this week's is certainly one full of gimmicky things and limited interplay - interested to hear everyone's thoughts on this rather controversial theme for our weekly jazz thread
>Track 1
Well this sounds pretty early for multi-tracked jazz. Also there’s a weird sort of vibrato under the whole thing. I’m guessing all the woodwinds must be one player multitracked. I don’t think I know of anybody who was doing this sort of thing as early as this sounds. There’s definitely sort of an unnatural feel to it all. I can’t say that I really liked this one very much.
>Track 2
So it’s How High the Moon turned into a sort of country shuffle. Were the vocals from Ella Fitzgerald’s version? Maybe it’s not Ella. I think that’s just the vocal version of this I’m used to hearing. This mostly just sounds very commercial to me. Or like it would have been very commercial in the 60’s. Nice vocal harmonies I suppose.
>Track 3
So I guess those horns must have been multi-tracked at the beginning. I like this piano playing I think. This must be Rahsaan though. It sounded like there was a slide whistle in there. I like this one I think. There’s an element of tradition and bluesiness to it but the piano is also doing some fairly modern things. Mostly, it just sounds like they’re playing with conviction.
>Track 4
This is Bill Evans’ version of Bemsha Swing from Conversations with Myself. It’s always interesting to hear Bill play Monk’s tunes because their styles are so different from each other but obviously Bill had a lot of respect for Monk. The other thing that’s interesting about this one is the way it’s done almost as a round. Overall though, it gets to be a bit much I think. There’s so much going on that it’s difficult to follow. This is one of those albums that is very interesting to listen to, but not always enjoyable.

>Track 5
Reminds me a bit of David Axelrod or that sort of 70’s thing. Very good groove. This vocoder-type effect is interesting. I’m not sure how much I like it here but I was enjoying the track quite a bit up until then. Guitar/whistle solo is ok but really nothing interesting beyond the novelty of “whistling along with a solo!” Trombone solo was also not great. The rhythm section was definitely my favorite part about this track. They sounded great and I especially liked the small flourishes from the electric piano. The arrangement of the horns was good too. The solos were a disappointment.
>Track 6
Must be Jaco. As far as looping goes this isn’t too bad. His feel is great but it’s still really just playing to a backing track. I don’t really get all the “noise” stuff in the middle though. The sound quality isn’t great so maybe it worked better when you were there to hear it.
>Track 7
For some reason I think this really works well with guitar. For some reason the guitar tone just works really well to build up this sort of moving texture behind everything else. Metheny does some stuff like this, but based on the sound of the guitar I’d say it might be Frisell. I know Marc Ribot has done a lot of overdubbed stuff too… could be him. I like it but I think it would definitely be tiring to listen to a whole album of this sort of thing.

what did she mean by this????????
Why is nu-metal, metalcore, djent, etc not considered metal?
There has got to be a legitimate reason behind it other than metalfags not wanting to associate with the fags who like these genres but everytime I ask, they spout nonsense like
>not the right riffs
>no guitar solos
>shitty voice
>>68297217
>There has got to be a legitimate reason behind it other than metalfags not wanting to associate with the fags who like these genres
wrong
Metal, like any other genre, is a family. Families are tied by blood; they inherit traits genetically while still presenting new elements.
There is, quite simply, no bloodline connection between metal and those styles you are naming, except perhaps djent, but in that particular case it's so diluted it's more like a distant political cousin.
>>68297382
This kind of psudo-intelligent, pretentious dribble is exactly what is expected from a metalfag trying to explain why these genres aren't real meal.

you first OP
“The intention was to make something that was classic, something timeless,” explained guitarist Ray Toro. “Something that 20 or 30 years from now, parents could play for their kids and say, “This is what I was listening to when I was your age. Check it out, it’s still fucking cool.’ We wanted to make a record you could pass down. There’s a lot of music out now that doesn’t feel like that.” - Gerard Way
did he succeed?
>>68296898
yes, my dog is now emo
>>68296898
>“Something that 20 or 30 years from now, parents could play for their kids and say, “This is what I was listening to when I was your age. Check it out, it’s still fucking cool.’
regardless of if it's really a "classic" (no) this will absolutely happen, so I guess yeah he did succeed
