EVERYONE read this
 

Last night I was absent, and my body became a conduit through which god spake, and he spaketh:

"El Cielo by Dredg is the best fucking album EVER."

Seriously though if you haven't heard it I would definitely check it out, Don't just overlook this. Get to know the album. It's like a movie. It's like a living entity. It's so complete, solid. It is genious on every scale, from the entire album, right down to every note beat and lyric. It is a masrerpiece. I can't believe I can own it, and not be able to own a Picasso. Isn't that what's awesome about music.

So I planned on writing that, but now I'm listening to David Darling, and thinking maybe I was wrong.

I hate how things are overlooked on message boards, because we all feel we have something important to say, and then alot of times things just get passed aside. I think the most important thing I have to say about music is that you should check out dredg, and don't you dare download some songs and just listen to them, you must arrange them in the order they are in on the album.

I am quite familiar with other albums such as Aenima, quite familiar. I mean I know Aenima like I know my Mom, and I can just say that El Cielo squashes that arrogant abomination. Ok, I'm exaggerating. I'm comparing it to Aenima because that is another "album", not just a gallimofry of songs. Aenima can get a little cocky though, self righteous. If you know Aenima you know what I mean. El Cielo has none of that. I would compare it to THE WALL in a second.

the wall sucks though

I LOVE El Cielo! Best album ever.... well, I don't quite know about that... but it is awesome and it never bores me. It's a great listen.

What/Who is it ? (sorry for the laziness)

Dredg - El Cielo

It's an album. That's about all that I can say about it.

Cool, heard some samples. Not bad, looks like I will be picking up the SACD version tomorrow. I heard several people state that this is what Opeth tried to sound like? I thought Opeth was a pretty heavy band?

uh........... well i never heard of opeth trying to emulate dredg...ever... in any way....

but yes, the SACD is AWESOME. i highly recommend it.

You definitely need to listen to the album as a whole, and read the lyrics, and look at the liner notes.

Yes, the liner notes are awesome.

i'm a big big fan of dredg and this record.. kudos to you for bringing it to people's attention.

the singer's voice is so haunting and amazing.

Well read your recommendation, and then read about 20 others on Amazon saying the same thing, and bought the album today from bestbuy. Got about two full length listens in the car on the drive(there and back). Nothing on it is objectionable by any means, and a few of the songs have guitars that can get me a little into it. Still working on it, and once I get a chance to read lyrics / the notes maybe I will fall in love with it. But as it stands its just a good CD, nothing special.

Yea, well like i downloaded a bunch of dredg, and never really paid to much attention to it, but then after a while i came to just love it

Again people bring up Dredg and I'm yet to hear them. That's it. I'm buying this album today!

--jaded

Yeah, same here. I listened to it, wasn't stunned per se, but I picked up the album eventually and it was just like... WOAH.

That's another thing, you need the whole album for the effect, not just select tracks.

You guys ever listened to Serart?

With the amount of hype being produced, i've been swayed to download it :p :D

Re: EVERYONE read this
 

Sorry, but I'm only entering this thread to say how much I hate thread titles such as this. "EVERYONE read this" gives me no useful information whatsoever. :(

Yea, but there have been other threads about dredg and pretty much only the people that know who they are would go in and post, so that title was made to get people in, so that people that haven't heard them could check them out

Yes, El Cielo is a great album. They're working on new stuff right now, aren't they?

I don't like Aenima. I've listened to it five times, intent on finding the genius in it that others allegedly found, and I think it's overrated garbage.

While I like Aenima, I think that Lateralus is far superior. But we're in the wrong thread here! Continue discussing dredg, this is no place for Tool!

Bite your tongue!!!!:hmm:
