honestly, based on the new songs they put out last year, no. i hope i'm wrong but boy were those bad.

I listened to one of the singles off of the new one and it was wretched.

Afraid to say, but I agree. I saw Massive Attack live a few years ago and they were the best fucking thing ever, but the new stuff sounds utterly plain and a complete shadow of their former selves.

New Four Tet on the other hand fuck yesssssssssssssss. Love Cry was brilliant

Koremora · « **Reply #156 on:** 22 Jan 2010, 15:48 »

The new Four Tet is mind-shittingly brilliant. Seriously, it may be the best record he's ever put out.

Scarychips · « **Reply #157 on:** 22 Jan 2010, 17:14 »

The New Pornographers' Together is coming out on May 4th, 2010. And it includes guests (Will Sheff, Annie Clark, Zach Condon, to name a few).

I hope it'll be good (ie, better than Challengers (which was alright actually)).

michaelicious · « **Reply #158 on:** 22 Jan 2010, 17:27 »

I thought Challengers was a good record. They tried some new things, but the songs that sounded most like their other albums were the best. "My Rights Versus Yours" is a great song.

scarred · « **Reply #159 on:** 22 Jan 2010, 17:51 »

I haven't liked the New Pornographers since The Electric Version. Now that's a good record.

Scarychips · « **Reply #160 on:** 22 Jan 2010, 18:00 »

You didn't like Twin Cinema? I thought it was their best one. Mass Romantic is pretty great, but I listened and enjoyed Twin Cinema far more than the former.

I don't know, I too was disappointed when I first heard Spitting the Atom, but it's been growing on me. And of course they'll never make another Mezzanine. But I quite liked Paradise Circus, and the new one Girl, I Love You is also pretty good.

i'd settle for another 100th Window, which in some ways i like more. and i don't mind when a band changes their sound (Dead Can Dance, Portishead) but i just do not like the new direction they're going with. "girl i love you" is actually pretty good except it just sounds like they took music from Mezzanine and a vocal from Blue Lines. in other words, it's totally listenable but not really exciting.

KvP · « **Reply #163 on:** 23 Jan 2010, 14:23 »

I've got the new Four Tet on my desk, awaiting judgment for radio play. I hope it's good, because Four Tet was probably the most boring producer to come out of the 90's "IDM scene", if you can call it that. He averaged about one good song per record up until the split with Burial, which was awesome.

tricia kidd · « **Reply #164 on:** 23 Jan 2010, 14:27 »

i was beginning to think i was the only person who didn't love Four Tet. and i really, really, really like 90s IDM/ambient/etc.

I heard a lot of her new songs a couple days ago when I saw her live. She is really quite amazing live, by the way, partly because she seems like an awesome and fun person.

michaelicious · « **Reply #166 on:** 23 Jan 2010, 19:30 »

There are videos floating around of some of the new songs for anyone not lucky enough to see her live (me). They sound nice.

Phaedra · « **Reply #167 on:** 23 Jan 2010, 20:22 »

They're way more love-songey than what I'm used to from her. Still, I'm sure they'll grow on me, the backup instrumentation is really interesting too.

Oh shit, Enslaved just started recording a new album.

Speaking of IDM, Autechre are also set to release a new album, which is good because Quaristice was my favourite thing they've done (though I never much cared for much of their late 90's/early00's stuff) and hopefully it will be a continuation

Also I am digging the new Four Tet. No real singles have jumped out at me so far but as an album I'm very much enjoying it.

I put the Zombie in Zombiedude.

JD · « **Reply #174 on:** 26 Jan 2010, 01:01 »

I seem to be leaning towards metal nowadays. It's a phase I am enjoying.

Looking up the four tet album and mehhhhh. Upload it to mediafire maybe

JD · « **Reply #175 on:** 26 Jan 2010, 01:02 »

Nick you should try Giant Squid by the way.

scarred · « **Reply #176 on:** 26 Jan 2010, 02:03 »

This one?

They seem nice enough. But I start giggling uncontrollably about a minute into any given metal song. It's kind of sad.

scarred · « **Reply #177 on:** 26 Jan 2010, 02:05 »

I'll definitely mediaf!re the Four Tet at some point. Probably maybe.

Aren't I'm From Barcelona putting out a triple as well?

2010: Year of the 3xLP?

Scarychips · « **Reply #180 on:** 26 Jan 2010, 10:22 »

Oh hey, they are! It's called 27 Songs from Barcelona, and starting from tomorrow, they'll release one free song from the record(s) every day for 27 days. The whole package with the artwork and the little objects looks pretty rad too.

Hm

New track isn't the best thing ever, but its sure as hell not bad.

Still stoked.

if you mean recent Spoon, try listening to their mid-90s stuff. they're pretty good now, but that era of their career was generic as all get-out.

I shouldn't like Surfer Blood's "Astro Coast", but I really, really, really do.

Koremora · « **Reply #187 on:** 30 Jan 2010, 12:24 »

Ditto, except I didn't even have any reservations about liking it. About damn time somebody picked up Weezer's dropped torch of Blue Album guitar pop and ran with it.

Tom · « **Reply #188 on:** 30 Jan 2010, 13:41 »

Oh god, it's good to know that I'm not alone. Also, I'm really looking forward to Titus Andronicus' The Monitor - a Civil War concept album, indeed.

scarred · « **Reply #189 on:** 30 Jan 2010, 13:43 »

I feel like I should like Surfer Blood more but I'm kind of apathetic towards that record. It's nice, but nothing really hooks me.

jj nº3 is giving me a perpetual boner, though.

Koremora · « **Reply #190 on:** 30 Jan 2010, 21:00 »

Holy fucking dicks the new Efterklang is BLOWING MY MIND. A completely departure from their old sound. It's all sparse, spacious orchestral indie pop now. Spoon production! Everything's clearly defined and it all breathes so nicely. They even have grooves! So excited about the new direction. It suits them perfectly.

sean · « **Reply #191 on:** 31 Jan 2010, 19:58 »

i completely disagree.

i'm on track 5 and i couldn't be more disappointed with this album. this isn't efterklang, it sounds like some shitty coldplay ripoff band trying to be even artsier than coldplay or some bullshit like that.

point is this album is straight up terrible.

Koremora · « **Reply #192 on:** 31 Jan 2010, 20:16 »

Oh well. I stilll love it. Woo!

tricia kidd · « **Reply #193 on:** 31 Jan 2010, 21:51 »

sadly, the new Massive Attack pretty much sucks. and i liked 100th Window.
