Non Metal Now Listening

[Mooncat]

Been enjoying the Viagra Boys of late. Bit of Amyl and the Sniffers too.

Viagra Boys are unreal, their last one in particular same for Amyl and The Sniffers.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Another vote for the Viagra Boys here, quality stuff. Might have overheard a song here or there, but never really checked out Amyl and the Sniffers. Any recs?

Probably Comfort to Me though you can't go wrong with either of the first two. That said, they did just release their new album literally on Friday there. Haven't got a chance to check it out yet.

Heard the previews of the new ones and didn't do much. I think one was good and I wasn't into the other at all. It took seeing them to live to click. They were supported by C.O.F.F.I.N who were unreal. First tune is good but a bit tame on this but it opens up after the gets more feral.

Here's one for the controversial prog rock opinions thread - I prefer Caravan to Pink Floyd.

I've never heard a note of Camel. I must give them a listen. What's their best album?

Haven't heard all of their stuff but Mirage is class.

Must check out Caravan too.

Personal favourites are Moonmadness (probably their most complex) and Mirage, but the first four albums are all classics (those are numbers four and two, respectively).

The only other album of their's I have is the fifth one, namely Rain Dances. It's a bit more polished and commercial sounding, but still a worthwhile listen. They added Mel Collins (of King Crimson) on sax, and Richard Sinclair (funnily enough of Caravan, and was involved with those two you were listening to) on bass and occasional vocals for it.

And if you're into Mikael Akerfeldt's style of melodic lead playing, he borrowed very heavily from Andy Latimer of Camel.

Thanks. I threw on Mirage yesterday. It's great stuff, have the album in my Amazon basket. I'll give the others you mentioned a spin as well. Rain Dances sounds interesting, I'm a big King Crimson fan as well.

I had to Google Mikael Akerfeld.  I'm not a fan of Opeth at all. A mate of mine, who was obsessed with them, burned their first 5 albums for me years ago but they never clicked with me. He also burned a rake of Katatonia albums for me, but I just couldn't get into them.

[StoutAndAle]

Manic Street Preacher - "Lifeblood"
Fugazi - "Red Medicine"
90 Day Men - "(It (Is) It) Critical Band" - I don't know how these lads passed me by back in the day. Excellent stuff.
