The Moon Is A Dead World by Gospel is a ****ing masterpiece.

Still didn't have this album for whatever reason. I've seen some good things written about it, so I decided to grab it a little while ago and will probably give it a listen sometime this afternoon.

RO: I'd rather listen to any era of Muse than any era of Radiohead.

Radiohead are pretty hit or miss for me as I only like a few of their songs. Muse on the other hand I can't say I like any of their songs based on the few songs by them I've listened to.

2000-Present: Electronic Experimentation/Small amounts of Depressing Alternative Era

Prefer Ulver's Electronic Experimentation era over Radiohead's. Then again, I prefer Ulver's Black Metal era over Radiohead's Depressing Alternative and Grunge-esque eras.

But that's Ulver...

I find you have to be into Ulver's black metal to get into their other stuff. It's all very metal inspired.

Someone aptly described at as "In the Court of the Crimson Scream". I'd put it up there with The Underdark, Inidivduum & Massen, Insomniac Doze, Believes in Patterns, and Suffocate for **** Sake's album as an absolute classic of the genre.

I loved it, the album completely blew me away and it's one of my favorites of the genre for sure. I think "In the Court of the Crimson Scream" is pretty accurate, I thoroughly enjoyed the progression and spastic nature it had to offer. A truly unique listening experience to say the least.

True, and I'd rather listen to Ulver over Radiohead or Muse. That's my opinion over the Radiohead/Muse discussion.

Maybe in terms of songs structure yes it is very metal inspired but the only electronic album that had overt metal instrumentation mixed in was the "William Blake's Marriage of Heaven and Hell" album.

The reason the only people that seemingly get into Ulver's electronic stuff are already fans of Ulver's Black Metal is because those fans already know of Ulver and as a result would check out those other albums. It is unfortunate that people that like electronic music avoid Ulver's electronic stuff because it's made by the same band that "Recorded a Black Metal Album in the Forest" because those people missing out on brilliant music.

Can't really argue with that, and that's coming from somebody who actually enjoys Radiohead's turn toward Krautrock.

I do not know why, but for whatever reason, when I'm casually listening to music (meaning listening to it on the bus, on a walk/run, have it playing while reading or studying, or something similar... certainly not when sitting and solely listening to music), I often have the overwhelming desire to listen to a song, and then skip the last 10 seconds or so. I have no idea why I do this, or when the habit was ingrained in me. But, say, when running, I always seem to want to press the "next" button when a song reaches about the 10 second mark. Maybe it's simply the fact that the song is slowing down, or fading out.
