I never really got into that album as much as their other stuff, although there are a few great songs on it. I must do the same and dig it out and give it another listen.

wasn't really feeling these two cds the first time around, but now i'm really liking them both

How do you like that Anthony Hamilton album compared to his two later studio albums?

If you have heard any of them, obviously.

Ghost - Hypnotic Underworld
Ghost - Snuffbox Immanence

Beautiful Japanese psychedelic music. Very "folky" in places as well, especially on Snuffbox Immanence. Hypnotic Underworld is heavier and more out there... both are fantastic.

Asobi Seksu - Fluorescence

I was a little worried about this one. I seemed to be the only person in the world that thought their last album Hush was actually a giant leap forward for the band. Personally, I would have loved to see more growth in that direction. However, the band was very self conscious of the reaction to it, so I figured there were a couple possibilities. They could go back to the Citrus sound and push out some straightforward shoegaze or they could try something radical. As it turns out, they did a little of both. Hush was a very consistent and subtle album, which is why I think a lot of people found it boring. This album, much like its cover, bursts with sound and color. Every song is an event. While the songs are much more upbeat, they somehow manage to stay away from retreading old ground. I don't know how they did it, but they managed to make an album that is both distinct and shows even more growth yet will satisfy the fans of their older sound. I am completely satisfied with this album. I have a feeling I will only like it more with repeated listens.

I've been meaning to check out Ghost. Thanks for a reminder. They're like Acid Mothers Temple, if I'm not mistaken.

Terrifying? I find it pretty fun and tongue-in-cheek.
