I really need some new music. everytime i hit play, whatever music that is playing always seems to irritate me, and i eventually come back to metal.
if there is no progression through the song through highs and lows, it will bore me really fast, and i need my mind to be engaged at all times.
i cant comprehend when people say they want to listen to something where they can turn off their mind and just 'chill'. i understand the sentiment, but i love my mind too much to just let go of a moment where i'm not connected to it, or using it in anyway. Thus, if its not challenging my understanding, and keeping me on my tows, i will eventually get bored of it.
my GO-TO as of late have been (in no order)
Gojira
Devin Townsend (anything related to the man)
Pantera
OLD Black Label Society
Tool
Karnivool
Leprous
As of late, i'm also experimenting with experimental music. not sure what the actual term is for the music, but stuff like 'post-rock' or 'ambient music' or 'glitch music'. though not as heavy as metal, it still keeps my mind engaged and keeps me guessing as to what will happen next
