Paul McCartney - Off the Ground

^ Not half bad. Not exactly half good either though. Just a bunch of half-decent songs really, not that I really expected anything more from this.

The Amorphous Androgynous - Alice In Ultraland

^ For album reviewing purposes, not that I ever really need much of an excuse to give this a spin every so often. Spectacular stuff.

Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mining

^ Just been getting reacquainted with another old favourite here. Such a great album this - all the best parts of the Oils rolled into one powerful, melodic and totally memorable package.

Brad Sucks - I Don't Know What I'm Doing

Don't let the band name or album art fool you, this is a surprisingly good album. It's that perfect blend of slow to moderate acoustic simplicity with some decent use of distortion all with a very relaxing trip-hop style drum beat in the background. Lyrically is where the album really excels, at least for me as with something to relate to, the feeling of being lost with what you're doing in your life. If you like Beck then you'll either enjoy this, or find it to be a big rip off.

I listen to black metal all the time but this one just feels more dark and genuine.

Cool, it's free too so that's another bonus. I like what I've heard too, I'm on the second song. Lyrics work pretty well for me trying to figure out just what I want to do with my life. I guess I could see where it might be viewed as a rip off of Beck, but I love Beck and am always happy to find more of the same.

Hum of Life-Dog Faced Hermans

They're supposed to fall in the anarcho/folk punk genre though since I haven't heard they're earlier albums I'll have to assume those earlier works better fit that description as to me this particular album this has a more experimental post-punk sound. I'll definitely have to check out more of their music as I'm really loving this one.

They really only sound alike by voice. Some of their music is similar, but their themes are vastly different.
