I gave Cynic's latest release Traced In Air another spin, the guitar work is definately improved as well as the vocals

Great album.

Decided to Dig up Mellon Collie by the Pumpkins tonight, got some time on my hands for some extended listening.... I always seem to gravitate to this album around fall, I dunno, I think its the overall mood of the album, the fact thaat I first heard it around this time of the year... anyways, to my ears it sounds as great as ever!

smashing pumpkins in general sound really dated and bland to me lately.

They never seem to get old to me... I do think they're getting quite a backlash against though... I guess that happens when you ride the crest of a wave for nearly a decade....

They are one of my top tier favorite bands so I still enjoy them no matter what... still kinda pissed that Billy isn't into making albums anymore... they were always more of an album kinda band IMO

I'm really digging the new Green Day, 21st Century Breakdown. Especially "Peacemaker" and "21 Guns."

I haven't heard as much about 21st Century Breakdown as I did about American Idiot... I guess I could listen to it once and make my own mind up about it, I bought it for my step son, and he seems to love it...

Right now I am seriously enjoying Hospice by the Antlers, great mellow, emotional, atmospheric, kind of post-rock.

I am equally enjoying some mellowness in rock right now... the first Augie March album, Sunset Studies... a brilliant, sprawling piec e steeped in historic sounds, lyrical concepts... dreamy soundscapes... a completely wonderful musical experience, made better by the high quality headphones I'm listening through.....
