Dusty Chalk Posted June 9, 2019 Report Posted June 9, 2019 Unfortunate name in English, fucking excellent album. https://anuseye30.bandcamp.com/album/3-33-333
Torpedo Posted June 9, 2019 Report Posted June 9, 2019 Yeasayer - Erotic Reruns Some inoffensive pop to start a sunny Sunday. Someone said it was good.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 Outstanding, instrumental hard rock https://tuber.bandcamp.com/album/desert-overcrowded
TMoney Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 The best rock debut album ever? Is it blasphemy to say I prefer the US track listing to the UK original?
Dusty Chalk Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 I love these dirty, sputtering guitar tones. Bluesy hard rock. No, it's a little bit harder than hard rock, but it's not metal. Harderrock? 1
mikeymad Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Lee Oskar／Lee Oskar (1976) Just in case you don't know (and should!) 1 1

jose Posted June 13, 2019 Report Posted June 13, 2019 Well, Dream Theater seems to me more focused on their instrumental skills than on the music itself. I feel the same when I listen to Steve Vai, Joe Satriani... I hope no one takes this badly but IMO they are great "instrumentalists" (I'm not sure if this word exists in English) but they seem very "poor" musicians. 2

It is a trap for sure, but simplifying it this way can be a slippery slope also. For example, saying Paganini or Art Tatem are bad musicians because they go for technical difficulty and speed would seem odd. But they are exactly the same. The list would clearly go on. Buckethead offers both, super crazy riffing and whole albums with soulful rhythms and melodies without a single speed riff. Anyway, I think I agree with your general point, but I do think all of the above are great musicians. I think Yngwei Malmsteen sucks and would be a shining example of your point, however.
