New Adventures in Hi Fi - R.E.M
Some call it their last great album... they are right in the sense that it is great, but it wasn't their last great one... it was just the last of their nineties "rock" phase, before heading into layered electronic production, running that to its fair course and then emerging into yet another great rock phase with Accelerate. I still love this band to death.

 Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Of Natural History (Thanks to JH for this) These guys and girls have come directly from hell to tell us that it's not them but humans ourselves are the problem! As for the music itself - its scary, dark and engaging! It's far too eclectic for one to not like it. Keeps you interested all the time. I honestly thought that I sat through an horror movie. Here's a video of the first track - A Hymn To The Morning Star Phthisis  Japan - Tin Drum The best pop music I've heard in a long while. Love those vocals, bass and drums! In fact, I just love the entire thing. Canton Ghosts  Tipographica - God Says I Can't Dance What the fuck was that?! No youtube videos I'm afraid  .

Hurt me if you will.... but i really enjoyed hearing Death Magnetic by Metallica today, thought it was a darn solid recording, and well worth several more listens...

Still I think the sound of Death Magnetic sounds vastly better than the underdeveloped, anemic sound they sported on St. Anger...

I at least understand what they were trying to do on St. Anger (with the production anyways) with the garage-band sound. But Death Magnetic is set up to be a much better album, and they compress the hell out of the sound with pretty much no rhyme or reason.

It wasn't compression. They pushed the volume of the mix to maximum levels before they mastered it. The lead engineer said when he got the tracks they were already fucked over and he couldn't do anything to clean them up.

I don't think it sounds as bad as people have complained about, although I am most definitely not a fan of this new sport of pushing volume levels, it all seems rather stupoid and reeks of "mine is bigger than yours" stupidity...
