Recent Purchases but better.

Last cd I bought was Without Feathers by the Stills
It was $14.99 CDN at HMV. I bought it a few days before going to see them live. Both the album and the show were fantastic. The sound is different to Logic Will Break Your Heart. It seems more mature. Many of the songs focus on the loss of a woman, but they are extremely well-written, and do not seem mopey. They seem pensive, without being self-indulgent. Overall, this album is wonderful.

Absolutely. 10:45 Amsterdam Conversation too - my first taste of the band, brilliant stuff. Love it.

That is not actually a bad song as far as emocore goes, at least as far as I remember. I can't have listened to it for at least two years.
The last cd I bought was 'The Cult is Alive' by Darkthrone. I had heard good things: Solos! Acoustic guitar! Video!
I was sorely dissapointed however. Despite the fact that some of the songs are pretty damn fun (YOU SAY YOUR METAL IS BLACK, IT IS JUST WEAK AND LAME!), well, Darkthrone shouldn't BE fun. Nor should they be a straight-up black 'n roll Carpathian Forest rip off. I swear I actually heard the riff from CF's 'One With the Earth' on there. But it's not the style as much as the fact that Darkthrone aren't very good at it. It was monotonous and plodding, and completely lacking in the sort of atmosphere I expect from a darkthrone album. Transilvanian Hunger/A Blaze in the Northern Sky this was NOT.

I last bought me some Gnarls Barkley for fifteen bucks. As outlined in the thread I made, I believe this was a superb choice. Soul records for YES!

The last CD I bought was The Unintended album, featuring the Good brothers of the Sadies fame and the guy from Eric's Trip going all post-psychedelic. It didn't quite match up to the sum of it's parts. I wasn't into it at all.
Which was really disapointing seeing how I bought it at the local independant music place in Regina and the owner was drooling over it when I bought it.

I really didn't dig More Adventurous at all. I thought it was mediocre album with a radio-friendly (and pretty darn good) single. As Fred Mills pointed out, it was pretty ironic that the album was named as it was. Her solo album was a welcome change, and "Melt Your Heart" is definitely in the running for my favorite song of the year.
Although the Twins do freak me about a bit. The idea of identical twins singing harmonies to your songs might seem normal as a typical rock star excess, but when's it's a gentle, AM radio country album, it's a bit off.
