Do Make Say Think - All of This is True
Nearly 8 minutes long is nothing abnormal for Do Make Say Think, as they constantly make long compositions blending post rock and jazz that make for great background music. This track? It's the same thing, although it seems just a bit more quiet than other songs. Great percussion throughout, with some haunting effects and a strong influx of brass. Fun stuff to listen to.

War of the Worlds - My Vitriol
My Vitriol are currently playing a few smaller gigs, whilst having performed at a couple of British festivals this year. After six years, War Of The Worlds is definitely giving hope that their soon to be released new album will live up to all the hype generated from their prior two.

King Crimson - VROOOM
First time listening to their 1995 album THRAK and this song is a great opener. Absolutely no lyrics, but I don't think this song even needs them, it's that good, there's a drums/bass and wicked guitar combination that's just awesome, excellent add-on to a progressive band, the guitar softens up on the chorus, which I think is the best moment of the song.

Esmerine - Histories Repeating as One Thousand Hearts Mend
Yet another band has been created as a GY!BE project, and as you should know, each is unique in its own way.
The whole track is haunted by cellos (Esmerine's signature instrument) and an ambient sound. By the end it gets slightly faster and it's aided by percussion, resulting in a great effect.

The Crown - Dead Man's Song
Just got this album. Really good Melodic Deathrash.

Just before clicking to check this thread I was on Interpunk trying to order the split that this song comes from. Good stuff.
Tindersticks - Whiskey and Water
At first I really could not get myself to listen through an entire song by them because the vocals would bore me before the end. I decided to try again and give them another try and I am really glad I did. The song feels like it's building up the entire time to some big explosion of music but you never really get it. I really can't explain them so you will just have to listen for yourselves.

Bloc Party - This Modern Love
I used to listen a lot of Bloc Party, but somehow got bored after discovering other bands and they went to the background. Now that I don't have my own computer for a while, I have to use my sister's. And what do you know, she has Bloc Party in her playlist, so why the hell not listen to it.
This Modern Love is my second favorite song from them, after Helicopter, and the lyrics are always as great as they are. A really calm song, which deserves a listen or two from anyone.

Hum - Stars
Beautiful music. Hum is sometimes associated with Smashing Pumpkins, but in my opinion the things that makes the former better than the latter amounts to three: The lyrics are far better, the music feels fuzzier and more dreamy due to the guitar, and the amazing, droning yet emotive voice of Matt Talbot. Stars is the epitome of all three of these things. Great lyrics, fuzzy and heavy guitar, and beautiful singing. As soon as you hear the first line of "She thinks she missed the train to Mars/She's out back counting stars" you're pulled into the song completely and you'll love almost every moment. The only part of the song I didn't like was when it ended, but Stars is still at a decent time of 5:09. This was my first Hum song and because of that it remains my favorite.

DM.....yes. I don't know what to say other than this.
City And Colour - Happiness By The Killowatt (Live Piano Rendition)
Just as good, if not better than DM's song above, Dallas just never ceases to amaze me with his vocals, lyrics and musical ability. 10/10
I'm gonna have to get onto this dallas green dude, recommend me an album anyone?
np: Hot Water Music - The New What Next (yeah the whole album)
This arrived shortly after I got Forever and Counting, and I have to say on first impressions that this one pleased me more. It's slightly less hardcore, slightly more melodic, very good stuff.

Make out with me. Now.
No seriously, Stars is the single most important song in my entire life. I consider YPAA possibly the only completely perfect album from start to finish. Methinks you should maybe request this song in my music thread... possibly...
I only have Sometimes, I know he has other stuff out there though. But definitely give this a listen asap.
The Smashing Pumpkins - Blue Skies Bring Tears
This isn't a bad song, but it's from the post-Mellon Collie era when the band was trying out new things, most notably all the electronics they threw on Adore. This was Chamberlain's return, and while the album on the whole was pretty flat, it had some gems. This is average.
7/10
Bjork - Innocence
This is going to be her new single apparently. Or is the new single. So it's obviously above the par of the rest of the album. This has a far more techno edge than the rest of the album, which contributes to its standing out even more. A very unique sound, even for a techno song.
<Previously, Bjork - All is full of love>

Shall I upload some more tracks?
Now Playing: Billy Talent - This Suffering
I used to really hate Billy Talent, with the lead singer's voice really pissing me off but they've grown on me over the years I guess. One of the better songs from the album "Billy Talent II", despite the lackluster album title. 7/10.
