Quoted from Dee-Bow:love the Sadie's live.. I don't get the same vibes when spinning their albums.. still great..but live they are amazing!
Although I've known of them for many years, I only really discovered them live a few years ago when they came through town. I've seen hundreds of shows and I don't think I've ever been as impressed as the first time I saw them. My jaw dropped and I had goosebumps from the first seconds and it was one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
One of the 2 times I've seen them they were touring arenas opening for Blue Rodeo, but they took their day off to come play in front of 80 people on a Monday night in Quebec City. Both times I've seen them some of the guys came out in the room to listen to the opening act for almost the whole show. I've never seen any other big band do that. To me they're the greatest Canadian band today period (I exclude Neil Young but he's not a band )
This album captures the live experience pretty well I think:

I've listened to the last 3 albums a lot (Northern Passages, Internal Sounds, Darker Circles) and I've grown to love them, but almost as a different thing from the live band.

A beautiful, dare I say, perfect album. It's a bit easier not to misstep since it's more of an EP than a full length. For anybody who likes heavy music, it's instrumental metal/hardcore (metalcore? crossover?) by Parris Mayhew, the guy who wrote most of the Cro-Mags stuff. I don't particulary care about the Cro-Mags and I don't really see a similarity, but you can see the guy has various influences and is a great composer and player.
Quoted from Eman1:[quoted image]
Big Pantera fan - when I listen to this one, first half I think masterpiece, but second half I think it runs a bit out of steam. Far Beyond Driven for my taste but I wouldn't argue anyone calling Vulgar Display their magnum opus.
Don't really listen to black metal, but this one is a classic - every song is a banger. Great riffs, not too lo-fi, not too operatic.
