Wu-Tang Clan - 8 Diagrams

it's a grower musically, and only a handful of clan members still deliver hype verse **** and the others either sound really bored or can't gel with the beat

*Shels - Sea of the Dying Dhow

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan;15603482]*Shels - Sea of the Dying Dhow[/QUOTE]

I always thought they just mistyped "Show" one time and thought it looked cool, but then I looked up Dhow and realize it actually makes sense. :(

Album is really good :)

The Jesus Lizard - [I]Down[/I]

the best place for you is the hell outta my sight

[QUOTE=Master Arkam Kannon;15602185]this was my favorite thread. i was just checking in to see how much our tastes have changed.[/QUOTE]

The first fifty pages of this thing are like a time capsule of this board. I liked when we did the favorite albums by decade thread, too. That was kinda neat to see how tastes changed but the old ones always disappeared.

Anywho.

Michael Yonkers - Microminiature Love
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Underground

I remember listening to something by Ariel Pink a long time ago and really not liking it. I kinda like this. Some stuff more than others. Mostly the stuff that sounds good on headphones and stuff.

Simon Finn- [I]Accidental Life[/I]


This is one of the best things I've experienced in life ever.

Iron & Wine/Calexico - [I]In The Reins[/I]

This is beautiful.

Ghostface Killah - [I]Ironman
[/I]
I don't know why I didn't like this the first time I heard it. It quite possibly could be my favorite Wu.

Black Dice - [I]Load Blown[/I]
Supersilent - [I]8[/I]

Some of the better albums of the year.

What are Black Dice like? I seem to have them in my head as something I should listen to.

They're probably not like anything you've heard before. I can't think of another group who sounds like them. Their earlier stuff is experimental/noise type music and the new one is mostly electronic and it has a lot tribal rhythms but still quite experimental. Quite inaccessible stuff, but it's awesome.

I only have [I]Load Blown[/I] and [I]Beaches and Canyons[/I], both are different and I'd recommend either.

Hmm sounds interesting. I may have to check out [I]Load Blown[/I].

[i]Creature Comforts[/i] is my favorite Black Dice album, "Treetops" is stunning.

Sonic Youth - [I]Sister[/I]

Jawbreaker - Unfun

load blown sucks

Giraffes? Giraffes! - [I]Superbass!![/I]

I wish the music was as exciting as the name.

Okkervil River - The Stage Names
Ulver - Shadows of the Sun

Shadows of the Sun blows.

Burial-Untrue

Really cool album. I also read his interview, he seems like a really cool guy, although I disagree with his thought that "underground music" should be really difficult to find

Rodan - [i]Rusty[/i]

haha what the hell is this band? first track is really slow, Slint-like instrumental. then the next song comes on and its a post-hardcore freakout. i dunno but i like it a lot.

[QUOTE=Zmev;15607836]Giraffes? Giraffes! - [I]Superbass!![/I]

I wish the music was as exciting as the name.[/QUOTE]Oh yeah for sure, I find myself trying to like it more because it's such a good name.

Been digging Foals loads the last few days. Not sure how well known they are in the US or anything but they're getting noticed a lot here, one of the most exciting acts of 08 methinks.

You'd like June of '44.

no i wouldnt. thats the same line of reasoning i got from being a Minus The Bear fan but it actually doesnt quite add up. June of '44 just isnt as good as you think i think they are

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased;15605291]Hmm sounds interesting. I may have to check out [I]Load Blown[/I].[/QUOTE]

I could never get into Black Dice. They've got a couple really neat songs but most of it is just too obtuse for me.

Still listening to Ariel Pink. Our radio station got Scared Famous and I wanna hear it.

why do all of the Police's songs fade out?

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan;15607206]Jawbreaker - Unfun[/QUOTE]

So good.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse - [i]Rust Never Sleeps[/i]

Neil Young - [I]Chrome Dreams II[/I]

Oh well I'll see how I go, they seem to be hit or miss based on the few comments in this thread.
