I get to see the top band in a week. Should be a good time, hopefully.

Jay-Z - [i]Reasonable Doubt[/i]

[quote=Kyle;13297198]Silversun Pickups - Carnavas

I was worried I had exhausted this album, but it's still great after a little break from it.[/quote]

I felt the same way about a week ago!. . . but I think I may have to wait a little longer before I listen to it again.

Right now I'm digging TV on the Radio, Explosions in the Sky, Phoenix and Professor Murder. Oh, and Muse.

Dj Shadow - Endtroducing

Getting ready for both free shows tomorrow.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars;13298955]Metallica - [I]Master of Puppets[/I]

so yeah this is pretty average. There are only two awesome Metallica songs in their whole discography, and they are "Creeping Death" and "One".[/QUOTE]

"One" is really shi[COLOR="White"]tt[/COLOR]y.

"Master of Puppets" and "Battery" are brilliant.

I never liked "One" either, it was just like a less good version of "Fade To Black". I'd say I prefer "Sanitarium" aswell, but the solo in that song is one of the worst ever.

[QUOTE=Zappa]"One" is really shi[COLOR="White"]tt[/COLOR]y.

Sad thing is, "One" is the best song on [I]...And Justice for All[/I].

[QUOTE=Eliminator;13299993]Sad thing is, "One" is the best song on [I]...And Justice for All[/I].[/QUOTE]

Well yeah, but that album is possibly Metallica's worst.

Close to, at least.

[QUOTE=Kyle;13296303]Yeah, that album didn't hit me the first time through either. But it's a real grower, one of my favorite Hip hop albums now.[/QUOTE]

Was the other way around for me; I really liked it at first (and for a while), but now I barely listen to it. Just a select few tracks now and then.

I've listened/'m listening to to a bunch of stuff (mostly albums I bought over summer and have only had the chance to listen to now, but a couple downloaded to see what all the fuss is about) that might make it onto an 85-94 list, if I make one. Right now though, I'm listening to Cardiacs - [i]Sing to God[/i] (1995) for the first time, and so far it's excellent. Double album though (kind of), so I don't have high hopes for it lasting to the end of the second disc.

That's very untrue. They're not among their best songs. Master of Puppest is a good album in my opinion.

Having begun reading Innocent When You Dream, I think I will go on another Tom Waits craze. I need more of his albums.

I heard about The Cardiacs before but the only song of theirs I heard was "Angleworm Angel" and it's really unnerving so I didn't really listen for more stuff.

[QUOTE=Zappa;13300107]Well yeah, but that album is possibly Metallica's worst.[/QUOTE]

omg no way

I remember playing that on repeat all day long. Every song is a little mini epic.
If you want to go worst, pick anything from Load onwards.


digging Camille, BRMC

At least Load, Reload, and St. Anger suck gracefully. AJFA has this certain pretense.

[QUOTE=Zappa;13301046]pretense.[/QUOTE]

what.. explain

[QUOTE=YDload;13300818]I heard about The Cardiacs before but the only song of theirs I heard was "Angleworm Angel" and it's really unnerving so I didn't really listen for more stuff.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. They're quite odd. Though I don't think Angleworm Angel is one of their better songs (to be honest, it's halfway through the second [i]Sing to God[/i] so I was kind of just waiting for the end by the time I heard it), they're pretty tiring to listen to anyway.

I thought I should check them out because one of their old guitarists played in a couple of my favourite bands (the Wildhearts and Silverginger 5), whose solo album I'd picked up at some point (an album of Zappa covers, disarmingly close to Cardiacs sound than most other stuff I've heard). I'm surprised at how much I like them so far (2 or 3 albums in), given the similarity of their sound to his solo thing.

But yes. Odd, they are.

I liked Load and Re-load....they had some really good songs. Plus, they're free of some of the metal cliches I associate with their other albums.

Yo La Tengo - "The Story of Yo La Tengo"
I'm digging the whole album, but this song is just amazing. What a great closer.

[QUOTE=asymm;13301447]Yo La Tengo - "The Story of Yo La Tengo"

I like the album plenty too, though it's definitely not one of their best. The first and last tracks ("Pass the Hatchet" and that one) destroy the rest of the album.

I'm listening to The Heads' [I]Under the Stress of a Headlong Dive[/I] right now. Talk about psychadelic [I]rawk.
[/I]

I prefer Pass the Hatchet to Story

The Slackers have made some of the most faithful ska/rocksteady since
1970.

maudlin of the Well - [I]Leaving Your Body Map[/I]
Mare - [I]EP[/I]

Dino Jr. - Where You Been

Butthole Surfers
Melvins
The Cows
Sicbay

[QUOTE=Jacaranda;13302820]Dino Jr. - Where You Been[/QUOTE]Where it counts, you usually dig the same albums as me. :cool:

People seem to have mixed oppinon about that album, but I think it's one of the best Dino J records.

Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped
Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid Of You and I Will Beat Your ***
Slick Rick - Behind Bars
Erik Sermon - Double Or Nothing

[I]Marquee Moon[/I]

"Elevation" is the only track that I don't care for. It's still good but sub-par to the rest of the songs.

Yes, that's probably true. There isn't a bad song on the album, but if I had to pick one that's just slightly below all others, it would be "Elevation"

[QUOTE=Kyle;13303481]People seem to have mixed oppinon about that album, but I think it's one of the best Dino J records.[/QUOTE]

Its good, and I like it more than anything else after Bug. But the first 3 albums kill it. Not The Same is one of my favorite Dino Jr songs though.

I'm listening to The Clash just now, because of that dreadful thread about it in punk.

[QUOTE=Bukowski;13304502]Its good, and I like it more than anything else after Bug. But the first 3 albums kill it. Not The Same is one of my favorite Dino Jr songs though.[/QUOTE]

Is their first album any good? I've never bothered checking it out.
