bizarre comparison, godspeed by a long shot

flappy bird, Friday, 3 November 2017 22:34 (seven years ago)

okay for real fine do make say think are better than both but if you've legit heard glass hammer not just godspeed the choice isn't all that simple

qualmsley i know it's friday night but there's no excuse for being this drunk. glass hammer are worse than dream theater. can't we make this thread about kairon;irse or bubblemath or yndi halda or the red masque or komara or some band with at least an arguable claim to possessing aesthetic value?

bob lefse (rushomancy), Saturday, 4 November 2017 03:31 (seven years ago)

wtf guys Glass Hammer is great, so much more fun than Dream Theater

frogbs, Saturday, 4 November 2017 03:37 (seven years ago)

the recent godspeed record was excellent

Simon H., Saturday, 4 November 2017 03:50 (seven years ago)

kairon:irse is awesome as is mouth (vortex rules) but don't sleep on glass hammer. it's not all ridiculous

reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 4 November 2017 03:52 (seven years ago)

i'm gonna finish this beer and go to bed. i'm still mad at you quamlslely

frogbs, Saturday, 4 November 2017 04:37 (seven years ago)

but how do glass hammer compare to the FLOWER KINGS?

bob lefse (rushomancy), Saturday, 4 November 2017 12:24 (seven years ago)

i'd take GLASS HAMMER over the flower kings any day of the week (and echolyn over spock's beard)

reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 4 November 2017 15:09 (seven years ago)

i'd take kidney stones over spock's beard, and i've had kidney stones

to be entirely fair to glass hammer i haven't listened to them since the late '90s, and they may conceivably have gotten better. they were bad enough in the '90s that i refuse to ever give them a second chance.

bob lefse (rushomancy), Saturday, 4 November 2017 16:22 (seven years ago)

i won't stan for everything they've ever recorded by some of their 2000s albums channel 1970s YES as righteously as the feelies ape the velvet underground

reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 4 November 2017 16:39 (seven years ago)

*but some

ok this is fair enough

I think GH are one of those rare bands that really do improve on every release, which is made possible by them sucking quite a fair amount in the 90's. Even back then you could tell they had the ideas, just sort of an inability to put them together or make them sound good.

frogbs, Monday, 6 November 2017 14:33 (seven years ago)

somewhere around the time (or maybe just a little before?) they poached jon from sky cries mary they got pretty decent if not always consistently so

reggie (qualmsley), Monday, 6 November 2017 17:08 (seven years ago)

I think its funny how much they got clowned on for hiring a Jon Anderson soundalike. Given their Yes worship and troubles at the lead vocalist position I don't see how they could possibly pass him up.

frogbs, Monday, 6 November 2017 20:50 (seven years ago)

P disappointed that there's a shitty band named after a great KW Jeter novel (a title I also borrowed once) argh

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I'm guessing this is what Glass Hammer sound like to people who don't like the band
