High on Fire - Snakes for the Divine

I wasn't even aware they had a new album out till yesterday. I'm still trying to decide if it's as good as Surrounded by Thieves.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_coFoAhVunL...ent+Damage.jpg

Because I felt like it.

And why not? That's a great album, probably their best. And I say probably because I've never heard Power but I have a feeling I wouldn't like it nearly as much as this one.

Going back to the basics:

Peeping Tom - Peeping Tom (2006)

A pop-rock/trip-hop musical project by Mike Patton; wonderfully reminiscent of early Faith No More or Mr. Bungle circa California while still trying out all sorts of awesome things. Features collaborations with Massive Attack, Norah Jones, Amon Tobin, Dan The Automator and numerous others.

Discipline - Push and Profit (1993)

Alt. rock meets progressive rock in on this 90's classic, featuring some of the best bass/drum interplay this side of Jupiter. Nice vocals too. Took me forever to find a good copy of this!

The Q4 - Sound Surroundings (2010)

Saw this intriguing jazz/trip-hopper mentioned a couple of times, so tracked it down for myself. Needless to say, it's full of hot gravy and beyond awesome.

Most recejnt download... Scratch My Back by Peter Gabriel... God damn, this may only be a covers album but its ****ing amazing... it's stripped back, stark but ultimately warm sound (strings only with vocals) really find the hear and soul of the songs Gabriel is interpreting and they just feel so emotionally resonant...

I can tell I am going to absolutely love this album...

Madlib's first release under his own name, the brief "Madlib Invazion EP" features a few rough beats with various Lootpack associates rhyming over them. Pretty decent stuff, copped it for a five spot.

I just picked this up too. I haven't unpacked it yet, but I can't wait to hear it.

May I have a link?

I honestly don't see any similarities at all between Peeping Tom and early FNM but I agree that it's a pretty good album. Makes me want to give it a spin since I haven't listened to it in quite a while.

check your pm box yo.

DARK FOREST - Aurora Borealis cd

Not anything spectacular or too groundbreaking but a solid first album by these Canadian Heathen metallers and about what I was expecting really. Definitely is worth a listen for those who enjoy Moonsorrow, Bathory, Summoning and the like.

The Capricorns - River, Bear Your Bones

goddamnit, why do people persist in just posting covers and album names? what good does that do anyone?

write something about the album for ****'s sake. post a video or two. this is musicBANTER, not show-off-your-lastest-album-art-download.com

In defense, a lot of people, myself included, post their newly acquired albums before having a good chance to really feel them out. The "Albums you're Digging" Is more or less the thread where we go into greater detail about the stuff we find that we actually like.

understood, but i remain irritated.

Noted.

well hell i guess i should contribute something useful now...

I Monster - These Are Our Children
very odd electro-pop. a lot more mellow than their other two albums. i dig.

Soul Coughing - Sugar Free Jazz (Single)
it took me a very long time to find this one. it's better than i even imagined. love this track already, and the remixes are all excellent.

Costanza - ZerOKilled EP
really, really, really good trip hop. she did vocals on Tricky's album Vulnerable.

I'm typically not a fan of politically driven rap, but this is done in a more fun, non-threatening way that's not bad at all. I don't know if I could handle listening to it consistently, but maybe if there was an instrumental version...

And I also got this:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA240_.jpg
A 2009 release from Ugly Duckling that I didn't even realize existed.

Agreed and agreed...I just put it on my "load to ipod" list as it's been a while for me too.

Same here, I post as they are acquired and if it's something I've never heard, I may not have anything to say yet. BUT!!! I share noise's frustration at the complete lack of any text in a post...at least post the artist and album name in plain text so we don't have to guess what it is (plus sometimes images don't show up from certain sources). And images are not searchable...if you include the text in your post at least people can find mention of bands/albums in their search results.

That can be pretty frustrating. I know that I will on occasion just post the album cover when I can't be arsed to type (yes, I definitely have more and moe of those moments lately), but only when the Artist and title are clearly displayed on the album cover. Sometimes if you quote the post where the unidentifiable album is posted you can get a clue to the title in the URL. It beats asking and having to wait for a response to figure out what the **** they're posting.

If I post anything in here I at least try to make an effort to say what I've heard about it or what I expect to hear in it.

This is the only Dillinger Escape Plan release I haven't heard yet, so I'm on it. I'm planning to revisit every DEP release in preparation for Option Paralysis.

Yeah I definitely check the file URL before asking, it's just annoying. We're not here to be cryptic with each other. :p:

I'm sorry my posting skills leave your panties in a twist. I'm listening to the albums right now. If you have a problem with it, maybe you should have PMed me and asked me about it. Shit, maybe you should have quoted me and asked me about it. Unnecessarily bitching about it solves nothing. There are other reasons to why this thread is beneficial aside from informing people what you've bought/downloaded, what you think of it, and as you so astutely observed, "showing off your latest album art download". Albeit the copious counts of posts that don't elaborate on the albums, much conversation has stemmed from them. If you think you're going to make someone's day because you've obligatorily punched out a few words, then maybe you should direct your irate faultfinding inward.

Here's me, desperately yearning for your approval:

Moon D))) - Radiations of the Moon

I've yet to listen to this album, but was stoked to find it on a fellow MBer's blog

http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...22886i3p9d.jpg

The Capricorns - River, Bear Your Bones

I just finished listen to this, and I absolutely love it. It was heavier than I thought. It's instrumental post-rock. A bit similar to Tides, if you've ever heard of them. If you'd like a listen, hit me up.

LadyLuck by Maria Taylor

Actually it does do some good.
But it only works if you have any interest in the tastes of your fellow MB members. For instance, I know that if sidewinder posts only an album cover then I may want to check out the album based on the fact that, based on past MB experience, I already know that there is a good chance I will like it.
However, in the case of you, noise, I have clicked on so many video links that you have posted along with a stellar write-up that I now know that I will be extremely bored in about 30 seconds if I do that again (you make it sound so good but I just don't like the neo-classical female vocals thing) so I won't - let alone seek out an album.
So there's two examples (posts by you and sidewinder) in which only an album cover, title, and band name would be sufficient for me to decide whether to pay attention to any text or links.

oh, and to contribute: I recently got Plastic Beach by Gorillaz. It's a new album by a well-known artist and I don't really like it at all.

Most derivative band name ever?

Why didn't I listen to him sooner...

Waking the Fallen by Avenged Sevenfold. Quality stuff now that i can afford it

I'm curious to see why people would dislike / like thew Gorillaz, so by all means if you bought it and don't like it, please elaborate! I am quite nosey / curious about it

Sarcastic question or do you really want to know?

'Twas rhetorical. :D

it's sample-riffic!

Well I didn't buy it - but I did fully intend to until I heard it.
It just sounds a lot more lackluster than anything previous. I can't pinpoint it yet but it seems like the Gorillaz experiment simply failed this time - in several ways. Albarn tries to rap at one point and it's kind of embarrassing. They even got Lou Reed to guest but I'd rather just hear a new Lou Reed song because the production on Plastic Beach doesn't do much for him. In fact, it doesn't help that Gorillaz have relaxed into a kind of semi-bouncy signature sound with a lot of very similar melodies on this album. When they do break out of that they end up sounding vaguely like a pale version of Blur. That's my initial take anyway. And just so you know where I'm coming from - I like both of their previous albums quite a bit.
