RockyRaccoon Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 So it's 2013 now. We're all alive and music is being made. What are you all excited for in music this year? One of my favorite bands, the Local Natives, released a new album today, I'm pumped to listen to it. I Am Kloot also released a new album today, so that's cool (Farin). Other bands/artists tentatively due to release albums in 2013: Eels David Bowie Suede Smashing Pumpkins Vampire Weekend Black Sabbath U2 AC/DC Alice In Chains The Black Keys Deep Purple Megadeth Dream Theater Pearl Jam Queens Of The Stone Age Rod Stewart The Strokes The Airborne Toxic Event Tool The Vines We'll see how many of those actually get released this year, but it looks like it should be good.
TheLizard Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 Queens of the Stone Age, David Bowie, and Arcade Fire are definitely the three that have me the most excited this year. Twenty two days in and the two albums I've enjoyed enough to buy are Signed and Sealed in Blood by Dropkick Murphys and Love Sign by Free Energy.
Carl Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Most intriguing to me is the Black Keys. They seem to be in that creative cloud Jack White hit about 10 years ago where they could unlock a hidden level. U2 is like The Yankees - they have all the resources but are well past their prime. Can't count them out though. I read an interview with Rod Stewart where he talked about how his voice sounds better since he blew it out. If The Airborne Toxic Event have something to write about, I'll definitely listen. The Strokes and The Vines could be interesting.
RockyRaccoon Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Posted January 26, 2013 So the Local Natives album is phenomenal as is the new I Am Kloot album.
Farin Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Daft Punk and Sigur Ros have confirmed to release albums this year too.
TheLizard Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Foxygen released their second album and it is fantastic. Imagine if Lou Reed made an album with Brian Wilson. Ok, maybe it's not as good as that would be, but still, it's pretty great.
Farin Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 My Bloody Valentine debuts new song, tells audience that album “might be out in two or three days” let the rumour mill start
TheLizard Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 Considering that Kevin Shields clearly lives on a different temporal plane than the rest of us, two or three days might mean another decade.
RockyRaccoon Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Foxygen released their second album and it is fantastic. Imagine if Lou Reed made an album with Brian Wilson. Ok, maybe it's not as good as that would be, but still, it's pretty great. Agreed. New Foxygen album is fantastic. Best way I can describe it is like Beach House turned up louder. Kinda dream-pop-like but with more rock Edited January 29, 2013 by Guest
Farin Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Considering that Kevin Shields clearly lives on a different temporal plane than the rest of us, two or three days might mean another decade. The new album "m b v" is now available for purchase from their website first album since 1991... imagine that
TheLizard Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 I know, I saw. This is insanity! Might be a few days before I can listen to it.
Levis Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Considering that Kevin Shields clearly lives on a different temporal plane than the rest of us, two or three days might mean another decade. I'm really upset I missed this so I couldn't lol at the appropriate time (because this deserves several lols)
Levis Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Oh yeah and I have got my MBV fix obvs. I was most non-excited for this.
RockyRaccoon Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 So I just finished listening to the new MBV album. What's everyone's thoughts? Honestly, I thought it was fantastic.
TheLizard Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 The new MBV album hasn't really stuck with me. I'll have to give it another listen soon. Also, though it doesn't really need saying, Nick Cave is a genius. His new album is called Push the Sky Away. Everyone listen to it.
RockyRaccoon Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Posted February 20, 2013 I just got the new Nick Cave album. Haven't listened to it yet, I'll be sure to.
RockyRaccoon Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Posted February 20, 2013 Parquet Courts' debut album sounds very Minutemen-like, just like "Double Nickels On The Dime". Really good too.
RockyRaccoon Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Posted February 20, 2013 Oh, and, new Eels album is awesome, but that's obvious.
RockyRaccoon Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Posted February 27, 2013 Tim, have you listened to Jim James' new solo album?
TheLizard Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 Yeah, it's really very good. Although the final tribute-to-MLK song is cringe-worthy. And it's not as good as a new MMJ record would be.
RockyRaccoon Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Posted February 28, 2013 Agreed. I liked it, but didn't love it, not as much as I would have enjoyed a MMJ album. "New Life" is a great track though.
TheLizard Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Definitely my favorite. Probably because it's the most MMJ-sounding.
TheLizard Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Amok by Atoms for Peace is definitely a very good album, but at the same time I wish there were less synths and more Flea. I don't get why Thom Yorke would get a whole new band together just to make The King of Limbs Part 2.
RockyRaccoon Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Posted March 2, 2013 Amok by Atoms for Peace is definitely a very good album, but at the same time I wish there were less synths and more Flea. I don't get why Thom Yorke would get a whole new band together just to make The King of Limbs Part 2. Because he's Thom Yorke and when Thom Yorke makes an album it doesn't matter who he's doing it with, it's going to sound like a Thom Yorke album. Haven't listened to the whole album yet but what I've heard sounds like "The Eraser" part 2.
TheLizard Posted March 16, 2013 Report Posted March 16, 2013 Nobody writes catchier songs than They Might Be Giants. Nanobots is no exception. I love this band.
