Feb 21 21:59:42 * Yahoozy is now listening to: Mastodon - The Wolf Is Loose Feb 21 21:59:50 I love The Wolf Is Loose. Feb 21 21:59:55 It's the most abrasive track, I think. Feb 21 21:59:56 Great way to kick off the album, this. Feb 21 22:00:46 Probably one of the more conventional as well, musically. Feb 21 22:00:57 It really is. Feb 21 22:00:58 ... Feb 21 22:01:09 But I think that's a good way to draw people like myself in.

Feb 21 22:03:06 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... Feb 21 22:03:08 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Sleeping Giant" Feb 21 22:03:11 * Tanner is listening to Crystal Skull by Mastodon (Blood Mountain). Feb 21 22:03:11 Crystal Skull. Feb 21 22:03:19 ... Feb 21 22:03:22 OH CRAP WHY DIDN'T YOU UPLOAD CRYSTAL SKULL Feb 21 22:03:23 This is my second favourite track. Feb 21 22:03:23 FUCK YOU, TANNER Feb 21 22:03:24 Without a doubt. Feb 21 22:03:35 * Yahoozy is now listening to: Mastodon - Crystal Skull Feb 21 22:03:36 This is probably my favourite track. Feb 21 22:03:42 I actually like the riff. Feb 21 22:03:44 I meant crustal skull! Feb 21 22:03:47 cystal! Feb 21 22:03:49 But it could do with a better tone, I would say. Feb 21 22:03:55 CRYST-FUCKING-SAL. Feb 21 22:03:59 I don't actually like any one thing on this album. Feb 21 22:04:01 The vocals annoy me. Feb 21 22:04:17 THe drumming is too single-minded. Feb 21 22:04:24 They're certainly an acquired taste. Feb 21 22:04:25 The vocals are fine. Feb 21 22:04:28 I hear that a lot when I recommend it to my metal friends, KinGAleX. Feb 21 22:04:28 The guitar tones are frustrating. Feb 21 22:04:42 Needs more distortion. Feb 21 22:04:49 But somehow, I don't mind it all together. Feb 21 22:04:58 The tone on Remission is fantastic. Feb 21 22:05:03 Like, I'd rather listen to this than Van Der GRaaf Generator. Feb 21 22:05:18 The drumming is thunderous. Feb 21 22:05:27 Heavy on the toms, yeah. Feb 21 22:05:29 It's bombastic. Feb 21 22:05:32 But all his fills are very similar. Feb 21 22:05:40 Four hits of snare to four hits of low tom. Feb 21 22:05:51 I prefer more linear playeres. Feb 21 22:06:03 I dunno, man. I sort of admire just his ability to keep this up during a live show. Feb 21 22:06:17 Well, in general, their energy is tremendous. Feb 21 22:06:22 I don't think it's any more astounding than other metal drummers. Feb 21 22:06:40 * Tanner is listening to Sleeping Giant by Mastodon (Blood Mountain). Feb 21 22:06:41 The energy is indeed tremendous. Feb 21 22:06:46 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Sleeping Giant, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:01 / 05:36] 272kbps Feb 21 22:06:50 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Sleeping Giant" Feb 21 22:06:55 Actually, this time. Feb 21 22:06:59 Hehe. Feb 21 22:06:59 :D Feb 21 22:07:05 Most metal drummers thrive on being the best. Feb 21 22:07:08 Speaking of tremendous energy. Feb 21 22:07:11 That's why I don't like this track. Feb 21 22:07:17 Because it starts with little energy. Feb 21 22:07:21 Once someone's better, they're expendable. Feb 21 22:07:28 I've always thought that way, at least. Feb 21 22:07:32 Unless they're terribly unique. Feb 21 22:07:47 Personally, I don't mind the break, KinGAleX. Feb 21 22:07:48 For defs. Feb 21 22:07:53 And I really like this part. Feb 21 22:07:59 I find it tiresome. Feb 21 22:08:02 All the best drummers have unique nuances. Feb 21 22:08:02 Don't like this kind of music. Feb 21 22:08:18 It's like low-tempo Tool played through a Twin Reverb. Feb 21 22:08:27 Would you have gone right to this part? Feb 21 22:08:29 Brian Chippendale will forever be my favorite drummer. Feb 21 22:08:31 That's energy. Feb 21 22:08:34 It blows my mind. Feb 21 22:08:36 Sure would've. Feb 21 22:08:40 Hmm. Feb 21 22:08:43 But I would have led in with this riff. Feb 21 22:08:51 And less of the metalcore guitar harmonies. Feb 21 22:09:09 The vocalist doing his best job here I think. Feb 21 22:09:09 But isn't why Mastodon is so fantastic? Feb 21 22:09:20 Because they blend all styles? Feb 21 22:09:32 Haha maybe to you. Feb 21 22:09:35 I never called 'em fantastic. Feb 21 22:09:36 They're listenable, yeah. Feb 21 22:09:39 This /really/ souds like Tool. Feb 21 22:09:50 Actually sounding like late Coheed and Cambria to me. Feb 21 22:09:56 Same guitar tone and delay. Feb 21 22:10:04 Yes. Feb 21 22:10:15 Same uninteresting guitar lines. Feb 21 22:10:15 I'd have to go check but I'm pretty sure Blood Mountain made your best of list for '06, KA. Feb 21 22:10:17 With that annoying distortion as well. Feb 21 22:10:26 One of the Tool dudes will make an appearance on the new Isis. Feb 21 22:10:28 I'll check, man. Feb 21 22:10:52 Nope, it wasn't in my top ten. Feb 21 22:10:57 Huh. Feb 21 22:10:58 it would have been top fifteen. Feb 21 22:11:04 Indeed, it's only a short contribution. Feb 21 22:11:25 I'd totally rehaul that list, thinking back now. Feb 21 22:11:33 Mars Volta'd be out of there. Feb 21 22:11:37 That chromatic tapping lick annoys me. Feb 21 22:11:39 I hate making yearly list. Feb 21 22:11:40 As would Flaming Lips and Mountain Goats. Feb 21 22:11:46 Well, irks. Feb 21 22:11:49 Hindsight is 20/20. Feb 21 22:11:54 Totally. Feb 21 22:11:56 I always feel that I have to pluck an album I didn't even really enjoy and place it in the list because there's nothing else. Feb 21 22:12:13 Eh, I think I listen to enough to warrant not doing that. Feb 21 22:12:16 * Tanner is listening to Capillarian Crest by Mastodon (Blood Mountain). Feb 21 22:12:20 * Yahoozy is now listening to: Mastodon - Capillarian Crest Feb 21 22:12:25 That said I've heard about five or six albums from this year already. Feb 21 22:12:27 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Capillarian Crest" Feb 21 22:12:28 And haven't enjoyed any of them greatly. Feb 21 22:12:30 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Capillarian Crest, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:08 / 04:25] 269kbps Feb 21 22:12:38 I do like the vocals in this track. Feb 21 22:12:48 So obvious and straightforward. Feb 21 22:12:56 And a good almost black metal growl there. Feb 21 22:12:59 Tanner, will you be around for another listen after this one? Feb 21 22:13:10 Doubtful. Feb 21 22:13:17 Meh. Feb 21 22:13:18 What did you have in mind? Feb 21 22:13:27 Lightning Bolt. Feb 21 22:13:33 I couldn't do Refused. Feb 21 22:13:38 Not after this drumming. Feb 21 22:13:45 Some other time. Feb 21 22:13:50 There is a complete absence of good drumming on that album. Feb 21 22:13:53 Ooh. Feb 21 22:13:56 KinGAleX? Feb 21 22:13:59 This part> Feb 21 22:14:18 This is a very KinGAleX part. Feb 21 22:14:24 Not really. Feb 21 22:14:29 It's an old KinGAleX part. Feb 21 22:14:30 Drumming is a bit generic in this bit. Feb 21 22:14:33 This isn't a very KinGAleX part. Feb 21 22:14:56 I do dig the left panned tapping thing. Feb 21 22:14:59 I hate the vocals here. Feb 21 22:15:02 But yeah, drumming was poorly executed. Feb 21 22:15:05 I like these vocals. Feb 21 22:15:09 And the right pan was unnecessary. Feb 21 22:15:16 Why are we so different? ;-; Feb 21 22:15:19 Too cacophonic for me. Feb 21 22:15:33 Not enough maximalism. Feb 21 22:15:58 * AF (AF@wpe-27953E46.ptld.qwest.net) has joined #Music Feb 21 22:16:26 AF, you should've listened to this with us.

Feb 21 22:16:46 Your musical compatibility with KinGAleX is Very Low Feb 21 22:16:47 * Borealis np Mastodon "Circle of Cysquatch" Feb 21 22:16:51 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Circle of Cysquatch, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:03 / 03:19] 269kbps Feb 21 22:17:00 That's strange. Feb 21 22:17:01 There is literally nothing on this bar of compatibility. Feb 21 22:17:07 The intro. was much louder than what came after. Feb 21 22:17:10 Oh, wait. Feb 21 22:17:14 I'm not a huge fan of this song. Feb 21 22:17:14 This is an old account. Feb 21 22:17:16 The intro I like. Feb 21 22:17:37 I like the use of the opening lick as a bassy riff later on. Feb 21 22:17:43 That's my kind of continuity thing. Feb 21 22:17:46 That shit's all over my album. Feb 21 22:17:50 Otherwise this could be a crossover thrash band from 1981. Feb 21 22:18:09 Not enough palm muting. Feb 21 22:18:22 Oh, there we go. Feb 21 22:18:24 That's palm muting. Feb 21 22:18:27 Ewww. Feb 21 22:18:29 Vocal effects. Feb 21 22:18:30 Heh. Feb 21 22:18:32 I realize why they did this distorted vocals part but I still hate it. Feb 21 22:18:34 * KinGAleX crosses fingers.

Feb 21 22:19:34 I dislike this part. Feb 21 22:19:41 I'm Yahoozy, Alex. Feb 21 22:19:45 My... fourth account? Feb 21 22:19:51 Our compatibility is Very High? Feb 21 22:19:51 Hahaha. Feb 21 22:19:55 I just can't dislike a well-crafted if unoriginal breakdown. Feb 21 22:19:58 Random chuggy parts. Feedback. Feb 21 22:20:03 I'll add you. Feb 21 22:20:05 Grrr.

Feb 21 22:20:08 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Bladecatcher" Feb 21 22:20:09 BEST TRACK Feb 21 22:20:15 By far! Feb 21 22:20:15 Hands down. Feb 21 22:20:18 Pants down. Feb 21 22:20:18 Yeah. Feb 21 22:20:19 No vocals. Feb 21 22:20:22 Guitar soli. Feb 21 22:20:23 <3 Feb 21 22:20:44 I'm still going to have to say Crystal Skull but this is a close second for me. Feb 21 22:20:48 Interesting arpeggios as well! Feb 21 22:20:55 Yeah. Feb 21 22:21:03 Definitely some intelligent chord changes here. Feb 21 22:21:09 Use of whole tone. Feb 21 22:21:10 I dig. Feb 21 22:21:16 The first track is still my favorite. Feb 21 22:21:21 This is my favorite bit. Feb 21 22:21:24 This one is very cool, though. Feb 21 22:21:24 This bit coming up. Feb 21 22:21:27 That blues modulation. Feb 21 22:21:29 Fuckin' sweet. Feb 21 22:21:37 Definitely. Feb 21 22:21:53 This is Battles and Mastodon having sticky sex. Feb 21 22:21:59 The vocal parts. Feb 21 22:22:05 Psh. Feb 21 22:22:50 Battles? Feb 21 22:22:51 Gtfo. Feb 21 22:22:59 Ygtfo. Feb 21 22:23:03 Fu. Feb 21 22:23:04 K. Feb 21 22:23:10 The only part I'd fault on Bladecather is the end. Feb 21 22:23:11 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Bladecatcher, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [03:03 / 03:20] 276kbps Feb 21 22:23:14 OH SHIT IT AINTS A NEW TRACK YET Feb 21 22:23:17 I don't like that. Feb 21 22:23:18 I like the end. Feb 21 22:23:20 This song is too short though. Feb 21 22:23:24 * Tanner is listening to Colony Of Birchmen by Mastodon (Blood Mountain). Feb 21 22:23:30 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Colony of Birchmen, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:00 / 04:19] 275kbps Feb 21 22:23:31 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Colony of Birchmen" Feb 21 22:23:47 This has got to be about Ents. Feb 21 22:23:48 Straight up. Feb 21 22:23:49 Ents. Feb 21 22:23:52 The single. Feb 21 22:23:55 Hell yes it is. Feb 21 22:23:57 Couldn't you tell? Feb 21 22:23:59 Your musical compatibility with TaffyTramp is Very Low Feb 21 22:24:03 ;_; Feb 21 22:24:10 This song isn't a favorite. Feb 21 22:24:18 Single? Feb 21 22:24:30 People still release those? Feb 21 22:24:50 Hahahaha. Feb 21 22:24:54 Yes it is odd. Feb 21 22:25:38 It's not the best track but it does sort of summarize the "plot" of the album. Feb 21 22:25:47 If ya get me. Feb 21 22:26:03 Honestly I don't pay much attention to the vocals. Feb 21 22:26:10 Unfortunately I'm not interested enough in the music to be interested in the plot. Feb 21 22:26:14 They're definitely the weakest part of the band. Feb 21 22:26:40 I'll lay it out for you. Feb 21 22:26:46 The album's about Ents. Feb 21 22:26:47 The guitar tone overall, across the whole album, just isn't right really. Feb 21 22:26:49 Fuckin' Ents. Feb 21 22:27:33 The tremolo picking bit ain't right. Feb 21 22:27:39 * Tanner is listening to Hunters Of The Sky by Mastodon (Blood Mountain). Feb 21 22:27:47 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Hunters of the Sky" Feb 21 22:27:48 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Hunters of the Sky, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:01 / 03:52] 270kbps Feb 21 22:27:59 The musicians are coming down hard on this album. Feb 21 22:28:02 Nah it ain't. Feb 21 22:28:10 That's 'cause these guys don't have many chops. Feb 21 22:28:18 I quite like this one. Feb 21 22:28:23 To the layman, yeah, they've got more chops than Acca Dacca. Feb 21 22:28:34 Hahahahaha. Feb 21 22:28:34 Layman? Why, that's me! Feb 21 22:28:49 Gahahahaha. Feb 21 22:29:10 Paysage D'Hiver, now that's flawless tremolo picking. Feb 21 22:29:23 There's an Acca Dacca street in Melbourne? Feb 21 22:29:30 If you can hear it through the wasp-in-a-tin production. Feb 21 22:30:03 This album seems to have been produced differently on some songs. Feb 21 22:30:24 There is? That's a new one on me. Feb 21 22:30:24 This is probably my third favorite. Feb 21 22:31:14 Boring ending. Feb 21 22:31:16 Mastodon ain't so good at ending a track. Feb 21 22:31:19 Hah. Feb 21 22:31:26 No. Feb 21 22:31:28 Fadeouts are laaaaaame. Feb 21 22:31:35 The only good fadeout ever is Siberian Khatru. Feb 21 22:31:41 And it's only good because the rest of the song is so amazing. Feb 21 22:31:47 That there's no way anyone could want it to end. Feb 21 22:31:48 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Hand of Stone" Feb 21 22:31:50 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Hand of Stone, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:09 / 03:30] 272kbps Feb 21 22:31:54 * Tanner is listening to Hand Of Stone by Mastodon (Blood Mountain). Feb 21 22:31:59 The fadeout makes me sad. Feb 21 22:32:15 Whatever happened to segue? Feb 21 22:32:21 Indeed. Feb 21 22:32:29 I've got 'em coming out of my asshole on my album. Feb 21 22:32:33 Laziness happened to segue. Feb 21 22:32:44 There's no practical reason to have a fadeout. Feb 21 22:32:54 And don't even get me started on crossfade. Feb 21 22:32:58 Grrr. Feb 21 22:33:12 Oh, nah, no-one crossfades. Feb 21 22:33:14 That's a joke, right? Feb 21 22:33:40 Vsnares did when I saw him live. That annoyed me. Feb 21 22:33:53 How's VSnares live? Feb 21 22:33:59 Huh. Feb 21 22:34:00 That's annoying. Feb 21 22:34:18 Haha, I think we forgot to care about this album while we're listening to it. Feb 21 22:34:21 'Cause it's so unremarkable. Feb 21 22:34:31 That bit from Hajnal, the jazzy bit into the breakcore. Feb 21 22:34:38 But yeah, he's good. Feb 21 22:34:38 OH GOD I LOVE THAT PART Feb 21 22:34:46 Crossfades is gotta be different when you're running disks live, though. Feb 21 22:34:56 I much preferred Otto von Schirach though. Feb 21 22:35:04 This sounds very KinGAleX. Feb 21 22:35:05 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Hunters of the Sky" Feb 21 22:35:08 * Tanner is listening to This Mortal Soil by Mastodon (Blood Mountain). Feb 21 22:35:09 grr., Feb 21 22:35:11 ... Feb 21 22:35:15 ... Feb 21 22:35:21 * Borealis np: Mastodon "This Mortal Soil" Feb 21 22:35:26 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - This Mortal Soil, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:15 / 05:00] 272kbps Feb 21 22:35:27 BETTER?! Feb 21 22:35:33 Better! :D Feb 21 22:35:39 * Yahoozy is now listening to: Mastodon - This Mortal Soil Feb 21 22:35:41 This is annoying. Feb 21 22:35:45 Because it sounds like it's Opeth. Feb 21 22:35:48 With flange. Feb 21 22:35:53 I don't like flange. Feb 21 22:35:54 This sounds very KinGAleX. Feb 21 22:36:01 Well, I do like flange. Feb 21 22:36:04 But I don't ike Mastodon using it. Feb 21 22:36:11 Ahaha! >:( Feb 21 22:36:16 This sounds very unlike anything KinGAleX would listen to.* Feb 21 22:36:20 Flange pretty much works with Hawkwind and not much else. Feb 21 22:36:22 Why did they do that intro? Feb 21 22:36:28 This sounds moderately like something KinGAleX would listen to.* Feb 21 22:36:28 I dunno! Feb 21 22:36:29 It was completely different from the song, and uninteresting. Feb 21 22:36:35 I like that vocal part. Feb 21 22:36:45 It's very melodic. Feb 21 22:36:46 Does it even count as an intro if it doesn't really introduce anything? Feb 21 22:36:48 And I hate this part. Feb 21 22:36:52 I like this part. Feb 21 22:37:06 I don't like this track. Feb 21 22:37:25 I like how we skipped "Hand of Stone". Feb 21 22:37:31 That's pretty much unremarkable. Feb 21 22:37:46 We had to address crossfades. Feb 21 22:37:51 Hahahahaha. Feb 21 22:37:51 It was important. Feb 21 22:38:13 I did remark as to how unremarkable it was. Feb 21 22:38:18 It's funny that Borealis was the first to say he wanted to do a listen to this. Feb 21 22:38:26 * Calcy has quit (Quit: Leaving) Feb 21 22:38:30 Tanner is the only one with something positive to say. Feb 21 22:38:43 Only because Tanner proposed it. Feb 21 22:38:44 Hey, I said I liked one track. Feb 21 22:38:55 Oh, I thought you proposed it. Feb 21 22:38:56 Haha. Feb 21 22:38:56 I liked this album before I heard it harshed upon so. Feb 21 22:38:57 It's Finally FRee. Feb 21 22:38:58 D: Feb 21 22:39:01 They're playing Finally Free. Feb 21 22:39:02 Hahahahaha. Feb 21 22:39:05 They're so doing it. Feb 21 22:39:10 Take that, Dream Theater. Feb 21 22:39:21 Because of this, Tanner, you have to accept my next five suggestions. Feb 21 22:39:24 KA, sometime we need to do Bath and LYBM. Marathon. Feb 21 22:39:28 Haha alright. Feb 21 22:39:39 I'd join. Feb 21 22:39:42 And anyone else! Feb 21 22:39:47 I'll have to get the albums again. Feb 21 22:39:55 This chorus is moderately interesting. Feb 21 22:39:56 I haven't listened to motW in a year or so. Feb 21 22:40:05 * Borealis np: Mastodon "Siberian Divide" Feb 21 22:40:06 * Tanner is listening to Siberian Divide by Mastodon (Blood Mountain). Feb 21 22:40:13 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Siberian Divide, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:02 / 05:32] 273kbps Feb 21 22:40:23 Hrmph. Metalcore intro? Feb 21 22:40:25 This is one I listened to more than the rest of the album. Feb 21 22:40:27 Because it's in seven. Feb 21 22:40:54 Ugh. Feb 21 22:40:56 Frustrating drums fills. Feb 21 22:41:00 This one isn't bad. Feb 21 22:41:01 Unnecessary. Feb 21 22:41:07 And bad. Feb 21 22:41:09 Not bad at all. Feb 21 22:41:15 Man, I'm doing a musical by Sondheim. Everything's in seven/eight time. Feb 21 22:41:16 The track, not the drum fills. Feb 21 22:41:22 Mmm. Feb 21 22:41:28 Seven's easy. Feb 21 22:41:38 Fuckin' Tom's written something in 19/16 at 240 bpm. Feb 21 22:41:48 3, 3, 3, 5, 5. Feb 21 22:41:49 Fuckin' Tom! Feb 21 22:41:51 Aha! Feb 21 22:42:06 Alright if you're Meshuggah. Feb 21 22:42:17 Granted i've got a guitar intro that alternates 11/4 and 7/8. Feb 21 22:42:25 And 5s everywhere. Feb 21 22:42:33 Nah, we've got some Meshuggahy bits. Feb 21 22:42:36 Long developing 4s. Feb 21 22:42:43 We're going to sound like such music nerds when this goes on the forums. Feb 21 22:42:44 We did once have one in 11/8. Feb 21 22:42:52 That's about as complicated as it went. Feb 21 22:43:01 Eh. Feb 21 22:43:05 But being a music nerd technically makes you cool. Feb 21 22:43:06 One of the intros is 13/8 10/8. Feb 21 22:43:09 Over and over. Feb 21 22:43:13 Hm. Feb 21 22:43:24 Into 6/4. Feb 21 22:43:26 The interlude is as well. Feb 21 22:43:32 And then to 15/4 after that. Feb 21 22:43:33 Between Fighting... Feb 21 22:43:39 Isn't it? Feb 21 22:43:47 What's happening with these vocals?!?!? Feb 21 22:43:54 Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Feb 21 22:43:55 My eardrums just melted. Feb 21 22:43:58 This part sounds like Tool. Feb 21 22:44:00 I like them. Feb 21 22:44:03 Ah right. Feb 21 22:44:20 Again, I'm a sucker for a breakdown. Feb 21 22:44:25 I have problems. Feb 21 22:44:42 This one'sa very black metal breakdown. Feb 21 22:44:46 I've played one of those Ibanez 8-strings they use. Feb 21 22:44:49 But unfortunately without the other black metal staples. Feb 21 22:45:06 I don't even like downtuning. Feb 21 22:45:11 Speaking of black metal. Feb 21 22:45:15 But we've got a few in D and one in drop C, I think. Feb 21 22:45:21 Do you guys have Dead as Dreams by Weakling? Feb 21 22:45:25 Yeah, ...Savage. Feb 21 22:45:30 Yeah. Feb 21 22:45:37 the black metal one's in C standard, too. Feb 21 22:45:39 * Tanner is listening to Pendelous Skin (Hidden Track) by Mastodon (Blood Mountain). Feb 21 22:45:42 See, I remember! Feb 21 22:45:45 * KinGAleX is now playing: Mastodon - Pendulous Skin, from Blood Mountain, 2006 [00:00 / 22:15] 260kbps Feb 21 22:45:46 Throwaway track. Feb 21 22:45:46 Because I want to do a listening to that at some time. Feb 21 22:45:46 Yeah. Feb 21 22:45:56 The next two are, Tanner. Feb 21 22:46:08 * Borealis np Mastodon "Pendelous Skin". Feb 21 22:46:08 I need to send you the updated version, Bor. Feb 21 22:46:12 I don't think we need to go all the way to hear Homme fanboy up. Feb 21 22:46:15 You'd better have RSE. Feb 21 22:46:17 Or it's just not the same. Feb 21 22:46:24 No way I'm listening to all of this track, man. Feb 21 22:46:39 Hahaha. Feb 21 22:46:44 Resounding fail? Feb 21 22:46:48 Borealis and KA are having a completely seperate conversation intertwined with this listening. Feb 21 22:46:52 YOU GUYS BETTER STOP Feb 21 22:46:53 I do have RSE, yes. Feb 21 22:47:22 Good, good. Feb 21 22:47:29 'Cause I've written some qicked shit. Feb 21 22:48:00 I have RSI as well. Feb 21 22:48:03 :( Feb 21 22:48:04 Haha. Feb 21 22:48:08 So do I, actually. Feb 21 22:48:09 From using tongs. Feb 21 22:48:30 Anyway. Feb 21 22:48:32 I'm done with this album. Feb 21 22:48:34 This is the worst track. Feb 21 22:48:43 And the last one! Feb 21 22:48:56 Borealis. Feb 21 22:49:03 Is Tiamat's new album good? Feb 21 22:49:14 Man, this listening has spiraled into nothingness. Feb 21 22:49:21 Joking, yeah? Feb 21 22:49:22 We haven't actually talked about this album for ten minutes. Feb 21 22:49:29 No, I don't have it. ;-; Feb 21 22:49:41 Tiamat after Wildhoney = *thumbsdown* Feb 21 22:49:44 Eh, if Mastodon's bad at ending tracks, they're equally bad at ending albums. Feb 21 22:49:49 I thought so. Feb 21 22:49:53 Haha, true. Feb 21 22:49:59 Interestingly enough, I only /have/ Wildhoney. Feb 21 22:50:16 I guess that's a good thing. Feb 21 22:50:27 * Borealis np: The Tangent "Lost in London 25 Years Later" Feb 21 22:50:30 Alex! Feb 21 22:50:38 Alright. Close enough. Feb 21 22:50:41 Yay! Feb 21 22:50:41 Durn! Feb 21 22:50:43 That's a good album! Feb 21 22:50:45 "For some strange reason we decided to talk about sex..." Feb 21 22:50:48 :p Feb 21 22:50:57 DEAR MASTODON I LIKE WHEN YOU END ALBUMS WITH PRETENTIOUS RECORDINGS. I'M LYING. IT'S FUCKING TERRIBLE.
