Rediscovering Gold: Oldies but Goodies

--- Quote from: Jeans on 04 Oct 2008, 11:28 ---The first proper band I listened to was The Hives - the first album I ever bought was Tyrannosaurus Hives. I had only heard Walk Idiot Walk before listening to the CD, so a lot of the songs I thought were downright terrible. I burned a disc with the Tyrannosaurus Hives songs I liked - like, three or four in total - and I would play this CD, along with similar CD's of Franz Ferdinand's s/t and The Door's Morrison Hotel, constantly. I had a playlist of about twelve songs for probably a year or so. Later I bought both Veni Vidi Vicious and Barely Legal by The Hives, figuring "hey maybe it's more like Walk Idiot Walk than the rest of Tyrannosaurus Hives!". They scared the hell out of me.

It's quite surprising how the Hives' albums are only about 30 minutes long, yet still stuffed with filler.

Gorillaz - Demon Days
such a great album, and i just started listening to it again after getting into some rap.
it's brilliant!
Jackie Blue:
So, I've owned Daydream Nation probably three times in the past 15 years, and I always rated it as Sonic Youth's most boring album. I bought it again to give it another shot, and while my initial criticism remains - that it's an album with almost no textural dynamics, that it sounds like every single song is played with the same guitars, the same amp settings, the same pedals, the same pedal settings, and without actually ever turning any of the pedals on/off - I definitely enjoy it more now. It still ranks near the middle in the SY discog, but it doesn't quite bore me as much any longer.
Professor Snuggles:
Just got back into The Radio Dept. which is great news in terms of my life being better than it was before I got back into The Radio Dept. Their new album needs to leak real soon.
Also had a really good Stars of the Lid session the other day. I had forgotten how completely that band rocks my world.
imapiratearg:
It really bores you? I guess it's not one of their most abrasive albums, but it's got a pretty decent amount of depth to it. "Providence" has a pretty interesting texture to it, for example.
