OSI - 03 False Start

[Gonko100]

its sick. whenever gavin is involved, music sounds better.

[bach22drummer]

kevins voice sounds me like zakk's :D from black label society

[Santaslave666]

The second riff is tasty. I love this band, amazing combination of musicians.

[bluestripedtiger]

Awesome polyrhythms at 2:10!

[thecarboon]

@bluestripedtiger indeed!

[tambourDOM]

2:10 - 2:20 I really doubt they're changing time signatures. They went into some weird #let or something but I'm sure they didn't "randomly change" the time sig.

[BigBearVids]

@tambourDOM Thats GH for ya..!!

[tambourDOM]

@BigBearVids Hah totally! Him and his dirty drum tricks.

[usmcsdi69]

Kick in the ASS from the 1st chord!

[rmf919]

pft, 2:10 - 2:20 rules! I think people are misunderstanding the point of the song altogether. But that's just me.

[tambourDOM]

@rmf919 Yeah I thought that part was really cool. Too much for some people, maybe?

[Arkayem]

@MyMytalMajesty I thought the same thing. I want to know why bands throw random odd time parts in their songs like that.

I mean take Axernot's random drum solo in Opeth's song Porcelain Heart for example, EPIC fail.

[jgonzaleznicolini]

@Arkayem Mikael specifically asked Axe for "chaos". I don't remember if that's on the "making of Watershed" documentary or on a separate Akerfeldt interview, but that's exactly what Mike wanted, for it to sound random and jumbled. (btw, I don't think it sounds random enough... :)

On a side note: Axe is pretty good, but dammit, Lopez was absolutely effing brilliant.

[muz1kman]

Sounds a little like Stabbing Westward to me, with a much better drummer.

[Kvegotspfein]

@MyMytalMajesty

That is just one awesome win.

[ManolitoMystiq]

@MyMytalMajesty: That's the best part.

[usmcsdi69]

Mike Portnoy was okay on 1 & 2. Gavin Harrison spanks his ass on THREE!!!!!!



[apexpein39]

@usmcsdi69  gavin has class, english genius versus american non symetrical stickman spitter. After his betrayal, I hate mp so much

[Ianuarius85]

Yeah man!!! :D

The start is awesome. :)

[Ytsebadd]

That's a Mellotron sound that is very similar to No Quarter. There also seems to be a bit of Leslie effect applied, which was a cabinet with a spinning speaker.

[caronte3655]

Yeeeaaahhh..!!! Good metal...!!!

[Mebert78]

If you like Kevin Moore, feel free to visit my fan website: The Mooreatorium. Search for it on Google.

[sipemalas]

RAWK !!!

[MobileSpies]

Just found these guys and just pissed I didnt find them sooner. I love shoutcast prog stations.

[mapgoon]

My nuts get bigger everytime I hear this song...YAR!

[sporeprints]

best song ever, i love it, they have so many good ones

[Nickolaars]

Sean Malone wasn't on this one, was he?

[Iakyaa]

Nah, It was just Moore doing vocals/keys, Matheos doing guitar/bass and of course Gavin Harrison. They did have two guest musicians, Akerfeldt on stockholm and someone else who I forget on the bonus disc (which was not on itunes)

[ConcreteTheSecond]

Tim Bowness on No Celebrations.

Nothing interesting... just another masterpiece...

[12ouncebrew]

@Iakyaa That would be Tim Bowness of No-Man. 

[turbulenz]

@Iakyaa it was Tim Bowness of No-Man, on the track "No Celebrations" ;)

[ognibandyrrah]

@Nickolaars ...fuck a duck, i had no idea GH was bashing skins for these guy...epic = mc 2...OSI for president...

[petercussion]

need OSI on tour!!!

[BlackHaz391]

I recently bought the EP. It's extraordinaty, from head to tail. Fantastic!

[RufusaurusDex]

Hmmm... Kinda Sybreed-y, really.

[usmcsdi69]

OSI going from Mike Portnoy to Gavin Harrison was a wash. They are both GREAT drummers and this band stinking rocks!!!!

[grayson75]

yeah I think there's a bit of influence from the drummer, very similar to Porcupine Tree. Without losing OSI's unique style.

Gavin Harrison is friggin a tasty drummer!

[Spotfarm666]

@grayson75 I think this song more than any othr the Porcupine Tree influence comes out. Daymn Gavin is so distinctive in playing, and theres few drumms I cam listen to and say that!

[YoungDrummer92]

OSI is one of a kind. It's like some tracks sound almost like slipknot but then it like turns into electronic sounding. I really think I'm gonna buy this album.
