Converge and Black Sabbath are two bands I’ll never tire of until my dying day.

word. If not for THIS site I probably wouldn’t have discovered Gojira. THIS site rules!

Thanks for the info. I actually do know a couple of songs off Terra Incognita (Clone, Love, Lizard Skin), and they’re actually great songs (and I can see what you mean by career progression), but I never listened to Terra Incognita or The Link as a whole, so I’ll definitely do that as soon as I finish another full spin from FMtS & TWoAF!!!

Okay you’re right…I’m gonna put all my Disney Sing-a-long tapes in that category too. They ruled my VCR in my younger days.

No, I still return to them from time to time.

“For a while I was sick of all the music I had, so I just started searching for bands I hadn’t heard of were just coming up in the past 5 years. It actually worked well and now I have a lot more variety.”

That’s how I came to find THIS site and latch on to it. :)

I’ve definitely felt burnt out on bands before. I think I’m permanently burnt out on Slipknot, the only song I can really stand is “Left Behind” and even that I don’t care to hear. For a while I was sick of all the music I had, so I just started searching for bands I hadn’t heard of were just coming up in the past 5 years. It actually worked well and now I have a lot more variety.

On a side note, the topics you blog about on here are great Eyal! One of the few times I actually enjoy what I’m reading when I come on here.

*Terra Incognita* (their first full-length) is being re-released here in the States on the 13th – remastered and with some “new” (?) live tracks. It and *The Link* (re-released in 2007, I think) are pretty much sure things. I’ve heard the criticism that they’re not as “raw” as the original releases, but considering the fact that I’ve seen the original releases for as little as $50 or as much as $80… Yeah, I’ll take what I can get.

So if you haven’t heard either of those albums yet, there’s no need to get burned on *FMtS* or *TWoAF.* All of their full-lengths (their demos as well, or so I hear) stand on their own, but they’re also interesting spins in order to hear Gojira’s career progression.

I’ve been listenin to Gojira for three months now, like every fuckin’ day. From Mars to Sirius & The Way of All Flesh are on constant repeat!!! I’ll probably get burnt out soon enough (I hope I don’t), but I’ll definitely keep coming back to these albums.

lol Well, I can’t actually talk to much shit on Limp Bizkit ’cause they pretty much ruled my CD player in my younger days. I have, however, moved on. lol We’ll put them in the category of bands that I got burned out on that I won’t be returning to.

i feel like this is a little different simply because of how i got into metal. i started listening to bands like afi, thrice,thursday and other “alternative” music.i n like 7th and 8th grade after listening to random rap from like 4th-6th grade. then i moved to more “heavy (i use this word VERY loosely)” stuff such as alexisonfire, underoath and other scremo. I went to a private school till 12th grade and most of the kids there listened to things such as guster, dave mathews and whatever was on z100 or mtv, so anything that was loud was heavy. in 9th grade i started listening to hardcore and in 10th and 11th grade i started listening to bands like norma jean, it dies today, the chariot, as i lay dying etc but that got burnt out. in 12th grade i didn’t find those bands heavy enough so i started listening to cannibal corpse, death etc and the same thing happend. for some reason in freshman year of college i started listening to a lot of deathcore but yet again i listened to it so much it got boring. then in sophomore year my roommates introduced me to phish, allman brothers, disco biscuits, umphreys mghee, moe and other jam bands and i was hooked. at the same time my other friends introduced me to bands like muse, modest mouse and manman. i also started listening to djs such as prettylights, skream, rusko, bassnectar and the glitch mob. right now (junior year) i seem to have found a healthy rotation of music where i listen to everything except the music from middle school. but every once in a while and afi song or an alexisonfire song will come up in shuffle and ill let it play and feel all nostalgic. i guess one way to sum up this rant is to say I’ve finally found a point where music doesn’t get burnt out anymore i can enjoy listening to lots of different genres and nothing really gets burnt out anymore

Not to mention the rock and roll powerhouse that is Limp Bizkit

I’ll definitely agree with that, kind sir. But it really takes a lot of ignorance to claim that they are “the worst band since the beginning of recorded history”. Especially when bands like Emmure and The Devil Wears Prada are a part of recorded history.

I can’t be offended by it, because I know it has no basis in fact whatsoever. AC/DC is in my top 5 favorite bands.

No lie, this is seriously one of the most offensive things I’ve ever read.

Controller – by Misery Signals is probably my favorite album of all time, but yes i know what you mean. i need some time away from it every once in a while. same sort of thing with Tool – Lateralus, i take some time away but eventually i gotta feed the addiction!
i used to listen to the Red Hot Chili Peppers a LOT for quite a while but i dunno i guess u could say i pretty much burned them out. every once in a while i go back and listen to a song or two but after that its like “ehhh i wanna hear something else”
i still catch myself going back to bands i used to listen to a lot tho like Linkin Park, System of a Down, Eminem, etc.
about the Ghost Reveries thing… that album is incredible. unfortunately i hardly know anyone who likes opeth, so i guess ive gotta enjoy them by myself =P

After Dime died, I listen to “Hollow” on Vulgar Display of Power for two days straight. Needless to stay, my nervous system had had enough. I still choke up when I hear it.

Yes that coment about Zilty was pretty funny. I wonder what Suidakra tastes like? And on the metal-accessability, thing, you are defintely right about that. I mean, when you go into Walmart, are they likely to sell a Cradle of Filth album? Not particularly. This has nothing to do with taling about song cycles, but anyways…

In my shitty town there are about 3 people who really know about them, and my ex-wife is one so technically she doesn’t even count. I fucking love this band.
