goes hard should be on the right, seems more intuitive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Anything with "higher"on the left (goes harder) just seems wrong. Arbitrary choice, sure, but it's what I'm used to.

Calibrating...

Q1: Gwar, Mick Gordon

Q2: Hotline Miami OST

Q3: Nightwish

Q4: Plantasia

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's not my connotation for Nightwish, but only because I learned of them by playing Littlebigplanet 2 haha (Whoever Owns the Night)

They slap though!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I was hearing them in the 00s, and their sound had a deliciously sad vibe to my ear.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I concur, nice list

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can put Weezer anywhere on this chart and be correct.

Following Cartesian quadrants:

Q1: Sunn O)))

Q2: Electric Wizard

Q3: Nine Inch Nails, specifically The Fragile

Q4: Porcupine Tree - Signify

Extra credit:

Left side: King Gizzard, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

Right side: Delicate Steve, Lemon Jelly, The Orb - The Dream

Top: I'm kinda at a loss here, I can't think of a band that makes you want to kill but has songs that both do and don't go hard.

Bottom: Steven Wilson

Q4: Porcupine Tree

God damn if that's not spot-on.

Top: Sevendust? Depends on how harshly you judge butt-rock. Godsmack, same story. Orgy, if you'd put them that far up.

Bottom: to avoid technically repeating Porcupine Tree, I'd suggest Modest Mouse.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Note: this is following Cartesian coordinates, so it goes counter-clockwise starting with top right being Q1. I put porcupine tree in bottom right because they don't go that hard, but damn they're depressing.

Edit: Also, I haven't listened to Modest Mouse. I haven't listened to anything depressing in a while. Music plays a big role in my mood, and there's enough depressing stuff going on right now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I am familiar with Cartesian coordinates. I was also left speechless by "Stop Swimming."

And if you're avoiding pessimistic music, yeah, you can give Modest Mouse a miss. Raucous! Cynical. Occasionally real fuckin' dark. I keep starting to recommend parts of an album and then remembering the album is titled Good News For People Who Like Bad News.

In the vicinity, but much more nuanced and upbeat, there's Death Cab For Cutie... irony be damned. The lead singer was half of The Postal Service for their one album, of which "Such Great Heights" is unreservedly delightful and positive. Death Cab's discography proper is downright jaunty. The subject matter's just melancholy, at best.

I'd give the top of extra credit to Danny Brown or Swans

I keep cracking up at Delicate Steve being perfect for the doesn't go hard slider, though.

Coil

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

TOOL would be EVERYWHERE.

Suicidal tendencies is definitely, want to kill yourself/ others right in the middle, and goes hard.

Melancholy and the infinite sadness by the Smashing pumpkins for wants to make you kill yourself but doesn't go hard.

Metallica, Master of puppets for goes hard, but makes you want to kill yourself.

Andrew Jackson Jihad for goes hard, and makes you want to kill other people. Mostly thinking of "fuck white peope".

Where would Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins be on this?

I went with using the actual image before running out of space and realizing text was better

Edit: here's more:

I ran out of motivation and didn't write anything

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I ran out of motivation

yet you didn't put Bury the Light on the chart

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'd like to submit Rick Astley - Never Gonna Stop (not to be confused with his earlier song, and def worth a listen) as slightly southwest of the center

I'm not sure where to categorize it:
Drowning Pool - Bodies

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Probably, yes. But I'm not a native speaker so maybe it has some second meaning like let us cuddle on the floor.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That's an interesting take. After reviewing the lyrics I don't think so though lol

My Morning Jacket - It Beats For You.

Near misses: Phil Collins - Something Happened On The Way To Heaven. (Too far left.) The Mountain Goats - This Year. (Too far down.) Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart. (Too far up and right.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Sour Times -Portishead.

Low Key Suicidal.

Frankly, most of music sung by Beth Gibbons is borderline suicidal. Even the "happy" songs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Human Target Practice - Hail the Sun literally at the end of top left, the entire album is beautiful (Wake - Hail the Sun)

Bo En - My Time Goes hard and makes you wanna kill yourself

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Q1: Foster The People. "Forgone Destruction." Prodigy, honestly. Stone Temple Pilots.

Q2: Reign In Blood seems cliche because it's the obvious right answer. Meshuggah. KMFDM.

Q3: Third Eye Blind. My Morning Jacket, Z. Frightened Rabbit, Midnight Organ Fight.

Q4: The Caretaker, e.g. An Empty Bliss Beyond This World. Xiu Xiu. The Disintegration Loops. A Momentary Lapse Of Reason. Deathcab For Cutie.

Right: The Mountain Goats.

Top: Wumpscut? High On Fire. At The Drive-In.

Left: Dragonforce. (Yes it's ridiculous. I don't care. Power metal rules.) Lightning Bolt. The Decemberists.

Bottom: The Joy Formidable. Death's Dynamic Shroud. The Barenaked Ladies' "Next Time." A Perfect Circle. The Twilight Sad. The Cranberries. As Tall As Lions.
