Re: Give me a song, I'll describe its visuals

@rayword: You got me interested with Brainiac and those two other records I've had on my list anyway. Ween still has this elusive status to me and Jesus Lizard is pretty genre defining.

@ymia: No you got me wrong, I mean the first album. Which I believe is the self-produced one with Mansoor from Periphery? It lacks nuance and even then it's dividing. Distortion and cymbals in "Thoroughly at Home" for example give enough texture to support its sharp counterparts and legatos. But then most of it sounds awfully tubular ("Tessitura" is exactly that). It's like their rigs cut out the resonance and the instrumentation becomes stale and rigid.
In contrary, there's an awesome sweep around the first minute mark of "Behaving Badly" where that sort of sound is put to good use. But then the background chords also come out super dry and it doesn't help it stand out. That section basically represents my beef with the album.

Will do more of this tonight. Really looking forward to the recs I see.

Chessy motivational 90's theatrical ice skating between an histrionic male and female lead where they fake-smile continually and often turn faces to each other inches apart while rolling shoulders. An abundance of background dancers (who also acts as the choir) runs into place determinated and make arching motions with their arms during the chorus. A nondescript live band dubs the song on an elevated platform. The man, short of breath and facing public, genuinely cries at the culmination of the act.

Couldn't really think of what to post here so I'll just give the thing I'm listening to currently.

Okay I see what you mean. I just personally enjoy the sound. Honestly their most recent album blows the previous two out of the water, I have have personal preference to Tempting Time, Modern Meat, CAFO, and Song of Solomon.

I'm not very good when it comes to speaking technicalities with instrumentation and production, but I'm pretty sure I understand what you mean. I think their most recent album "The Joy of Motion" would be much better for you. Off of that album personal favorites are Ka$cade, Tooth And Claw, Mind-Spun, and Nephele.

Excited for the descriptions though. And here's the youtube link plus 1 more because I can:

Modern Meat

Scale the Summit - Evergreen (Starts at 0:15-1:46)

Makes me happy that people here know who Animals as Leaders and Periphery are.

I saw these guys live a long long time ago, I was like 17. Dunno if they're still going on but I remember them closing with this. It was a great show, one of my most fond memories... wait, why am I getting all emotional n shit...

Re: Give me a song, I'll describe its visuals

Not forgetting this but I'm going through something I need to take care. Nothing hefty but I'll be back in a bit. So in the meantime here's a varied bunch of songs if anybody wants to get creative:

4mat - Daisies
Against Me! - Sink, Florida, Sink
Alchimia - A Glimpse of the Unknown
Steve Roden - Stars of Ice (any part goes)
Trap Them - Fucking Viva

Also I've never been much into her but the new Chelsea Wolfe is incredible.

Re: Give me a song, I'll describe its visuals

Yeah yeah, this has been on my mind today. I'll take refuge in a cafe somewhere and work on this throughout the night. I think I'll do a round of one song per person.

Saw Animals As Leaders live at Prog Nation At Sea last year. Didn't think they were as good live as on their albums. Periphery were also there but I'm not a fan so I didn't go see them.
