Swans - The Seer

This album is an incredible journey. If you have 2 hours free and are open to more experimental music, I highly recommend it.

I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL

Aw yeah, that's some swans.
 
I stumbled upon Bon Jovi's album "This Left Feels Right", a bunch of remakes of his best hits. The rendition of "Wanted Dead or Alive" is outstanding. I'm not even a Jovi fan, but I love the song. Sorry, not cool or new, but just had to share.

Holy crap this album is so great. After Ramona Falls new album, I was worried they wouldn't have the same chemistry post-break up. Boy was I wrong.

The songs probably aren't as quite as adventurous as they would have been had Justin stayed in the band, but the songs are full of confidence and, most importantly, each standout from each other while also feeling whole as an album.

(The first two tracks, and, while great, don't even compare to some of the later ones)

Grizzly Bear - Shields

I didn't know how I'd feel about this one after hearing the first two songs. Well, it's awesome. It really flows quite well, and the end track, "Sun in Your Eyes" is fantastic! If you like Veckatimest, you should enjoy this.
 
If anyones a new Swans fan check out Swans Are Dead. Normally I don't recommend live albums first but they've always been a band that made some suspect production decisions and a lot of these live tracks are definitive ones
