The Offspring's coming out with a new album. Here's hoping that it makes up for everything after Ixnay.
The beginning of the decline for me was Ixnay, and Americana only continued their downward trend into average pop-punk.Ixnay was definitely their best album, but what's wrong with Americana?
i really just can't get on board with the magnetic fields when it's hi-fi. distortion is one of my favourite albums, but ive tried and failed many times to become enchanted by 69 love songsSo um, it turns out the catchiest song of 2012 so far is about a straight man who falls for another dude in drag >_>
While I do for sure enjoy 69 Love Songs, my favorite Magnetic Fields album is probably Holiday, which is filled to the brim with cheap sounding (and I mean that in the best way possible) synths. It's not the guitar feedback distortion of, well, Distortion, but it might be worth trying if you haven't already.i really just can't get on board with the magnetic fields when it's hi-fi. distortion is one of my favourite albums, but ive tried and failed many times to become enchanted by 69 love songs
he does have a really nice voice though
The full album's been leaked for a couple of days just fyi ;PI am pretty excited for the new Magnetic Fields as well. Andrew in Drag is a pretty decent single and I keep exploring Merritt's work and I find I like so much of it. I could never listen to any other 3 hour long album as much as 69 love songs and distortion/charm of the highway strip are both well-crafted too. He's so unemotional too, it's bizzarre...
If Liquid Swords 2 is anywhere near as good as OB4CL2 it probably will be an aoty contender.new death grips track get got (DeathGripsVEVO, 2012 really is the apocalypse) seems pretty terrible, hopefully the rest of the album is more interesting
also liquid swords 2 is probably coming out this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
edit: wrote get shot instead of get got, boy do i stereotype with hip hop
