Kasabian - Velociraptor 8/10 Better than i expected, couple of tracks i wasn't too keen on but overall a good listen. Justice - Audio Video Disco 5/10 Very disappointed after their last album, tracks just aren't as interesting or clever. |
Rate the last album you listened to out of 10

Registered 14 years agoJohnny Foreigner vs You 10/10
Best thing ever
Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness 7/10
It's a grower and has also improved since I heard the songs live. Will probably be a 9 in a few weeks. -
Insomnium - One For Sorrow 9.5/10
Metal album of the year for me. -

Registered 12 years agoM83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming 7/10
Some really pretty tracks, but quite a bit of filler in the back half. My first listen, though, so it may grow on me. -
Soulsavers - Broken 7/10
The Mark Lanegan songs are all either 9 or 10s but the album tails off toward the end a little too much. -

Deicide - The Stench of Redemption
Some blistering lead playing from Ralph Santola, probably their second best album after the self titled debut (although it certainly is more dynamic). 9/10
The Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics
Been getting into these guys properly over the last while, some fine, brain melting pop. 9/10
Sqaurepusher - Numbers Lucent (so it's an EP and i cheated)
Some quality tuneage, always puts me in the mood to play Streets of Rage 2.gif)

Very disappointed by this and not a patch on their earlier stuff, without Clint the band is nowhere near as good. Only one standout track for me 'Disguise' the rest are instantly forgettable. -

There are some great songs on it, and with time it will become brilliant. Quite different to rib, but you start to expect that with each LC! album now. Breaking up has clearly left Gareth a bit angry and upset.

Ooh, didn't realise they had a new album out. How's this compare to their previous stuff? I loved Waited Up, but wasn't as keen on Grace... I saw them a couple of months back in Cambridge and they were pretty poor, but that was mostly down to the venue (I think), they've always been a bit hit and miss for me live.

Really? Ah well, I'll skip it then. Shame. I used to love the Poppies.
Must dig out "This is the day...." when i get home for some nostalgia. -

The Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics
Been getting into these guys properly over the last while, some fine, brain melting pop. 9/10
The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
If I was to sit down and think about listing my all-time favourite albums, this might well make the top 10. 66 minutes of pure, consistent brilliance.
No filler. No single track sounds out of place. The majority of the tracks are the finest they've ever written. I love it!

Their show at Off The Cuff in summer was the best gig I've ever been too, and a few mates went to their album launch gigs last weekend, and it was also supposedly the best thing ever. But then, us lot are probably the biggest JoFo fans around. We buy all the crap they sell. Regarding the album, there are still similarities to the first album, but a good few slower songs. They have changed a fair bit, but are still as awesome as ever. You should probably listen and judge for yrself though, because as I say, I'm one of the hardcore.

And i agree with you with about The Suburbs too. Been a big fan of AF since the self titled EP, but let this slip by me for some unknown reason. Spotted it a few weeks ago and figured i'd get back up to speed.
Holy hell i was missing out. Some expertly crafted songs, and some really evocative music/lyrics. I can practically feel my youth slipping away listening to the title track and its reprise.
10//10 from me too. -

Has some well written songs on it, but the style is aweful and I was left disappointed. The songs they performed on Jools Holland with raw instruments were far better. -

Some really good tracks and some quality lyrics, but one or two of the songs just don't work for me. Nice having a song with Sage Francis, very interesting cover of Kate Bush's Feel It at the end too. Worth a listen for sure. -

As a fan this is just what i wanted, back to their best with some great tracks. Wish i'd seen them live on their recent tour. -
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet 10/10
Probably my favourite from PT.
'Anesthetize' and 'Way Out Of Here' are of a particular magnificence. -

I dont think Steven Wilson has ever been the strongest lyricist. Though conceptually, Fear of a Blank Planet is largely based from a childs viewpoint of growing up in a modern world, so the lyrics work just fine.
