FaSho Sent Me:

Why? - Eskimo Snow

Not too bad, better than i expected for this band i give it a 6/10

Edit: FaSho, your inbox was full (again) so i put the Copeland album on your profile.

Bump, because it's cool (to bump threads)

and because this thread shouldn't die

Fruit Bats - The Ruminant Band

Two week ago Stone Birds sent me The Ruminant Band by Fruit Bats. It's a nice little folk indie album that's easy to relax to. Throughout two listens I never felt a big connection with the album. It was nice but not great. 5.5/10 with the potential to grow.

The wonderful Miss Dreadnaught was kind enough to send me some good ol' Southern Rock with The Mountain by the group Heartless Bastards. I wasn't really critically listening to it, it was more inbetween the stages of passive listening and analytical however when I was listening intently I really was enjoying what I heard. Me thinks with a few more listens (preferably one with headphones) this will become an album I come back to on a regular basis. At times I found the vocalist a little hard to listen to, but those were few and far between and never really affected my opinion on the actual music. All in all I would have to give this a real positive review, if I believed in giving numerical reviews I'd have to put this somewhere between a 7-9 out of 10. I can only hope you enjoyed the album I sent you as much as I enjoyed this one.

Also I just want to say that I'm still planning on doing this and will post partners on Saturday August 29th so if you're interested in participating just let me know.

There a pretty solid band. I actually found there record at my public library. (It is good for something these days!) Of coarse it magically lept onto my computer and has stayed there

I was looking through this thread reading some older reviews and thought of somehting. Perhaps this week or week after we should have a themed trade. Nothing too specific but like a genre that everyone will stay in. This way people can get all sorts of different stuff if the genre is changed weekly.

Yeah I've been toying around with that idea for about a month now, it'd be a cool way of showing how even though bands play a different style of music, the themes of their lyrics can sometimes all be the same. If we do decide to do this then it'll most likely be in a week or two.

Also here's the partners for this week:

Numberninedream - LoathsomePete

Wooooooooooo great turn out YEAH!
