Fuiam Catha by Oi Polloi from 1999.
Despite the Gaelic name, only one song is in Gaelic. The rest is in English.
Pro-environmentalism, anti-fascist, Scottish anarcho-punk.
Fuiam Catha means Sound of Battle.
There are two (in terms of “every song on them is my favourite”):
- Linkin Park - Reanimation
- Placebo - Sleeping With Ghosts
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R and Like Clockwork… (top 2 for me right now)
Also:
AWOLNATION - Megalithic Symphony
Foster the People - Torches
Them Crooked Vultures - Self titled
Hozier’s Unreal Unearth
Squarepusher - Feed Me Weird Things
The Caretaker - Everywhere At the End of Time
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park
Highpaerbowlee - The Oil Crash
The Faint - Danse Macabre
Hybrid Theory is the strongest Linkin Park album, with Meteora in close second
The Hands That Thieve is great whether you listen to Streetlight Manifesto ska version or the Toh Kay acoustic version
My Head Is An Animal remains my favorite Of Monsters And Men album
Christian rock as a genre is generally bad, but rock that is Christian can be pretty good: ? by Neal Morse remains one of my favorite albums
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Haken - The Mountain
King Crimson - Discipline
Thank You Scientist - Stranger Heads Prevail
Some solid prog recs here!! Porcupine Tree is excellent.
Do you like Dream Theater? Any thoughts on their latest release with Mike Portnoy back behind the drumkit?
I used to listen to DT a lot, but I kinda stopped following them after Octavarium. Their latest release is honestly not really interesting to me. They’ve been kinda creatively stagnant for a while, even with Portnoy’e return. The songs just have the same repetitive formula and arrangements. Meanwhile newer bands like Haken (who are the most similar to DT in my opinion) have been making amazing music.
Oh 100% agree. Haken are some of the best in the game right now.
