Cool, try the Spacemen 3, Sound of Confusion. I really love the first track.

General thoughts: First half blends together a lot but 2nd half felt a lot more varied and imaginative. Great final two tracks to close the album. I would probably enjoy this more if i was high but I don’t do that before work

Rating: 6.5/10

Favorite tracks: Tapped In, Meditation
Nice. His songs don't have much substance but his production is off the hook. It's sleek and alien and gross. His live shows look pretty interesting as well.

Magnetic Fields - Holiday recommended by Dreadnaught

Did I listen to the whole thing?: Yes

General thoughts: This was a lot synth-ier than i was expecting. I don’t really have many complaints about the songwriting or production, the only frustration is just that his vocal range is so minimal that it’s hard for any of his melodies to stand out. Even Matt Berninger can write vocal melodies that stand out in my head, whereas I feel like this album featured the same three notes sung on every track. I can’t even name a favorite track because none of them stuck out. But again the songs themselves are well written and enjoyable.

Favorite tracks: Genuinely can’t name one, nor would I be able to name a least favorite

That's very fair. Their older stuff is very synth heavy and doesn't highlight stephin merritt's song writing ability or plays off of his voice as well as some of the later albums. I still love it though. It might take a few listens for it to start to sink in. Thanks for playing at least.

I'm still in Indy but graduated from IUPUI thank the high heavens.

Very nice congrats

I’m ancitipating I’ll have to stay in Indiana for a while. Fiancee is nearly finished getting her teaching license and wants to then teach kindergarten, and shortly after we’ll probably look for a house and whatnot. Fort Wayne has a lot of flaws but in terms of owning a house and starting a family it’s tough to beat

Ought - More Than Any Other Day recommended by Goofle

Did I listen the whole thing?: Yes, and this won’t be the last time

General thoughts: Like I said, I know I listened to this once but I must’ve not been in the right mindset because I never went back. This album kicks tons of ass. Several times the singer’s voice reminded me of Paul Westerberg’s, and to be honest this feels like something Westerberg might have written if he’d been born 20 years later. That is a huge compliment. This is just some great post punk from fromt to back, they develop their songs well and do it with an attitude. A couple early tracks go on a little longer than they needed to. Not much else bad I can say

Favorite tracks: Title track, Forgiveness, Around Again

Rating: 8.5/10
