre def not good lyrics tho
-
also really theyre not good lyricists but this is not a good argument. posting SNIPPETS out of context proves approximately..........nothing??? like it is not supporting your claim in any way other than FAGGOT MUSIC REVIEWERS POTENTIALLY AGREE and who gives a shit. you could find music reviewers who say it is amazing. it doesn't mean anything!
ps check it:
I want to hurt him/I want to give him pain
whoa....elliott smith worst lyricist of all time....
-
muse is fucking awful end of story, they build songs on some of the most annoying riffs and I can't stand hearing that asshole sing in his shitty voice.
They're one of many grandiose bands who pour tons of production into what boils down to boring over-serious rock with lyrics only a 12 year old could really appreciate.

no my point is this song hits its point and harps on it constantly. there's no progression of ideas here. its just YOUR YOUNG...APPRECIATE LIFE. it's like those country songs that aren't about stories, where it's all based on this theme and you are all AH...THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS. it's not about issues but depth. like smith talking about how young kids have false hopes of security, he ties in imagery of drug abuse, SELLING OUT, there's more to it than "hey kid you growin up much too fast, lemme tell you this six times"
you also cannot really tie some of these songs together. aside from PERTAINS TO ATHEISM and a difference in quality, those songs have nothing to do with each other. they're about radically different subjects. on this note i think this is actually something a misrepresentation on your part, and i wish you would not present points in such skewed manners, because ATHEIST...WHAT IF U DIE is a gross oversimplification and there was only a single noteworthy line in that pac verse, yet you sold it like someone was paying you too. i think the muse song is poorly written, but the idea is not hilarious at all. i think it is sort of funny that in spite of how arrogant the average atheist you meet is, they probably end up having a rougher time of it for their choices. i think the point is YOU DIE AND THATS IT and that at least if you are religious you get the benefit of never actually having to confront your own mortality. i am 100% atheist, and it is a lot more weight placed on you in terms of understanding that you are a FINITE BEING or whatever. it's not about what happens when you die it is about NOTHING HAPPENS and this is a horrifying concept for many people. CONTEMPLATING MORTALITY how is this "hilarious" exactly??? theyre def not good lyrics tho
my point in the pac comparison was lyrics can also be CLEVER/WITTY which these were not. there's no flow or little HEH BLACK PRIDE or anything about it it's just GUESS WAT...YOU GONNA DIE? WHATS TEHRE. it was less about the themes and more that there are really two ways good lyrics can go, they can be vivid/clever in some way like tupac and most rappers do (and some good song writers too, like the mountain goats) or they can be deep like smith and co go. like we can split hairs on this if you want but I think that's what really defines the best lyrics, a sense of depth or a sense of wit.
also really theyre not good lyricists but this is not a good argument. posting SNIPPETS out of context proves approximately..........nothing??? like it is not supporting your claim in any way other than FAGGOT MUSIC REVIEWERS POTENTIALLY AGREE and who gives a shit. you could find music reviewers who say it is amazing. it doesn't mean anything!
ps check it:whoa....elliott smith worst lyricist of all time....
two lines isn't the same as whole songs man. and dude it's the AV Club, first off I gotta disagree about faggot music reviewers, those guys are the exact opposite, they are the best. my point is this isn't just me, it's like...common knowledge. Muse doesn't write good lyrics. there's no good way to establish this outside of quotes and quoting their songs man, unless you can think of one. if so feel free because I don't think these guys will listen to me say THEY JUST SUCK HOW DONT YOU GET THIS.

man you are a protogw listener but...i sense a doubt in you. the problem is you aint giving us NON GW GUYS (if you dont get this btw it is when someone can list porcupine tree + 20 bands that sound like variations on porcupine tree or basically a specific subset of DS's music) much to go on. here we go:

I don't even get this man. like you aren't going to run into many groups that will have a vocalist switch between Tom Waits and Anthony Kiedis and similarly other than like Jack Johnson you wont see singers just all sounding the same (compare King's Crossing to St. Ides Heaven).
What I mean is that I like to see musical development with singers. For example, The Butterfly Effect's singer developed his voice from 'Begins Here' to 'Imago' to something that sounded much better. His lyrics are still pretty horrible, though, and their sound hasn't really changed at all between their newest two albums.
you need to be more specific than MUSIC THATS NOT BORING WITH SINGERS AND LYRICS.
Alright, then. I can't really come up with specific concepts that I like in my music off the top of my head, so I'll tell you what I like about certain bands and see if that helps.
Queens of the Stone Age
The main thing I like about these guys is that a lot of their stuff is pretty simple but still sounds really good. Generally, their songs are well formulated, it sounds like everyone in the band knows their place and fits in with what the others are doing (this isn't a great explanation, but I can't think of how better to say this right now).
Coheed and Cambria/The Mars Volta (pre-Amputechture)
I pretty much these two for the same reasons, so I'll lump them in together. Both bands make pretty good concept albums and sound pretty epic. I like the Mars Volta for their cool instrumental sections and because the vocalist uses some interesting vocal effects in appropriate places. Honestly, I really like Coheed's guitarist, everything else is kinda ok. Their drummer(s) are pretty interesting sometimes.
This isn't nearly as explanatory as what I'd like it to be, but what I really like in a band is if they have a cohesive sound. I can't really say I enjoy hip-hop or rap; all of it that I've heard doesn't really sit with me well. If anyone really thinks that they can recommend me some good examples of the genres, though, I'll listen to it. I'm not completely against any style of music.

is this a muse song?
-
do you like the QOTSA singer? Mark Lanegan has some good solo albums out.
I always try and steer neoprog fans to the good older prog (its hard because while there is some most older prog fans will recommend Rush and ELP in the same breath as Genesis and King Crimson) but yeah pick up Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. at the least you'll have what's considered a classic album and an opinion on it.
-
i really hate Genesis. i just don't see what's so appealing about them :(
-
but your also...gay as hell? hmm i think thats an Own.
what have you heard by them.
do you like SOLO PETER GABRIEL at the least?
-
never listened to Peter Gabriel's solo stuff. i've heard like SLEDGEHAMMER obviously but other than that nada. i've heard quite a bit by Genesis:
Nursery Cryme
Foxtrot
Selling England By the Pound
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
i just get the impression of Peter Gabriel prancing around with a fox mask on singing about some english fairy tale whenever i listen to them. i found it to be pretty generic cheesy prog tbh.
-
NOPE THAT SHIT OWNS. how did you not like england and lamb those are good.
-
admittedly the last time i listened to them was like 2004 so i'll check them out again. my tastes have changed pretty significantly so who knows! maybe theyre not so gay after all (doubt it..)

hahah has this topic even served its original purpose? patient #14, have you discovered anything new that you like?
also, pidgeotto, i don't think i'll be able to convince you to like muse's lyrics, just like i don't think you could convince me to like tupac's lyrics (too high of a fuck to no-fuck ratio). i guess it's all a matter of personal opinion, that's why even shittier lyrics are used in songs that are extremely popular.
edit: ^ that made me laugh :fogetlaugh:
-
hahaha. i didn't know that was townes van zandt! he rules. you're the only other guy who i know listens to him!

no he frickin aint

no way is this legit.
how about this song:

or TOO DRUNK TO FUCK or SONGS ABOUT FUCKING or F.O.A.D. or QUANTUM FUCKING or bands like Holy Fuck or Fuck Buttons or Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Motherfucker=Redeemer (good job me pulling all these from memory) or numerous bands that *gasp* swear. come on you aren't a 60 year old gramma who stubs her toe and says OHHHH SUGAR!, you can't really expect me to believe swearing makes lyrics unlikeable.
you can say TOO AGGRESSIVE maybe (I'd still have a problem with that though) but swearing, really?
no he frickin aint
yeah catamites brought him up in some topic a while ago and I've been posting the vid for Waiting Round to Die forever and a half, I should hope someone would be like "LEMME CHECK DAT OUT". my friend saw this vid and was like "I need everything this guy has done ever" check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTGKzWDakK8

no, the fact we're both dead and he's still around bitching about genres no one could care about and thinking music discussion is invalid despite both of us and his hero Frank Zappa dedicating our lives to blurring the lines between genres and to discussing the reasons behind music rather than just banal "I like it" excuses.

I might just post the list with a sentence or two about each album. I could write it but it would get boring; there's only so many ways to say THIS ALBUM RULES!

no, it's an example of "bad lyrics" but guess what it's a cool song

you can say TOO AGGRESSIVE maybe (I'd still have a problem with that though) but swearing, really?
yeah, some music i listen to is aggressive, so its not that. and yeah, the dead kennedys swear, but not a LOT. Holy fuck is awesome, but i don't think they even have lyrics in their song.
I looked up tupac lyrics and probably half lf the titles alone had 'fuck' in them. i don't think swearing is realy necessary in music.. i'll tolerate the odd swear in respect to the whole "swearing is a way of expression an emotion" type of idea, but when there's too much of it, i find that meaning is lost and it's just annoying.
don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with swearing now and then, i just don't need to hear excessive amounts in the music i listen to.
-
no, it's an example of "bad lyrics" but guess what it's a cool song
lol i was kidding, but yes, it would make a good song
-
well yourhero, if you disliked swearing in any context then you'd have a consistent point (a pretty silly one i think though), but since you can tolerate it in certain places then i don't think it's the swearing but the context of it that you don't like. i mean in tupac was rapping about pretty things then it'd maybe be out of place but usually he was rapping about the rough business so it's just the vocabulary that was appropriate to use. it's probably a part of the whole parcel and not just something that gets in the way cos the guy can't keep a lid on the gutter talk.
you seem pretty harmless so i'm not accusing you of anything and maybe it's just prudishness but maybe...maybe...gta: sa was just too frickin black for you?
-
gotta admit.
i cant understand how someone would hang out at gw if they had a problem with excessive swearing.
ahahah iw as going to write another sentence and started it with "FUCK, EVEN MATEUI" and realized what I did.

hey if I agree not to take this bait will someone warn shep for doing this shit. I mean we all know he's lying and ignoring stuff just to troll topics at this point but if you guys won't tell him to stop I will keep bitching at him till someone notices!
-
i don't think gw has excessive swearing...
well yourhero, if you disliked swearing in any context then you'd have a consistent point (a pretty silly one i think though)
isn't saying i have to dislike all of it, or else accept as much as possible a bit of an extremist view?

Try to find Cherry Five.
They just made one album before changing their name to Goblin, but they also changed their direction a lot when they did. Cherry five had a super unique sound, and then as Goblin they started to sound a little too much like some Italian clone of Genesis. The first song of the album is one of my big favorite tracks, "Country Graveyard". It might be a little hard to find though.

at my work they got a peter gabriel greatest hits with this song Games Without Frontiers and it's so fucking shitty
-

Almost every Peter Gabriel song sounds super dated and corny
its often got super awesome claymation videos though
-
blink182 is my favorite punk band

Thanks, guys. I like Oceansize, Riverside, 3 and Pure Reason Revolution, and I'm downloading that free album DS recommended. I'll see if I can get a hold of the Genesis album, as well, I've had that recommended to me by various other people.

Rush? I know it's pretty popular but in the event you hadn't looked into them at all. You should also check out Serj Tankian's album Elect the Dead because it's pretty good.
-
supporting my man bort, rush blows and while the other bands you listed might get confused looks at worst, rush will get active disgust from most people.
-
Yeah Rush really gets that ugh reaction from people. especially if they actually are familiar with Rush up close and personal (I once attended a 4 hour Rush concert for free. It was an eye-opening experience as to what kind of people regularly turn out for those types of concerts and yeah overall just kinda woah)
