I've only listened twice so far
I'm looking forward to it clicking after the third listen, because it hasn't so far.
Trousers
you wouldn't wear outside the house I presume. I think my tracksuit bottoms count in this respect.
I can't quite believe
it was 2 years ago that I moaned about this middle bit being too narrow. I also recall something between 2.0 and 3.0.
Yes
yes you should
Best metal band in the world
at the moment. Are they good live? I probably won't bother with these dates, I presume they'll do a headline tour when the album is out.
Initially I read that as
The band read our review of their first night at Victoria Park. Maybe that's why they changed the setlist...
pasture of muppets
LOLtastic
TMV + Roundhouse =
awesome.
I'm probably being a bit of a mong
but I can't find a link to the music lineup from the website linked above- only Franz, Sigur Ros and Interpol on the "Click here for latest lineup" page. Anyone know an extended list?
London
pick me pick me please
nu-metal
duh
I've never been to Download
is it any good? Not impressed at all by the lineup so far I must admit...
This middle bit
is a bit too narrow. A long article will require about 3.56 miles of scrolling. I'm a busy man.
I agree
I think choosing Biffy as support band wasn't a great idea... because they blew Bloc Party off the stage.
Like Eating Glass and Helicopter were very sloppy, and the bass player shouldn't bother doing backing vocals live, because he can't pull it off.
Set list was also very lazy, being almost a replica of the Astoria gig in February. They did include Uniform, but it didn't kick in quite as massively as on record.
Disappointing - I wish I'd followed Biffy to Camden.
"At this moment in time"
Worst phrase ever. Overused everywhere.
Just say "Now".
SPAFF
TASTIC
No Snow Patrol
This pleases me.
Unearth
certainly rival Killswitch for the best metalcore band. The thought the last album wasn't as strong as the first (as mentioned in the review) because most of the songs seemed to be fast, heavy verses followed by slower, big, dumb choruses. Hopefully this isn't true of the new album.
Isis
Neither Oceanic nor Panopticon have been mentioned. I'd whomp one of those in the top 6.
so unfair
I wish I could make one of these dates but I can't. I will be in Australia which is a consolation of course, but Tool supported by Mogwai?! Fucking hell
Awesomeo
"It seems a lot crazier, with lots of riffs and parts"
I thought Leviathan was pretty crazy, with lots of riffs and parts. So this should be fantastic. Yay.
I won!
and it was indeed incredible. This is definitely a great way to do gigs with just a band playing an album in its entirety.
Merci DIS
I cannot
wait for this. Yay!
Worried by Avengend Sevenfold comparison...
because they're shit. I've heard a couple of the Mendeed tracks and they sound pretty solid. Is the whole album of a high standard? (High being much better than AS and Trivium)
Downloaded No 2. instead
I've subscribed to this... but iTunes downloaded No2 again instead of this new one. How annoying - anyone else had similar problem?
Fair enough...
But the Sweater Song is a good song. Beverly Hills is shit.
cheese
I love it when people sign up just to make one post defending a shit band like Linkin Park. This band are irrelevant and do not deserve a penny. Go away.
Dimebag riff used in Nickelback song
I'd say Creed are worse than Nickelback.. but only just.
Team Sleep - Team Sleep

Twin Zero - Monolith
WOO YEAH
Noone has mentioned Middleton's connection with The Blueprint, whose debut is also rather good.
Muse
Various - The OC Mix 3 (Chrismukkah)
I'm fed up with my mates going on about how cool Sed fuckin Cohen is. Worse than Dawson's Creek, and thats hard.
Hundred Reasons
DiS end of year polls! Records! Bands! Gigs!
1. Is it just me or is the second half of the Killers album absolute turd?
2. Where are Maroon 5?
(On another note, someone yesterday tried to claim to me that both Maroon 5 and Nickelback are better than Metallica. Oh dear. "How do you dance to Metallica?")
Panopticon is my album of the year. Even better than Oceanic.
Winnebago Deal - Dead Gone
Oceansize - Music For Nurses
I'm struggling to find a copy of Effloresce which isn't extortionately priced. Any suggestions?
Isis - Panopticon
Q Awards nominees: the usual suspects
I expect the artists are selected by the writers and the readers vote. But I'm not sure. I don't read said magazine.
