Energetic and fun Snares action. The most I've enjoyed a Snares album since Cavalcade of Glee


Kid606 - Shout at the Doner
Kidders is back w/ the sass and strut. Awesome, fun, wobbly bass 606 w/ two fingers in the air. (And makes me forget Pretty Girls Make Raves)


Swan Lake - Beast Moans
Still working my way through the 2nd half but the first is epic glam/prog fun.

A++ showing from JD and Vanderslice is even bearable.

Spoils has been the best thing I've heard so far this year. Miles ahead musically and lyrically of his previous mordant folk , it's strange , haunting , literate and occasionally funny.Good tunes too , laced with peculiar churnings and flickerings.

the new GRAF ORLOCK lp-destination time yesterday-just came out, distros/record stores dont really seem to have it yet, but judging off the songs i have heard, i can pretty much guarantee i will like it.

PROPAGANDHI-supporting caste lp - one of my lesser-liked of their albums, its still better than other things ive heard from this year.

RUN WITH THE HUNTED-destroy all calendars ep-biased because i get to see them all of the time, but in this specific genre of sXe HC, its one of the best eps ive heard in the past few years. it doesnt help that that genre is incredibly stagnant...this will probably be my favorite record of this sort until the new MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD comes out.

HATRED SURGE-isolated human ep-first song starts midtempo, then its just 5 songs of face punching by the best grind violence project currently going.

I would have put in the Decemberists new one, because most of it is pretty interesting, but those female vocals just grate on my nerves.

I like it quite a bit. I think they succeeded at what they wanted to do with the last record, which was integrate guitar rock more deeply into their sound. I'm not certain I would like it as much if I weren't already a fan of theirs though.

But oy, I do dislike Shara Worden (one of the singers on the record). I've seen My Brightest Diamond open for the Decemberists and DeVotchKa, and they were equally terrible both times.

Bon Iver - Blood Bank EP. - Not as good as For Emma... but still good stuff.
Chotto Ghetto - Walk is Godlike. - Fun Glassjaw-ey agro-punk.
Dananananakroyd - Hey Everyone! - It's so bouncy.
Death Cab for Cutie - The Open Door EP - "Little Bribes" sounds happy! Happy!
Future of the Left - Last Night I Saved Her From Vampires. - One of the best live bands I've seen doing a decent live album, and the banter is worth the price of the cd on it's own.
DOOM - Born Like This. - I suppose this only really makes it half on to the list. It's good. It's just not as good as I'd hoped.

Death To Analog - Julien-K
but I've been waiting for this record for almost 4 years though. A good mix of new wave, techno, and industrial

Today We Are All Demons - Combichrist
speaking of industrial...some songs have more of a traditional structure to them, but there's still that driving Combi sound.

@GunslayerMonk:
To me the new Depeche Mode sounds a lot like their album Exicter. It's more of the mellow, trance, bluesy sounding DM like Songs of Faith and Devotion than the dancey uptempo of Some Great Reward or even Playing the Angel. I haven't heard the bonus tracks or the demos from the deluxe edition yet though.

Since I have a terrible shift based job with long hours and a child (yeah, I know like lots of you here), I'm soooooooooo out of touch with music. Betweent this and the Weekly Listening thread, I'd still be listening to whatever I bought three years ago.

Also "A Bear - Some of Our Friends are Animals." - Good friends of mine. Damn fine ep. Angular-Experimental-Alterna-Pop in the vein of old Biffy Clyro.
"Kaki King - Mexican Teenagers" - Surprising, nothing at all like the previous album(s), it has grooves and riffs that you wouldn't expect from a tiny acoustic-playing lass, 'tis tres gut.

Am I the only one who didn't like Crack the Skye? It just seemed a little "meh," but each to their own.

Have you heard ...For the Whole World to See by Death (not the Chuck Shuldiner death metal band from Florida)? Holy shit people. It's Detroit proto-punk pre-Stooges.

Ooh, yeah, the Death album was recorded in 1974 by three teenaged brothers. The two songs that were released as a single, "Politicians In My Eyes" and one other, became super-sought-after ...

Anyway, back on topic, I'm really into the Ida Maria album too, and I'm amazed I'm not the first person to bring it up. It's an excellent half-hour blast of garage punk power pop by an exuberant Norwegian girl, who is singing blackly comic lyrics about how socially awkward she is even as the songs themselves have a really upbeat celebratory sound. Fucking outstanding album.

I'm not as into the new Riverboat Gamblers, "Underneath The Owl," as I was into "To The Confusion Of Our Enemies," but it's still pretty good and may grow on me. The sound is a bit poppier than the previous album was, and that one was a bit poppier than the one before. I'm afraid they're going to get to the point where they're really just a pop band and not a punk band anymore, and that's when I think they'll lose me.

Silversun Pickups' new one is indeed awesome, and even as their expanding on their sound a bit, the whole shoegaze/Smashing Pumpkins vibe is still very present and they've lost none of what I liked about their debut. I think they're going in a good direction to have a productive career.

The Japandroids full-length, "Post-Nothing," has a few really good songs and a few that I'm not that stoked about. They're this two-piece band with hazy guitars but propulsive songwriting that is getting props from the Pitchfork crowd. I think their songwriting is pretty inconsistent, which is kind of their downfall.

I'm equally divided on the new Superdrag album, "Industry Giants," but that one gets more of a pass from me because it's their first album in damn near a decade and I'm just excited that they're making records again. There are some great slabs of distorted-guitar power pop on there from John Davis, but he's letting other members of the band write and sing now, and some of those songs are noticeably inferior to his usual standard. I'm all for band democracy in theory, but when a band's main songwriter is obviously more talented than the other members, there's something to be said for purity of vision.

I'm with the few of you that are not that into the new Mastodon. Hell, Mastodon lost me with "Leviathan," though. I miss their heavier sound from the early days.

I'm really excited to hear the new albums from Sonic Youth, Future Of the Left, and Graf Orlock, but at this moment, I still haven't heard any of them, so I don't want to comment.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5645&Focus=150719#Comment_150719 2009-04-30T20:33:52-07:00 2013-05-19T19:40:59-07:00 chainsaw.serenade http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=4906
