Albums You're Digging II

**Urban Hat€monger ?** · 11-06-2009, 11:34 AM

New York Dolls - A Hard Days Night
Complete set of their demos from March 1973 covering both their albums & a bunch of covers. Really good quality too. In fact I think it's better than their debut.

Saint Vitus - Born Too Late
I've had about 4 of their albums on my HD for about 2 years now and totally forgot to listen to them. It's very good, very Sabbathy.

PainKiller - Guts Of A Virgin
John Zorn joined by Bill Laswell from Last Exit & Mick Harris from Napalm Death. How could I turn that line up down.

David Bowie - Scary Monsters
His best album since Scary Monsters, or something.

After the ****fest that was Vapours, and seeing their lead singer come out to play completely smashed, apparently trying to copy Wavves, I all but forgot about this album. It's like a slightly less experimental Unicorns without any of the electronics, and a nice tropical tinge.

MXPX - Let It Happen

Feel free to give me as much **** as you want; this was the only MXPX album ever worth owning. Compilation of b-sides up through '98. After '98, they turned into a very very generic pop-punk band, but say what you will they were actually some good punk rock up to this point. They've even got some great b-sides on here that are like hardcore with an alternative band's singer. Reminds me of the summer before I went to middle school.

wow this is fun

i just sort of stumbled on this group after i grabbed the wrong link. it's like a modern Kraftwerk with the occasional growly, goth vocals. it's all in german so i have no idea what's going on, but it's very entertaining. i grabbed their whole discography, and i'm loving it!

George Harrison - All Things Must Pass

^ Such a great album to just blare out when it's all getting on top of you this. Alright, it's a bit overly preachy in places, but this is the bright side of Phil Spector's wall of sound technique encapsulated in LP form, so you can overlook such things.

The Beatles - Abbey Road

^ Got through my first end-to-end listen of this thing in a long, long time. Such a wonderful album.

The Pogues - Peace and Love

^ This here's an album which manages to combine happiness, anger and sadness so well. In the bright spots at least. I mean, the second side's a bit weak but, again, there are other factors that make up for that.

In my opinion, I think the newer NOFX is a lot more listenable. Parts of Punk in Drublic annoy the **** out of me, if only because Fat Mike's vocals were really whiny. I think after So Long and Thanks For All The Shoes, they started to get a lot better. I would recommend the newer stuff, So Long... is probably my favorite album from those guys.

Hmm. Might do that. I never noticed the font thing either.
