Don't see why it gets lumped into the infinitely superior Animals and DSOTM.

A lot of the tracks are mediocre, and I would never be able to listen to it non-stop. It's just that it contains some of the best and most popular Pink Floyd tracks (Another Brick in the Wall, Comfortably Numb, Hey You), and the songs go together like chapters in a book. The fact that it is so damn long is two points down, though.

When Scott Miller of the Loud Family/Game Theory died on the 15th, free downloads of long out-of-print Game Theory albums were posted on the Loud Family website. I've download a few albums, especially my favorite "Lolita Nation".

Hopefully the download links still work:

Agrypnie - Aetas Cineris (2013)

I found out about these guys back in 2010 when they released 16[485] which was one of the metal albums from that year that really stuck with me. Trying to define them is a little difficult, but they follow a black metal approach, but with more of an ISIS or mid '90's Neurosis approach. Progressive metal seems the most appropriate, but be warned that this is a long album. There's 10 tracks in total and none of them are shorter than 8 minutes, so strap yourselves in for a long ride. Not a bad one, but I can definitely see people zoning in and out of this.

Rubber Factory - The Black Keys

Man, what happened to these guys? They used to be so great.

Inter Arma - Sky Burial (2013)
Some nice doomy, progressive sludge metal released on Relapse. It's not too far away from Neurosis and early Mastodon but there's quite a lot going on in their sound to set them apart. There's a nice mixture of styles on this album with dark and despairing sludge, some black metal-style vocals, quiet and spacey interludes and some tribal drumming. One of the better albums I've heard so far in this slightly underwhelming year.

I'll have to give this a go.

I've been in pre-Desert Fest mode this week. Trying to nail down my schedule for the weekend. Listening to albums and bands I know, love, and can't wait to see and of course some of the stuff I haven't heard before.

DOZER - CALL IT CONSPIRACY (2003)
Big stoner riffs but certainly not a slow-burning, sludgy album. Immediate impact. I can't decide whether I want to see these or Wo-Fat.

GLOWSUN - ETERNAL SEASON (2012)
French hypnotic psychedelic/stoner metal band. I've been enjoying this album from last year and expect them to provide both a meditative easing into the Sunday afternoon and an injection of rif***e to help rid of Saturdays hangover.

LATITUDES - AGONIST (2009)
Slick atmospheric sludge metal and nice post-rock interludes. Should serve as a welcome window of chill-out on Sunday before Colour Haze and Pentagram.

ABRAHMA - THROUGH THE DUSTY PATHS OF OUR LIVES (2012)
A random Bandcamp find from six months or so ago, of French desert stoner rock that I'm very much looking forward to hearing live. Ryhthmic drums and layered riffs.

SEA BASTARD - S/T (2012)
Bleak, miserable, down-tempo doom metal. Should be a great start to the day on Sunday.

I went into a record store (a real store with walls, roof and a door) to buy a Sonics CD. I walked out with The Ramones Road to Ruin. I had to get the Sonics online.

Still, I'm sure that a good number of copies have that Devo Merchandise order form with the ad for We're All Devo still in. (see attachments)

Glad to see someone else mention this album. Very solid material, I actually have it on my phone now and I've been listening to it at work repeatedly.

What's the last record sound like? I've seen it a few times on some forums. Is it new?
