Rubik - Bad Conscience Patrol

Finnish indie rock. One of the few bands from my home country that I enjoy. The album has a really nice feel to it. I still kick myself for not going to see them few weeks ago in my new hometown. I quess I was scared to go anywhere since I had just moved in.

that's too bad! next time you get a chance you should definitely go see them. they were really great at roskilde festival!

and i agree with you about sigur rós.

I've never really thought about exploring their discography any further, but I might just do so after getting a load of the Remote Part earlier today. My brother's got a copy of Hope Is Important, which I listened to once but can't remember much (if anything) about. The Remote Part is pretty awesome though, as you say. My favourite off of it would probably be this ol' chestnut;

I'll keep an eye peeled for 100 Broken Windows for sure. Cheers for the heads-up.

Alice in Chains - Facelift

I still believe this is, by far, their greatest album. Considering this is their debut, I'm not surprised. That pattern suits me.

Fleetwood Mac—Rumours (1977)
It's funny, somehow I missed the Fleetwood Mac boat. I mean I was aware of them but I always vaguely thought of them as some 70s soft rock band that I wouldn't like. If you asked me to name one of their songs I'd probably be at a loss, though I'd be certain I had heard several. More recently I've started to realize how many people consider Rumours to be a classic album and that made me curious. I was happy to discover that it really does live up to the hype and surprised-but-not-really-surprised to realize that I already knew nearly every song on the album, though I didn't know most of them were by Fleetwood Mac. This really is a fantastic album, and surprisingly mellow for being recorded by a bunch of people who were snorting truckloads of blow at the time.

Thanks CunningStunt!

I remember when I first listened to this album from start to finish, and how taken I was with Gold Dust Woman and Oh Daddy (my 2 favourite tracks off the album)

Bad Religion - The Dissent Of Man

i honestly had no intention at all to hear this album until a good friend whose judgement on music i trust...told me to give it a try....Bad religion being one of my favorite punk rock bands has really disappointed me basically since "The Gray Race"...and to be honest i rarely play anything after "Against The Grain"

i was basically told that this is not "Suffer" part 2 but well worth a few listens...and it is.....this album does not sound like a band that is over 30 years old....great melodic political punk....with their typical sense of sarcasm.....a must for long time fans and beginners...
