I haven't liked anything by these guys since the Pathogenic album either. Vocals are weak and the songs just aren't that great as they used to be.

He should have named it "Out of Touch".

Seriously, they could have Easter record a solo album on his love for "The Burning Man Festival" and make it a two pack.

Funny how Tourniquet has been quiet for 7 years, and Ted now has all these releases coming up this year. There is also a new Live in California album from 1998 available for download.

"Stop The Bleeding (From My Ears)" Parts I & II

I need to check this band out. What would you recommend?

Seriously, I have never really dug this band at all. I bought STOP THE BLEEDING as a new release years ago, the vocals annoyed the p*ss outta me, so I ditched that pretty quickly. Years later, I gave WHERE MOTH & RUST DESTROY a shot when I found a cheap used copy, figuring "Well, that vocalist who annoyed me has been outta the band for a while now, let's try again" and that album did nuthin' for me either.

Great players but I dunno, they've always seemed a little too "out there" for me.

Psycho Surgery is probably my next favorite then Stop The Bleeding.

I would go with "Stop the Bleeding".

So true.

Their music is VERY, VERY indulgent I think.

I hated Stop The Bleeding when it came out, still don't like it very much. Felt like I wasted my money on that one! Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance is good, so is Psycho Surgery (good, not great) but the rest I could do without.

I always thought Psychosurgery sounded like Exodus. I guess that's why it's my favorite.

A lot of progressive stuff is...

They think outside the box a bit, but that is good sometimes because it makes them unique. If they just played run of the mill metal or thrash it would be boring since there already are a million bands that sound alike.

My biggest complaint has always been Luke's vocals. I never cared for his singing style.

I'm not a huge fan, but I like them well enough. I'd give a new album by them a fair listen. Probably wouldn't be a top priority, but if I liked what I heard, I'd get it.

Agreed.

I'll definately check it out since they have a lot to prove for a seven year absence.

So they finally landed a record deal then, and even convinced them to release Tes's solo stuff!

I'll def. be buying the new TQT. But the Tediquet I migh pass on.

Would not surprise me if they were going indie. To be recording in Summer and have it out immediately sounds like indie to me.

But the best prog has tight, specifically-crafted, focused arrangements a la DREAM THEATER, FATES WARNING, CYNIC, etc. Meandering around at the listener's peril is not acceptable in good prog any more than it is in any other genre.

Or People Eat Tasty Animals

Ive only ever liked 2 albums by Tquet both when Guy Ritter was their singer.
