Sounds like it's a real mess. Everything on the steam forums relating to it is a negative. Going to wait a while, to see how it plays out before wasting 2gb.

Thanks for the heads-up, I probably would've never known about it otherwise. Probably won't get much playtime out of it, but hey... it's free.

Ain't nobody going to give no damn 100 replies because you demanded it Do you believe in miracles? Well I do. It's still real to me, dammit.

No! I LOOOOOOOVE Meshuggah, but I don't know how to unlock that love! New Millenium Cyanide Christ has done amazing things to me, but I need to find the songs that will lead me into them. Think of them like stepping-stones. Where do I go from NMCC? Future Breed Machine, Straws Pulled At Random and Bleed seem like the most obvious ones, but they're just outside the line.

I desperately want to get into Meshuggah. I've listened to New Millenium Cyanide Christ a million times and it's such a perfect song for one of those damn angry, young, testosterone-fueled men. (Y) But every other song by the band is literally the same chords again and again and again and again and again and again and again... I can't find another song like it. Anyone listen to the band and can give me a stepping stone to the rest of the songs? Oh, and I'm also listening to Gojira.

I love this pointless stuff. Making lists. Checking twice. Wasting people's valuable time with pointless additions ie. reasons, that they won't even read. Metallica 1 - Enter Sandman 2 - Seek And Destroy 3 - For Whom The Bell Tolls 4 - One 5 - Master Of Puppets 6 - Dyers Eve It begins with the classic 'Sandman', because you need to grab attention at once. It's worn out it's welcome with me, but hey - it has a job to do. Seek and Destroy comes next; it's a simple song; not going to scare a casual listener away, but cool enough that it can lead into the old stuff. Bellz has that heavy/melodic sound that serves as an intro to One. If you're not hooked by now you probably won't be. For those that stick around, Puppets kicks your ass before you get pulverized by Dyers Eve, the ultimate. Megadeth 1 - Symphony of Destruction 2 - Peace Sells 3 - Holy Wars 4 - In My Darkest Hour 5 - Hangar 18 6 - Sweating Bullets I don't want to do the old Metallica vs Megadeth bullshit, but like 'Tallica, Symphony serves to let the casual metalhead in. 'Deth always do Symphony/Peace/Holy as the final three, so it only made sense to start with them in order. Darkest Hour brings it to more of a melodic note after the fury of Holy Wars, before going back into the thrashy solo + solo + solo + solo of Hangar 18, before finally ending with Sweating Bullets which HAS to leave a good taste in your mouth. Even if it's just for the absurdity of the lyrics and the way Mustaine sings, you're going to want to hear it again. After that, you'll listen to another one again... and then you might be stuck. Machine Head 1 - Imperium 2 - Halo 3 - Old 4 - Ten Ton Hammer 5 - Descend the Shades of Night 6 - Davidian The first note of Imperium grabs you. It might not grab people immediately, but at least ze interest iz piqued. Straight after that it's the casual-friendly Halo, which was the song that got me listening. From there, I wouldn't want to scare 'em away with a heavy number, but they need to get used to it (I mean it's frickin' 6 songs) and so would throw in Old. Turn the knob up a bit with Hammer, before the more relaxed, though emotional Descend the Shades of night. And finally their usual set-ender, Davidian. Mastodon 1 - Sleeping Giant 2 - The Wolf Is Loose 3 - Colony of Birchmen 4 - Mother Puncher 5 - Iron Tusk 6 - Blood and Thunder As soon as I heard Sleeping Giant, it became one of my all-time favourites. With it, the band. Like Muse's 'Apocalypse Now', Giant works as a fantastic opening song. Unfortunately it has a disappointing end, which is why Wolf is Loose is there to pick the attention back up, with it's psycho drumming at the start (and it's not a bad song to boot.) Birchmen brings it back to the 'safe' category, before randomly throwing Mother Puncher in. If they're still listening after that one, they deserve to listen to the band. If not, screw 'em. Iron Tusk serves up a bit more of the roughness, before ending with Blood and Thunder, because it's easy to follow but doesn't have any less of the Mastodon flavour. Pearl Jam 1 - Jeremy 2 - Evenflow 3 - Alive 4 - Black 5 - Better Man 6 - Do The Evolution Look, I'm straight but I might let Eddie Vedder put it in me. If he sings Given to Fly before he does, I'd lie there and take it all. Anyway... erm, I don't want to get the ol' sausage so it's omitted from here. After Jeremy, which they played live at... an MTV music award show I want to say, which you need to youtube, we bust out the PJ classic Evenflow, in case people don't know who this amazing band is. From there, I'd put in Alive (because people love it and it needs to be on this list) and Black (to make people depressed) before throwing Better Man in to crush them. Depending on how open you are to receiving music at the time, you either 'get' it, or you don't. For those still unsure, Do The Evolution it thrown in there because, like with Megadeth's 'Sweating Bullets', you'll at least be forced to listen to it again and it will hopefully lead to buying the entire discography.

Looking to get back into EWR after a tremendous amount of time away, so extremely grateful to see people still keeping up with the stat updates. I bet Ryland didn't expect such an extended following.

Gradient Splatter and Steel Grunge are brilliant. Really, really brilliant. I demand 100 more replies to this thread.

I know about 1% of the bands on other people's lists. Jayzon has the right idea. 1: Metallica 2: Pearl Jam 3: Megadeth 4: Red Hot Chili Peppers 5: Machine Head 6: Tenacious D 7: Dream Theater 8: Mastodon 9: Iron Maiden 10: Rage Against The Machine 11: Opeth 12: Slayer 13: Pantera 14: Guns 'N' Roses 15: Black Sabbath
