If you do not love them, please show yourself out of the thread.

truth. RL had everything Erase All Names did right without the same bloated, bogged down feeling to its play length.

Iamthegoddamndevil is a winner.

I cannot express how much I enjoy that song.

that's sweet. I usually can't pick that out until after the year happens.

just curious, but what else has made the list or is contending for this year?

I'm all about Cap'n Jazz, Owls, Am. Ftbl, and Owen.

I've been getting into Joan of Arc little by little, but am not fully in the pool yet. Make Believe has definitely helped.

capsule blue is fucking up there

I really hate that lots of people are writing it off as "yeah, I've fucking heard Ampere before" and similar comments. Yeah, the sound has been out there for a while, but the cohesion and quality all the way through is spectacular.


Have you heard Furnace's new LP? They were on tour with Capsule for a while (you probably already knew this, I'm not trying to condescend), and it's absolutely insane. Up there in that genre too.

i actually seen them both in a tiny ass living room a couple months ago. probably top 5 shows ive ever went too. the guys from both bands were sweet as fuck, so stoked.
i like capsule better but furnaces drummer/singer is fucking incredible. his hands moved at lightning speed. and its weird cause i dont like ampere that much and ive tried really hard to get into orchid and just cant.

the only thing that made me think that is that Dave Geeting is a great drummer.
