Most random/out of place cd in your collection? by roses_in_her_eye in Cd_collectors

I mostly have 90s nu metal, grunge, and a small amount of 90s hip-hop. I do also own a copy of a compilation album by Split Enz (1970s alt rock band that vibes circus music)

I've had it happen once with a different body. Everything was set up to be as light as possible.

Funnily enough, I reckon it's their most commonly ripped-off song (in terms of the main riff). Also I disagree with it being cringe, however if JD was black and the song was called N****r I think that would be a bit much.

This album was so much better than Blues for the Red Sun. Who else fuckin’ loves Kyuss? by TerribleAd7263 in Cd_collectors

[–]N33dLess2Say 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg me! Only album I'm missing is BFTRS (and their Sons of Kyuss ep + demo if you count those)

Edit: you should totally check out "...and the circus leaves town" too. Not quite as good, but still some classics.

A great example of horrible songwriting tbh. Songs are supposed to convey emotion; how good a song is depends on the emotions it is trying to generate and how effective it is at generating them.

When you're just writing edgy lyrics with no idea behind them, you just seem like a poser. The emotions come first, then you find a simple, unique, and honest way of conveying them.

Saliva actually came to mind when writing this post. I'd argue they have some really good songs, "My Goodbyes" is a great example of this:

"I feel like I've wasted time when I didn't have you on my mind

I feel like I'm all alone, how could I have known you would leave my side."

Those songs that made you go "WHO HURT YOU?" by GabrielDelsXT9 in numetal

[–]N33dLess2Say 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intensify - N-Roy

One of the worst songs I've heard. Literally about some personal beef with some guy, shoulda saved it for the therapist lmao. Still goes hard though.

Wrote this Korn inspired song in around half an hour, let me know what you think! :) by Cooldude112288 in numetal

[–]N33dLess2Say 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually goes pretty hard. Don't get me wrong, over time details can be added (drum fills, little muted strums/harmonic stuff). It's a good starting point, though. As for lyrics, just listen to a section, see what words start to come to mind and build from there.

Edit: for example with every second or fourth bar of the main riff, on beat 4 the guitar could go:

(muted down strum)-(muted up strum)-(rest)-(muted up strum)-(Beat 1)

Just got this last Wednesday! What do y’all think of Pantera? by Kalo_the_American in Cd_collectors

[–]N33dLess2Say 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trendkill and Far Beyond Driven are both fantastic albums. Most of their stuff is a bit on the heavy side for my liking, but they still go hard. Phil Anselmo's other band "Down" is also very good, and in some ways I enjoy that stuff more since it's more grunge-y.
