Re: favorite album for blowing off steam...

Suicidal Tendencies' Lights, Camera, Revolution, two tracks in particular: You can't bring me down and Send Me Some Money.

Nice call on the Pantera record. Classic.

Tool - Opiate or Undertow.

Re: favorite album for blowing off steam...

I first got into Radiohead with the Bends, and was blown away by OK Computer -

Kid A and Amenisac never did anything for me besides a couple tracks - I haven't heard Hail to the Thief yet, but I have a live concert from the past 5 yrs. on DVR that I have to watch -

If you're a musician, it's almost more fun to watch Radiohead play live then listen to the albums - the band is so flexible and guitar players will stop and pick up mallets for drums and let Yorke play guitar - anything to get that sound they want - any instrument.

And every single songwriter in the world wishes he wrote "Fake Plastic Trees"

Everclear, on the other hand, was always a terrible live act - always rusty and felt off key - their albums though (except for the last one) have always kicked ass.

Actually, the bass player/drummer quit and left Art alone with the Everclear name - he had a new group of musicians behind him but last I checked, the offical website was down.

But an interesting comment - I once read where Art was glad they signed to Capitol precisely because of the amount of push they put into Radiohead's 2nd album promotionalwise - I think they promoted about 4 singles before striking gold with "Fake Plastic Trees" - no matter how good you are, if the label isn't promoting the album, it'll always have medicore sales at best - About the only exception I've heard of in recent memory was Nirvana's Nevermind, which sold so many so fast unexpectedly that the promotional machine wasn't able to ramp up to speed till about 2 mil. copies -

No matter how you wanna spin it, the 90's were a great [censored] time for music, not this prepackaged prepubscent [censored] on MTV now - I just saw the new Nine Inch Nails video and all I could think about was "man, this guy USED to be Controversal?" Now he can't get arrested on MTV

I got a new Baroness EP called Second (their second EP, get it?) which is what I use in combination with a punching bag to blow off steam

Right now I'm going old school with Rust In Peace.
