Registered 7 years agoSmashing Pumpkins. Had a flatmate at uni who seriously abused this band with over playing, which he also did with Queens of The Stone Age (only the one album of theirs though). Put me really off both, but with enough separation I've really found a lot in both catalogues I love.
Started with Mellon Collie, then Siamese, and currently on Machina randomly, which although the production is a racket, I think is really underrated. In fact Everlasting Gaze gives me goosebumps to this day. Remember liking the singles but thinking the rest of it was a bit boring (would have been unfortunately rather into nu metal at this point), but listening back it's superior to most of the heavier stuff released at that time. -

Registered 14 years agoQueens of the stone Age were probably my favorite band, they've got a nice mix of catchy hooks and heaviness that I like. I've seen them about 15 times including in Amsterdam, I even got to interview them whilst at Uni.
I was gutted when Homme kicked a photographer during a live performance, barely listened to them since. -

Registered 7 years ago@PierrePressure same feeling tbh. He does appear to have expressed remorse since, whether you believe him is up to you. A bit ironic given the reasons he sacked Oliver.
I think Villains is a very good record despite its different production.
Edit number 3: autocorrect will not let me do Nick's surname.

Registered 10 years agoThe Sunday’s’ debut album , long while since I had this on, utterly lovely. Those guitars, that sweet voice and glorious melodies.
Only downside is realising that I bought it 30 years ago

I really like this album. I thought at first it would be a novelty but every time I go back to it it still sounds fresh. Ridiculously fun. It’s kind like the Mars Volta and Mayhem combined and made and album in space.
Oranssi Pazuzu because I want to travel through the fabric of reality in my own head while I work... we're going to have some interesting looking slides tomorrow...
Been listening to the new Steven Wilson album. Some good stuff in there. It’s a really well Sequenced album. I wasn’t overly keen on listening to a couple of tracks in single form but when placed in an album they come to life. Album reminds me a little of some of Roger Waters solo stuff.

I know its not a common opinion but I still don’t feel it with Blood Mountain. Remission and Leviathan are both perfect and it feels like just a collection of some songs.
They’re very different albums but Crack The Skye possibly rivals Leviathan as their masterpiece for me. -

Scandroid - The Darkness and the Light
I’m only one listen through, and I started out thinking it was quite similar in sound to the previous albums, but there are enough stand out tracks that shake up the formula a bit. It’s a good album.
Recommended if you like Gunship and similar bands or need some 80s style synth pop. -

I've been listening to Slowthai's Tyron album a fair bit.
It didn't grab me straight away on after several listens there's a message that really starts to shine through. Like even conceptually. The first half is braggadocia with occasional cracks, then the second half explores those cracks. In great detail.
The split nature of the record really speaks to the cyclical nature these kind of feelings and I feel I can relafe actually relate quite a lot.
Like 8/10 or something -

Registered 16 years agoWRT a conversation about 'streaming Vs ownership' we had recently in the audiphile thread... I had interestingly visible algorithmics recently. I have been listening to the twin peaks soundtrack because its great. 'Shadow' by Chromatics is particularly great.
The alogrithm knows I think its great and suggested I listen to this, presumably because they are on the same record label, which I also think is great. Score one for AI.

He did put on a good show - the songs included plenty of old Roses stuff so we all left (mostly) happy, but afterwards I kind of felt I understood a little of why John Squire might not have wanted to stay in a band with him...
The anti-vax stuff... what a prat. -

Yeah, I'll be ordering Uh Huh Her, I really like the Dry demos but it's impressive with some of the albums, how close the demos are to the finished recordings, she's clearly very complete in her songwriting (or tells producers to GTF.gif)

Registered 20 years agoIt’s been out for a while, but I’ve recently picked up Christopher Tin’s newest album ‘To Shiver the Sky’.
For those that don’t know, he’s the guy who wrote the main theme songs for Civ VI (which is on this album) and Civ IV previously.
It’s classical, but with lots of cross-over influences so definitely accessible, if that’s the right word. The songs are on themes of flight, so it begins with that Civ VI theme (Sogno Di Volare) which takes its lyrics from the writings of Leonardo Da Vinci. The final track uses the JFK speech - “We Choose to go to the Moon”.
Anyway, I’m very much enjoying it. Here’s Sogno do Volare:
https://youtu.be/WQYN2P3E06s
I’d probably recommend anyone new to Tin’s music to start with “Calling All Dawns” (this album opens with the Civ IV theme, Baba Yetu) but all his stuff is awesome. -
