At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
This is a banger. Post-hardcore by the Mars Volta dudes for those people who don't know for whatever reason.
Eyeless in Gaza - Song of the Beautiful Wanton
Art pop, vaguely post-punk. Sounds like Antony of Antony and the Johnsons if you like that kind of wailing, owlish voice (I kinda don't). It was still solid until about the midpoint though and then kind of crumbled into blandness for me.
Laika - Good Looking Blues
Trip hop album that sounds like a less-engaging Hooverphonic. It was ok.
Deftones - White Pony
This album ****s.
Vaz - Demonstrations in Micronesia
Solid noise rock album. Do it. Yeahhhh.
The Black Heart Procession - Three
Another gooder. Reminds me of... Gareth Liddiard? Maybe? Kind of a restrained indie rock album. RYM says slowcore but I'm not sure I agree.
