He is awesome in all the photos

He just wants someone to rock out with him

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.

I am the fossil!

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...

London

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

This is tragic news. It requires no explanation.

I'd say Creed are worse than Nickelback.. but only just.

Team Sleep - Team Sleep

I think I'll probably buy this. I listened to some of it online and I know exactly what you mean about expecting a crushing riff or trademark Moreno scream and I was hoping one or the other would appear somewhere. Hmm.. I'll risk it.

Re: Reading & Leeds Festival: Bands Announced

Maybe you mean bands that are wank shouldn't have a high place on the bill, rather than bands with one album.

Re: Reading & Leeds Festival: Bands Announced

Why should bands with only one album not headline the second stage? The set length is only an hour at Reading for the Radio 1 Stage headliner, and a band with one album out should have more than an albums worth of songs. Bloc Party would easily have enough material to play an interesting hour's set. I can't say the same for Kasabian.

Twin Zero - Monolith

I've preordered this from Undergroove, (linked from TwinZero website) and I've received an email saying they've posted this already. I'm sceptical, but I will let out a little
WOO YEAH
Noone has mentioned Middleton's connection with The Blueprint, whose debut is also rather good.

Muse

I'm not quite sure that Chris is a better bass player than Colin Greenwood.

Various - The OC Mix 3 (Chrismukkah)

The OC is bollocks. Turd.

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

I think Hundred Reasons are gone yes. Hell is for Heroes are sooo much better. A lot of people seem to love Reuben, I must get that album.

DiS end of year polls! Records! Bands! Gigs!

Some questions...
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

You've convinced me. I wasn't sure whether to get this. I now will. Thankyou.

Oceansize - Music For Nurses

ooooooooooohhhhh yes please.

I'm struggling to find a copy of Effloresce which isn't extortionately priced. Any suggestions?

Isis - Panopticon

Oceanic was great - but I'm not sure about Aaron Turner's screaming. Some of the songs would work as well without vocals I reckon. Is there as much screaming on this album?

Q Awards nominees: the usual suspects

A lot less of Maroon 5 in general. I went off on one the other night at a party when one of my mates said their latest 'song' was great.

I expect the artists are selected by the writers and the readers vote. But I'm not sure. I don't read said magazine.
