Albums You're Digging II

I love it. It maintains structure while really having some insanely powerful riffs. It's so energetic that it really gets me pumped.

Thats the exact same effect that Scum has on me, and most seem to consider that their best one.

Back in FNM mode too and loving this album today. The Real Thing was always my favourite but I can see myself starting to listen to this one more and more when I need my FNM fix. Agressive metal fused with some mellower, jazzy moments.

Even though I consider The Real Thing and Angel Dust their real classics, I tend to listen to King for a Day... and Album of the Year more often. I guess that's partly because I played the other two so much, and these still have catching up to do. Plus production-wise they're just more listenable. Well Angel Dust isn't bad, but The Real Thing is in desperate need of a remaster, IMO.

A remaster would be welcomed. I don't listen to it on my iPod because it's too quiet, especially compared to the others.

Man Man - Rabbit Habits

Really glad I went to see these guys live a few weeks ago, truly a great show and I suggest you don't miss them if they come to your town. I really enjoyed watching the drummer and singer, both very charismatic. I d/l'ed this the night after the show and I think this is my 3rd time spinning it. I think so far I like all 3 albums pretty equally, time will tell if a favorite emerges. But right now I'm digging this one.

Oh yeah...the song that just started, Top Drawer, is the one during which I remember the floor shaking at the show (first time I felt it shake at this venue). The crowd went wild and was jumping in unison, myself included, having never heard this particular song at the time.

Weird, I'm on the same boat as sidewinder. I appreciate and love The Real Thing and Angeldust, but I always put in this one instead. It's grown a beard on me.

Anyway, I can't stop listening to Black Mountain. I know you guys are probably tired of hearing me rant about it, so here, just listen if you've never heard:

Same here, that is really good. I've been digging psychedelic music of all kinds recently and that fits perfectly with my mood. I, too, will be checking more of this stuff out.

Mojo · 09-29-2010, 10:32 AM

I've already listened to their self titled since I posted that. It's good. I was expecting more of that kind of sound in the video and instead got a balance between some slower, more experimental art/noise rock kind of stuff and dirty psychedelic rock. Not that it was a let-down though. The mixture of male/female vocals is really good too.
