Let's talk about music

[PensFanInDC]

so question here from a noob... I normally listen to pandora on my iphone. I don't actually own any digital music (itunes is empty). I was looking for something like grooveshark or spotify that's free on iphone. make playlists, stream music, that sort of thing. I have amazon prime, so I have amazon music, but there are some albums (a lot of albums) that aren't available. anyone have a good app?

I know you said 'free' but how often do you use an app like that? We decided to pay the $10 a month for spotify and it's been well worth it for us to have the majority of the world's music and comedy at our disposal anytime we want it.

It was just kinda meh to me.

Right now I wouldn't use it often enough to really make it worth it. Possibly in the future where my commute to work isn't 5 minutes on a good day, 15 on a bad one.

Hmm where to start....

Hets vocals are kinda meh these days, which I know comes with age.

Lars has regressed since DM

No hook

4/10

Well for one thing you could clearly hear the vox. So there's a FC ding against it right there.

[FreeCandy44]

Haha! I know right? Where was the mumbling and downtuned guitars?

[PensFanInDC]

No hook? Seriously? Maybe not vocally but Metallica has always been about the musical hooks and that main riff is exquisite.

We agree on the vocals.

[tifosi77]

I think maybe FC clicked on the Beck video a few posts above and thought that was the MetallicA song.

[FreeCandy44]

Keep in mind I love Metallica and I even supported the Loads. However....this song just doesnt catch me. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy, and the riff is clunky. I just dont like it. :(

[PensFanInDC]

You know it's a rough cut right?

[FreeCandy44]

Dont you mean "slightly produced" like Garage Inc. Its killing you that I dont like this song huh?

[PensFanInDC]

Garage Inc was fully produced. Death Magnetic was not...

I think if you read the liner notes on Garage Inc it says "Slightly Produced by Bob Rock". Ill.give the song a second chance later buddy. ;)

In other news....Shawn Drover quit as the drummer of Megadeth. The band needs Nick Menza back asap. Hell...bring back the Rust In Peace lineup.

[PensFanInDC]

I thought McCovney was on that album.

[FreeCandy44]

On Rust In Peace?

[PensFanInDC]

Yeah. Or did he leave before that?

Megadeth was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

[FreeCandy44]

Megadeth Rust In Peace through Cryptic Writings era lineup is my fav.

Dave Mustaine - Guitars Vocals
David Ellefson - Bass B Vocals
Marty Friedman - Guitars
Nick Menza - Drums

This lineup was responsible for such classics as Rust, Countdown to Extinction, Youthansia, and Cryptic Writings.

That Lords of Summer track has been around for months. It's not that new.

That being said it's not bad. It's obviously a rough cut. The riffage is pretty good as usual. James voice is a bit all over the place. Lars is Lars. It could be shortened by a couple minutes to make it a much tighter track.

I don't think it's bad, but I hope if it makes the next album its reworked quite a bit before it gets there... which I'm sure it will be.

Garage Inc was def polished and produced. Now Garage Days Re Re-visited(after puppets but before justice).... not so much.

Thus the qoutes around New. And your post is spot on.

Sorry I'm half asleep missed the quotes. My bad.

Hopefully a new album is coming soon. It's been 6 years since Death Magnetic and I thought that was a major step in the right direction, though honestly the 4 songs they left off of DM and put on Beyond Magnetic I would have take a couple of those and put them on the album, especially Just a Bullet Away which has a friggin awesome main riff. Starts at like 1:10 or so. So simple yet so good. Rebel of Babylon was great too.

Went to see St. Vincent tonight. Holy non-stop erotic cabaret.

When I saw her this summer my impression was that she's Catwoman. Strong feline mannerisms.
