Satyricon - The Age of Nero

Not a bad album, although Now Diabolical and Volcano are still way better. However, the song 'Black Crow on a Tombstone' has become my new favourite by the band.

Portugal. The Man - The Satanic Satanist

I've known about these guys since their debut album. But every time I listened to sound clips to gauge interest, it was never enough. I still don't get much enjoyment out of the sound clips for their debut. I've even heard a song or two and didn't really care for them. But a friend today mentioned he was interested in seeing them live tomorrow (he's a fan, seen them already) so I decided to sample some other albums and they seemed to appeal to me more. So I decided to get this and see if I'd be interested in going to the show.

Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

I think I've only heard one song from these guys, and it was from this album. I liked it, but wasn't really looking for music of the sort at the time. Now I'm on a quest for good summer music and maybe this will fit the bill? They seem to get a good amount of praise around MB.

Decided on a few other things as well:

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, Thats What I Am Not

Phoenix - It's Never Been Like That

Patrick Watson - Close to Paradise

The Hudson Brothers - Totally Out of Control

I've been meaning to listen to cream, and get into syl for a while. Arcade fire was spontaneous, and i haven't regretted it yet.

This is my second Swirlies album. Blonder Tongue Audio Baton is great but this album just blows my head off! The arrangements and creativity on this album are incredible and it holds your attention throughout. Fantastic stuff.

Told you so. I had that album on repeat for about a month and I still listen to it a lot.

The current stop on my journey through The Flaming Lips' back catalog. This album has a more crunchier guitar-driven sound and rawer production but the songs shine through brilliantly, and what great songs they are. I'm still trying to work out if there's an overall concept. A very consistent album and gives a good glimpse of what was to come next.

What are you comparing this to? If you started with their recent albums and went backwards then this album probably does seem pretty raw...they progressively got more and more polished with each release. Transmissions From the Satellite Heart is even more crunchy than Clouds Taste Metallic. Go even further to In a Priest Driven Ambulance and it is allll about the guitars. What else have you heard?

I started with their newer stuff and i'm working my way back, although i skipped Zaireeka because i can't find it on cd anywhere. I was comparing it to the likes of The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. The album has a nice production though, it almost feels live at times.

Enjoy City, it's a hell of an album that will leave your ears ringing with satisfaction and hearing loss

Anyhow my last grab was:

Jeff Loomis - Zero Order Phase

The only solo album from Nevermore's guitarist. If it's anything like Warrel Dane's solo outing then I expect nothing but musical ecstasy.

Bulldog · 06-25-2010, 11:42 AM

I was bored, so I got more stuff. These should last me a while...

Giant Sand - Chore Of Enchantment

Eluvium - Talk Amongst the Trees

The Orb - Orbus Terrarum
