School of Seven Bells - Ghostory While I am enjoying this album, I feel School of Seven Bells always has a few brilliant songs mixed in with songs I just kind of passingly enjoy. I'll say this...they will make one hell of a greatest hits album.

Had this, the new Killer Mike album, on at the gym today. Awesome lyrics and tight-ass production courtesy of El-P. Reminds me quite a bit of Ice Cube on the angrier tracks, however there are some dope reflective tracks too. One of the better rap albums in what has been an exceptional year for the hip-hop thus far. |

The Stooges, Funhouse Scummy and grimy protopunk at its best. Love this album so much, but haven't listened to it in awhile. Glad I dug it out. The Dead Weather, Sea Of Cowards Twisted blues-rock with nonsense lyrics in alternating mumbles and shrieks. Awesome, unique song structures with lots of frantic drumming and crazy guitarwork. King Geedorah, Take Me To Your Leader MF Doom created an album by sampling old sci-fi and horror movies and having an insane amount of rappers contribute. This just bangs. A must listen for hip hop fans. Toe, For Long Tomorrow Got this based on users here talking about it. Some awesome, jazzy math rock. A very fun album, with lots of piano, acoustic guitar, and even xylophone. Really great. Johnny Cash, American IV: The Man Comes Around I really don't know anything about Johnny Cash, honestly. I don't really listen to country, maybe out of rebellion, considering everyone around me does. For some reason, though, I picked this up. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. It's a cover album, but Cash really makes all the covers seem meaningful and emotionally packed. Very good.

Archive - You All Look the Same To Me Again started off just ok, but right around the 6 minute mark I was like...damn. While they are a little obvious about who their influences are, this stuff is really damn good. Just a straight ahead, thoroughly enjoyable album.

Suspyre - S/T Even in the increasingly diverse world of metal, this album stands out by miles. Lots of thrash and death elements, but throw in some bossa nova and smooth jazz and you've got something monstrously special on your hands. One track in particular, 'The Divided Son', is insanely catchy as far as melodic metal goes too.

LITE - Phantasia Reminds me of toe in the way that they mix technical skill with the accessibility that would get people who don't normally listen to math rock enjoying it, albeit more "rocking" in comparison to toe's more mellowed out discography. Good stuff. |
