Music Banter - The Official Radiohead Thread

Oh I am jealous.

Actually I saw them on your post in the post rock thread and decided to give them a listen cause I've had them on my computer forever since a friend gave me some stuff. I liked The Album Leaf quite a lot, very Mogwai-esque in some senses. The American Dollar was here and there, nothing too outstanding IMO.

I actually kind of agree about both. I liked some parts of The American Dollar, but a lot of it seemed a little, bland, perhaps at times. I did like some of their stuff though. The Album Leaf on the other hand has some really great tracks that I instantly liked a lot, like The Light.

Just curious actually, which Album Leaf album and which American Dollar album did you listen to?

Get "Into the Blue Again" by The Album Leaf if you can, and if you actually want to hear more American Dollar, get their self-titled album. If I remember correctly, A Memory Stream had a lot of busy drumming on a lot of the tracks that I wasn't exactly fond of. The American Dollar (self titled album) is a lot more subdued I think. Though I don't think you're going to find "stand-out" tracks necessarily, if you like soft/warm music and atmospheres, I think you could enjoy it.

I actually own all these, so there's a possibility they could end up in your hands.
