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..

Very well-done pop punk.
I really like that album, I love The Sufferer and The Witness though.

^ 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.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

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-Girls Can Tell
Tremendous work,really surprised this lot had an album this clever in them and that I'd heard so little about them.

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...
