I don't want to jump the gun here, but the beginning of the new Incubus album is pretty f[size=2]u[/size]cking awesome...

Okay nevermind it sucks goat a[size=2]s[/size]s.

[QUOTE=JonM]I don't want to jump the gun here, but the beginning of the new Incubus album is pretty ****ing awesome...[/QUOTE]It seems like it's going to be better than [I]ACLOTM[/I]. I like a few tracks, but there's some pretty bad ones.

Scott Walker - [I]The Drift[/I]
Fugazi - [I]13 Songs[/I]
Converge - [I]Jane Doe[/I]

I'm not sure if [i]Jane Doe[/i] is as good as [i]Petitioning the Empty Sky[/i], some of the songs don't seem as memorable to me. Though it's like twice as brutal and intense and a lot of other metal sounding adjectives.

Ryan Adams - [I]Heartbreaker[/I]

Fantastic as always.

The Drones - [I]Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies will Float By[/I]

This is a lot better than I remember. I had this idea that all the slower quieter songs were not very good, but only "Locust" is really below average. It just drags on too much. But awesome album overall.

XTC - [I]Skylarking[/I]

The first 8 songs on this are some of the best pop songs ever written, I swear. But then after that, it seems to drop off a bit, but then it finishes with "Dear God" which is cool. Still, fantastic album.

Orange Juice - [I]The Glasgow School[/I]

Yes. I really dig Orange Juice, but this album is kind of all over the place (which is not to say it's bad). I need to get an album proper I think.

Okay so "Jane Doe" alone convinces me that the album deserves a 4.5

"Big Day" is one of the worst songs they ever recorded. Its such an hard on killer after "Earn Enough for Us."

I'm digging this record by this dude Benjy Ferree. It's called [i]Leaving The Nest[/i], and it's the most refreshing indie rock record I've heard in a long time.

Scratch that. It's consistently awesome. With the exception of the last track "I Don't Care" and the seemingly unnecessary "Moscow Olympics," that is.

Yeah, the whole thing is just getting better and better with each song, and then BAM! It's all over.

Daft Punk - Discovery

the new Tom Waits and Brand New albums.

both differ in varying degrees of awesomeness

I was listening to Guignol and I am not listening to the Jazz Mandolin Project, and holy **** what a band.

Bob James - [I]One[/I]

This one is kind of hard to describe. It's kind of like jazz/jungle music, it's really cool.

Richard Hell - [I]Blank Generation[/I]

Lucero - [I]Rebels, Rogues & Sworn Brothers[/I]

Linda Perhacs- Parallelogram
Sigur Ros- Takk

These were both very relaxing to listen to today.

Rope - [i]Heresy, And Then Nothing But Tears[/i]
Jazzkammer - [i]Timex[/i]
The final song, "Happy New Year", is amazing. The audio relationship of fireworks/war combined with tactful ambience is beautiful. Great way to end the album.
