Happy Hollow - Cursive

I actually got all excited yesterday because I actually found a copy of this album at a music store, and I had been looking everywhere for one. I hadn't listened to this album in the longest time, so it was rather nice to find and re-hear it.
Favorite Tracks: Dorthy Dreams Of Tornadoes, and Dorthy At Forty

and

Ágætis byrjun - Sigur Rose

I just got this one, and loved it first listen, its seems really cool

Man Man- Rabbit Habits

I've been listening to this album non-stop since it leaked, it's fabulous!!! I think the reason I like it so much is because Man Man are so different, they can't be compared to anyone else, they're their own thing. And god damnit they're reallr really good at it. Bah, words can't really describe it, it's just amazing.

LOOP-A GILDED ETERNITY

The last and best of Loops three album releases. There has been a mini Loop revival on these boards and I have loved this shoegaze classic ever since it came out. Still sounds fresh.

BON IVER-FOR EMMA, FOREVER AGO

Beautiful and heartfelt acoustic album. I can say no more really. Just listen to it!

GOREROTTED-ONLY TOOLS AND CORPSES

Well lets go to my flipside with some grindcore metal. With song titles like :Hacked In The Back And Dumped In A Sack and Her Gash I Did Slash, you can tell what sort of thing you are getting. Very good production too.

UNDERWORLD-DUBNOBASSWITHMYHEADMAN

The album that was played constantly on the set of the film Trainspotting belies it's mid 90's roots and still sounds refreshing today. An Electronica ambient classic.

Just captures the Flag in all their visceral, brooding glory. ALOT clearer than 'Live 1984' .
Highlight: Rollins losing it at the end of 'My War': 'Annihilate! YES!! Destroy!! I AM THE DISCIPLINE!!!'

Owe this one to Cardboard, probably my favourite Zappa album. The start of the Zappa mythos for me.
Highlight: Tough, as these 60's Zappa albums are like a more like a series of ingenious moments... 'Be a joik, go to woik', the cut-and-paste of 'Brown Shoes Don't Make It'.

I love this album because it's something of a throw back to 80's/90's metal. Apparently, all the members are quite young, but they definitely have talent. I'm just in awe and impressed by the vocals and guitar.

Bob Dylan's latest, and its actually quite good! Has a very Nashville/alt-country feel to it. Its good to know that Bob can still put out a good album.

Time Out of Mind and Love and Theft weren't so bad.

SATCHMO · 03-24-2008, 01:17 AM

Time out of mind was great, but a little over-produced. Idon't think I've heard Love and Theft.

It's nothing spectacular but I guess compared to some of the albums he released in the 80s it was. It's kind of a typical post-70s Dylan album. Anyway here's the definitive list of Bob Dylan albums in order of awesomeness.

2. Blonde on Blonde
3. Desire
4. New Morning
5. Highway 61 Revisited
6. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
7. Bringing It All Back Home
8. John Wesley Harding
9. Another Side of Bob Dylan
10. The Times They Are A-Changin'
11. Nashville Skyline
12. Time Out of Mind
13. Bob Dylan
14. Oh Mercy
15. Street Legal
16. Planet Waves
17. Slow Train Coming
18. Love and Theft
19. Modern Times
20. Good As I Been to You
21. Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
22. Shot of Love
22. Infidels
23. Saved
24. World Gone Wrong
25. The Basement Tapes

the progression of Silverchair is grabbing my attention at the moment. I was never into them when I was younger, and as much as I love some bare-bones, grungy, smelly, adolescent angst, Diorama is the way forward. String sections, spine tingling choruses, Australians. Apparently their new one is a corker too. Silverchair have a comical inability to write lyrics though...

Also a mate gave me the new Silver Jews album, Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea, which is fookin top.
