Jorm, even tho you never post here anymore, it's cool to see you were dropping this 2 years ago. It's amusing to me how everyone is jerking off to them this year out of nowhere.

Not really out of nowhere. Their debut album came out this year. People pay more attention to albums than demos. But yeah, props to Jorm. He's always been a cool guy.
I know it's a crime to check out underground stuff, but their demo (from what I've always gathered) was pretty popular. I agree 100% with the people pay more attention to albums than demos, but in the 4-5 years since they released the demo, they seemed to be gathering a name for themselves already.
I wanna say I found out about them thru Arthur from Cormorant several years ago on Last Fm.

"you just didn't see bands like this before 'vulgar display'. pantera were the first band to really harness the solidarity/strength message of hardcore with the heaviness of metal. the thrash bands took the speed and fury of punk, but still had a lot of demons and sorcery in the lyrics. the crossover bands like d.r.i. weren't all that heavy, but had some of the metal structures and guitar solos. imo, pantera was a sea change for both genres. nowadays, every hardcore band shouts and roars while a legion of metal bands tuned down and bought randall amps. it's because pantera got it so, so right on this album. sacred reich, corrosion of conformity, sepultura and helmet immediately gained tons of relevancy in the wake of 'vulgar'. they pretty much birthed the ozzfest generation." - SO fucking true....especially the last sentence.
I don't see how an album can have such a profound impact on your life that it changes it a lot...maybe one album but not 5 whole ones.
If i had to pick one it would probably be Lateralus just for the fact that it changed the way i looked at the world...made me want to think outside the box more....question things a lot more

I can't think of any albums that have changed my life, I took it as changing my views of music.
In Britt's defense (but mainly on the subject in general), some albums by bands like Manson and Slipknot that I listened to in high school and shit blew my mind in part due to the lyrics. Looking back on those, they were pretty good, but really nothing special... but they made me pay attention to lyrics more as well. That's a big reason why I appreciate The Haunted, Tool, Nachtmystium, etc over just regular highschoolcore mallrat metal.
Before I heard that Mudvayne album, I was into poppunk, like Mest and Goldfinger and Good Charlotte. It made me realize that there is more to a song than just being catchy.
Smash Mouth - Astro Lounge: First album ever. Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil: Before this I was strictly rap unless I was listening to our local classic rock radio station Iron Maiden - Death on the Road: A) Started my love of Iron Maiden. Started my love of live cd's. The Killers - Hot Fuss: Not much to say here. Great album, I like Sam's Town better this Hot Fuss came first. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium: Looking for a fifth I came up with this...just by saying it like that I feel like I can hardly call it a life changer. Still, one of first albums I bought when I really started listening to music a lot...and I listened to this thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
