I Would Set Myself On Fire For You- Believes In Patterns

A fascinating listen, a different style of screamo that keeps me entertained with all it's different instruments and structures. Plus I love the male/female vocals.

Animals As Leaders - S/T

A fantastic, mind-blowing instrumental album. Tosin Abasi is a genius.

When the vocals come in on "Twelve", I always get shivers. Great album.

Massive Attack - Mezzanine

I've slowly grown to consider this album a full-blown masterpiece. I used to lose interest by the first "Exchange" had worn off, but I've slowly been building up the balls to tackle such an amazing album in its entirety. Trip-hop has always been a breeding ground for various styles but the way this can blend soul, jazz, hard rock, and pure electronic together is just not fair to anybody else. Top that all off with the fact that this album is thickly coated with the darkest, most brooding textures imaginable and you have trip-hop's swansong.

The vocals... Oh my God the vocals. Elizabeth's Fraser's performances on "Teardrop" and "Black Milk" are both out of this world, as are Andy Horace's on "Man Next Door", "(Exchange)" and "Angel". 3D's whispering effect on "Mezzanine" and "Inertia Creeps"... They all perfectly tie into the mood and emotion in each song. Getting lost in these songs is incredibly easy, but seriously analyzing them for their musical merit is also not a hard task.

What really sealed the deal was hearing it through a good pair of Sennheisers. The quality headphones along with the musical texture that is almost made specially for headphones just made it that much better.

Right now, for me, it's all about Crowded House's new one, Intriguer.... brilliant piece of Neil Finn songwriting that it is! Also found a bit of love for the last Regurgitator album yesterday, Love and Paranoia.

This is the one I have been listening to the most lately

Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy

Malory - The Third Face

Some really catchy and slickly produced shoegaze. Most songs are sung with both male and female vocals that tend to trade off just as much as they harmonize. It's really great stuff.

...my favourite Ozzy Album

Was that album named after the baby shampoo?

LOL!!! Very funny indeed! Iwonder if Johnson and Johnson took out a patent suit against him for that one...

It's still about Crowded House for me this week.... it's soothing my "good cellphone ruined in an instant" nerves this week... :-)
