Not metal, but better than anything he's put out since the '90s.

Wow, this is... nothing. Again. He probably made compositions better than this before his balls descended.

IIRC some group of black rights activists also conveniently used a picture of this guy claiming Mozart was black. They're probably back to boasting with 'their' invention of peanut butter now.

J.S. Bach, on the other hand, was an Ancient Alien™.

This may just be an easier option: before uploading, rename your .rar/.7z to .dmu/.anus/etc.. I've had a copyrighted album up as .jpg for some time and it isn't marked © by mfire; probably doesn't get crawled.

Try Edgard Grieg instead.

It's more simple and organic.

Possibly a good advice to newcomers, but I suspect that comparing Mahler's symphonies may be comparing apples/oranges as it is, with Grieg offering something entirely different (and, as far as symphonies are concerned, nothing spectacular).

Quote from: Humanicide
Back on track - what's a good work to introduce myself to Mahler?

Aforementioned Symphony 2 'Resurrection'. See Audiofile.

I'm going to give these symphonies a serious (re)listen. When I started exploring classical, I got the impression of defeatism, cynicism and other flaws in later Mahler, and I remember disliking the First for being a rickety bore.

However, I recently heard the 2nd Symphony (Bruno Walter, N.Y.Ph. 1958) and it amazed me. Not unlike Bruckner, but more spacious and broader in emotional scope. More...humanist, yes, but in a sincere, universal way. I doubt I'll get bored with this one quickly.

Not sure if this is discussed already, but availability of uploads may have to do with meta-info databases like Gracenote. Ripping progs consult online databases for track titles, artists, etc. Files on e.g. Mediafire are crawled by bots that consult the database again; if matching metadata for copyrighted albums are found, they take down the file.

I'll upload some and see what happens when I alter metadata or add it myself.
