about
>the epic vibe in Tainted Silence blah blah blah
For me, that "epic" craving is suitably satiated with Nothing - track 3
on Younique. They could have ended it at 5:25... and again at 6:20...but
no! It rises again and again, like a punch-drunk stallone in rocky 4, to
kick my communist steroid-filled ass.
I felt that Tainted was epic, yes, but not really...uh, good. :) It was
absolutely proggier. I think we all agree the first album was much
proggier. But that alone don't make it good. Actually, I think this
reflects my own personal trend - I tend to lean towards stuff where prog
is there but not emphasized so much. That's probably why kevmo was my
favorite DT keyboardist. He provided a sort of "industrial harmony" that
nobody has replaced. If removed from metal, it's basically his solo
stuff, which I love. But when folded into metal, it creates a wicked
perfect blend - for DT, most apparent in Awake. And while our guys have
gone on to greater things(M2 is still my favorite), there's been an
empty spot in my head, just waiting for that sound...which younique has.
Younique really is very analagous to Awake. And really, Behind goes
right with I&W. I wonder if like me, everyone that likes awake prefers
younique, and those that like behind prefer I&W?

YESSSS!!! Finally somebody mentions my favorite band from 2000! I definately
second the recommendation but would also like to give some additional info:
Freak Kitchen have 4 albums so far:
- Appetizer (1994) very heavy, less refined than their other efforts.
- Spanking Hour (1996) my personal favorite (probably because I had this one
first), heavy yet melodic and progressiv. Some very catchy lyrics and tunes
("I bang my heaeaeaead against the walls of stupidity" *jump around the room*)
- Freak Kitchen (1998) sometimes also referred to as "Bull", described as a
heavy-pop-rock-latin-world-jazz-avant-garde-metal-blues-record straight from hell,
their furthest move into Frank Zappa territory. Should probably not be your first
selection to get into FK.
- Dead Soul Men (2000) see Jan's original message.
I keep plugin' this album to everybody I know. And I nearly gave a copy of
Dead Soul Men as a Xmas pressent to all my friends if it wouldn't be so hard
to buy them... I had to order through a Swedish online shop which was quite an
experience with me not being able to understand a single word of Swedish...
http://www.skivhugget.se/ <= the guys delivered _very_ fast and friendly
(two confirmation e-mails) to the US and since we don't have to pay Swedish tax
the CDs turned out to be cheaper than your average Dream Theater release at a
local store.
I had Dead Soul Men on top of my top 5 list of 2000, let's see where it ended
up once we get the tallies (hey Neil, what's up?)
have fun - jerry
NP - Freak Kitchen, Dead Soul Men (even louder....)

Behind is a classic. It's their legacy. Funny how you would find Tainted Silence formulaic, since they are kind of the ones who CREATED that formula.. :)

The thing I loved about him was his lead style. The kor's he used had that "sound" tha's just awesome. Put LITS on through a dvd player or a good cd player and crank it, man there is nothing better. Except SFAM.
I do prefer Jordan, Derek always came across as a rock star.

Hey.
Just wanted to agree that Freak Kitchen is an amazing band! I especially like their older albums (Appetizer and Spanking Hour), but just because I've listened to them more than the newer stuff. Besides kick-arse music, the lyrics are awesome! Witty and very funny. I just wish they'd cross the sea and play in Finland some day...
