Narp send er up bro

Anybody want to send me something that is atmospheric and melodic and maybe a little bit melancholic?

Alrighty, let's get this thang done.

I asked for something completely mind blowing. RVCA sent me this. Here's my thoughts!

So the first full listen I had of this album, I was on my iPod and doing lawn work in the hot sun. I was quite impressed, and possibly because of the weather, really felt like the album was quite... summery. Very fun, excited, bouncy... I don't know. Just very summery. It was obvious from the beginning that it was a 60's record. It had a strong similar feel to some Beatles songs or early Alice Cooper even.

As I listened to it more closely, I really began to hear the intricacies of the music. It had influences and facets all over the musical map. I was right the first time, there was a certain bounciness to the album... but there was more. Though I couldn't understand the lyrics, some songs really seemed liked they were conveying sadness, or even insanity.

Anyway, was my mind blown? Noooooot exactly.

This album was a winner. It had a few low moments, but all in all, was quite excellent. But my mind was not completely destroyed and taken over with an obsession for all things Gilberto Gil or tropicalia. That said, I did enjoy it.

Bottom line? Good album, but not perfect. 7/10.

PS- I'll get to my Astrobrite review later. Still mulling over it, honestly.

Neat, glad you liked it :-)

This thread needs some serious life breathed into it people!

Here's one for Kayleigh:

I was listening to this the other day while surfing MB and thought it might be something that would strike your interest, but be slightly out of your comfort zone (some of the songs at least). Last.fm describes these guys as "electro, rock, techno, pop" and they've toured with the likes of Daft Punk. Anyway, check your PM's and enjoy!

I'm in need of some good new music. Anyone wanna give me a suggestion?

Are you a fan of metal at all?

Not really, but i'm willing to give anything a chance.

Actually I should say I haven't listened to much.

Sorry

I was going to recommend you this, but decided to update my thread instead :p:
