This is the rock album of William Street repertoire, and it's okay. It mainly composed of Indie rock bands like The Good, The bad and the Queen(awesome acoustic peice) and The Rapture. However it doesn't feel as cohesive as the Danger Mouse album, though still highly enjoyable.

Also would it kill you guys to post a little recap of what these fucking albums are about? You don't have to type a paragraph, but at least reveal the genre. Most of the reason why the music threads here tend to be great( The album of the year threads are consistent my favorite on GAF) is becuase it's a great way to learn about new music. Seeing 5 posts in a row just of album art is depressing.

[Lv99 Slacker]

This; as far as new stuff goes.

 

[mugwhump]

I'm sure many of us are unfamiliar with artists that other people swear by... and I realize many of you have terrible taste in music but I'm sure there are at least a couple of amazing albums being posted in these threads that I'm missing.

Having said that, I really think more people should add a one-liner about the sound/style of the album they're posting.

I super-agree, I don't have much music and would like to find some neat stuff in here. Just saying what type of music it is and maybe how highly you reccomend it would be really helpful.

 

[Ogni-XR21]

Puscifer - V is for Vagina

Fantastic album, it hit a nerve with me and my life-situation I'm in right now. Highly recommended!

i've bought a couple items of music recently

1) The Passion of the Christ (Original Score)

2) Chill Cafe - Hiding Place

this is a collection of praise and worship music with a downtempo, chilled twist and some jazzy elements. very cool.

Tim Fite - Over the Counter Culture

I saw him open up for My Brightest Diamond last week. The guy's a fucking loon but he's got some catchy tunes. Currently have 'In Your Hair' on repeat.

Download the album here.

^ was listening to a Gui Boratto guest mix a minute ago.

It's pretty disappointing

 

[Operations]

Other than Big Sky and Resound, not of much worth.

 

[Lambtron]

UGK - Super Tight...., Ridin' Dirty, and Too Hard to Swallow
LSD March - Empty Rubious Red and Suddenly, Like Flames
Jay-Z - American Gangster
Burial - Untrue

chromophobia is an excellent album. and 'the trentemoller chronicles' is off the hook. trentemoller's 'the last resort' is an awesome album, but a bit too mellow, chronicles works as a dance album.

 

[tetrisgrammaton]

npr - all songs considered on itunes, its unbelievable how many good concerts they have on there. right now... iron and wine

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

I take back everything I said about this being, a step down from Diary. I've listened to it a bunch more, and, its surpasses Diary of Alicia Keys, by a good green mile. You can tell that she worked with Stevie Wonder(A couple of the songs, scream him), and whether or not you want to use that as a slight against her, thats fine, but, no denying that she has a voice. This album is sooo fucking good, and easily one of the better R&B albums, in years...

 

[roosters93]

^^ Only heard No One and thought it was pretty good.

For fans of epic, powerful, indie rock with a piano/small string section: ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***

i enjoyed this. thanks.

i'm listening to...

kylie minogue - x

kenna - make sure they see my face

MIA - KALA

 

[Alucard]

This EP leaves me feeling hopeful for their new album in February. I wasn't too crazy about it at first listen, but I'm really digging it now. It helps that they recorded in Montreal and had help from members of GY!BE and the old drummer for Arcade Fire. Sounding good. These guys have done no wrong so far, and I'm sensing a hat-trick with the new record next year.

 

[JavaMava]

For fans of folky, spacey indie rock with clean vocals: ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***

For fans of epic, powerful, indie rock with a piano/small string section: ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***

For fans of epic, slow, sludgy metal:

For fans of clean, well-written indie rock with a sound straight out of the 70s:

hmm, i need new hip hop.

This my friends is the way to recommend albums. I'm going to the store.

Following advice and quoting myself...

I´ll recommed try listening to some Kahimi Karie

She has a childish voice and almost always sings whispering, either in japanese, french or english.

From what i´ve been listening is amazing the range of music genres she covers, from 60-70s psychodelyc pop rock ("do you know the time? metaphors";"good morning world") to some mix of folk-rock with philharmonikers ("elastic girl") to poppy songs with bossa nova touches ("mike always diary", "take it easy my brother charlie") to kinda britpop/frenchie touches ("le roi soleil") or ambient moody experimental atmospheres like those from Radiohead or Björk (Kahimi´s latest album) or early 80s electronic sounds ("the simphonies of beethoven").

 

[Peru]

Burial's Untrue IS the album of the year.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Sometimes everything else just has to take a backseat...

 

[Fireblend]

 

[Toy Soldier]

TLDR.

Britney Spears - Blackout

Same here; my day one favorite on the album, Get Naked (I Got a Plan), is still my most-played, but I've been listening to Perfect Lover a heck of a lot more lately than I did in the first couple of weeks. I've loved it all along, but it's been growing on me even more.

Album of the decade, as far as I'm concerned. I'd love to see the release of Piece of Me give the album some actual legs sales-wise. We'll see...

Anyway, beyond that:

Treat Me Right and Everything But Mine in particular. Great to hear BSB record a handful of solid, safe, hooktastic dance songs again. Nothing that rivals the epic Max Martin productions of old, but still, a great change in pace from the relative bore that was 2005's Never Gone. Even the mid-tempo AC rock-tinged songs actually have strong melodies and better vocals this time around to reduce the yawn-factor. Major props to Howie D. for FINALLY shining in a lead vocal (Trouble Is).

Pat is great, but DJ Paul and Juicy J. are not quite up to par this time around...for the most part, the beats are pretty weak and their usual strong melodic touch is rather boring here. Still, this and the most recent Crunchy Black record (From Me to U) are the two definite shining moments in this recent lull in quality for HCP.

 

[Atrophis]

Burial - Untrue
MRK1 - Copyright Laws

Electronica

I'm hoping they're saving the good production for Last 2 Walk.

A prog mix from Eelke Kleijn - truly amazing stuff, this guy is one of the best producers out at the moment and I love his tune selection in this one.

 

[Eric P]

apparently they're the band of the moment or something. a friend linked me the Let's Dance to Joy Division video, so I had a friend pick this album up for me as she was in London. I really really like it. The lyrics are clever, the music is just the jangly amount i enjoy and there's a really strong pop sensibility
