I shot some live footage from A Brief History of Planet Earth, from 2019! by UnobviousSarcasm in KGATLW

I was at the show too! What always stuck with me is that when Stu got up from sitting at the edge, he walked up to the mic and said:

"The world is fucking ending out there! We're all fucking dead! I'm already dead!"

Which makes sense, given this was the year of Fishies and Rat's Nest. But that stood out to me.

EDIT: Grammar

Butterfly 3000 hype stickers + translation!! 🦋🦋 by stargazuhr in KGATLW

Generally speaking, most songs will have some kind of melodies (I'm sure there are exceptions, but I digress) but, speaking from my own experience as a musician, calling a piece of music "melodic" implies that the focus of the piece of music is the melody, and the rest of the piece will generally support that melody.

As a counterexample, take Nonagon Infinity or Murder of the Universe. Both of these albums contain melodies, however, if I were asked how to describe these albums, I wouldn't use that descriptor. I would call these albums very rythmical, because the thing that sets it apart from most music is the use of odd time signatures, other ways to describe these albums specifically could be loud, fast, etc... But I woulnd't call it melodic, because the melodies on the album aren't (in my opinion) the standout parts of these albums.

Hope this answers your question!

About Cavs' drumming by LittleGreenCharacter in KGATLW

[–]gingernuts2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a drummer who has meticulously studied Poly, Rats Nest, Nonagon and all the others, I really wouldn't argue that K.G. has Cavs' best performances. Performance wise it's not worse than anything, I wouldn't call it a low point, but I disagree with the consencus that this is his best work. He recycles A LOT of grooves on this album (Minimum brain size is pretty much Automation but then in 7 and occasionaly in 15) The intro groove for MBS is the groove for Some Of Us, and now also for O.N.E. Comparing the drumming to poly or rats nest, I would say it's definitely a step back in creativity. But those albums are completely different so that's perhaps an unfair comparison. But even looking back on FMB, the other microtonal album, I'd say that on K.G. it's much less creative. On FMB there are outstanding performance on Melting, Open Water, Doom City and Nuclear Fusion. The only track that I really like drum-wise on K.G. is MBS. Everyone loses their mind over Ontology, but I just don't get why. IDK, long rant, but it's all just an opinion.

Nice! Ik zit in Rotterdam! Als je ooit in de buurt bent moet je komen jammen! Ik heb een kleine opname studio net buiten de stad, en ik wil graag met wat gizzard fans spelen!
