2011 Music

Red Hot Chili Pepper's new album I'm With You has leaked. So far it's a letdown, as I expected. Shame, they're my favourite band (Mainly a fan of their pre One Hot Minute stuff)

anyone who is a fan of the wu-tang will immediately enjoy this, a fanmade mix of fugazi (i had not ever heard of them before this) and wu-tang, and it is fucking fantastic.

Ghost Brigade - Until Fear No Longer Defines Us
(atmospheric sludge metal / progressive metal)

*pic*

Closed curtains refuse to let the daylight penetrate through, the slight beams of light wander lost somewhere in the gray haze of the autumn. The room behind the curtains is as dark and solemn as the man sitting inside it. The floor filled with debris, the shelves bending under the weight of drained bottles of something stronger than spring water. The only thing visible on the face of the crestfallen man are a stubble replete enough to be called a beard and the clean lines carving a canyon down from his eyes - the path of tears that have dried ages ago. He has no one but the black rain bludgeoning its droplets against the only window in the room.

I think that when a band manages to create such vivid imagery into your mind during one monumental album, you can't help but to lay high expectations on what will follow. Isolations Songs is single-handedly emotionally the most raw, sullen creation I have heard up to date in genre of metal. Until Fear No Longer Defines Us, the third full-length album from the Finnish quintet, is not a lonesome man on the verge of a silent suicide. No, it is the repentance and penitence of a man on his knees, waiting for the sunlight to burst into his heart.

great album, but I'm somehow still not sold on their sound
 
It's been about 3 months since it released, but The Kills - Blood Pressures is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. If you like Metric, this would probably appeal to you as well.

just gonna repost this from something i wrote earlier,

This LP (I think) is absolutely amazing. A word to describe the layering of the tracks would be delicate, and his sound at times is quite similar the The Books. A complex mix of strings, folk samples, light drums and modern synths make for a contemplative listening.

Notable tracks: Sixes & Nines, Goats Get Lost, He Quipped, Early Morning Bassenthwaite

It was actually offered for free download, as the mediafire link provided by bandcamp proves: http://absentfever.bandcamp.com/album/time-doesnt-exist-clocks-do

enjoy

this is really cool

the banjo (i think?) in the lost, the looking is fantastic

i can definitely see the similarities to the books. interestingly this is probably the only album ive ever heard where i wish there werent vocals ?_?
 
i can definitely see what you mean about wishing there weren't vocals, especially on the lost, the looking, but i do feel tracks like sixes and nines are suited for them.

glad you enjoyed it

this is pretty good, and i like how it's a sort of strange take on post-metal. not aoty for metal by any means but it is a refreshing sound.

also buckethead has churned out two more albums if anyone's interested; underground chamber and look up there.

Yeeees, thanks alot.

Have you already listened to it?

Have you listened yet? I'm was fairly disappointed. Only 2 tracks I really liked, the rest was just kinda blaaah. Too bad :/

I've been listening to The Vaccines' debut album, and I really liked. They kinda remind me of White Lies, except not as boring. If you like upbeat indie-rock/pop check it out: "What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?". A lot of the songs are fairly short and the album only runs for ~30min, so it's a nice quick listen and fairly well paced, I think.

Yup, the same for me. "How Deep Is Your Love" is still brilliant, but the rest doesn't even come close.
 
Recently listened to the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album, I'm With You, for the first time (it leaked somewhere this week, so I had an early listen). While it isn't bad at all (it's still very enjoyable to listen to), it's just not as refreshing anymore, like earlier albums were. There are definitely some good tracks on there, but I don't really think new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer entirely fills Frusciante's gap (there's a lack of strong solos and all). Flea and Chad Smith do their thing, and together they sound tight as always.

To anyone who enjoyed previous Peppers albums, I'd suggest you give it a good listen and decide for yourself, for new listeners, go with Blood Sugar Sex Magic or Californication (first impressions matter, you know :))
 
Not sure how to feel about Tha Carther IV... after hearing 6'7' I was actually relatively excited for this....but 6'7' is the best song on the album. :/
 
I love NHM, but that is just a desperate attempt from Mangum to get some more cash.

new Primus/RHCP leaked, anyone checked those out already?
 
And since I like his music, old songs and new songs, I'll be happy to give Mangum some more cash. I don't care if people think it's a 'desperate attempt' for more money. NMH fans get new music and Mangum gets money. Win/win, and most of these tracks were written before In the Aeroplane so it's not like he wrote them specifically to get money.
 
Mangum doesn't even need to release new music for me to hand him money. I don't really care if it's a cash grab, buying that shit.
 
the new yob album is fucking excellent and has a neurosis-y feel to it, i recommend it to everyone that likes doom / stoner / sludge.
 
Well Watch the Throne was one of the most "meh" hip hop albums I've listened to all year, so that doesn't bode well for Tha Carter IV. I liked 6'7' a lot, and hoped it meant Wayne was returning to form. I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but then I saw Tha Carter IV's album artwork.... oh god....
 
Though you have to admit, T-Pain's hook in "How to Hate" has got to be one of the most catchy lyrics ever to have been sung in a song.

Spoiler:
If you need a shoulder to cry on, girl I won't listen,
I'm through fucking with these bitch ass bitches

lol
