Rainard Jalen · 02-12-2009, 02:31 PM

You listen to as many as 10 previously unheard albums a week? Sccarrry...

Not all of these were previously unheard, some were just on my top ten (Heroine, The YIPPEE EP, etc.)

But yes, I'll usually listen to around 5-7 previously unheard albums during a good week.

Very nice, I will be looking into some of this.

I envy you.

I'm moving to a new house, so if I don't finish putting up my top ten this weekend, that's why.

Week of February 9

10.
Blink-182 - Take Off Your Pants & Jacket

Ah, blink-182 brings back memories of when I was a kid. Which is kind of scary seeing as how explicit their lyrics were for a little kid to be listening to. Happy, upbeat album, slows down towards the end, has sentimental songs. This is where blink-182 turned to everyone and told them they could make sentimental, heartfelt mature songs.

9.
Armor For Sleep - The Way Out Is Broken EP

These guys were in last week's top ten also, but this album is so different from the other album that I can't compare them to one another. This one is happy, pop-punk/rock, and just happy music. There's not a single sad or slow track on this EP, which is unlike Armor For Sleep. Good uke-like song (Know What You Have). Great stuff.

8.
The Secret Cancer - We're So Lost...

Indie/electronica project, at least I'm pretty sure it's a project and not a band. Either way, so fucking catchy, can't help but singing along. He doesn't go over the top with all the electronica fx, it's pretty damn good. Funniest thing is that he has zero plays scrobbled on the last.fm page, no picture up, nothing. Apparently he wants everyone to spread the album around, so if anyone here wants the music...

The eating.seats album is bloody good. anyone into Floyd and mellow Porcupine Tree, Riverside will love it. You can download it from their website for free too.

Alfred · 02-16-2009, 11:27 AM

I listened to it, but I'll probably have to listen again to get the full effect.

Roemilca · 02-28-2009, 01:31 PM

Sorry, still haven't gotten my computer up. I'm using a library computer right now. Anyways, I'm thinking of making a top 25 to make up for the weeks I haven't done and the week I get my computer up and running again.

Roemilca · 03-07-2009, 11:31 AM

Sorry for all the emptiness on this music journal. Alright, here it is, Top 25 Albums.

Weeks of February 15 - March 15

11.
Above The Sky - Demos
Okay, so I'll admit that this is MY project, but still. I think it's actually pretty catchy. I put FR3$HHMANN up on myspace, you can check it out there if you want to.
myspace.com/abovetheskymusic

10.
Rendezvous With The Kidnappers - Turbulencia
Think The Sound Of Animals Fighting's Tiger & The Duke and The Ocean & The Sun put together. This would be their beautiful-little-sexy-baby-hell-of-an-album. Name says it all. It's violent, progressive, and just plain amazing. Fans of TSOAF and other experimental projects will love this.

9.
What Happened In Vegas - Promo CD
Pop-punk band that used to be progressive post-hardcore? Anyways, like this cd, but I like their earlier stuff like We'd Look Stunning and Attention Attention.

8.
Various Artists - Glitch Village Vol. 2
Fun stuff. Minimalist, bitpop, etc.

7.
The OK Corral - Promo CD
Pop-punk at it's best. Definitely an under-appreciated band. The promo cd is up for free download on their myspace.
myspace.com/okcorral

6.
Nevershoutnever! - The Yippee EP
It's already been on my top albums before, but this is some seriously catchy stuff.

5.
The Sound Of Animals Fighting - The Ocean And The Sun
I'm sorry, this album just never gets old.

4.
(compilation)
Mercy Of The Fall - Dear Diamond Princess EP, MOTF EP
Chelsea Grin - Chelsea Grin EP
Miss May I - Miss May I EP, Demos 2008
To each their own, right? Well I'm a fan of metal/deathcore, and these are pretty much some of my favorite bands of that genre, so top four, here you go.

3.
Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist

I don't even know why.

2.
Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs

Great album. The first DCfC album that I've gotten and listened to, actually. Not sure what the old stuff is like, but I'm willing to give it a listen.

1.
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank

I was holding a grudge against this album for the past two years, and I don't even remember why. I picked it up from my local library to give it a listen and return it, but I think I might up buying it from them. Amazing from start to finish.

I'M WORKING ON THIS SHIZ. NOT DONE YET, DON'T COMPLAIN.
