Most of the stuff on there isn't at like like the Bjarnason record (which is indeed awesome. probably my favorite of the year so far). The Dunn album is very minimal, Stars of the Lid-ish, Motion Sickness of Time Travel will appeal to Grouper fans in a big way (think reverby murk with haunting female vocals), Altar Eagle is scuzzy electro-pop, The North Sea and Ajlvsga are super dense, heavy, caustic soundscape drone stuff, Yellow Swans is epic, shimmering noise, Forest Swords and Emeralds are synthy electronics stuff, beat heavy and beautiful, Higuma is big, deep Americana drone. Everyone should listen to all of them!

never been a huge drone fan but most of the rest of that sounds worth a listen, thanks for the brief write-ups!

finally got around to listening to the Janelle Monae album after seeing something 'bout it in the paper today, wicked record

I feel better now about this new Sufjan thing despite the lackluster new EP because, despite the fact that that's possibly the worst album title of the year, I like this track a lot.

I can't really place my feelings for Forgiveness Rock Record. I suppose it's a bit of ehhhhh feeling. I don't hate it, nor do I love it.

Anywho, I'm really digging the new Cancer Bats. Feels like their best yet.

Scarychips · « **Reply #860 on:** 28 Aug 2010, 07:27 »

I just thought Forgiveness Rock Record was boring, to be perfectly honest. I lisened to it numerous times in different situations. (ie. having a complete, focused listen; listening to it while playing video games, while doing stuff, you know?) I didn't enjoy any of those listens. I'll try giving it another chance, because I hear the "grower" term used a lot when describing that album, but I don't think it'll make my top 10.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #861 on:** 28 Aug 2010, 08:45 »

Seeing them live twice has definitely helped I think, but dang I do like that album.

SWOON! at My Gravitas · « **Reply #862 on:** 28 Aug 2010, 22:10 »

Read the interview with Julie Christmas in this month's Decibel, one of her responses suggests that 'Bow' will be the sole Made Out of Babies-sounding track on her solo album.

Oh well, I guess. My erection remains unflagging

This. I expected a lot from this album too, since I'm a huge BSS fan. I feel like it's too all-over-the-place, and there really aren't many standout tracks.

Anyone heard that Boris collaboration with Ian Astbury? They sold it at the show, but I was saving my money for Amplifier Worship.

Give me a week. I ordered it from Southern Lord on Friday.

The packaging is superb (of course. Stephen O'Malley did the artwork (and the poster that came with it!), the vinyl is excellent (180g, and pink), Ian's voice is great, but my favorite track is the cover of "Rain" with Wata on vocals and Michio Kurihara on guitar.

Side note: Is Michio Kurihara actually a member of Boris now, or does he just guest on everything they do?

Vuk · « **Reply #868 on:** 31 Aug 2010, 11:45 »

I think he just guests everything. I'll have to check that collaboration out, though. There's still a lot from Boris that I haven't heard...like that Wata split called "She's So Heavy".

David_Dovey · « **Reply #869 on:** 31 Aug 2010, 12:01 »

It seems like he's an unofficial official member of the band by now. He tours with them, plays on all their recordings, but they still always list him as a separate entity, even on the show posters.

sean · « **Reply #870 on:** 31 Aug 2010, 20:55 »

i mean i dont know if you guys have already talked about this but goddamn i just put on the new this will destroy you and holy shit it actually rules

Vuk · « **Reply #871 on:** 01 Sep 2010, 07:19 »

Communal Blood or Moving On the Edges of Things? They're both amazing, but yeah. I'd link to it right now, but I'm at work and it's blocked, so go on Youtube and check out "Black Dunes". There's a professionally-filmed video of it by some dude from Montreal, and I think it's my favourite song from them yet.

sean · « **Reply #872 on:** 01 Sep 2010, 07:30 »

i wasn't aware communal blood even existed. moving on the edges of things is awesome though they sound like fucking romance of young tigers its so good.

Vuk · « **Reply #873 on:** 01 Sep 2010, 07:34 »

They put it on their Myspace a while ago, and I figured there would be another song on the EP, but I think it's just that. I swear, there are borderline black metal moments on Communal Blood. TWDY just get better and better.

Vuk · « **Reply #874 on:** 01 Sep 2010, 10:24 »

Also, anyone heard the album Rocket Fire, by a band called Ceremony (non-hardcore)? It came out this year, and I checked a bit of it out yesterday - fantastic stuff if you're into stuff 80s dreampop and shoegaze. It also really gives me a The Jesus and Mary Chain vibe.

McTaggart · « **Reply #875 on:** 01 Sep 2010, 11:37 »

So I finally listened to Sally Seltmann's new album. It's pretty much exactly what I expected, which is certainly not bad. All her work balances right on the edge of how precious I can handle. She's got a beautiful voice though and she enunciates really clearly and I just love that.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #876 on:** 01 Sep 2010, 12:01 »

She kinda reminds me of Olivia Newton-John or something and I dunno how to feel about that

Recording of Ulcerate's 3rd record is nearing completion, and they've set up this really rad page for people to keep track of what they've been up to

I am under the impression that it will be more atmospheric than Everything Is Fire, and that suits me just fine

Anyone listen to the new Weezer album? The whole thing is on their Myspace page. I kept hearing it was actually pretty good from people, but I listened to about half of it, and then just skimmed through the rest, and it was lame.

Dude reviewing the latest Fear Factory album as Gene Hoglan's solo debut

I wasn't that impressed by it, sounded exactly like Strapping Young Lad except an SYL from an alternate dimension that never had anything to do with Devin Townsend

Edit: Also, holy Christ, Electric Wizard have a new album coming out November 1st and it will be called Black Masses

Edit Edit: Also also, Deathspell Omega are releasing a new album, the last record in their trilogy, on November 8th. It will be called Paracletus. Here is the artwork

My boner has split off into multiple hydra-boners that would likely grow back were they to be lopped off

I am so disappointed in this album as a whole. The Drug is a fantastic track but the rest of the album lacks any cohesion or structure and it just starts benignly and tails off into nothingness. Such a shame as I love the other Royksopp albums and had such high hopes for this one.
