RockyRaccoon Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Posted July 4, 2013 I'll have to add that one to my increasingly bloated list of stuff I need to listen to. I have a similar list. Way too many albums to listen too. Put Uncle Acid high on your list though, I think you'll like them. Check out this song. So worth it.
TheLizard Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 That is some great stoner metal. I do wish the vocals were mixed a little higher, but still, pretty great.
RockyRaccoon Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Posted July 6, 2013 Jay-Z's new album "Magna Carta Holy Grail" is fantastic. Better than "The Blueprint 3" for sure. One of the best hip-hop albums of the year, right up there with Kanye's new album.
TheLizard Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 The whole Samsung deal gives me a queasy feeling and I'm a little bored of hearing Jay-Z tell us how rich and awesome Jay-Z is. At least Kanye's ego is interesting.
RockyRaccoon Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Posted July 6, 2013 The whole Samsung deal gives me a queasy feeling and I'm a little bored of hearing Jay-Z tell us how rich and awesome Jay-Z is. At least Kanye's ego is interesting. I can understand that. The album strays a bit from that though, it's less about how awesome Jay-Z is, at least, not as much. The music is great at the very least. The only eye-roller is a song he does with Beyonce which is basically them saying to each other "You're awesome, no you're awesome, no you're awesome" but whatever. The rest is worth it.

TheLizard Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Justin Timberlake's new single is actually pretty decent: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/justin-timberlake-drops-take-back-the-night-from-the-next-20-20-experience-20130712
RockyRaccoon Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Posted July 16, 2013 Portugal. The Man's new album, a collaboration with Danger Mouse, is fantastic
TheLizard Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Sistrionix by Deap Vally is one of the best rock albums of the year. They're a female duo that fall somewhere in between the blues-rock purism of the Black Keys and the jagged hard rock of the White Stripes. And Lindsey Troy can wail.
RockyRaccoon Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Posted July 19, 2013 Finally got to listen to Boards Of Canada's new album and it's beautiful.
Carl Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Jay-Z's new album "Magna Carta Holy Grail" is fantastic. Better than "The Blueprint 3" for sure. Finally got to hear this, but couldn't get through it. The beats are fantastic, but after 7 or 8 songs where Jay reiterates his greatness, the lyrics are just too tiresome.

The beats are fantastic, but after 7 or 8 songs where Jay reiterates his greatness, the lyrics are just too tiresome. Yea, I can understand that. That's been the number one complaint about the album.
RockyRaccoon Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Posted July 24, 2013 Deafheaven's "Sunbather" is a revelation. It's like a whole new genre of music. Imagine Kevin Shields joined Explosions In The Sky and they collectively decided to start playing metal. That's what this is, it's incredible. Top 10 album of 2013 so far.
TheLizard Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 I tried to get into that one and I just couldn't. It does nothing for me.
RockyRaccoon Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Posted July 24, 2013 I don't know why, but I was just fascinated with it.
RockyRaccoon Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 If you're into acoustic drone (and really, who isn't?) Mohammad's "Som Sakrifis" is really interesting.
RockyRaccoon Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 Finally got around to listening to Sigur Ros's new album and it's fantastic, duh. Different direction than their past few albums, I like it.
RockyRaccoon Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Posted August 4, 2013 I don't know what took me so long to listen to Mikal Cronin's album "MCII", but it is fantastic. Not a bad track on the album.
RockyRaccoon Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Posted August 5, 2013 An amazing band you've never heard of. Only way I heard of them was them asking me to review their album on my blog. In Place They only have three singles right now, but those three singles are really really good. And they're free.
TheLizard Posted August 9, 2013 Report Posted August 9, 2013 Here's my review of The Sun Dogs by Rose Windows: http://fancysheepprivateeye.com/album-review-the-sun-dogs-by-rose-windows/
RockyRaccoon Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Posted August 10, 2013 Another album that took me too long to get to, The Ocean's "Pelagial" is one of, if not the, best metal album of the year. This is some Between The Buried And Me level stuff.
RockyRaccoon Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Posted August 16, 2013 If you had told me that Pet Shop Boys would release one of the best albums of the year, I would've laughed at you so hard. But they did. "Electric" is really good.
TheLizard Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 I've heard the Springsteen cover from that album. I thought it was pretty good.
