1053.0. "Corrosion of Conformity" by BUSY::BUSY::SLABOUNTY (Trouble with a capital 'T') Thu Jan 19 1995 08:28

    
    	Whenever I heard this band's name, I thought "nasty, loud, and
    	horrible death metal".
    
    	Well, I heard "Albatross" today and it's nothing like that at
    	all.  Good, consistent guitar work, OK vocals [sort of like
    	Joe Walsh], and really good overall.
    
    	Any opinions on these guys?  Is all their stuff good?

1053.1STRATA::LUCHTIs it performance? Is it expression?Thu Jan 19 1995 08:377
    I like that tune!!  Especially the lead break that kinda 
    sounds out of place.  Don't know about their other stuff;
    do know that they're supporting Megadedder on the N.E. leg
    of the tour.

	Try the tune's "Vote With a Bullet" and "Mine Are the Eyes of God"

	GREAT tempo changes,  great lyrics, I got the feeling that they were
	major music school attendees/grads, possibly trained in classical.

	Great slammin'

    That's exactly what I thought.  I was surprised to find that they were
    the ones who did "Albatross".   Guess I'll have to pick up this album
    jugding from the last reply!

    I think the singer is the guitarist after they ousted the other singer.
    I have Technocracy and Blind (like the latter much better) and want to
    get the new one. Not too bad. I listen to different stuff than a lot of
    other people, but then again, I see what some people here are listening
    to and I don't feel bad! :)

1053.7SUBURB::COOKSHalf Man,Half BiscuitFri Feb 03 1995 14:089
    This band have been going for years.
    
    I`ve got "blind" and "deliverance",both excellent. Especially
    Deliverance.
    
    The older stuff is a lot more punk. I think there`s a bit of a
    religious angle on the latest album,though not down your throat
    a la Stryper or anything like that.

    	I picked up "Blind" the other day ... re-mastered and has a few
    	bonus tracks thrown in for good measure.
    
    	IMO, not as good as "Deliverance".
    
    	[And there are 3 or 4 "hidden" tracks on this one.]

    Clean my wounds-I think that's the name of the tune in rotation on Much
    Music and the Radio up here.Great song.Anyone know the name of the CD
    or what the rest of it's like?

1053.21Deliverance - I think...SUBSYS::MSOUCYMon Apr 10 1995 08:4612
    
    I think it is called Deliverance, and that is one of two songs on it. I
    have Blind and Technocracy, don't care for the latter as it is VERY
    speedy in my opinion compared to my tastes. Now Blind I thought was
    good, it has some speedy stuff in it, but not overkill (now there is a
    ok band too!) and fairly heavy. They dumped the singer after that album
    from what I gather and I think the guitarist (who sang on vote with a
    bullet) is singing along with maybe someone else.....let me know how it
    all sounds (anyone that has it that is!) as I was considering getting
    it myself to see how it was.

1053.23Deliverance isn't bad!SUBSYS::MSOUCYMon Jul 24 1995 14:209
    
    Actually, after finally getting it (went with it on the Columbia House
    deal I signed up for) and it isn't too bad! Some decent tunes on it and
    some acoustic stuff w/keys/string instruments. I'd like to hear what
    the re-mastered Blind sounds like and the additional tracks/hidden
    tracks on it!

    CoC is playing here in Ottawa at Barrymore's Aug.16. Are they good? I
    listened to they're latest CD and it's great, but I've also listened to
    Technocrasy (sp) and it wasn't that good. So I'm a little hesitant on
    going.
    
    Any opinions?

1053.25BUSY::SLABOUNTYHoly rusted metal, Batman!Fri Aug 04 1995 14:243
    
    	They're also playing at Axis [Boston MA] within the next 2 weeks.
    
1053.26BUSY::SLABOUNTYHoly rusted metal, Batman!Tue Aug 29 1995 17:5514
    
    	I picked up "Technocracy" about a month ago.
    
    	Those of you who go out and buy this album expecting to hear some
    	more stuff like "Albatross" and "Clean My Wounds" are going to be
    	very disappointed.  This is a very heavy punkish album.
    
    	The one I have is some sort of a remaster with extra tracks ...
    	not different tracks, but "alternate versions" of some of the
    	songs on the album, like the title song.
    
    	My favorite of theirs is "Deliverance".  I'll have to go back and
    	listen to "Blind" again, since it's been awhile.
    
1053.27CLEAN MY WOUNDS IS COOL...KDCA01::CDCUP_TORRENTue Aug 29 1995 18:0510
    
    	I've only heard the earlier stuff a couple of times, I didn't
    find it punkish though. I found it very heavy, and nothing like
    the new CD (with new singer). They also just played here in Ottawa,
    on the 16th, but since i was still in the Hospital I missed it,
    but a buddy said it was a very good show, alot of the new stuff,
    but also quite a bit of the older heavier stuff. I like the new
    CD, I didn't like the older stuff as much...

1053.28Isn't the singer the guitarist??SUBSYS::MSOUCYWed Aug 30 1995 10:057
    
    I thought the singer was the guitarist that did the singing on "Vote
    with a Bullet" from Blind? I personally like Blind better. Deliverance
    is decent also. I have Technocracy, don't care for it much at all. I
    was hoping it was going to be along the lines of Blind.....

    Shawn was right.  "Wiseblood" cranks!  I'm really liking most
    of this CD...
    
    A little edgier than Kyuss, but more down to earth than Monster
    Magnet...  the buzz guitar "almost" borders on Iommi worship,
    and there's just enough Led Zep influences to keep the band
    out from being too hardcore metal...
