I didn't say their guitarist sucked, I just said I've heard better. And I have heard Stratovarius, Rhapsody, In Flames, and Opeth(or whatever that one was called). Remember that my post is my personal opinion, and I just don't like Slipknot anymore, no matter how talented others think they are.

Artist: Thousand Foot Krutch
Album: The Art Of Breaking
Song: Absolute
Comment: Title says it all. They tell that the world is full of a load of lies, and there is at least a few things that are absolute. 10/10

I've tried to hide it, but I can't sleep at night
Everything I think about makes me feel like a version of myself
They tell their lies and we all syncronize
Look to the sky because it's almost over

We want the truth, give us the Absolute
We need your help, 'cause we've got nothing!

We want the truth, give us the Absolute
We need your help, 'cause we've got nothing left to lose
I know we've tried this thing a million times
But put me out, 'cause I'm on fire

Don't talk if you aren't gonna tell me the truth
Don't tell me you know and you've got everything under control
We can't have it all, but we can break the fall
This time I'm letting god, 'cause I can't take it anymore

Wait 'til the bottle breaks, see how it all shakes
Who's gonna be around? Who's gonna hear the sound?
Wait 'til the smoke clears, who's gonna volunteer?
Stand if you're gonna stand, everybody's here
Take what you're gonna take, make what you want to make
Say what you're gonna say and break if you're gonna break

I can't seem to understand why you are continuously so defensive man? Just lighten up a little, I know it's all in your opinion, just as everything I say is in my opinion.

As I Lay Dying - Confined



"That night I never came home.
Wandering souls captured my thoughts..
Emptiness filled my mind.
Urgency spoke her lies.
In the confines of these grey walls.
I watched them move together.
Taking me places I cannot remember (remember).
We have been poured out...
Into a loveless bride..
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless.
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless.
In a world passing through my fingers.
I still chase the wind.
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless
what have I learned from yesterday?
what have I learned from yesterday?"

Devils... Monster... - Halo Soundtrack

Basicly it's the theme that plays when you are well under heavy attack of only Flood, mostly those moments you'll hear that.

Very good theme in my eyes.

Metallica - ...And Justice for All

I borrowed "..And Justice for All", "Kill 'Em All", and "Load" today off my older brother today. I couldn't find "Re-load" so I'll have to make do with these 3 for now. Metallica is a band I have always liked but never really gotten into. Now with 5 of their albums on my comp (I also have "St. Anger" and "Master of Puppets") I can really start appreciating them. really reminds me of when I was little and we played them in the car on the way to footy :P . Top band.

[Wiflewood]

The White Stripes:The hardest button to button (Elephant)

I really want their new album, but I've been listening to it on holiday a lot. The lyrics are a bit weird, but I like the flow of it. 8/10

[Luna]

BoA - Rain

I think they're Korean... Their song "Duvet" was used for the opening theme of Serial Experiments Lain. I love their style <3 They make good use of the guitar and vocals.

[Yuki]

Motion City Soundtrack
Everything Is Alright

The music video is wacky XD there's three ptients and each one keeps singing a different line to the song. o.o Great song. And these guys were on the Vans Warp Tour =3

[Eugine]

The Cranberries - Linger

That's one of my favourite slow song to date and I don't listen too much of slow songs.

[Yuki]

Mr. Brightside
The Killers

I love the Killers. They're cd was awesome. This song is my heartbreak song =(

[Eugine]

My favourite Killers song is "Somebody told me". That's the first song I heard from them and it was my only played song for over a week.

[Luna]

The Cranberries - Linger

Listening to: Portishead - Nobody Loves Me

I recently discovered I've been listening to trip hop all of my life but I never knew it was called trip hop. And I love it. Sho, I went in search for more trip hop bands and found Portishead. They say it's one of the best <<;

Diamonds of Sierra Lione
Kanye West

A song about the diamond mines in Africa.

Gold Digger
Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx

I just saw the music video for this song 2 days ago and it's off his new album 'Late Registration'.

[Golden Djinn13]

Kanye West is probably my favorite rapper. I want his new album ( but i spent all my money :P )

[Yuki]

Same here. My brother has the album (I think) but he won't share...

[Golden Djinn13]

If I didnt buy that stupid Naruto comic, I could have bought it. :P

[Elliott]

Chimaira - Nothing Remains

Of the new self titled album, gotta buy it along with "The Impossibility of Reason".

Rating: 10/10 (awesome double kicks)

[Mycarayne]

Going under - Evanescence

Not the biggest fan of this band, but she has an awesome singing voice and in this song, it show's well.

[Elliott]

You dissapoint me MR...

I was just listening to a song of the new Stratovarius album which is self titled. Song is called "Fight", and these guys, after producing so many albums, just don't let down in the quality of their music. Top song.

Rating: 9/10

[Eugine]

I was a fan of Evanescence until I started listening to Greenday :P

Listening to "Under D Oil - Butas" None of you ever ever heard of this song because its a Grenadian song. ^^

Simple, yet annoying, yet cool song. Yep.

[Mycarayne]

Sorry? Does this make you feel better:

Get Psycho - Disturbed.

Love this song. Especially at very high decibels while driving.

Everyone has a soft spot right Agatio?

[Neon]

'My Last Breath' by Evanescence is pretty cool :P. Only song by them I ever think to listen to. 'Going Under' is also pretty good. The rest is... not as good :\

[Wiflewood]

I listen to Evanescence a bit, but not alot. Currently I'm mostly listening to music from unsigned bands, there are a lot of websites with free downloadable music from unsigned/not well known bands.

Here is a band I found that I'm particularly fond of:

www.alphino.co.uk

They only have 3 downloadable songs to date, but 'Killing me' is quite a good one IMO. I'm listening to it right now in fact, it has nice chords and a good pace. 8/10

[Yuki]

The Used
I Caught Fire

"I'm melting in your eyes, like my first time that I caught fire"
Great lyrics and it's kind of a sad love song v.v The Used are always good...

annnd...

Down With The Sickness
The Disturbed

A disturbing song...they make monkey sounds and it's from Queen Of The Damned o.o my favorite song from that movie...

[Luna]

After Forever - Follow In The Cry

Interesting melodic something metal band a friend gave to me the other day. Wikipedia says it's goth/doom metal + classic elements. You could compare them to Therion and Nightwish (sort of), I like their style better though :3.

[Elliott]

Evanescence are just a truly crap band.

Heaven Shall Burn - Bleeding to Death

Latest band I'm listening to, got a bunch of their songs last night and this is the first I have listned to. Awesome stuff.

And As I lay dying owns. They were the Top Christian Band of July.

Artist: As I Lay Dying
Album: Shadows Are Security
Song: The Darkest Nights

For so long I have felt alone.
Content to live with unrest.
Longing to fade into countless nights
That buried my weary heart.

But You brought an end to this dead hour
And meaning to this calloused life.
Held in Your arms but too far from my heart.

These thoughts will carry me through the darkest nights,
While Your eyes rest in mine.

I remember the way You loked at me
And the way You drew me close with one deep sigh.
Scattering pieces of my restless mind
Forgetting all that we have left behind.

The songs says that God brought the dude to a better way of life (Noticed how "you" is always capitalized, when speaking about God). It also, as you can see, shows the emotion felt as he is embraced.

[Elliott]

Bleah, Christian or not they are an amazing band. I like the way in which they write though. They don't write praise or worship music, they write music that send a practical and useful lesson to people.

Karnivool - Sewn and Silent

Benn a while since I listened to these guys, great stuff.

Rating: 9/10

[Echo_djinn]

Listening to Ludacris. Gone back to the old rap singles. 50 cent, Jay-Z, and Mario are songs I hear all the time at my friends house.

Stand up.

"Watch out for my medallions. My diamonds are reackless it feels like a midgit is hanging from my neckless".

[Luna]

After Forever - Beautiful Emptiness

I love the...choire? XDAnd the violin. They play a big part in this piece.

[Yuki]

Surfer Girl
Beach Boys

I don't care if they're an old band, I love this song!!! n.nV It reminds me of a summer night love song. I seem to be listening to alot of those lately...

[Luna]

Techno version of the Phantom of the Opera <<; I have no idea who's the artist or anything. It sounds more like gym techno than any other type of techno but, it's the Phantom <3

[Yuki]

That movie was awesome :P

The Ghost Of You
My Chemical Romance

Ehh...more of a funeral song...but a very good one. One of my MANY favorites

[Eugine]

Coldplay - Clocks

That's one of my favourite Coldplay songs, along with Beautiful World, Yellow and The Scientist.

[Neon]

Best Coldplay songs are 'politik', 'clocks', and 'white shadows' imo :P. Politik especially. I love the thumping drum/piano parts XD.

Listening to Coldplay now :(.

Im listening to: "Battery" by Metallica.
Nice song, as are most by Metallica. But to me, this one stands out. It's fast and just had a great sound to it.

9.5/10

[Elliott]

Cannibal Corpse - Deceny Defied

Probably my favourite death metal song of all time. Drums, guitars. and vocals are all great in this song.

"Tell me how it feels, when your flesh is peeled"

Rating: 10/10

[Eugine]

Greenday - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

Yep. This is one of my favourite Greenday's song. Everyone here should love it, and try it if they didn't.

[Elliott]

As I Lay Dying - A Thousand Steps

Oy my Forking god, how do they fit so much music into a minute and 45 seconds?

Brilliant song, 9/10

[Eugine]

Chic - Le Freak

Yep, I thought I'd just listen to some old school now. One of the classic old school songs. Anyone who likes old school, download it. You wouldn't be dissapointed.

No Chrsitian band uses nothing that's full of worship as contempory Christian does, with the exeption of a select few. But they do write songs about GOD, and yes, it is a form of worship to As I Lay Dying. :P

I GOT A NEW CD TODAY! Thousand foot krutch - "The Art of Breaking"

It's awesome! Listening to Absolute. It's a an awesome song with a surprisingly great chorus. 10 of 10

[Luna]

After Forever - Follow In The Cry

First song I ever listened by them :O It was good enough to get me into them <3

[Elliott]

In Flames - Reroute to Remain

Sheba needs to get into In Flames if she isn't already (think Soilwork but, exactly the same).

Rating: 10/10

[Eothain]

Corazon Espinado-Mana feat. Carlos Santana. 8/10. Guitars are amazing (it's carlos santana...), just the song is too long, and gets repetitive as the words just start to be repeated over and over. kind of song i listen to that's more on the "instrumental" side, and not at all heavy.

[Elliott]

Lamb of God - Vigil

I absolutely LOVE the lyrics to this song!

Our father thy will be done.
I have denied this life its worth
I will not be the victim.
Sickness to you my master
Here's to getting worse
Hope it kills you faster.
Show me how it hurts to rot from the inside out.
This vigil burns
Until the day our fires overtake you.
Our father we forsake you.
Blessed be his name
Nothing now the same.
Ask me why I hate
Why Ive prayed to see the nation that I love disintegrate
And gladly give my life
That revolution regenerates.
In honor of the strife of those who've died
In generations before for your blood stained glory
I reject you
I deny you
I defy you to continue.
Smite the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.

Rating: 10/10

[Neon]

Evanescence - My Last Breath
Everyone seems to agree they're pretty bad, but I still like this song. I think the biggest problem is the guitars. They do their job I guess, but they're definately nothing special. What they need is to add another guitar on top of what they have already but with a more intricate melody, and a few solos :P.

[Eugine]

Avril Lavigne - My Happy Ending

She's one of my favourite artists, I love her. I listen to her album alot too. Great song 9/10 in my book :P

[Gardna]

Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot

Nice one, it is like these oldschool british rock songs 8/10

[Yuki]

Coldplay
Fix You

Their new single. It really...I dunno. Colplay has always had lyrics that get to you. This one is no different...

Oh and Gardna, that song is awesome!!! I love the Kaiser Chiefs =)

[Gardna]

I have heard this song just today along with two more pieces (i can't remember names) on MTV - the Threesome Thursday, and i downloaded it instantly :P

[Yuki]

I know! I heard this song like...last October, and I feel in love with it. Old british rock is awesome.

The Clash
I Fought The Law

I fought the law and the law won! I fought the law and the law won! I love this song. The Clash has to be one of my favorite old british rock bands.

And...

The Sex Pistols
God Save The Queen

Only song I really listen to by them

[Luna]

The Agony Scene - We Bury Our Dead At Dawn

I have no idea where I got this band from. o.o I think I once read one of Agatio's posts and decided to try it out. They're good <3.

Lyrics:

GO!

Their whispers
become
like cries
tears fall from blinded eyes
ninty nine have burned as embers
ninty nine have lost their lives
tired arms
now fight for life
amidst the crash-
shing waves they're drowning

will you
hold me
until mornings light
and i'll
tell you
what its like to die
die tonight
its to late
to cry

now she sees her face
and screams
was once
so beautiful
now kissed by flames
and showered
with glass
so beautiful
yet so cruel
the way love tends to be
her beauty
so cruel
the way love tends to be

will you
hold me
until mornings light
and i'll
tell you
what its like to die
will you
hold me
until mornings light
and i'll
tell you
what its like to die

[Elliott]

Get "The Darkest Red" (album) Sheba, it won't disapoint.

Lamb of God - Vigil (again)

One of my favourite songs now.

[Eothain]

Korn-freak on a leash. I dunno, i'm not SUCH a big fan of korn, but this song rocks. I LOVE it. Old korn stuff is good, but anything from the "untouchables" album and newer is crap. Good korn: follow the leader, issues...basically everything BEFORE untouchables.

[Izar]

Artist: The Chariot
Album: Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead And Nothing Is Bleeding
Song: Die Interviewer (I Am Only Speaking In German)

This world is a stage.
Broken bones, no regrets.
This world is a stage and everyone seems to have their opinion.
Stick around, stay a while.
I am choking on someone else's blood and the fingerprints of God.
So stick around and let me tell you about it because far too many don't say.

Awesome song, along the lines of Norma Jean, Underoath, As I Lay Dying, and As Cities Burn. 9/10

[Yuki]

Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai
Hapa

A new Hawaiian group who's cd I just bought. Really good band. Mostly use hawaiian instruments but sometimes use harmonicas and stuff. Really good song.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
'Even The Losers'

Apocalyptica - Distracton

Cellos <3 This is one of my favourite songs by them. And and, I'm going to their concert soon. :D

Apocolyptica are awesome!! =)

x.x yes I actually know who they are...

I didn't know these guys were a christian band =O I thought they were rock...But they're an awesome band! And if they're Christian, even better! ^-^

Avenged Sevenfold-Unholy Confessions. Well...gotta love avenged...nothing can be done about it. 9/10. The intro to this song is very unique, it's amazing. I like it.

^Gotta love Avenged <3

My Bloody Valentine - Soon

This is shoegazing rock <3 It's just wonderful.

[Gardna]

Metallica - Fuel

Good old piece of metal, i love this song ^_^

10/10

[Yuki]

Wheatus
Teenage Dirtbag

This song is a love/f*ck it all kind of song. It's about a guy, and he likes a girl, but she can't see him. So he's singing about her with his band. :3 How very original

"I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby, yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby. Listen to Iron Maiden maybe with me whooo ohhh ohhhhh"

9/10

[Luna]

Sigur Ros - Staralfur

For some reason, I've been getting into Icelandish bands lately. They have great stuff <3 It's all industrially, electronic-y, shoegazing rockish-y, etc. They even sing in nonsense Icelandish which is just an invented language that sounds like Icelandish :B

[Eothain]

metallica- Nothing else matters
such a good song. I'm not a huge fan of metallica, but they sure as hell have their good stuff.

[Yuki]

Tommy Heavenly6

Japanese band. Off the cd I got a while ago called 'Japan For Sale 4'. o.o awesome songs...

Cannibal Corpse - Psychotic Precision

Psychotic or not they need a way of...

In hell they will find...
it is where they need to be

Second favourite death metal song ^_^

9/10

[Eothain]

my sis' boyfriend has a cannibal corpse cd...i might burn it, along with some pantera stuff as well, he has all their cd's, and i lost all of mine

[Elliott]

Cannibal aren't for the faint of heart. First 5 albums had Chris Barnes (now in Six Feet Under) on vocals, and writing lyrics, so they'll sound different. Also don't real his lyrics, 3 of his albums are banned in Germany for a reason ^_^ .

Some titles include:

She was asking for it
F**ked with a knife

and a line:

"I don't want to hurt you, I want to kill you"

Haha, awesome shiz

They now have George Fisher though, and the lyrics are written by the bassist I think. They are still violent, but not so much disgusting violence, if that makes sense.



Spasm - Meshuggah

[Yuki]

Postal Service
Sleeping In

Such a good song. I abosolutely love it n_n
10/10

[Elliott]

Apocalyptica - Bittersweet

Well you guys Forking rave about them so I have to try.
A little slow, and soft, but I don't mind.

[Neon]

lol, that's, like, their worst song ._.
I hate that guy from The Rasmus. Not only does the band suck, but his voice is... argh, death.

[Elliott]

I loved their Metallica covers (I have Nothing Else Matters, Unforgiven and Fade to Black). I've said before I'm a classical fan, but a very picky one. This, I like.

Arch Enemy - Silent Wars

The opposite side of the spectrum ^_^

[Yuki]

Queen
Bohemian Rhapsody

I finally got around to listening to this song. And I've been missing so much! ;.;! I love this song now!!! It has replaced "Another One Bites The Dust"

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell

Elvis Presely
In The Ghetto

Wow I'm suddenly into a 50's rock phase. Anywho, this song is slow and sad. But it's such a tearjrker.

My favourite song from Elvis Presley is Hound Dog. It rules ^_^

You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time.
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog

And you ain’t no friend of mine.

My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes

Not the best song I've heard from them. I think this is the worst one I have but well, it's still good. What I really love about this band is their use of a fuzzbox. So, you have a couple of guitars + fuzzbox = noise with hints of a melody behind everything. It's just wonderful <3

I think this song was used for "Lost In Translation" o.o.

[Izar]

Artist: Mute Math
Album: Reset EP
Song: Control
Comments: Love Gaurdian Yuki likes this band. They are pretty cool. 9/10, song is a little on the light side.

Take control of the atmosphere
Take me far away from here
There is no better loss than to lose myself in you
In a parachute to glide, I am captive in your sky
Surrender has somehow become so beautiful

Take control of the atmosphere
Take control of the atmosphere
You can take my world you can fill the air
Take control, take control

It's such a beautiful surrender
It's such a beautiful surrender
It's such a beautiful surrender
It's such a beautiful surrender

Move me up through the darkest clouds
Till I've lost in the sun every shadow of doubt
There is no better find than to find myself with you
In a fog you are all I see
I'm inviting you closer with each time I breathe
Surrender has somehow become so beautiful

Take control of the atmosphere
Take control of the atmosphere
There is no reason I should breathe unless you're in the air
Take control

Its such a beautiful surrender
Its such a beautiful surrender
And I'm calling out
would you take control
And I'm calling out

It's their worst album. The production quality is shiz, the lyrics are poorly written, the guitar work is pitiful. If you want a good metallica album, listen to Master of Puppets ^_^ .

Tristania - Beyond The Veil

I finally got ahold of one of their CDs <3 They could be classified as goth metal. They're just brilliant ^_^ The vocalist is also awesome at growling. In some parts, he just goes on and on and on. Probably one of the best... "growlers" I have ever heard. XD

Lyrics:

Not fear, nor tears can reach me now
the light seems so clear as the night fades away
Behold of thy flame, below of all shame
Come conquer me sweet dreams of paradise
Dusk drawn hither to my evening star
A glance in thy mirror
The trance of thy mirror
Venus... through the looking glass
Dance so frail and lost in the fields afar
Cast off thy mourning
Clasp life and glory
Venus... through the looking glass
The sense of angels in veils of dawn
Like she runs forever among thy halls
The pale horizons are closing down
The reasons for living are lost somehow
Cross my heart with a glance upon the star of riddance
Drift afar like teardrops on the Stygian River

I'm the nightfall and wizard that summon thee
You're the blizzard that drape my eyes
I'm thy sorrow and vein of obscurity
You're the dagger that cuts

Shivers on the bleak horizon
Profound words... you're my frailty

See the light cease in thy life
Profound words... hurting me

[Crimson Barrel Knight]

Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down

I honestly don't know what drove me to download this song; I absolutely dislike punk. Yet, I saw the music video for it, and it was ... strange, yet somehow interesting. A poor kid that wanders around with deer antlers finds the girl of his dreams, but her father gets in the way. He goes after the kid with a hunting bow and arrow, but gets run over by a truck coming down the road. The kid notices that the father's boots were knocked off, and finds out that he, too, is part deer; his feet are hooves. Then it ends in a happily-ever-after-style ending.

It's strange, really. But somehow, I just downloaded it for the heck of it.

[Neon]

I like the old Metallica stuff (MoP and RtL), some of their stuff from Load/Reload, and the S&M album ^_^. I don't really like 'the black album' much :S.

Katatonia - Viva Emptiness - Burn The Rememberance
Pretty awesome song. I don't know how to describe it :S. It has a good... atmosphere?

Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down

I honestly don't know what drove me to download this song; I absolutely dislike punk. Yet, I saw the music video for it, and it was ... strange, yet somehow interesting. A poor kid that wanders around with deer antlers finds the girl of his dreams, but her father gets in the way. He goes after the kid with a hunting bow and arrow, but gets run over by a truck coming down the road. The kid notices that the father's boots were knocked off, and finds out that he, too, is part deer; his feet are hooves. Then it ends in a happily-ever-after-style ending.

It's strange, really. But somehow, I just downloaded it for the heck of it.

Uhh, CBK...Fall Out Boy isn't punk. It's emo.
Emo: Fall Out Boy
Punk: Green Day

BIG DIFFERENCE :3

Mars Volta
The Widow

Such a sad song. But it's so...creepy. Kinda. Anyways, I wanna get their new cd. I heard it was really good...
9/10

[Luna]

^Even if the Mars Volta is good, I think that's one of their worst songs x_x. Could be a bad first-impression for anyone.

Sepultura - Chaos AD

Brazillian metal band. o.o...I never thought I'd find something like this. Although, I heard they once came here... last year or a couple of years ago maybe. One of the guys who came with us to the Dark Tranquility concert had been there.

(The song is stuck in my head now. D:)

[Leon]

Artist: Kidney Thieves
Song: Before I'm Dead
Album: Zer0space

Thoughts On The Song:
The vocals from the FEMALE lead singer make it seem like a tortured love story in which you try and get back to someone 'before you're dead'.

The song(along with the album) has a sort of industrial rock/Nine Inch Nails feel towards it, combined with non-screaming lyrics about love... There is no sign of screaming, unless you call the harmonic singing of the chorus a type of scream. This is an awesome song and it's not some emo-super gothic type music. Hell. Even the lead singer wheres clothes you could find ANYWHERE. Not high end goth clothing and crap like that.

Coldplay - Speed of Sound

It's a rather soothing song; not too heavy, and not too heart-felt, like those certain songs from epic and popular RPGs (preferrably those from Kingdom Hearts or Zone of the Enders). In fact, it's just a song that calms the nerves, as well does it relieve your early-morning pent-up teen angst (yes, I'm talking to you, silly emos). Definately an instant download. 8.5/10

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Opeth - Ghost Reveries (album)

One of the 4 new albums I bought today (along with 'Chimaira - Chimaira', 'Meshuggah - Nothing', and 'Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine'.) No matter what this band does, I love them. Extremely intelligent lyrics, very well written music, and a line up of 4 amazing musicians. I personally think anybody who doesn't like, or doesn't respect the amazing band that is Opeth, has something seriously wrong with them. Yes, they are just that good.

"Attack Of The Radioactive Hamsters From A Planet Near Mars" by Wierd Al Yankovic

This song is HILARIOUS!!! From the movie UHF. I mean come on... Radiactive Hamsters? :)

Lyrics:

They showed up on my doorstep just a couple weeks ago
They looked so sweet and harmless
Tell me, how was I to know
They got a little too close to the microwave and then much to my surprise
They grew to forty thousand times their original size
They started mutatin' right before my eyes
Oh my

Attack of the radioactive hamsters from a planet near Mars
A race from a distant place
They came in UFOs shaped just like cuban cigars
Man oh man, you oughta hear 'em squeal
Now the whole wide world is their exercise wheel
Attack of the radioactive hamsters from a planet near Mars

The president, he's is a panic
The pentagon, they're in shock
There's a team of research scientists
They got 'em workin' 'round the clock
Now the National Guard is out in my back yard
And the Marines'll be comin' around
I hope they get this lousy rodents out of my town
'Cause the property values are goin' way down now

Attack of the radioactive hamsters from a planet near Mars
They're back and they're lookin' for a snack
And they're not that fond of Burger Kings or salad bars
I hope they're not plannin' to stay
Who invited them here anayway
Attack of the radioactive hamsters from a planet near Mars

Well, well, look at that hamster, he's as big as a blimp
And there's one the size of central park
They're using telephone pole to pick their teeth
They're evil and nasty and they glow in the dark
Oh, don't waste any more of your bullets, boys
You know it just makes 'em mad when you shoot
They're gonna stomp us into jelly and conquer the world
But you gotta admit, they're really kinda cute, now

Attack of the radioactive hamsters from a planet near Mars
What a racquet they're makin', Jack
They keep me up at night playin' they're electric guitars
Listen to 'em squeal
They think the whole stinkin' world is their exercise wheel
Attack of the radioactive hamsters from a planet near Mars

Hey Jack, you better watch your back
Here come those hamsters from a planet near mars
Well, well, it's called the
Attack of the radioactive hamsters
From a planet

TOOL - Lateralus

I haven't listened to this band in so long D: I missed them <3 Even if A Perfect Circle and TOOL are basically the same, I prefer APC.

BUT.

TOOL has some of the best lyrics I've ever seen.

Lyrics:
Black then white are, all i see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
Lets me see.

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are, all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see
there is so much more and beckons me
to look thru to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment, urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

(I embrace myyy
desire to 2x)
feel the rhythm, to
feel connected,
enough to step aside and,
weep like a widow, to
feel inspired, to
fathom the power, to
witness the beauty, to
bathe in the fountain, to
swing on the spiral, to
swing on the spiral, to

swing on the spiral of
our divinity and
still be a humannnnnnnnn

With my feet upon the ground I move myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
(Spiral out. Keep going. 4x)

Zao "Praise the War Machine" from the album "The Funeral of God."

Artist: Zao
Album: The Funeral Of God
Song: Praise The War Machine
Comments: Awesome song, one of the greatest of Christian Metal bands. Although popularized only recently, they were one of my favorites when I was into slipknot. Now back, these dudes own. As Golden Legacy Said, "yes, but they are also deep and moving, strangely" Lol.

The death of the Omega pilots the war machine
We shall destroy the earth
Rebuild it
None shall inherit it
Blood turned into fire
Made to drink like wine
Pile up the countless corpses and on them we shall dine

We praise you, war machine
You've come to set us free
Run us through your jaws
Carry us off in your claws

Cut away body from soul
A slave freed from his master
Closing the spirit's eye to embrace this earthly tie

666 (The number of man brought upon by man)

The earth it shall burn bright tonight in our eyes
The earth it shall burn right into our eye on this very night
Praise the war machine
Burn tonight

*abuses this topic further*

Meshuggah - Rational Gaze

Squint your eyes to see clearly
Blur reality to make it real
Let focus go from your deceiving eyes to know what's been concealed
We've all been blinded
Subjects to visual misinformation
A systematic denial of the crystalline

To see the fine grain, to read the hidden words
The context of parallel truth
Devoid of fragmentation

Our light-induced image of truth
Filtered blank of its substance
As our eyes won't adhere to intuitive lines
Everything examined, Separated, one thing at a time
The harder we stare the more complete the
disintegration
Dissolution

Eyes re-opened, Reasoning focalized, Receptors activated

Perspectives distorted
The ladder beyond our grasp
The twin-headed serpent forever hidden
Where's the true knowledge -
Where engines of the sane and insanity merge
The clarity. The unity

Reality untouchable, transparent, invisible
to our fixed, restricted fields of vision
Existence taken for granted. -Absolute

Possessed, owned, controlled
By the common sense-infected rational gaze
Onward forever we walk among the ignorant
Never stray from the common lines

Bought the album "Nothing" on monday. Can get repetetive, but love the off timing in the drumming, and the odd guitar sounds throughout. Singer is bland, but does a very solid job on the vocals.

Chris Vrenna - Fungiferous Flora (OST from American McGee's Alice).

I didn't have to buy the game to know this soundtrack was awesome :B I think I've said it many times before but, Chris Vrenna was once a member of NIN (Nine Inch Nails) and he was also the drummer for Rasputina (two of my favourite bands). So, yay :O

This soundtrack is full of macabre, quirky, dark music style things. Everything involves American McGee's game about Alice in Wonderland. (American McGee is basically Tim Burton but in games.)

Can't sleep with all this frustration, intoxication
I no longer have regret
So what If I cause hysteria, It's not my dilemma
I'm only here to inflict pain

I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumour, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day
I will retaliate

A thorn in my spine for eight years
The Man who sheds no tears
I am here to expose you
All of the poison that you take
All people you violate
Your faith can't save you now

I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumour, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day
I will retaliate

I am your family
With the power
To end everything
Everything you love
Love

You should be
You should be paranoid

I guess I no longer share this vision
I guess I have a new agenda
While you sink down into your hole
I am proud watching you lose control

I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumour, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day
I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away (I am your family)
Like a tumour; rage grows inside me (I am your family)
Reminding me every day
I will retaliate

I am your family
With the power
To end everything
Everything you want
Everything you feel
Everything you need
Everything you love
You love
You love
You love

Heaven Shall Burn - Bleeding to Death

Deceived of all your dreams
Betrayed by all your leaders
This shall no place to be
This, a dead-end future

Take a walk through grey, concrete deserts
Apathetic faces, empty eyes - the only thing you will see
A whole country bleeding to death
One big illusion - bleeding to death

No young hands to built it up
Cities fall to ruin
Just old men left to mourn
Four decades of a life denied
Abused good will to exploit us
Brothers turned to victors
Fooled by ancient propaganda
A bottle - your illusion
Your home just like a colony

My favourite song by this band, and I want to get the album "Antigone" now. Very brutal sounding metal.

Stifting through your trash well I'm gonna make it last

well, scavenger's survivors find a way

Still sticky fingers find sticky situations
but in the wake of swept rugs we all need assistance.

So now I'm living off the spoils of leftover generations
equipped with wit and long legs if I need them
to hold my ground but not be found
I'm quicker than the wind but half as

Still I'm gonna make it last well

Sifting through your trash ,
Weell I’m gonna make it last well
Scavenger survivors find a way
They find a way, they find a way, a way

Are you done give me some, Cause I'm ****ing hungry
Don't need pride with an empty belly.
Got no shame cause I know we're all whores,
Trying to pull the hustle, just trying to pull the

Nice song, lets you know how the goverment warps our thought.

its like a pencil with erasers at both ends
i've won it all but we're dealing in purses
and these activities that you have engaged in
this is the politics of seeing you dance with him

we begin with concluding remarks
pick up the pieces and examine the parts
your words always cut when they cliche
but with my knife because i came for the buffet

this is the way it goes
with you a part of it
nervously saying words
that all so-tightly fit
a mark beneath the chin [ah ah]
i've caught you once again

it's in the way you sell
every word and phrase
and leaving me to know
how much the meaning weighs
say that we're needing this [ah ah]
using hands for emphasis

you'd like to think that you're the best part of me
but i confess there is nothing left of you here [nothing left of you here]
these paramounts and silly games
hide your face and say the name, say the name [say the name]

this is the way it goes
with you a part of it
nervously saying words
that all so-tightly fit
a mark beneath the chin [ah ah]
and i've caught you once again

it's in the way you sell
every word and phrase
and leaving me to know
how much the meaning weighs
say that we're needing this[ah ah]
your tears for emphasis

ah, there's that smile again [theres that smile again]
you're faking and i follow you right in
what a fool i've been
to fall for it each time


this is the way it goes
with you a part of it
nervously saying words
that all so-tightly fit
it's in the way you sell
every word and phrase
and leaving me to know
how much the meaning weighs
this is the way it goes
with you a part of it
nervously saying words
that all so-tightly fit
it's in the way you sell

Title: Mouth Like A Magazine
Artist: Showbread
CD: No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical
Label: Solid State
Year: 2004
Comment: Great song, Awesome tone to it. Reminds you of older rock, and adds a nice set of screams. The lyrics are sweet, and I'd listen to it as much as possible.

Turning over in interrupted slumber,
You ponder others, growing ever wakeful,
You've locked the vermin in the other bedroom,
To be so perfect causes you to feel so thankful,
Now find the fault because your boyfriend can't read,
Reflecting on to you is all the bitterness you need,
So unhappy, yet so preoccupied,
Never found beaten down with your forked tongue tied.

Your eulogy is like poetry,
But your mouth is like a magazine.

Queen dependency is cowering, please don't be confused,
You are vacant and submissive, receptive to abuse,
Virtue isn't tangible, and sense of self is dated,
Names constant on your cracked lips are now eviscerated,
Your spine is made of metal, Your veins are bound in electric tape,
And all along an impulse lights at random in your face,
Yough cought up an offering and forget which words are lies,
Then your skull echoes a singeing pop, as your brain is cauterized.

Within the walls I hear all of its legs,
There must be so many to carry it over our heads,
Seething and unsettled and oh such a let down,
And now these rusty spokes inside my head are making such a grating sound.

Well, am I making haste or could it be haste is making me,
What's time but a thing to kill or keep or buy or lose or live in,
I gotta go faster,
Keep up the pace,
Just to stay in the human race...

I could go supersonic, the problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When I need to sate, I just accelerate, into oblivion
Into oblivi-yah yah yah yah yah yah yahn

Well here I go again, everything is alien
How does it feel to be outstripped by the base of cultural change?
My deeds are senseless and rendered meaningless,
When measured in that vein...

I could go supersonic, the problems chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When I need to sate, I just accelerate into oblivion

I won't lie, it's exciting when I try to decide things...
I just want to live decently, meaningfully,
I'm in misery...

I could go supersonic, the problem's chronic...
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When I need to sate, I just accelerate into oblivion
Into oblivi-yah yah yah yah yah yah yahn.

Edit: *brings out a cross* Man, that site's grammar SUCKS.

Muse - Bliss

DDD: Any song that has this star-like theme is an automatic favourite. Sucks that I can't find many songs with it </3

[Eugine]

Somebody Told Me - The Killers

I use to like this song alot, but now it died down for me, nothing really special about it now for me.

8/10.

[Elliott]

Old Man's Child - God of Impiety

One of my favourite songs by them. Off the album 'Ill Natured Spiritual Invasion'.

Bring my pain to the level of death
show this place the passion of hate
use my flesh to feed your soul
O'master retrieve the control My fate
you have won turn me into something strong
Your imperious glance will burn the sky
demons shall dance in the flames of your fire
Feel the ghastly force of death
the God of impiety roams free
His spell embraces me
I am touched by the essence of evil
a war of mighty dimensions
bring forth the powers of inhumanity

Yeah a lot of mainstream songs like that die out for me too just because they overplay them on the radio, t.v., anything like that. That's what's awesome about second-line bands that are unknown to radio but have followers that love their music.

[Luna]

Muse - Dead Star

This song is kind of chunky but there's two or three specific parts in it which goes on with quite a nice melody :3

It's the part where the lyrics go 'You used to be everything to me'

[Elliott]

Opeth - Beneath the Mire

Love the eerie foreign feel to this song (can't describe how they do it).

Rating: 8/10

[Yuki]

The Holes Stars
Dig It

I just finished watching Holes again and I love this song. It was my favorite when the movie came out.

Lame rhymes but a nice beat (for me)

"A-R-M-P-I to the T what's that you smellin' dawg that's me. I don't take showers and I don't brush my teeth. All I do is dig holes, eat, and sleep"

;) ...yeah...

[Mycarayne]

Enter Sandman - Metallica

An old favourite of mine that just happens to be playing right now. Can't say much more than that.

[Eugine]

Be Prepared - The Lion King

Yep, got to go back to the old days ;)

This song is deffinetly one of the best Lion King song ever. 10/10

[Elliott]

Arch Enemy - Slaves of Yesterday

Another solid soong off 'Doomsday Machine'.

Rating: 8/10

[Somia]

As it Began
Full Metal Alchemist

comment: This is my most recent favourite, I love the tune, some part lyrics are a tad weird but that's about the only thing that makes me not giving it a perfect score
9/10

Merzbow - Crack Groove

I'd be highly impressed if ANYONE in this forum liked Merzbow. It's Noise music. So, that's what it would sound like to any of you. Like noise. It's a bunch of distortion, squeaks, creaks, everything. :D

BUT.

Pop is Noise for me so... :)

[Sea of Time]

Coldplay - Fix You

A low down song from an exceptional band. A bit repetitive though in the lyrics department.

8.5/10

[Gardna]

Helmet - Crashing Foreign Cars

After Killradio, another one from NFSU 2
Great song, it reminds me of Rage Against The Machine (dunno why) ;)

10/10

[Elliott]

Unearth - My Heart Bleeds No Longer

Opening track from 'The Stings of Conscience'. I love the intro to this song, and the sound of the guitar is very raw which gives the song, and the whole album, a very underground feel to it.

My song is also from NFSU:2 (great soundtrack)

LAX - Xzibit

Good song when uncut, really bad in the game.

Joe Hisaishi - Howl's Moving Castle Theme

I watched the movie while I was in NY and finished reading the book a couple of nights ago. o.o The music for the move is just splendid <3 It's full of swingy piano + violin tunes. I think they'd kind of work for a ballroom.

Joe Hisaishi is not my favourite composer for nothing ;)

[Sea of Time]

Eminem - Like Toy Soldiers

I really only like Eminem songs that take the chorus from another song (a la Sing for the Moment). This one is his best from that category, the chorus is great, and as a bonus you can listen to what Eminem is pissed about now. ;)

9/10

[Elliott]

The Mars Volta - Cut That City

Stupidly long intro, the the vocal work I feel is a little weak, but other than that this song is great.

Rating: 7/10

[Gardna]

New Order - Jetstream

Good song, very catchy. 9/10

[Elliott]

Muse - Butterflies and Hurricanes

I used to dislike this band because of the singer. But after listening to them more his voice has really grown on me now. So I got a bunch of songs, and am planning to buy 'Absolution' next time I'm at the CD shop. All in all, these guys are musical geniuses, great use of piano, good solid drum beats, and everything just flows nicely.

Rating: 9.5/10

Baracude -- Ass up

sort of trance/dance mix. great music, though the songtext is quite monotonic (if that is a word ;))... its like this:

Put your ass in the air,
put your ass up in the air,
put your ass in the air,
put your ass up in the air,
put your ass in the air,
move around like you don't care...

and then a few lines with those words mixed...

and taadaa, you have a new song! but the music is awesome!!

[Sea of Time]

Coldplay - Speed of Sound

Getting kind of old now, but still puts chills up my spine when I listen to it. Great song.

9/10

[Yuki]

there's a Avenged Sevenfold song I really like. Could somebody find out the name since all I know are the lyrics? x.x;

"Can you help me as I'm starting to burn, too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction"

btw

Black Eyed Peas
Bebot

Another filippino song by them ^^ really good. In tagalog n.n

[Luna]

@Agatio: Yay :D I hear the singer is really bad live though. It takes A LOT of warming up to get a voice like his so, I think only he gets it right a few times. o.o;

@Yuki: I made a search and no songs by Avenged have those lyrics x.X

Listening to:

Da Rude - Calm Before The Storm

This is what I call gym techno. Gym techno sucks most of the time but it helps me work.

[Elliott]

Muse - Sing for Absolution

<3 Muse.
Really, really, good music (not just this song but all the ones I got). One of my new favourite bands. I also got some Dir en Grey 'cause I've heard people rave about it, but I've yet to listen to any just yet.

Rating: 8/10 (this song, it's not their best in my opinion.)

[Sea of Time]

Da Rude - Sandstorm

I liked this song on DDR so much I downloaded it and put it on my MP3 player! Anyways, it's long but it's a good techno song.

8/10

[Luna]

Combichrist - Human Error

This ish called EBM... Electronic .. something music. It's like hardcore techno plus industrial. Some people classify it as rave but it's NOT rave. Rave usually has the stupid "untz untz untz" thing.

[Crimson Barrel Knight]

Bad Religion - You

Every life you live, there's just that one song that just captures your mind and puts an "I R T3H WIN" flag on it. A song that dominates your whole brain and vocal chords for a day, and keep coming back for more the next. A song so catchy, you can't stand but to throw yourself into LimeWire and download. Well, friends, this song is my plague. That one song that won't leave my brain for an eternity. And it brought me such joy to finally relieve my tender noggin and make my tired ears bleed to.

Great vocals, although it feels as if it's being drowned by the music a little bit. The lyrics are absolutely folktaleish, with a little bit of weird, and a whole lot of style. Sure, it's old; albeit around 5 years, but it's like I stated in the above paragraph.

9.5/10

[Elliott]

Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7

Fantastic song by one of my favourite metal bands.

Rating: 10/10

Also, I didn't like Dir en Grey. I found them to be a very arty farty band that didn't get a whole lot of songwriting done, and focussed more on experimenting, which I don't as a rule like.

Blink 182-I Miss You

just goes to show Punk bands can make good songs without heavy guitar and bass.

9/10

If you like Muse Agatio should should check out Hysteria and Plug in Baby, my favourite Muse songs.

[Elliott]

@laharl: Hysteria is one of my favourites.

Carpark North - Berlin

Muse fans may like this, it's in a similar vein (Sheep, give it a listen).

You might kill me for saying this but, Children of Bodom might be coming here in a few months. xD And, I didn't think you'd like Dir En Grey. Also, I'm currently looking for 'Berlin'.

Listening to: System of a Down - Lost in Hollywood

This album was a bit too short for my taste o.o It's over way too fast. It's not exceptional but it's still good stuff.

[Sea of Time]

Billy Talent - Try Honesty

From the guy that loves to scream...good song, should have been a #1, but it died off early. To me, a lot better than River Below.

9/10

[Crimson Barrel Knight]

My Chemical Romance - Helena

Bwar, I was bored, alright? 'Sides, this song's been a staple in my mind, but I was gently nudging it away until I decided to finally download it. That doesn't mean I'm emo now, nor do I like MCR. Some stereotypical-wary people should just grow up ...

I'm just gonna leave it at that. Yep. Not even with a rating.

[Luna]

Undertow - Yuki Kajiura

This song is from the Le Portrait de Petite Cossette OST. Kajiura is one of my favourite composers and this is by far her greatest work :3. It's full of violins and mesmerizing sounds.

[Crimson Barrel Knight]

Millencolin - No Cigar

A rock song I remember very well back in the days when I played Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 'till it wasn't very playable anymore. It's got a good running tune to it, and it doesn't let down until the song ends. Yet, even so, it's still got a somewhat steady beat. It's catchy, too ...

8.5/10

[Lightning Star]

Rawkfist
Thousand foot Krutch
The Art of Breaking

awesome randomish rock song. It seems like a good song for getting hyped up and energized. Its really catchy and I had the first part of the song stuck in my head all day, but the lyrics are a bit repetitive.

9/10

[Elliott]

Carpark North - Human

Has quickly become my favourite song of the album (who's name has passed out of my mind). Only 2 and a half minutes, but it's all good ;) .

Rating: 10/10

[Sea of Time]

Kanye West - Jesus Walks

"George Bush hates black people!" That made me want to listen to this song I've been neglecting for a looong time. It's pretty good actually and very powerful.

7.5/10
