Masochist – “History” compilation.
Quality early US black metal which bares quite a bit of similarity to their peers in Profanatica. This compilation contains their entire discography (a few demos and a couple EP’s) as well as live video footage from some shows in the early nineties. Definitely feel like I’ve got my money’s worth here.. |

^ That is the only Rise Against album I don't have and haven't heard. From the songs I've heard, I think they've blended in too much with the mainstream. I'm sure it's still better than many out there, though.

Villain Accelerate - Maid of Gold
Very chill, often dark instrumental hip-hop collab between Sixtoo and Stigg of the Dump (who had also collaborated with Sixtoo and Buck 65 in Sebutones). Great stuff. Mush Records 2003.

XTC - Skylarking First time I got through the whole thing in quite a while and, gotta say, I've been missing out on something pretty awesome. It's somewhere between Mummer and their work as the Dukes Of Stratosphear, and seeing as I myself love that more mellow tangent XTC went on after English Settlement, it's my cuppa tea. Fantastic album, though probably still not among my absolute favourites in their discography though. A few more listens are on the cards I reckon. Plus, it's just got XTC back into my LastFM top 8, which is alright I guess. |

Spoon are capable of writing some truly great songs. I just feel there aren't enough of them, and the rest are mediocre/bland/generic.

A Series of Sneaks contains some of the best Spoon songs, but still. I can't bring myself to rate it higher than 7/10 due to the rest of it. Telephono is almost a bit more enjoyable as a whole because it's more fun and raw, whereas on A Series of Sneaks they started to get more serious and ended up mediocre at times. I'm also not really a fan of the singer's swagger on many of their later albums. That might be why only certain songs stand out as great to me. The ones that sound more honest.

I definitely liked it better when they kept their songs shorter because I think that helped avoid the blandness factor. Now on these newer albums if they miss a couple times it makes up more of the album. Gotta love the simplicity of A Series of Sneaks though...
