I listen to all their stuff up until and including the black album. After that though I can't stand the rest of their catalog. It might as well be a different band between before and after the black album.
Hardcore Metallica fans are some of the worst fans too. I went to school with a kid...
Everything.
But, I'd get them in this order...
Origin of Symmetry (classic album)
Black Holes and Revelations
Absolution
Showbiz
Showbiz is their first album and weakest IMO but it is still a good album overall. You could just tell that once they got the kinks out they were going to be a...
Oh yeah, and bonus points for being a fan of The Faint. Great fucking band even though I didn't care for their last album too much. Blank-Wave Arcade is a classic though.
I've seen Les Savy Fav twice live and they were both amazing shows. I'd say Meneguar is like a little toned down slower version of Les Savy Fav. Do you have Les Savy Fav's new album Let's Stay Friends Psilo? It's fucking sweet.
Great indie/art punk band in the vain of Modest Mouse, Q and Not U or Les Savy Fav.

This is growing on me. When I stopped trying to listen for APC/Tool type vocals I actually started to quite enjoy it.
I still think Maynard needs to make a acoustic album with Tool/APC songs.
I don't think I've taken this album out of my cd player since I bought it a few days after making this thread. Jesu is one of the best bands in music right now. Everyone should check this stuff out. Psilo if you haven't checked them out I think this would be right up your alley (no homo lol)...
This is easily going to be in my top 10 of the year even though it's just a few unreleased and acoustic songs. The acoustic versions are so fucking good.
This comes out a couple weeks after the album and I'll be getting this as well for sure.
Seriously, if you have never seen them live do...
I'd say about a good 1/4 of every paycheck goes to my music collection lol. I haven't drank or done drugs in almost two years so I needed something else to funnel that money into lol.
Still haven't had time to listen to this yet and let it soak but I wasn't really too impressed from just flipping through it. I really didn't here any clean vocals from Maynard at all. I don't know. I can't really say I had super high hopes for this because I knew it was going to be totally...
