I've never liked The National - I've always found them to be intensely boring - until High Violet. It's not perfect, the last two songs in particular are pretty awful, but the good stuff is really, really good. I think I've been converted.

The last song is my least favorite, but 'England' is 2nd best on the album imo

Majesty and Decay gets better with each listen. The production is clean, but a great compliment to Immolation's sound. Each instrument sounds like a goddamn force of nature

In the (new wave of) old-school death metal vein I've been enjoying Profound Lore's Vasaeleth. They sound like labelmates Portal except you can tell that there is actually music going on through all the murk

I haven't heard too many albums from this year. School sucks.

But the ones I've ehard are pretty damn good imo:

Alcest - Écailles De Lune... Very beautiful Metal, and I really dig his screams.
Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones... This shit is heavy!

High On Fire - Snakes For The Divine Ok, the production is quite bad, but the songwriting and performance is still amazing imo.

FROST HAMMERRRRRR!

I am sort of divided on her, 'cause on that album there are three or four songs that are fucking fantastic, with the rest seeming like filler

In other news, the new Watain album has leaked. It proceeded to blow off my tits and sacrifice them to elder gods. Traffic at 10

New Starkweather (This Sheltering Night): awesome. New Trap Them (Filth Rations): awesome. Check them out if you like your hardcore metallic.

So a new Grinderman album comes out this fall

McTaggart · « **Reply #614 on:** 26 May 2010, 09:35 »

So there was a post in the mediafire thread about the new Tame Impala album. I don't get that band. Didn't they stop making prog for a reason? Is there really any reason to make more?

Oh and I accidentally dissed the band while talking to the mother of their bassist.

Tom · « **Reply #615 on:** 26 May 2010, 13:40 »

I find the band totally inoffensive, like a children's choir.

You are a stronger man than me to find children's choirs inoffensive.

And look where you are now.

(I don't know where you are now. Newfoundland?)

Okay, I don't hate all children's choirs. Some are probably enjoyable. But so help me god if I have to deal with two dozen crack midgets screaming at the top of their lungs again without being anywhere near to any key harmonic to the human ear, I am going to rage so hard and tear out the seats bolted down in the auditorium and throw it at the stands full of little monsters and get banned from stepping foot on school grounds again.

The opposite actually, BC.

Anyway I just wanna mention Grum is great and his new album is totally worth getting.

To be fair to prog what Tame Implala make is more like psychedelic jam-band or something which I think we can all agree is far more insidious.

It's actually really sad because Tame Impala are like the retarded cousin of the Perth sludge/doom/crust/stoner scene which is full of fucking amazing bands, including Pond which has a couple of guys from Tame Impala in.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #622 on:** 26 May 2010, 23:31 »

I mean it is not like I think a band like Cease would even want to be signed to a label like Modular and getting titsloads of plays on triple j but uh I guess what I am saying is that at least some members of Tame Impala definitely know better and are choosing to suck regardless, and that is sad.

De_El · « **Reply #626 on:** 27 May 2010, 08:15 »

It is highly amusing that the guitarist from Sleigh Bells used to be in Poison the Well, BUT srsly their shit is just so big I love it. "Beach Girls" is better than "Kids," though. I don't really like how they mixed that track when they re-worked and re-named it.

The Major Lazer/La Roux mixtape is a decent listen. I was kind of expecting there to be more bang to it, but it turned out more pop than that. Vulgar though it is, I think the re-edit of Quicksand is probably the stand-out track on it.

scarred · « **Reply #627 on:** 27 May 2010, 11:02 »

M.I.A.'s showboating knows no bounds. She's recently gone to the extreme of posting the home number of a NY Times reporter on her Twitter feed after said reporter came out with an article that was a little less-than-savory at times.

This is clearly the first time in history that an artist hasn't been written about to their satisfaction.

Either way, her album is definitely one I won't be buying when it comes out. And, given the absolutely awful singles "XXXO" and "Born Free," it might not even be worth a download.

Ugh.

JD · « **Reply #628 on:** 27 May 2010, 11:47 »

A band called Shining released a album called Blackjazz and it is fucking great.

Johnny C · « **Reply #629 on:** 27 May 2010, 14:01 »

yeah "born free" is awful, "xxxo" is really bad, and she's basically a 34 year-old petulant child who's all vocal about rebellion while being engaged to the heir to the seagram's fortune???

Johnny C · « **Reply #630 on:** 27 May 2010, 14:01 »

I got Fyfe Dangerfield's album. It's like a late 1960s/early 1970s singer-songwriter album. Nothing earth-shattering, but immaculately produced and quite lovely.

speaking of Tweak Bird does anybody have their first album who might be willing to up to the MF thread? I have Reservations and like it alot but I heard their first one has more sweet drum fills and stuff, so I'd love to hear it.

JD · « **Reply #635 on:** 28 May 2010, 11:42 »

I thought Reservations was their first.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #636 on:** 28 May 2010, 12:07 »

pretty sure they had another one before that. I remember reading a review of Reservations that said it had less crazy drum fills than their first.

Aw dang, Atheist are about to start recording a new album, with a probable 2010 release date

Edit: Also, the new Nightbringer album is ridiculous amazing

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #641 on:** 02 Jun 2010, 06:15 »

According to an email from the Decemberists' mailing list, "recording of LP #6" is "well underway." No release date but that sounds like late this year to me. As long as it's not as hyped conceptually but ultimately disappointing and forgetable like the last one, this could be a pretty good thing.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #642 on:** 02 Jun 2010, 11:12 »

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

The last one was possibly the best thing they have done. But I think the next one will be out early next year, especially considering the wait between The Crane Wife and The Hazards of Love was almost 3 years.
