Cynic[views:3329][posts:26]__________________________________________ [Jan 10,2008 4:44pm - corpus_colostomy ""] rules on so many diff. levels. anyone else feel me? |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 10,2008 4:46pm - goatcatalyst ""] word on the street is that there's a new one coming soon |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 10,2008 4:47pm - goatcatalyst ""] ... and i'll fuck their mouths if they break out that christing vocoder horseshit |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 10,2008 4:47pm - corpus_colostomy ""] no shit? 'Focus' kills. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 10,2008 4:50pm - goatcatalyst ""] the demos are even better. no vocoder & Tony Teagarden on vocals = better. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 10,2008 4:59pm - brian_dc ""] the new stuff is going to be all vocoder stuff. At least according to the live video of a new song that was floating around the music was out of control good, so I don't care |
| ______________________________ [Jan 10,2008 5:02pm - Blue ""] tha robot vokills allow me to see through time, so fuck ya'll n00bs. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 10,2008 5:03pm - corpus_colostomy ""] hahaha! truuuu. |

At least according to the live video of a new song that was floating around The vocoder drum solo was killer. Yeah, in all seriousness not a fan of that particular element, but they rule hard enough for me to overcome it. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 10,2008 8:46pm - hunterhunter ""] sean reiner is an awesome drummer, is he on the new one? |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 10,2008 8:50pm - the_reverend ""] didn't the extra songs on the focus re-issue eat bawls? |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 10,2008 9:06pm - corpus_colostomy ""] agreed rev. |

| ________________________________________ [Jan 11,2008 12:30am - neverpurified ""] Those songs on the re-issue weren't even Cynic songs...they were Portal songs. granted, Portal was essentially Cynic with a chick singer, but they were going for a totally different vibe |
| _________________________________ [Jan 11,2008 1:20am - anthny ""] The Portal shit doesn't suck. I love that CD and listen to it all the time. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 11,2008 3:35am - BSV ""] meh, I'd rather just listen to Athiest. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 11,2008 7:51am - niflheim ""] Sean Reinert is a sick drummer, though I'm not the biggest fan of Portal (miami) or Aghora. I thought the cyber vocals on Focus were aesthetically well placed. Focus is a classic a long side Atheist - Unquestionable Presence / Elements and Pestilence - Spheres. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 11,2008 9:13am - aril ""] Cynic is great, but like BornSoVile said, I'd rather listen to Atheist! Can't beat the song Mother Man. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 11,2008 9:28am - goatcatalyst ""] I too prefer Atheist. And I'll take the Cynic demoes over Focus. Please and thank you. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 11,2008 9:36am - aril ""] Cynic's demo tapes from '90 and '91 (I believe those are the correct years, can't remember) are actually really good, despite the production. That's my favorite Cynic. |

That's my favorite Cynic. Yeah the 89, 90 and 91 demos are the best. 88 is good too but really hard to appreciate due to the low quality of the recording. Also, re: the Atheist v. Cynic comparisons - I don't even really think that's relevant. Cynic approached jazzfusion/metal in suuuuuuuch a different way than Atheist that I don't even see the point in comparing them. Cynic is a completely different listening experience than Atheist. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 11,2008 2:04pm - BSV ""] Yeah, Cynic is for pompous jazz cunts who think they can play metal cause they know how to wank. Athiest is for metal heads with heart. |

Athiest is for metal heads with heart. i somewhat agree with you, although i love both bands. cynic definitely comes off as more pretentious, or at least the big fans do. atheist seems a little less appreciated and not pretentious at all. |

Those who judge a bands merit by the general characteristics of their listening audience are: un-metal and have less heart than those who they point the finger at from high atop their perch. talk about pompous snobbery... |
