What music are you listening to?

[Tyrone]

Never finished Welcome to Forever so went back and listened to it all. Good stuff. Heard good things about The Electric Lady so started a minute or two ago.

[KONGO]

Finally checking out Kvelertak's Meir. Very disappointing. Not "bad" but not even good. Boring more than anything.

[Plubby]

The Top Gun soundtrack. Brilliant.

[SRN]

If Midget can do it, so can I. I also stole the "Upcoming" list thing. Because I like stealing. But fuck if I am going to do the whole format thing. Also, I am terribly behind on so many albums but school and other things have been keeping me busy. I am not doing anything during the weekend, for the first time since like, January or something, so I will hopefully have time to catch up with lost time there.

[KONGO]

Listening to Janelle Monae's The ArchAndroid and digging it about as hard as I think I'll dig any R&B album. That said, the hell is up with "Make the Bus", the Of Montreal song? Does that even bear listening to? I skipped right past it.

[METALMAN]

No, don't bother with that. I mean, I don't dislike it as much as others (I know GoGo hates it) but it does get a bit annoying sometimes. There's a couple of other duff songs but such a long album is nearly always going to have filler. Most of it is very good though. If you like what you heard it is worth looking out the first EP or the album she released last month.

[KONGO]

After not really digging their early stuff, Coliseum's newest one Parasites is pretty good. They definitely opened their style up.

[thatshortguy]

I would update the list, but I have been on such a Cake bender these last few days.

Like, Ruki levels of Cake here.

I...I mean

[KONGO]

The Roots' Undun. Good album but not breaking above that for me. Never been huge on the Roots but always respected them.

[KONGO]

Sluts of Trust, a random band I found when I first started looking around in Spotify. Just re-listened to the album. First half of this album is stronger than the rest, all around pretty good. Aggressive noisey indie rock for fans of that stuff.

Also they might be the creepiest looking dudes ever.

[VerbalPuke]

I just gave How Green Is The Valley by the Men They Couldn't Hang a spin, and man that album is so fucking good.

It's a toss up between Shirt of Blue and Going Back to Coventry as to which is my favorite from the album. Either way, these guys were really good and very much an underrated band. They would appeal to fans of the Pogues, though the sound and style is a bit different (even if they're essentially playing the same type of music).

[METALMAN]

Jeff Buckley, eh? I used to listen to him when I was sixteen. I've barely listened to him since. You know, because I listened to him when I was sixteen.

But! I listened to Grace tonight. And you know what? It was really rather darn gosh good. I had forgotten. The songs are interesting. They have twists and turns. It probably won't take as long for me to listen to it next time. Apart from his cover of Alexandra Burke's "Hallelujah". It's not as good as I remembered.

I also listened to the new Anna Calvi and Haim ones. Both good but nothing sticks out so far. I'll have to give them another go.

[Tyrone]

Hahaha, holy shit, I never knew what this meant as a kid.

[thatshortguy]

Two very excellent efforts from Moving Mountains and The Weeknd. I don't know if both will make it, but at least one has got to go in The Ten.

That Weeknd album has single-handedly reaffirmed my taste for R&B/Hip-Hop. Very good piece of work.

[tristy]

The Weeknd is four albums in already and none of them are bad. All of 'em are pretty damn solid records.

[KONGO]

Japandroids' Post-Nothing. Has a start of three great songs, especially "Wet Hair," but drops off afterward. Solid album I suppose. Last song is annoying, though. It's very clear they wanted a real closer-type song and boy... they did one. Certainly wouldn't want to put another song after it.

[SRN]

I heard Post-Nothing once; I don't remember a thing from it. Maybe I should check it out again.

[METALMAN]

I really liked Celebration Rock. Been meaning to check backwards.
