One of the best bands. Like no joke, the only reason they're not ruling the world right now is because their music isn't mainstreamy and it's very dark.

Well first they pay a kid on deviantArt 20 bucks to use his or her abstract thingie as a background, and then they add EYE CATCHING TEXT over everything a la the "Now" compilation series. Since the songs don't really mean anything, they just have to make everything abstract, colorful, and shiny.

I got to check it. But first, what kind of genre is that to be so dark?
 
Look, no offense here but personally I've never understood how Ooontse!Ooontse!Ooontse! music could remotely be construed as 'Hardcore'. To me Hardcore music is shit like this:

This:
Discharge-hearseesay.jpg


And this:

Also FWIW, bands like Mastodon are what I consider to be 'Modern Hardcore'.

Not meaning to completely denigrate other people and their musical tastes, but would somebody here mind explaining how the fuck does supercheezy RaveLite Muzak get to be called Hardcore?!?!?!?!?!



I've been into this in the past year:


Gay Beast - Second Wave
Justin Adams & Juldeh Camera - Tell No Lies
Master Musicians of Bukkake - Totem One (MMoB is a Sun City Girls Offshoot)
Pocahaunted - Island Diamonds
The Black Hollies - Towards The Light
The Warlocks - The Mirror Explodes
Wolves In The Throne Room - Black Cascade
Wooden Shjips - Dos


Also, On The Download, it's not really an album, but the Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno recording from their 04.19.09 show at a place called DC9 in Washington, DC is excellent.

Hardcore techno is kinda like hardcore punk( i stress the word kinda.) Its a faster more abrasive form of electronic music. Its still melodic( in the gayest way possible) The untz untz untz is now untzuntzunztunztunztuntzgzhzjzjzj!!!!!!!! Its pretty lame IMO
 

Impasse

Got to Be Crazy
I nominate Do Make Say Think's Other Truths:

One of only a few albums from my favorite genre, post-rock, that were released this year. My other favorite genre, prog-rock, was way back in the seventies, so no new albums there.

Them Crooked Vultures is a potential contender for 2009 Album of the Year though.

Kinda cool that DMST is still doing stuff.
They were probably my favorite during post-rock's 15.

I was the guy that cooked meth
Bang Pow Boom
whoop

but Tech N9nes KOD was fucking sick ass shit. Fuck Sickology.

but then again the Posse's BPB was a good reintroduction of the dark carnival, Track: Boing Boing was lyrical genius.

*Starts bumping Bang Pow Boom

I think this thread was just irreparably wounded.

Take it out back and shoot it, I guess.
