American Analog Set -- Hard To Find: Singles and Unreleased

Lacuna Coil - Shallow Life

Is it as good as Unleashed Memories, or Comalies? No. Does it deserve the venom being spewed upon it by Lacuna Coil "fans"? Not at all. Sure, it's an obvious effort towards mainstream success, but that's not always a bad thing.

I gave it a listen and it sounds quite a bit like Karmac Code, the only other disc I have of theirs, but softer at times and more mainstream. Overall sound and feel is awfully similar to me though. Now listening to Unleashed Memories to get some perspective:

Older stuff was definitely more interesting to me... More about mood and atmosphere. Comalies was kind of transitional, from their earlier stuff. Karmacode was OK, I guess. I think I like Shallow Life better.

Marta Gomez - Soles es Virvir

Porcupine Tree -- Stupid Dream

When I listen to their stuff on random, it really doesn't matter. I like it all. Although I have to admit that when I get to a favourite track (Falling/Falling Again/Senzafine/&c.), I do get particularly excited.

New Order -- Technique

Synth madness!

Pet Shop Boys -- Yes

Depeche Mode -- Sounds of the Universe

Listening to the above as well

Black Sabbath - The Mob Rules

Every metal producer should be forced to listen to this, as proof that metal can sound good. There is absolutely no reason for so much of it to sound like shit.

Sure there is. The 'lowest common denominator'.

I hate the integer race.

Other than being metal in the first place? (runs away)

From band name, to logo , to cover art, to album title, that is truly abominable.

If you can't be good, try to be shocking.

I've seen and heard far, far worse.

Whore and Fornicator come to mind.

And the truly awful Intense Hammer Rage.

Although they get brownie points for awesome song titles and southpark excerpts.

Songs like "My Fist, Her Face, Same Time, Same Place"

Can you believe I actually have this CD? AC is the best band EVAAAR!

This is also not bad

Sore Throat - Disgrace to the Corpse of Sid

Yeah, anything truly death metal (Cannibal Corpse, etc.), is usually revolting beyond shock. Your mind just kind of doesn't read it/look at the cover/listen to the lyrics.

Really? I find bands like Cannibal Corpse, and other death metal and grind core bands funny Black Metal is even more hilarious, but mostly boring to listen to.

Alright, change my post from "Your mind..." to "My mind..."

I recognize the atrociousness of it, but there is a certain humor to it all, in my eyes. Its the same type that makes certain people laugh while watching Evil Dead.

Further, it ceases to be funny when there is no realization of how wrong it actually is. Once desensitization occurs, it becomes boring.
