Cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you'd told me a comic series centered around an anthropomorphic bandana-wearing bird and kaiju monsters summoned by heavy metal would have me weeping at the end of the majority of its issues, I more than likely would've made some joke about Mad Libs or magnetic poetry. But here we are. Proceed at your own peril, and have the hankies ready, dear readers. List is my on-deck vinyl for the weekend, which is, admittedly, a bit short on metal. | | 1 |  | Snail Mail
Habit
Gave this a spin recently, definitely maintains the quality on display on Lush. If anything, being an EP, it actually under-stays its welcome a bit, so definitely gonna give it another whirl. | | 2 |  | The National
I Am Easy to Find
Have shamefully had this in plastic for a couple of weeks now, firmly intend to break the seal and commence the moping. | | 3 |  | Baroness
Gold and Grey
Finally, some genuine METAL in the mix. Also finally, snagged this record (which I had preordered) earlier in the week, after catching the band perform (most of) an acoustic set a couple weekends back. That was awesome, and rumor seems to have it that, some questionable production choices aside, the music itself here will live up. | | 4 |  | Cave In
Live At Roadburn 2018
Haven't managed to track down Final Transmission yet, but grabbed this around the same time I got Baroness, so in for what I'm sure will be a super-fun, not at all harrowing and depressing listen. | | 5 |  | Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties
Routine Maintenance
Just, y'know, keeping that happy-go-lucky streak going here. | | 6 |  | Spanish Love Songs
Losers
Ditto, but hey, at least it's up-tempo. | | 7 |  | Crown the Empire
Retrograde
CURVEBALL! So, I actually got this album for free for some reason, and have virtually no familiarity with this band aside from being aware of their name. Based on what I've seen around, not terribly optimistic, but figure it's worth a listen or two in order to decide for myself. | | 8 |  | Mastodon
Emperor of Sand
As an antidote to the potential headache #7 may induce, getting back to a record guaranteed to please. Honestly, I haven't listened to this one nearly as much as I should, which was put into perspective when I saw them with Coheed a few weeks back and couldn't remember they'd done an album after Once More 'Round the Sun. Again, shame on me, but high time for a revisit. | | 9 |  | Coheed and Cambria
From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness
Ditto, although this is one I honestly probably break out on a nearly monthly basis. Sidebar: They really need to (re?)press No World for Tomorrow to vinyl, as well. | |
