Haha, I felt like it needed some Ska.
Then again, that's how my listening went yesterday.
First I was listening to The Moon Invaders, some modern traditional ska band, and then after I listened to Dillinger Escape Plan, a very chaotic Mathcore band. It's quite the contrast xD. Right now I'm listening to Faith No More.
I'm liking the variety of the thread, definitely going to listen to some of these albums when I need new music to listen to. At the moment I have other priorities.
But uuhm, after telling about my favourite modern traditional ska album, I also want to post my favourite third wave ska album here:
40. Streetlight Manifesto - The Hands That Thieve.
My favourite Ska pop Punk/Third Wave album of..well, All time, turns out to..Not really be a Ska Album at all. It does sound like a Streetlight Manifesto Album, but there's rarely any ska offbeats to be found on the entire thing. It's weird how it's so different yet so Streetlight Manifesto at the same time. I've heard european folk music was one of his influences on this one. There has been plenty of moments where tomas kalnoky sang off key on the studio album in the past, but now here his singing is a bit better, but that's probably the production. I like how they used more instruments than they usually do. The songs all sound different/distinct enough, And this album has a unique sound to it, at least I think so. I do kinda miss the really happy, fast ska punk songs sometimes. But you know, this is an example of good change, of natural progression. Oh, and I think the lyrics have improved a lot over the other albums.
I didn't like the album the first time I listened to it(I just forgot what I listened to) but it really grew on me.
I don't know, it might not appeal to everyone, but just give it a try. it might not be special to others, but this album holds emotional value to me. It has helped me a lot whenever I felt sad, along with the pop/pop punk album ''The Greatest Generation'' By the Wonder Years.
Are there any rules on how many albums I'm allowed to post total? xP
