Did you enjoy Hurtbreak Wonderland

It's a fairly large portioned listening experience, and I've given it 2 listens so far. It takes awhile for this kind of album to sink in, but all of my favorite albums started out this way, so it's hard to gauge my thoughts on "Hurtbreak Wonderland" without forcing a perspective.

I personally don't think I can get bored of it.

Can't wait to give this one a listen. I was surprised at how much I liked XXX, but I won't be surprised this time if I like this one.

good music
 

yeah these suggestions are definitely nice but from a production stand point acm sounds higher quality, its a reason all these artists rely on acm , check it out at soundclick.com/acmglobal or angelocortezmusik.com productions are so good you dont even need words. :yeah:

Luxuria - Unanswerable Lust

My first vinyl, and I don't even have a record player yet. Just love it so much (and was cheaper than a CD).

Sebadoh - Defend Yourself (2013)
Two listens so far, and honestly it's not disappointing considering it's been 14 years since their last release, but I'm also not in love with it. Nothing has really stood out to me yet, but maybe with a few more listens, something will.

Why? - Golden Tickets [EP] (2013)
I've only taken one listen of this so far since mid-September when it came out, reason being that I didn't find it very good. That's too bad because I really like this band. I'll try again soon.

The Dodos - Carrier (2013)
Pretty good mellow indie rock in the vein of Grizzly Bear, though it lacks the strong emotional connection that the Bears are capable of. A few strong songs such as "The Current", "Destroyer", and "Death", which happen to be consecutive tracks in the second half.

Machinedrum - Vapor City (2013)
I'm really not into this "footwork" direction but I've been listening to Machinedrum for some time, might as well give it a shot. I've played it a few times and think I like it better than his last one, Room(s).

Great Lake Swimmers - Ongiara (2007)
I've been intending to listen to this band for quite some time. I put the album in a shuffle list recently and a few songs really grabbed me. As a whole it's also really good and will be in rotation for a while.

Pond - Hobo Rocket (2013)
Not sure what I think of this quite yet after a first pass. It's a bit of a mess, as was some of the material on their last one. I think I found more immediate melodies there than here, though. I'll try again one of these days.

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway (2003)
Finally got around to this after intending to for many years. "Carry Me Ohio" is great.

Fuzz - Fuzz (2013)
Ty Segall's latest group, this one sounding quite Sabbath and quite good.

Mail the Horse - Great Kills (2012)
I don't recall how I discovered this band, especially since it's been several months that I first added this to my wishlist. They don't have much of a following (an understatement with 55 listeners on last.fm). And considering, this is surprisingly good. Some tracks bring to mind "Salt of the Earth" type Rolling Stones (particularly "Dance Alone"), others bring to mind early Elton John as well. I could probably safely describe it as Country Rock genre, though being modern some might call it indie folk/rock with a splash of Americana.

Iceage - You're Nothing (2013)
Only heard this once all the way through so far, but had it in a shuffle list for a while so certain songs had already grabbed my attention. Pretty noisy but some nice melodies can be found. Goes by pretty quickly, which is not really a bad thing.

Bass Drum of Death - Bass Drum of Death (2013)
If you like Ty Segall's garage style and JEFF the Brotherhood, you'll dig this. Unless everything you listen to must be original. Great hooks.

Sons of the Morning - Speak Soon, Vol. 1 (2013)
First release from the collaboration of Prefuse 73 and Teebs, on P73's new label Yellow Year Records where he plans to release collaborations with Nathan Fake, Nosaj Thing, Dimlite, and others, and probably more with Teebs as Sons of the Morning. Just downloaded this today and about to start my first listen.

Polvo - Siberia (2013)
Their second reunion album, four years after 2009's great In Prism. Looking forward to hearing this one, I really enjoyed the last.

Blue Sky Black Death - Glaciers (2013)

Hopefully this will help kill the time while I wait for Tim Hecker's new album to drop.

Deltron 3030 - Event II (2013)

I already gave this a listen a few weeks ago from Pitchfork and found it to be a pretty decent album, nothing mind blowing but a good little album. Perhaps not as amazing the 13 year wait would seem to indicate, but it's not like the Del, Kid Koala, or Dan the Automator were just sitting in a room throwing pencils into the ceiling tiles during all that time. The fact that it had the potential to be another Chinese Democracy and averted the fate of that ill conceived album are reason enough to celebrate its release.

Ultravox - Systems of Romance
Ultravox - Vienna

Talk about a serious compare and contrast - getting into the sounds of John Foxx's sharp, controlled, and stylish forward thinking (for the time) that was taking Ultravox in the right direction while still keeping a good amount of the first album's punch and then hearing Midge Ure taking that band into a pompous but still very melodic and strong sound that has it's attraction although remains over-reaching compared to what happened before topped with Ure's somewhat annoying reaching for the high notes.

I may be a bit of that "First Three Albums Superior" listener when it comes to Ultravox, but I still have time for Vienna, Rage in Eden (although I laugh like crazy when I hear the words of "The Voice"), and the singles after that.

PS...Vienna (US edition) was a Cut-Out! Could this single the return of a certain blog I was doing?
