You're gonna eat what I give ya, and you're gonna like it real good. 1. A riddle: I went over the river, and into the woods, where did I go? Where a wood buring stream flows up thru the trees, like the soul of the hottest kind of lover I've ever seen: "e" One who lives to choose another fool's dream. A good showerhead and my right hand, the two best lovers that I ever had. Now if you find you agree with what I just said, you'd better find a new love and let 'em into your head |

4. The Beatles "Let It Be"
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...AL._AA240_.jpg This album gets alot of crap and I can understand why but when it's good its really really good. Across the Universe is probably one of the best Beatles sons ever written and aside from some bores on the album like the title track it really does have several great tracks. Favorite Songs: Across the Universe, I Me Mine, For You Blue, Two of Us, I've Got a Feeling 3. Elliott Smith "Figure 8" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...8L._AA240_.jpg Elliott Smith's final album wasn't the big pop album he wanted but it still came close and showed him putting DreamWorks money to good use. It also shows him still bringing out the acoustic guitar and doing very well with it. I just wish there more songs like Junk Bond Trader on it. Favorite Songs: Junk Bond Trader, Happiness/The Gondola Man, Everything Means Nothing To Me, LA, East Way Out, Wouldn't Mama Be Proud? 2. Oasis "Definitely Maybe" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...bL._AA240_.jpg Okay first things first, I really can't get over how much I love Supersonic. From the start it kicks ass, there's that heavy guitar party and then Liam does this Lennon/Lydon like sneer and goes I need to be myseeeeeeeeelfffffffffffff and I just love it and have been listening to that song so much. But anyway, the album itself is good too I've just been raping supersonic in particular. Favorite Songs: Supersonic, Live Forever, Slide Away, Cigarettes and Alcohol, Columbia 1. The Beatles "Rubber Soul" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...6L._AA240_.jpg The album where the Beatles really started to shine but still shows traces of their old days (Drive My Car) except 200 times better than their old days. I've mostly been listening to Nowhere Man, the vocals are beautiful on it. Favorite Songs: In My Life, Nowhere Man, I'm Looking Through You, Wait, Norwegian Wood, Run For Your Life |
Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris
Catchy, Fast Paced. Took me a while to fully get into this but now it's hard to put down. Fav. Tracks: I'm Designer, Make it Wit Chu, Sick Sick Sick. Massive Attack - Mezzanine Very smooth and bassey, sounds like a very sensual pelvic massage. Fav. Tracks: Risingson, Teardrop, Dissolved Girl. Tool - Opiate Much better than some of their recent stuff imo. A very solid EP. Fav. Tracks: Hush, Cold and Ugly Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams Chillaxing album, just love it, nuff said. Fav. Tracks: Crying Shame, If I Could, Constellations |
And Their Name Was Treason - A Day To Remember
****ing loving it. The mixture of hard-hitting post-hardcore riffs and violent vocals with glorious melodies and sweet catchy hooks makes this one of my fave albums possibly ever. Would love to see these guys get a bit bigger, really amazing band. You Should Have Killed Me When You Had The Chance is my fave track. The Blackening - Machine Head The most genius album I've heard this year without a doubt. Machine Head really outdid themselves when they wrote this. Turning themselves from a hard-hitting metal heavyweight to nearly metal gods in my eyes. They can place powerful driving riffs with ridiculously good melodies in one song. A metal masterpiece that I rate 9.5/10. I write this as I sit in my Blackening tshirt:) awesome artwork! Now I Lay Thee Down is by far my fave track. |
Evermore - Dreams
Personally i only like one song off of it, "Its Too Late" that song is truly an amazing song. the beginning to the end. so great. Elliott Smith - New Moon Great acoustics and amazing vocals and talent. i love it. Angel In The Snow is my favorite song on it. |
cracked open Ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars yesterday
stone me how great is that album I'm listening to Sgt pepper and the white album at the moment. I think I'm having a pre 80's week in my house music wise |
I have been on a funk fest recently (as my recent complilations will testify). A mass review for these four:
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s74966.jpg THE POLITICIANS-THE POLITICIANS FEAT.McKINLEY JACKSON http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s14523.jpg OHIO PLAYERS-HONEY http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s33612.jpg THE UNDISPUTED TRUTH-COSMIC TRUTH http://static.rateyourmusic.com/albu...es/s500840.jpg KAY GEES-KEEP ON BUMPIN' AND MASTERPLAN Big as s funk bass lines, blaring horns, wacca wacca guitars and afro's. what more do you want? find 'em get 'em! |
Quote:
Low is my favourite from him, but I'd also recommend getting Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Station to Station, Scary Monsters... the list goes on. Low is one of the greatest albums ever IMO. |
Neutral Milk Hotel "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...GL._AA240_.jpg Every few months I bust out this album and listen to it alot. This one of those times, I can't play it very consistently because when I first heard it I was totally blown away by it and listened to it every day sometimes all day without stopping. Favorite Songs: Holland 1945, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Two Headed Boy Part II, Ghost, King of Carrot Flowers Part I Linda Perhacs "Parallelograms" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...PL._AA240_.jpg An interesting blend of art-rock and freak folk, I love this album to death and keep forgetting just how much. It's a shame she didn't get more notice, definitely one of the unsung heroes of the 70s. Favorite Songs: Hey Now Who Really Cares?, Delicious Paper Mountain Man, Chimacum Rain, Morning Colors The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...aL._AA240_.jpg Jesus I love this album, it's just so happy sounding and upbeat and it's a nice break from the stuff I usually listen to. It always brings up memories of summer though which for some reason depresses me. Your Mother Should Know is probably the track I've been spinning the most off this. Favorite Songs: Your Mother Should Know, Hello Goodbye, Penny Lane, All You Need is Love, Strawberry Fields Forever The Doors "Strange Days" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...2L._AA240_.jpg I forgot how good the Doors were until I randomally felt like listening to them. I was really turned off for awhile because I couldn't stand Jim Morrison, I loved his voice and thought he wrote good lyrics when he wasn't trying too hard to be a "poet" but I thought he was a completely detestable and horrible human being and it just made me feel like not listening to them however I'm listening to them now and goddamn they're good, I really do love Jim's voice, Manzarek is amazing too. Krieger is a great guitarist too, solid band. Favorite Songs: Moonlight Drive, People Are Strange, When the Music's Over, Love Me Two Times, You're Lost Little Girl |
THE FRAMES-FITZCARRALDO
http://www.artistdirect.com/Images/S...94164t2s1m.jpg I have had a track on my hard drive which I really loved and I knew it was from a Trevor Horn compilation album, but the track had no info. After listening to the track again I decided to do some digging. I found the artist and then the album. I was so glad I did. The Frames are a great Irish band who seemed to have slipped under the radar. Their music is a sort of emotional pop/rock with a beautifully subtle violin on most of their tracks. Although it is not the most original music ever, it is utterly sincere. very impressed. MACHINE HEAD-THE BLACKENING http://www.chochitopelao.com/imagene...ne_head_02.jpg One of last years best metal albums and a great return to form from Machine Head. Unashamedly retro and staying true to their thrash roots. This has everything you want from a metal album. Chunky riffs, a bit of speed and decent production. BURNING SPEAR-MARCUS GARVEY http://www.globalphatness.com/pictur...ng%20Spear.jpg If your only taste of reggae is Bob Marley and you want to go further, then this classic 70's roots album is a great place to start. Focusing on the life of Marcus Garvey, who was a highly influential and revered Jamacian who began a movement to claim Africa back from the colonials, this is a rich and well produced reggae album that is something of a classic in the Reggae world. TANK-THIS MEANS WAR http://img.mp3sugar.com/album/cover3659_22699.jpg I was in the mood for some NWOBHM,so i listened to one of my favourites from that era. They definitely ripped off Motorhead, but ever since hearing the brilliant opening track JUST LIKE SOMETHING FROM HELL way back when, I have been hooked. Good solid British 80's metal |
K'Naan- The Dusty Foot Philosopher
I just can't get bored with this album. Original, catchy beats, witha lot of acoustic guitar and african drums. Intelligent lyrics and fluent delivery. A truly unique hip-hop album. Kaizer's Orchestra- Maestro An energetic gypsy rock album out of Norway, with influences all over the map, from funk to old timey rock n' roll. Not easily forgettable. |
DOGS D'AMOUR-STRAIGHT
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s45104.jpg Although they looked like your typical glam band. The DOGS played blues rock skewed through the Stones and the Faces. Their lyrics were more like poems and owed a lot to Charles Bukowski. A band so steeped in booze the album drips with it. MICE PARADE-OBRIGADO SAUDADE http://fat-cat.co.uk/fatcat/packshots/325/96_194.jpg Consider them a cousin to Carissas Wierd, as they walk along the same lines of downtempo indie electronica ,but with a slight experimental side to them. Haunting, soothing and beguiling. I have converted Crowquill so that should be a good indicator! TANGERINE DREAM-PHAEDRA http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/images/TD-Phae.jpg One of the finest Electronic albums from the 70's and one of TD's best releases. Dreamy, icy, hypnotic and their most cohesive work at the time. THE MISFITS-WALK AMONG US http://www.the7thhouse.com/dm138_sdwau.jpg Classic Punk from the one and only Misfits. Say no more really! |

The Magnetic Fields "69 Love Songs"
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...DL._AA240_.jpg I just got this a few days ago and it really hasn't left my stereo. All three albums are solid and beautiful and All My Little Words is my favorite song right now. At times its like an upbeat Joy Division at other times lo-fi folk beauty. Favorite Songs: All My Little Words, I Think I Need A New Heart, Absolutely Cuckoo, The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side, I Don't Want to Get Over You, Promises of Eternity Elliott Smith "XO" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...HL._AA240_.jpg This album is so beautiful and so is Elliott Smith. I have trouble expressing just how much his music means to me and it always feels like I fall short when I try to so I won't try to right here. Favorite Songs: Pitseleh, Waltz #1, I Didn't Understand, Waltz #2 (XO), Tomorrow Tomorrow, Baby Britain, Independence Day The Good Life "Help Wanted Nights" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...VL._AA240_.jpg Tim Kasher is a brilliant lyricist and I'm steadily starting to like The Good Life better than Cursive. This album is like he sat there at the end of my relationship and took notes and then wrote an album about it, that sounds cliche but to me it's beautiful. Favorite Songs: Heartbroke, Keely Aimee, Some Tragedy, So Let Go, You Don't Feel Like Home to Me Bright Eyes "Fevers & Mirrors" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...2L._AA240_.jpg This is the album that was responsible for shifting my tastes the most in 05 and it was also my favorite Bright Eyes album for a very long time. Conor's lyrics here are the best they've ever been and some of the best that have ever been. Favorite Songs: The Calendar Hung Itself, Something Vague, Haligh Haligh A Lie Haligh, The Movement of a Hand, The Center of the World |
George Michael - Patience
I cant be the only who appreciates the later albums of George Michael, surely? The standard of songwriting & production is high throughout all 14 songs, mix that with the fact that George has an incredible voice which does nothing but mature with age and you have yourself a fantastic pop record, quite ahead of it's time. Favourite songs : Amazing, Cars & Trains, My Mother Had A Brother. |
I haven't been able to stop listening to these two albums for about two weeks.
Hot Cross - Risk Revival I love this album it has that hardcore feel with screamo lyrics and the guitar sounds soo good. It reminds me a lot of The Fall of Troy just because of the guitar work. It is different from their other albums vocally but I love it so much. Million Dead - Harmony No Harmony Love this album. Not really sure what it is. I love his vocals and the lyrics are just seem so down to earth. I like that fact that he doesn't always sound like he is trying to speak in codes with his lyrics. The songs are a lot different throughout the whole album from a melodic slow song to a hardcore smash you in the face songs. I love it. (Thanks to Crowquill for putting up a compilation of them.) |
That Million Dead album is killer, Frank Turner (the singer) has some nice solo stuff he's doing recently. It's acoustic kind of like Billy Braggish. MySpace.com - Frank Turner - UK - Folk / Punk / Country - www.myspace.com/frankturner

KING CURTIS-LIVE AT FILLMORE WEST
http://3.music.bigpond-images.com/im...nus-Tracks.jpg Superb live Jazz album from 1971, with hints of Funk and Soul. This baby has taken a long time for me to track down. Originally I only wanted the cover of A WHITER SHADE OF PALE, but upon acquiring the whole album, I have fell hook , line and sinker for it. REVEREND AND THE MAKERS-THE STATE OF THINGS http://www.towerrecords.ie/redImages/large/646740.jpg An album that I have no right to liking. A cross between !!! and Arctic Monkeys is the best desciption, but it is just so catchy! Perfect for work. Of Montreal-Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51IRh7DUUbL.jpg This is a definite grower and I can see myself going back to this frequently. TOOL-LATERALUS http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...V53938857_.jpg Yeah I have only just discovered this. How behind the times am I? It get's better every time I hear it. Maybe a lack of knowledge and fan baggage has helped my opinion remaining neutral. |
Am seriously digging on some 10 Ft. Ganja Plant thanks to Jackhammer reminding me of how utterly fantastic they are!!!!!

Swervedriver - Mezcal Head
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...MezcalHead.jpg Even though my love for Slowdive dwarfs the attention I give similar bands (even MBV), I really can't believe it's taken me so long to listen to these guys. The more pop-song orientated side of shoegaze, but I love it nevertheless. Antipop Consortium - Arrhythmia http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/2465/8562eg3.jpg Anyone looking to get into experimental hip-hop should definitely get this album. Only found out a few weeks ago that they were getting back together so I dug around my CDs to re-discover this gem! Stars of the Lid - The Tired Sounds of... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...iredsounds.jpg The perfect representation of the term 'beautiful minimalism,' in that are no drums or vocals (but the odd sample here and there) and the melody is mainly based on the gentle swells and falls in the music. Deathspell Omega - Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/136539.jpg An essential black metal record. 'Nuff said. |
There's Nothing Wrong With Love by Built to Spill
Keep It Like A Secret by Built to Spill both are amazing albums by a very underrated band. |
The new Teenage Bottlerocket is giving me a boner, you really can't go wrong with good Ramones-core. Great hooks and catchy lyrics: The most fun I can have in 30 minutes with my pants on

Aenima - Tool

STARS OF THE LID-TIRED SOUNDS OF
http://jonnyopinion.files.wordpress....3/ttsosotl.jpg This album was featured very recently by another member. It deserves another big up. Minimalism has never sounded so complete. BURIAL-UNTRUE http://www.intenserecords.co.uk/imag...ntruecover.gif Dark hypnotic beats complimented by luscious vocals. An absolute grower. Never has a drum machine sounded so important since Massive Attack. ORANGE BLOSSOM-EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE http://www.nrw-records.eu/nrw2034_Orange.jpeg Around the world in 80 days would be more succinct. A mash up of Asian, Jamacian and Brtitish influences creates a cohesive listen. Dance music rarely sounds this intelligent. OVERKILL-FEEL THE FIRE http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/4441/overkill4jj.jpg Classic 80's Speed/Thrash metal from one it's founding members. Don't knock it until you have tried. Surprisingly still stands up with solid production values and killer riffs. |
Right now I really like The Cake Sale album. I got it yesterday from the bands management to make some review and I got to say it's simply briliant!
|
FRANK ZAPPA-ONE SIZE FITS ALL
http://www.beefheart.com/datharp/alb...cs/onesize.jpg There is some amazing stuff going on in this album and it features one of Zappa's best line up's. INCA ROADS and FLORENTINE POGEN are standouts. Awesome guitar work, Whacked out rythmn parts and trademark witty vocals combine for another superlative Zappa release. THE DOORS-OTHER VOICES http://pixhost.eu/avaxhome/avaxhome/...rvoicesip3.jpg The first album post Morrison and you have to question why they carried on without him without a change of band name. The reason why I say this is because there are some genuinely great moments on this album proving that there were good songwriters to stand up on their own, although it starts to run out of ideas towards the end. BOB DYLAN-HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED http://www.draglist.com/artman/uploads/wheel_04.jpg I am not a huge Dylan fan and I feel slightly embarassed that my favourite album of his is the album a lot of other people choose as well. I'm not following a crowd honestly! From the opening snare drop of LIKE A ROLLING STONE through the sublime blues crawl of BALLAD OF A THIN MAN, it's a perfect representation of the angry young Dylan. FREESTYLERS-ADVENTURES IN FREESTYLE http://www.plong.com/MusicCatalog%5C...0Freestyle.jpg One of my favourite dance duos who take in all styles from breakbeat to reggae, drum and bass to techno pounders. Always working with unknown vocalists lends ther music more authenticity than a lot of mainstream dance duos, yet there music sounds exceellent played loud and always remains fun, fun, fun! |
