Zihuatanejo by Fightstar
Trying some new alternative rock/post-hardcore again and so far these guys haven't struck me as that good. Quite basic even though I enjoy the vocals. This song is from their newest album and I have to say that their older music is a lot better.
6/10
Achilles Lung by Million Dead
One of the best post-hardcore bands that have existed. Too bad they broke up and it doesn't seem like they'd be getting together again, for a while at least. Achilles Lung is a song from their newest album Harmony No Harmony and the sound is a lot clearer than in their older production. Yet, the song doesn't turn too poppy and maintains a good grip on their style. If you want to try this band out, start with this song.

Lazarus by Porcupine Tree
One of the only songs that I could imagine myself crying to. Such a beautiful piece by such a versatile band. I don't know if it's the lyrics or the music but seems like everything is working well with this song. Wilson's voice is just so fragile and it really does wonders here. After all, his voice isn't the most powerful you could look for and I like it when he realizes it himself and uses it. If the whole Deadwing album was as good as Lazarus, I'd probably like it more than In Absentia.

Fall Out Boy - Yule Shoot Your Eye Out
Bit early for Christmas songs, but I started listening to the good Fall Out Boy albums and other songs.
"The gifts you're receiving from me will be; one awkward silence; two hopes you cry yourself to sleep staying up waiting by the phone. All I want this year is for you to dedicate your last breath to me, before you bury yourself alive. Don't come home for Christmas, you're the last thing I want to see underneath the tree. Merry Christmas, I could care less."

Pink Floyd - Echoes
This is really just a fantastic song, it starts off kind of cryptic, climbing to a climax then drops to a sort of smooth funky part, fades into faint eerie voices, slowly climbs out of that to another high point, changes into something similar to the beginning, and closes with the eerie voices with the main melody softly playing. The lyrics, present in the beginning and end, pretty fitting and poetic. All in a short 23 minutes. 10/10 really, and probably my favorite Floyd song. Wish I was better at describing music though
EDIT: Funny little fact, Roger Waters accused Andrew Lloyd Webber of stealing the daaa-da-da-da-da-da part of the song and used it in The Phantom of the Opera (if you listen to the song of the same name as the musical and this, you'll recognize it), but didn't sue

In reference to your avatar: I'm pretty sure China will be a democracy by the time they release that album, which tbh I'm sadly not looking much forward to anyways, after all is it really GNR anymore?
