The new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is really good. I've been lukewarm on them in the past so I don't know if I'm just in the right mood for this album right now or if it's that much better than their past work.

Stole the show Saturday of All Points West on the main stage. It was funny because I've seen them at the Stone Pony twice in a crowd of a few hundred, but it wasnt until I saw them standing in a crowd of 10 thousand that I realized what a fun band this was. It is generally the other way around. New New Pornos single, "Your Hands Together" is really great. Really agressive. And I've been told the rest of the record is as well. |

We're always on the same music vibe. Weird. I was going to post on this album as I finally downloaded it from our lab and listened yesterday. I liked the start, but after track 4 ("War Machine" - which I couldn't get into after 2 listens) it started to slow down too much for my tastes...even in the context of a BMRC album. I thought Howl and especially Baby 81 were much better. -------------------- Trust In The Garth

They're good enough writers to have maybe 3 good songs an album, but then the rest seem like hipster 2 cool 4 school BS. Gotta keep the energy level up, boys. That's why it's called Rock and Roll.

It might just be the mood I'm in though. There are weeks where everything new I listen to sounds like shit and then I'll have a day like yesterday where I absolutely fell in love with two albums. Beat The Devil's Tattoo being one and Uninhabitable Mansion's album Nature is a Taker being the other. I was actually thinking of you last night when I was listening to Nature is a Taker as it's got a really good, upbeat vibe that I thought you'd be into. Sort of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah meets Pela meets Architecture in Helsinki. The band is actually Robbie Guertin and Tyler Sargent from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah with Annie Hart from Au Revoir Simone This post has been edited by rightbug: Mar 12 2010, 11:12 AM -------------------- |

I just heard Au Revoir Simone on a podcast (KEXP Seattle's Live Performances - If you don't listen to this, you MUST) and while I'm not the biggest fan of electro bubble-gum pop, they kept me interested for the whole set of songs. And, of course, anything compared to Pela earns an automatic listen. I too find myself flipping opinions on albums simply because I was in a different mood the next time I heard it. Maybe BMRC sounds better next week or next month, but ight now...meh. I always try again, though because I know mood is a factor. Right now...Broken Bells' eponymous debut. It's Danger Mouse and the lead singer of The Shins. So far...pretty good. -------------------- Trust In The Garth

It really comes out at the start of this song: And, of course, once the singing starts it has that bubble-gum pop sound but there's also a bit of an edge and that fuzzy, distorted, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah sound. -------------------- |

I got The Brutalist Bricks along with Shake The Streets and also enjoyed the former, although not as much as Streets. Maybe because I was working on the first listens, but all the tracks were pretty good (all except three got at least 3 Stars on Melvin's Super-Awesome, All-Binding iTunes Rating System© ). I'll do a re-listen of each album individually in the coming days to separate the two, but I enjoyed both together very much. Have to get Living With The Living.

Not as good as From Yesterday, but still very good nonetheless...I recommend. Also, Stephen Lynch- 3 Balloons Also not as good as his previous albums, but still hysterical. |

The new Deftones.
While I've enjoyed their past few albums, they've always been kind of "meh." Some good songs, some not so good songs, overall just ok albums with high points. This one blows them all away. Chino channels Duran Duran a lot. It works. It works really, really well. http://soundcloud.com/deftones_official/diamond-eyes |

QUOTE(Scuubs @ Mar 19 2010, 12:00 AM) 30 Seconds to Mars- This is War Not as good as From Yesterday, but still very good nonetheless...I recommend. I actually need to go get this. I really liked the first album. They're also playing at the Wellmont in Montclair and I'm thinking of getting tickets. Matters if I go to Citi Field for opening day next week or not. I also blame Bryce Lampman for liking 30 Seconds to Mars. He had them add a bunch of songs to the pregame warm-up music at Pack games back in the day. And because of that I bought the album. Damn you Bryce Lampman. -------------------- Behind the Press

QUOTE(Beamer @ Mar 20 2010, 11:25 AM) The new Deftones. While I've enjoyed their past few albums, they've always been kind of "meh." Some good songs, some not so good songs, overall just ok albums with high points. This one blows them all away. Chino channels Duran Duran a lot. It works. It works really, really well. http://soundcloud.com/deftones_official/diamond-eyes Didn't know the Deftones were still making albums at this point. I'll have to check it out. |

Sugar Hill Gang.
-------------------- Fenway Park, in Boston, is a lyric little bandbox of a ballpark. Everything is painted green and seems in curiously sharp focus, like the inside of an old-fashioned peeping-type Easter egg. It was built in 1912 and rebuilt in 1934, and offers, as do most Boston artifacts, a compromise between Man's Euclidean determinations and Nature's beguiling irregularities. - John Updike |

So, I found a free song for Guitar Hero and really liked it. Checked out the band and I'm liking it a lot.
Said song: Sick guitar part on the game. Haven't tried the drums yet. Probably this weekend. Maybe I'll even try the vocals. After a few drinky-drinks. -------------------- Trust In The Garth

Just another example of a band that is great musically and ruined by the vocals...I just don't get it. I was really diggin' it until he opened his mouth. Oh well -------------------- |

I dunno. I'm generally not a hardcore fan. The growling thing is more tolerable to me than some of the "screamier" vocals out there. I guess if there's at least some melodic aspects to the growling, it helps me like it more. Does that make sense?

I saw Unearth a bunch of years back before their makeover. Toolish guys with thick out-of-style glasses. Cracked me up. Very D&D metal. Lots of lame metal theatrics. They opened for Converge, who sarcastically imitated their theatrics. Most notably was playing guitar with one hand while slowly raising the middle finger to the crowd. Lame when one band did it, hysterical when another mocked it.
Still not into them. Over the top D&D metal with weird growling instead of falsettos. They've gotten very popular, though. Can't deny their talent, just not my style. |

Speaking of Converge, it took me forever but I finally checked out the new album. I went probably over a year without buying anything new.
I dig it: Very varied. This song is fast as shit. Other songs were co-written by Cave In. Others have a slow western feel. Solid. |
