Levis Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 A Brief History of Love - The Big Pink how could the band that put out something as beautiful as 'Velvet' also be responsible for the beyond banal 'Tonight'?
Viaene Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd I almost forgot how good it really is. 10/10
RockyRaccoon Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 I listened to The Who Live At Leeds the other day. Definitely one of the best live albums I've ever heard.
Farin Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Posted October 16, 2009 Drums and Wires ~ XTC solid post-punk, some songs with notable punk, some with ska influences... I like it 8.5/10
Levis Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Three Fact Fader - Engineers Their last.fm bio currently reads: "Engineers are like any other band" This is because 2 months ago it read: "Engineers are not like any other band" which a friend and I read out loud and our subsequent HAHAHAHAHAHAs were obviously loud enough to reach and sting the ears the people who wrote that bio. Said ears then turned a shade of bright red as they realised how stupid that lne sounded and hastily deleted the offending word - 'not'. Engineers sound like EVERY OTHER SHOEGAZE BAND to have EVER existed EVER which means this album is really good and everyone should listen to it yadda yadda yadda 8/10 that would be 9/10 if they'd just not been kidding themselves earlier.
Farin Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Posted November 12, 2009 Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! ~ Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds you know, that Nick Cave guy... he's really cool 9/10
Levis Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 Seek Magic - Memory Tapes 10/10 - my best of 2009.
Levis Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 I'm listening to a bunch of scattered tracks off assorted Weird Tapes, Memory Tapes, Memory Cassette EPs - I like them. Bicycle is a really good single, but I'm disappointed in how generic Weird Tapes sound compared to Memory Tapes, so they bring the overall score down a notch to about 6.75-7. Memory Tapes on their own are worth an 8.5 On further research I would like to change this to a 9-10 all around.
RockyRaccoon Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 Cosmic Egg- Wolfmother 9/10 I still love their debut better but this one was definitely good. A lot heavier though, leaning more towards the Sabbath sound. I got the deluxe version with a few extra songs and it was definitely worth it. Highlights: New Moon Rising, California Queen, White Feather, Far Away, Back Round, Caroline
Levis Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 I listened to Two Dancers by Wild Beasts again a couple of days ago. I think I needed to give it another listen in order to appreciate how good it is. Very enjoyable, very theatrical and melancholy - I give it 9/10 and throw it into the #2 of the year ring with A Place To Bury Strangers - they can both fight it out.
Levis Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 I love Odd Blood, it's great - nearly a guilty pleasure how poppily good it is.
RockyRaccoon Posted April 15, 2010 Report Posted April 15, 2010 MGMT- Congratulations: 9/10. Starts off slow but ends magical. Warning: This is not Oracular Spectacular, but it is definitely a great album. Phenomenal musicianship, great stuff. My recommendation, listen to the whole album in order, it works best. Jeff Beck- Emotion & Commotion 10/10. Absolutely beautiful guitar work. Eight out of the ten tracks sound like if Howard Shore wrote orchestration and Jeff Beck played guitar over it. The other two are great rock songs featuring Joss Stone. Includes covers of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and "I Put A Spell On You". If you like music, get this album NOW. It is easily one of the best albums I have ever listened to. And I don't say that lightly.
blind-fitter Posted April 19, 2010 Report Posted April 19, 2010 If you like music, get this album NOW. Rules me out then; I can't stand the stuff.
Lissy Posted June 11, 2010 Report Posted June 11, 2010 e.l.o all aroun the world. i really love e.l.o i rate the album 7/10
Farin Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Posted June 11, 2010 I'm using this thread not often enough...
chutzpah Posted June 12, 2010 Report Posted June 12, 2010 you know? I'm not really sure if ELO is still around as a band anymore...But,I saw them a long time ago and they rocked...probably one of the best bands I've ever seen (and I've seen lots of them)
Farin Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Posted June 12, 2010 Talking Heads: 77 - Talking Heads another band that wasn't mentioned yet in the Best Albums of the 70s nominations
Farin Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Posted July 15, 2010 I Am Kloot ~ I Am Kloot (2003) Their second album is maybe even better than their 2001 debut "Natural History". If you like other Manchasterian(?) bands like Elbow or Doves you should definitely check them out
Levis Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 Have you heard Sky At Night yet? It's supposed to be very good, but is too mellow for me. Not as charming as Natural Selection.
Farin Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Posted July 15, 2010 no, so far I've only ever listened to their works in a chronological order that is... first album, second album
Farin Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Posted August 20, 2010 A New Morning, Changing Weather ~ The (International) Noise Conspiracy (2001) I only knew some singles by this band, so I didn't really know what to expect from this album, apart from the fact that they're not really subtle in their political viewpoint (leading single: Capitalism Stole My Virginity) But I was pleasantly surprised by the musical side of it, I certainly didn't expect any brass sections, eg. And the fact that every other track ends with an instrumental jam is a nice touch too 8/10
