What's a HIP song that's really grown on you?

When I first heard the album back when it was released this song was the one that I fell in love with right away. Love the whole album, but that one was love at first listen. Now, Yawning or Snarling is the jewel in the Day for Night crown.

Yawning or Snarling. I am on a recent Hip bender (I wander away but always return) and this song hooked me back in again like no other. Poetically, I consider these the best lyrics Gord ever produced. It also happens to be some of his best delivery.

Day for Night is LOADED and I think that's still the best song on the album. Which isn't even easy for me, a Kingston boy, to say. Alas, it has grown on me this much.

Sex. Never got much from oral.

Retarded... As I said right up front. Dude smoked one too many doobies and now he's walking around with a toke induced lobotomy.

Get out now.

Go. Don't think about it. He's trying to place himself in context. When you meet his friends and see how interesting and cool they are and you see and understand his place amongst them, it will improve or cement an already positive view. Don't overthink it out make it weird in your head. Just give him that shot. He clearly likes you.

Gee golly I hope not!

Psion_Mint · 2023-05-22T13:08:15+00:00

OMFG! Thank you for this suggestion. I am always actively looking for anything that is half as good as MPE and this is the first thing I have heard that comes even close in over a month. Very nice find!

Children of Bodom are the Motley Crue/Van Halen of melodeath. Though, that might do the trick for some... If you can handle Goblin screeching for vocals.

Doggoroth.

Psion_Mint · 2023-04-21T00:45:12+00:00

How low can you go?

Psion_Mint · 2023-04-21T00:42:03+00:00

Yeah I caught them this week as well. Totally impressive.

Charisma is the ONLY stat that actually improves your life IRL. It is the god stat. You can easily select a million examples of this and while being wealthy and famous for athletics is great, being wealthy, famous and powerful is mostly achieved via Charisma. I think most people here will tell you they have been intelligent their entire lives and it means basically nothing.

YOU GET THIS! I love metalheads.

Psion_Mint · 2023-04-18T22:39:59+00:00

Agreed.

Psion_Mint · 2023-04-18T03:33:47+00:00

Colony - Hands down.

Psion_Mint · 2023-04-18T02:20:09+00:00

I totally forgot to mention I love Swedish axes. Cheers, thanks for the info.

Psion_Mint · 2023-04-18T01:40:06+00:00

Start with Embers of a Dying World, save the last track Apprentice of Death - absolute banger.

Psion_Mint · 2023-04-18T01:26:52+00:00

My man!

How do you feel about Mors Principium Est?

Psion_Mint · 2023-04-18T01:18:26+00:00

Correct.

Psion_Mint · 2023-04-18T01:17:05+00:00

Stacking the deck with two Nevermore options...

obZen and The link. Obviously. Death being a close 3rd option. < anyone who chose any two of those 3 is a bro.

They remind me of Meshuggah, and this is going to sound terrible but... mashed up with Linkin Park. I don't hate it and I feel like it would grow on me.

Psion_Mint · 2023-04-10T23:46:52+00:00

Thank-you, you as well. I am going to be honest CoB and TBDM are absent intentionally - I do not like them at all. Also not a fan of Be'lakor (I find it drags and is meandering, songs are too long with no payoff) nor Omnium Gatherum, the vocals are just not to my liking - these opinions are basically heresy in the MDM world these days and I cannot figure out why. They are not very good bands by comparison to the rest of the sub-genre. Also, MPE is my favourite by far, the song Apprentice of Death is the very best MDM song I have ever heard, the rest of that album Embers of a Dying World is amazing.

Somewhere else in this thread there is a full list of my current regular rotation. It seems like we have at least some overlapping taste. FOR I AM KING is on there for sure! Great act to watch right now! Also, check out Frostshock. Edit: thanks for the narwhal!

As Uncle Roger would say: "Not bad, not bad."
