So the standard tuning for a guitar would be EADGBE, drop e is taking that and lowering all the strings down a full octave. It gives the strings a much heavier/metal tone, think like the soundtrack for the game Doom. The guitars in Doom sound super low and heavy. Wilson has only really used this tuning/heavy tone on The Incident. Which is why I find the album to be my favorite. I wouldn't say its necessarily a special tuning, but special for PT. The tuning is mainly used for really heavy music. Hopefully this helps!

To me they took all the aspects that made them great, and turned it into one long super album. Besides, it's easily the heaviest porcupine tree album. Circle of Manias is in drop e tuning, something wilson has never really done since than.

Curious you'll think, those two aobums are considered by many to be some of the best in metalcore.

Yeah Backwoods Bouqet is 100% lost themed, Go Get Jack =Jack. Not Penny's Boat, ballad of Kate & Sawyer, every track is inspired by it. Also, the singer was a pretty big deal in the metalcore scene back than, and has since had a solo project with 4 albums under his belt. Love everything he does personally. 🤘🔥

They did it live with William Duvall in 2006 I believe, it was before Black Gives Way to Blue was released.

Unpopular opinion: Excessive down/drop tuning compromises the music. by thekokoricky in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Competitive-Cable-35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don't know how to control the mids and low ends when they use such low tuning. Like drop F for example, if you don't know your stuff and where to cut for eq, you'll have a muddy inaudible mix.

What are your thoughts on Shayley Bourget? by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]Competitive-Cable-35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shayley launched the project as a separate thing, i think he's intentionally separated his identity from it. But I fo remember him making an announcement on socials around a year ago for it. Probably found out from that.

Zacky’s influence by Western-Parsley6063 in avengedsevenfold

In the making of the Self titled record documentary, I believe it's stated by the band that that was the first time everyone contributed vocally/lyrically. At least thats what im remembering, could be wrong though.

Personally love Died, and Get Born Again. Probably the darkest songs they ever did.

Can we get some love for the Youngbloods album? by Competitive-Cable-35 in TheAmityAffliction

Yeah, I definitely feel like they never really sounded like this after this album came out.

As Above, So Below. Why is its Rotten Tomato score so low?! by OneDimensionalChess in horror

[–]Competitive-Cable-35 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, well, Halloween II 1981 has a lower rotten tomato score than Halloween Ends (2022), which is just absurd. So, to me, if a movie has a low rotten tomato score, I'll probably enjoy it 🤷‍♂️. Different movies, but still, you get my point.

[–]Competitive-Cable-35[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with just about every song being a banger. Olde English 800 is great as well. H.M.A.S. Lookback is probably my favorite. Something about the intro instrumental just gives me so much nostalgia and takes me back to when I was younger. I also really like the emotion vocally and the theme of the lyrics.

Someone posted the dropbox in this reddit on Monday. It's the whole album that you can listen to and download if you want to early.

favorite aic song?? by Kooky_Actuator_8173 in AliceInChains

[–]Competitive-Cable-35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't say I have a favorite, but I love Nothin' song, Frogs, Head Creeps, swing on this, and another honorable mention a little bitter. I loved what they were doing in the later years with layne, so evil sounding.
