[QUOTE="jonbroken, post: 78721, member: 902"] [b]Streetlight Manifesto - A Moment of Silence[/b] off "Everything Goes Numb" The song is one of the best produced tracks I've ever heard. It's a true testament to Tomas Kalnoky's genius. Every instrument comes across clearly and with purpose. The bass guitar is especially present but never over bearing. Kalnoky's voice is perfectly pitched and his timing is amazing. The brass during the breaks and the bridge just adds so much depth and variation. The whole album is worth checking out as the epitomy of contemporary ska/punk. It's mature and well produced. [b]The Flatliners - KHTDR[/b] off "The Great Awake" Incredibaly complex interplay between lead and rythm guitar, well balanced with bass guitar, filled out with perfectly timed horns. The vocals are spiteful and have the perfect tone for the song. Its hard and fast with great dynamics. One of the best examples of the strides punk rock has made towards professional production and an indication of how mature the genre has become. That said, it does stick with some of the conventions of punk rock but takes them so much further. Again the whole album is work checking out, as well as the latest album "Cavalcade" which highlights the bands musical depth and progression. And finally, the greatest song of all time (to me) [b]The Decline by NOFX[/b]. Its included here not for its mystical sonic qualities, or the amazing musicality or any other set of adjectives and abstract terms. It simply says more in the 18 minutes it plays for than any other [b]album[/b] I have ever heard. If you want scathing social commentary, astute political satire and arguably one of the masterpeices of SoCal punk rock (and perhaps worldwide punk rock) look no further. [/QUOTE]
