Before you even played the CD there was already a difference, the album cover was in color. It wasn't some low quality photograph, but it detailed and beautiful painting that looks like something out of a J.R.R Tolkien novel. The production value is also quite different, yet very much the same if that makes any sense. One of the key attributes that defined the second wave of black metal was the lo-fi recording techniques that gave the albums there characteristic "raw" sound, as well as fit into the low budget many of the bands had to work with. Emperor struck a very fine balance between preserving that raw sound, however making a smooth production work for them, rather then against them. Lastly this is probably one of the earliest examples of adding symphonic elements to the black metal sound, which depending on what ideology you follow this is either where black metal got incredibly interesting, or died. Regardless of where your beliefs on how "traditional" black metal should be, this album was one of the real combo breakers that gave outsiders a conduit to a very xenophobic genre of music.
yay, fuckin' A

Little Dragon - Ritual Union

I just discovered this band a few weeks ago because their latest album(this) leaked. I'm glad I did. Excellent electronic pop, this is more accessible than their other stuff, and they pull it off splendidly. I've listened to this once and I liked every song on it.

Beach House - Teen Dream

Oh wow, I really love this. Very relaxed, dreamy vibe, with absolutely gorgeous melodies. One of my favorites of 2010.



Sleep - Volume One

I absolutely love Holy Mountain by this band and this one measures up fairly well. It's a lot sludgier and darker than Holy Mountain, and not quite as amazing but still pretty bad ass.

You've heard Dopesmoker (2003) before right?

It's two songs, one of them is just around an hour long of pure stoner drone noise, it's pretty awesome, but something that's definitely more of a background music.

Anyhow here's what I've been digging.



Out Hud - S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D. (2002)

Pretty good dance punk/ indie electronic album. It blends electronic beats with guitar riffs very well and can make you get up and shake your money maker, or if you're boring like me and just sit in your chair bobbing your head around like a pillock.
