Chevelle

[R0B75]

I've been listening to some of their stuff recently, and having never really heard of them, I have have to wonder why. I'm very impressed by what I've heard so far, they sound a little like Tool, actually quite a lot in places, which isn't a bad thing at all.

I strongly recommend checking out the album "Wonder Whats Next", superb stuff. I'm listening to their last album "This Type of Thinking Could Do Us In" at the moment and again it's pretty damn good IMO.

Have any of you heard of them? If so, do you rate them at all? If not, check them out, it won't hurt.

Reading up on several reviews including AMG say they do sound like a little like Tool at times, so I guess I'm not wrong.

Their last isn't as good as Wonder Whats Next but still good stuff.

Sorry to drag up a VERY old thread but didn't see the point in making a new one. I have been listening to Chevelle's latest effort "Vena Sera". On first listen I wasn't blown away although it was still very good. Having listened to it a few more times I have to say it's probably their best album by quite along way. No bad songs but the stand out tracks for me are:

Antisaint
Brainiac
Straight Jacket Fashion
The Fad
Humanoid
Paint The Seconds
I Get It

This is the best album I've heard (by anyone) in quite a long time. It puts Linkin Park's recent effort to shame.

Just giving it a listen now actually, track 10 - I Get It is an absolute beauty.

If you like these guys then check out a little known band called Handsome, ex members of Helmet (the kings of this kinda music) and Quicksand, who are also well worth checking out come to think of it.

Enjoy...

I might have to check them out.

I wasn't comparing Chevelle to Linkin Park directly, only that they have both released new albums this year.
