Goofle11's Twenty Fourteen Listening Log

**Goofle** · 03-12-2014, 02:20 PM

Louis Barabbas & The Bedlam Six - Get Religion! (2011) [EP]

A nice little slice of cabaret. Can't get enough of that style of music.

3/5

----------------------------------------

Food for Animals - Belly (2008)

I dig this a lot. Let me rephrase that, I dig what they are going for a lot. Some of it is rather underwhelming though.

3.5/5

----------------------------------------

Snake Walk - Cheap Cream (2014) [Single]

Really good first single. Loved the instrumentals especially. Avidly anticipating new material.

3.5/5

----------------------------------------

Thou - Heathen (2014)

Some pretty awesome gloomy doomy sludge-y metal here. A little bit fucking long, but I can deal with it.

4/5

Oh you.

Now that I've got my laptop back I'm going through this thread tonight and checking out everything with a 3.5 or higher.

I can't believe he didn't go 5 star. That is just unacceptable good sir.

Well, everything I haven't already heard. And not full listens, just previews. Nothing gets a full spin from me until I've been adequately impressed, nawmsayin.

Teenage Jesus & the Jerks - Pink (1979) [EP]

This shit is the shit. Absolutely adoring all of it to pieces. Potential 4.5 album.

4/5

----------------------------------------

BABYMETAL - BABYMETAL (2014)

Really good album. Pretty damn heavy in parts.

3.5/5

----------------------------------------

Immaculate Machine - Fables (2007)

Undoubtedly an "okay" Indie Rock album. Does it move you? Not really. Does it do anything besides have you kinda nod along a little bit? Not really. But can I say I hate any song on it? Not really.

2.5/5

----------------------------------------

Apache Dropout - Bubblegum Graveyard (2012)

On the poppier side of Garage Rock, and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

3.5/5

**Goofle** · 03-17-2014, 02:40 PM

Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence (1987)

Brain thuddingly good. One of the better Metal/Thrash/whatever you call it albums I have heard in a while.

4/5

----------------------------------------

Misophone - Where Has It Gone, All the Beautiful Music of Our Grandparents? It Died With Them, That's Where It Went... (2007)

I've had a hard time rating this album as some of it bores me, but songs like "Seaweed on the Rocks" and "Nothing Down There But Trees" have an unmistakable appeal. I guess I enjoyed it overall, and it would probably grow on me quite a bit if I let it.

3.5/5

----------------------------------------

Pharrell Williams - G I R L (2014)

Catchy and fun, but it gets a little tiresome, especially when "Lost Queen" hits.

3/5

2.5/5

I enjoyed the novelty of the two Angelique interviews and her story is one of great intrigue to me, but I skip those two tracks when I replay the album.
I mean, the concept was a unique one, throwing in the two segments of her life story on an album that at times had little to do with her.
But, I really enjoy the songs. Especially Tithe Pig, Aletta & Nail House Music

I find the band to be very different from everything out there. They have a unique abrasive style which combines with a sense of loathing and insecurity. The lyrics are very creative and the songs tell great stories or convey points very well. Aletta, a song about a girl, that rags on other songs about girls for example is very cleverly done.

I find myself singing the songs to myself and I've enjoyed this record far more than any other this year. To me, it was so refreshing, something new and captivating.

Appreciate your opinion though, from what I've read, reviews have been really mixed. At first, I wasn't entirely convinced by it. I thought it was weird, but it grew on me so hard and I appreciate it's genius. Give it another shot if you feel in that way inclined, if not. It's up to you.

Been meaning to check out some of the higher rated 2014 albums on this list too. You've always got your finger on the pulse to obscure new music. Keep it up.

**Goofle** · 03-18-2014, 03:09 PM

I'm slacking for 2014 in all honesty.

And I would also skip the interviews if I were to ever listen to it again. They were quite a nice novelty. But I might give it another chance because on your post.
