I'm a bit ambivalent about Steven Wilson. On one hand, I do think he has written
some great songs throughout the years. On the other hand, he way too often plays a
type of prog-rock that doesn't appeal to me: Technically impressive, but not very
emotionally resonant.
I love him as a producer, though. The albums he produced for Opeth + the whole remix/
remaster job he did for King Crimson was great.
Great news. This is the stuff they recorded with Deathprod in Oslo August last year.
Excited to hear the results!
EDIT: Reine not mentioned in the hashtags in the Instagram post makes me think he is not featured on this album.
@Blashyrkh: Thanks a lot
Hi
There is a private MP torrent site called Motortrades. Most of the stuff that's on Dime, can be
found there too: http://motortrades.org/index.php
Not sure if you need an invite to join.
Really liked the versions of Blueberry Daydream and Starmelt/Lovelight by Blåbærtoppen Spelemannslag and Tusmørke.
I already had a Discord account, so joining the server was easy-peasy and it works.
However, I'm not sure if Discord really fits the kind of discussions we have here.
Instant chit-chat should work well, but when it comes to like setlists, new albums etc,
I think maybe Discord comes up a bit short.
However, I'm willing to give it a try. Should make some separate channels for various subjects.
My ticket cost approx. €140 – 150 (in stark contrast, MP Sentrum Scene cost approx. €35)
But I fully understand that artists need to make up for the 2 years of covid where their income was severely lowered. Besides, it was my first (and possibly last) possibility to see them live.
I also attended a Tool concert for the first time ever this week (Monday in Oslo)
I thought it was a really good gig. But I have to admit that Tool will never be my favorite band.
I mean they are all fantastic musicians, no doubt about it. But their songwriting can be pretty inconsistent at times. Too many generic riffs, a bit too much pointless noodling. It's a shame because when they hit, they hit with millimeter precision.
My favorite album is Ænima. Despite the numerous interludes and a couple of really lame songs, it has the best balance between short compact angry rockers and long psychedelic trips (mostly good)
2hrs 45mins
I think the setlist was:
Hell 1-3
Cosmoctopus
The Crucible
Cloudwalker
Like Chrome
LLM
Lacuna/Sunrise
United Debased
Starhammer
Plan #1
The Wheel
Fools Gold

@Be: If you consider 2018 to be a hundred years ago :lol:
Btw, the recording is great. They sound a little rusty in places, but
this will obviously improve throughout the tour.
