Anyone else really like Shaking The Habitual? Except for it's eyesore of an album cover. It's such a big departure from their last album (I've never listened to that Danish opera they did, so I'm referring to Silent Shout). Very interesting... Still haven't been able to stomach the 20min drone track. Not really as much as the immediate synthpop flare of Silent Shout, but there is something captivating about these songs.
there's 40 minutes of garbage packed into a pail full of delicious cheeseburgers.
fortunately the cheeseburgers are wrapped up, so you can still fish them out and eat the shit out of them.
Haha. Aside from that bothersome monolith they planted in the middle of the album, the only other song that is really non-listenable to me is Fracking Fluid Injection, and Crake/Oryx are just short interludes and of no interest to me either. A Cherry On Top is not my favourite. The remaining 8 tracks are all ace. Even the 10 minute long tracks like Raging Lung (my favourite), Full Of Fire and Stay Out Here beg to be replayed. There's lots of interesting things going on. Also I like the emphasis on percussion.
For now this is probably my favourite record this year.
i feel the same (though the monolith is technically at the end of the first disc).
wouldn't say it's AotY for me, but it's damn interesting and i've listened to it probably 5 or 6 times in the past few days.
Wrap Your Arms around me is just so motherfucking good.
listened to the new soilwork. as with all their stuff, i was really disappointed. am i the only one who thinks they lean more towards metalcore than melodeath?
on a side note, i found release dates for some metal!

Skillet's new song. It's a throw back to their old stuff, so I'm loving it!

Deerhunter and YYY's leaked.
I love Deerhunter to death. One of my favorite bands ever. But this release is just...they sound like they're trying new things and yet it sounds so very safe simultaneously. Maybe it'll grow on me but right now it's quite iffy. I mean the whole album almost sounds like throwaway demos from rainwater cassette exchange (bar a few awesome moment like Neon Junkyard, The Missing, and Monomania.) It's just, as a whole, extremely aimless. Very disappointing since Halcyon Digest is still probably my favorite album of the 2010's so far.
YYY's was pretty solid imo. A few pretty good tracks but nothing that's really gonna blow you away.

So Iron and Wine's new album, Ghost on Ghost is coming out on Monday. You can listen to it on npr here. Sam Beam's certainly changed a lot from his melancholic simple acoustic guitar songs on his first 2 albums, yet he still has a distinct sound. Still has really nice melodies but he uses much more instruments/musicians which just makes the music a little less same-y than his early stuff. Much more happy-sounding as well, and makes great use of jazz and funk influenced sections. Some rather uplifting songs which are rather hard to find in Iron and Wine's earlier stuff especially pre-Kiss Each Other Clean.
Still waiting for something new from Gaga or maybe someone like her would emerge.

For anyone who hasn't seen the latest Daft Punk teaser.

New material from her is said to be released around August, before the VMAs.
Hey y'all remember that band Fall Out Boy? Their new album came out today.

Highlights: The Phoenix, Just One Yesterday(mostly because of Foxes), Young Volcanoes, Rat a Tat, and Save Rock and Roll
It's different, it's like experimental pop something? I liked it, just don't expect it to be like Folie a Deux.
