List threads have grown popular here and have generated a lot of good discussion and content. Most removed posts can be resubmitted successfully by making the topic more discussion oriented. "DAE" posts invite yes/no answers and do not stimulate discussion! If your contribution has been deleted and you feel peeved, feel free to let us know. Threads like "I like band x, do you?" or "Help me get into band y" don't belong here. Posts should include in-depth questions and analytical opinions. New topics must aim to start a discussion. Trivial and uninteresting threads may be deleted. Try to engage in intriguing conversation. A comment should always further the discussion in some way, whether it be through adding onto the original post, contributing new information, offering an opposing viewpoint, etc. Back up your opinions with details and examples. All top level comments must be longer than simply a sentence or two, barring questions and some exceptions.

With undertones of artists like Swans, Joy Division, Throbbing Gristle, and Cold Cave (not to mention a good dose of Scandinavian black metal), The Unnatural World somehow perseveres in injecting a frightening beauty into the mix, from the bleakest drones in songs like “Guggenheim Wax Museum” to the crust-wrapped beats of the majestic “Burial Society” and the Ian Curtis–haunted “Defenestration Song.” (“Walked in Line” seeps all the way through that tune.) Pretty much all seven minutes of “Cropsey” are unsettling, from the snippets of an interview with a young resident of a notorious mental institution to the sudden shift into stifling layers of metallic, thunderous murk and muffled spoken word.Comments must meet a general standard of quality determined by the moderators. Tim Macuga and Dan Barrett (also of the space-noise outfit Giles Corey) comprise Have a Nice Life. Have a Nice Life make music that's exceedingly gloomy and austere.
