El Opium:
Charalambides-Unknown Spin
Not quite as good as I hope but still pretty good. Makes good writing music, quiet extended improv with wordless vocals. The track Magnolia is really good. I think I need a cold night were I feel warm and comfy to really appreciate this.

Tanakh-S/T
I probably should have started with one of Tanakhs releases that has actual songs on it. This album has two disk with one song on each. The Muisc is mostly improvization built around an instrument built from the remains of a destroyed piano with accompaniments.

from your reviews, i think i want both ov those.  where can i get them?

the Cure : Faith
not bad, but not particularly good, either.  i adore the cure, but this album left me wishing i'd bought joy division's closer instead (that's what i had in my hand when i spotted 'faith').

Nine Inch Nails : the Downward Spiral : Deluxe Edition
the redone artwork is amazing.  i can't say anything about the 5.1 mix, because i don't have a surround system.  the second disc is yummy, but most ov the tracks are available elsewhere (and i really wish that, if they had to üse tracks from further down, they could've at least üsed tracks that were only on the french öne, 'cause mine's in shit shape).  as for the three demos, 'ruiner' was interesting, but after the first minute it sounds almost exaclty like the final version, 'liar' (reptile) sounds thee exact same, except the vocals and some ov the sampling are rougher, and 'heresy' is quite an interesting look at the process--whispery vocals instead ov screamy, and more groove than noise overall.

Nine Inch Nails : the Fragile
to replace my fucked up copy.  to anyöne who does not already know:  you must obtain the fragile.  it's beautiful.

Nine Inch Nails : Leaving Hope
this is actually something i put together myself--two CDs ov some ov the prettiëst nine inch nails songs.  if anyöne's curious, i'll post the tracklist.

Sigur Ros
i only bought it because a few people have mentioned them to me.  i had no idea what to expect.  i'm listening to it now, and this is really pretty.  i like.  it soothes me.

Skibas_clavicle:
Yah, Faith isn't the greatest Cure album, I've gotta say my favourite is either Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Bloodflowers or Wish.
JOY DIVISION = Teh SEX

Beano:
The Walkmen - Bows and arrows
Ride - Nowhere
Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism

The Walkmen are not as good as I'd hoped having heard the singles, they've got some nice blissed out guitars but the singer's voice doesn't go with it at all.

Liked Transatlanticim on first listen, haven't listened to Ride yet.

kikanjuuneko:

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Yeah, I know what you mean. I tend to like them a lot more than a lot of the other emo-type bands they're grouped with. This I found out when one of my friends found out I liked them and spent ages trying to introduce me to 'better' emo bands. I still have the scars (and the Funeral for a Friend CDs) to prove it.

Actually, Funeral For A Friend can write some good riffs when they really want to. I must say their first EP was way better, if you ask me, though. More screams = better, at least in my world.
