Topic: Unabomber (album)


In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
  Progressive Ears Album Reviews
The earlier album's lengthy, droning explorations of bizarre textures and extended build-ups still appear, but either used as the transitions between songs or edited, defined by sharp-edged harmonic progressions, and built into those songs’ forms.
On the other hand, the Unabomber was a criminal madman, not at all harmless, and evil by almost anyone's definition.
The album's most obviously “progressive” track, it combines a relentless guitar riff, interruptions by abrupt unison triplets, and a Fred Frith-like Eastern European jig used as a bridge.

 UGO.com Music - The Top 11 Album Covers
But for their comeback album, Kid A, the group brought the landscape cover to the 21st century, displaying computer-generated snow-capped mountains against a hellish background.
For their fourth album, Eels decided to go with a 'Unabomber' type theme, putting (assumedly) vocalist and brains of the band Mark "E" Everett on the cover in a hoodie, beard, and sunglasses.
Going for the retro album cover style from the early 60s, complete with a listing of the albums' hits and the record label logo, is a touch that might have been contrived anywhere else but is completely appropriate here.

 #15 Reviews [Extreme Metal]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The new album is in the works, and, of course, as a victim of the new millenium with Jennifer Lopez and Grammies, I'll be looking forward not only to band's new music but also for promo pictures including the singer Cristina.
This album can be interesting even to fans of Helloween or Running Wild who want something of fl metal which wouldn't go far away from their so loved heavy metal.
This album serves as a fill-up in someone's list of "history of underground." At least, no one dares to blame Old Funeral for playing cliche death metal, as then it was only the beginning...

 Interview: David Thrussel (Snog/Black Lung/Soma) - 6/5/98
For this album, the lyrics came first and the music was totally written around their framework.
I happened to be listening to the track while I was in the middle of writing the new Snog album and it spoke to me. I ended up writing the lyrics for the track in my notebook alongside all of the other lyrics I was working on and they seemed to fit so well together.
Originally "Psychocivilized Society" was going to be a live album derived from about 50 DAT tapes I had recored during performances, but I felt that the sound quality of the live material wasn't good enough.

 Wind Jammer Liner Notes
After prolonged research the three of us had come to the conclusion that western civilization, as we know it had peaked with the Beatles' Second album (American version) and was now in a perilous decline.
We went into his studio with Shirley Bassey's recording of "Goldfinger" and told him that was what we wanted our record to sound like, notwithstanding the fact that we were a three piece rock band and this was a forty piece orchestra.
The Unabomber nodded knowingly as he rolled a fat joint on the recording desk.

 SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM Of Natural History reviews and MP3
This album is actually almost impossible to describe, one has to listen to it, and not only once or twice to discover its beauty and uniqueness.
This album is for sure the most unique and innovative release of the year 2004 in any category of music.
This album is not to be understood at once, but with time, it reveals itself to be a truely astonashing masterpiece.

On this album the songs are mostly about the destruction of everything you believe in and the birth of something new by the channelling of aggression.
That's not to say it's a concept album, it's just that all the songs are about pushing outside of accepted norms and the strength that comes from challenging your beliefs.
L : It's getting closer to the ideal we had for the band, and on this album we got to explore a lot more of the sonic territory that was out of our grasp before.

 Serial Killer Central
Gary Wright of Salt Lake City, who set off an explosive from the Unabomber in 1987 that sent a nail through his chin and left him with 200 shrapnel wounds all over his body, said he is most bothered at the possibility that bomb-making schematics and victims' personal information would be among the items sold.
In 1995, after the Unabomber's 35,000-word manifesto was jointly published by the New York Times and the Washington Post, David Kaczynski called the FBI because he thought the writing was similar to his brother's.
The Unabomber case is unusual, Kahan said, because the court is ordering the sale of Kaczynski's property, with the proceeds going to his victims.

Then in 1989, the group first began attaining global acclaim with Gloom, an album that had full European distribution thanks to its release on Vinyl Solutions (the album was first released as a split CD with the Grim reality LP in 1990 and was later remastered, repackaged, and re-released in 1998 by Decomposed records).
Then in 2000, seven years after the success of Sinister slaughter, Nuclear Blast re-released the classic album with the Behind the wall of sleep EP as bonus tracks, and the group finally unveiled their long-awaited Dahmer album, featuring production by respected producer Neil Kernon.
Given the album's grammy-winning producer and the ambitious status as a concept album that almost seems to play like a musical, Dahmer again sparked interest in the band.

 Splendid: Features: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Their newest record, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum of Natural History, is a vortex of creative destruction, leaping from god to the devil, from the Futurists' love affair with technology to the Unabomber, from quasi-operatic story songs about cockroaches to percussion-driven, groove-oriented paeans to the apocalypse.
That's the ideas of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, who was an anti-technologist, living in a little Thoreau shack in Montana.
That's one of the messages of the Unabomber: the whole idea that we can't do anything about it and we can't turn back is actually just part of the propaganda of the techno-industrial complex.

Flanked by Kool G Murder on bass and keyboards and original Eels member Butch Norton on drums, E discovered early on in the recording process that producer John Parish (PJ Harvey, Giant Sand) would be a vital component in illustrating the concepts in his head.
The resulting album was released in Europe last year with a successful tour; this month, America gets its chance to hear the new disc.
I mean I'm almost finished with the next Eels album right now and there's three others that haven't come out that are all ready to go.

The fucking odacity Metallica has to throw an album and a career in the garbage is just fucking beyond me. I bet Macabre would KILL ringleader Lars and feed him to the angry crowd which is true metal fans.
I can't get enough of the drumwork on the album, there is some great changeups in the tracks which keeps it diverse, and the guy just fucking shreds the double kick at times.
If you put this album on, you wouldn't be able to say it sounds like one band in perticular, you would have to say, I don't quite thing I have ever heard anything like this before...

 Macabre-interview 11
Until 1993 they released albums every few years but from that time on hardly anything was heard from the band (except for the Behind the wall of sleep MCD).
So I feared that they split up but fortunately last year the Unabomber MCD had been released and recently even a full length album has seen the day light.
I was surprised that Neil Kernon produced the album because he's not very known as an underground producer.

 TrouserPress.com :: X
Certainly, the elements that give X their majesty on later LPs are already present: the vibrant rockabilly/Chuck Berry guitar licks by Billy Zoom (a rock veteran who was in his early 30s by the time of X's debut), thundering drums by D.J. Bonebrake (ex-Eyes) and the arresting male-female vocal harmonies, reminiscent of early Jefferson Airplane.
Although the first two albums were combined on a single Slash CD in 1988, in 2001 they were reissued separately in expanded form with new liner notes and ample bonus material.
An album by the Knitters — a part-time, mostly acoustic band consisting of X (minus Billy Zoom), Blaster Dave Alvin and a stand-up bassist — proved to be a glimpse into the future when, in early '86, Zoom left X to form his own band and Alvin gave up the Blasters (temporarily) to replace him.

While not overburdened with studio trickery, Order and Punishment is the band's best-produced recording to date, much to the chagrin of the 'more underground than thou' crowd who were likely content with the fact that their previous efforts suffered from such crummy production that the songs sounded even weirder than the band probably intended.
The primary difference between this new album and its predecessors is that for better or worse, you can actually hear what the band is doing.
The album is heavy, catchy and to the point; not quite as wildly experimental as I had come to anticipate from these guys, but still quirky enough to provoke at least one "What the Fuck?" reaction per song.

 Eels Album - Souljacker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
For this album, the eels are E, Butch, John Parrish and Kool G Murder.
The booklet for the album features a phrase in Russian which translates to "Good morning, my love." E married a Russian dentist before this album was recorded.
The album was originally going to be non-stop rock but E's new wife complained that there weren't enough songs about her and E felt that solid rock was perhaps too much and so songs like Fresh Feeling and World of Shit were drafted in.

 Eels news at universalbuzz.com!
The Eels have revealed the cover art for their upcoming album, Souljacker, which is scheduled for release internationally on September 24 and in the U.S. in January 2002.
Though Souljacker - the song, album, or general term - does not refer to the Unabomber directly, the phrase was used for a different mid-90s killer who believed he was stealing the souls of the people he murdered.
No stranger to morbid fascinations, E was said to have been inspired by the phrase during the recording of the Eels 1998 depresso-pop masterpiece, Electro-Shock Blues.

 MACABRE - Interview on XtreemMusic.com
Some weeks ago we saw released the new MACABRE album "Murder Metal" will be release, and for this reason we got in touch with Nefarius (Bass and vocals), he answered questions that have to be with this and more shit.
Why some songs just like "Unabomber" are not finally appearing on the new CD (in the "Unabomber" MCD was written that this song will be featured in "Murder Metal").
There were a lot of reasons why it took so long for the album to come out, but that's not important, it's only important that it is out now, and that people can get it.

Of Natural History isn't a tribute to the Unabomber, nor is it a concept album, but it nonetheless comes across as a unified statement.
The band spent several months, spread out over a three-year period, recording and mixing the spectacular-sounding, headphone-friendly album, piling on the overdubs and stitching the songs together into suitelike movements.
The scrapes, clangs, and crunches give parts of the new album an early-'80s industrial feel, which is no coincidence, given Rathbun's appreciation for fellow instrument builders Einstürzende Neubauten.

The overall sound of this album is a great mix of cool crunchy punk-infused hard rock, loopy swamp industrial funk, and a little bit of hyper clown country-pickin' rave-up.
Definitely an album for those with diverse tastes who like to hear it all in one place.

This album is very different than previous Guster albums: a different sound, one much more eclectic, though at times too conventional/poppy.
Like with the last few albums, I've found that you have to listen to the album a number of times to get a feel for it before you can really judge it.
When you first come to listen to the album, you are still thinking of the past album and that colors the way you react to the new album.
