Sigur Rós - Valtari
So much better than what I expected. Amazing. It's easily my second favorite, right behind Takk. Maybe in time they'll be tied, because I think I like every song on this album, and that can't be said for Takk. |

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers—The Witch Doctor (1961) Really digging this album. It has kind of a different vibe from other Jazz Messengers albums and somehow manages, strangely enough, to sound both more traditional and more edgy at the same time. The songs are generally fairly energetic with abrupt shifts in style. Blakey's drumming seems more in your face than normal, like he's pissed off about something, and I like it. I also like the production a lot. Considering when it was recorded, this is more likely a result of subpar equipment than an intentional artistic decision, but the tracks have a decidedly dry, low-fi quality, with the drums frequently sounding overdriven. Great stuff. |

Amenaza al Mundo by Fantomas I love the general insanity and the Dada aspects of this album. Dave Lombardo has a lot of amazing drum bits and Buzz Osbourne has some great guitar work on't. Of course, Patton's vocals go without mentioning that they're fantastic. One of these days, I'm going to write out all of the lyrics for this album. Overall this is a great album to blast as you're driving through a middle class suburban neighbourhood, I've gotten some priceless reactions to doing that.
