Woodsinho Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Inter Arma - Paradise Gallows There's a lot going on here. Sludgy doom with some black metal blasts thrown in alongside some blazing solos. Drums are outta this world. Rating: Aye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Childish Gambino - Because The Internet Really love this album. Great production (far better than camp). Canna be arsed to read the screen play though. 72 Pages? Are you eatin' tho? Tyler, The Creator - Goblin His angstier follow up to his angsty debut. Lot of songs from alter egos/personas. Written a few years ago when he was about 18/19. Features all the stuff that Theresa May banned him from the UK for. You can tell Eminem was a big influence. Dark. Really dark. Really really really dark. His newer stuff is a lot more mellow, less songs about stalking and dracula. But that's what I came for when I put on this album, songs about stalking and dracula and stabbing Bruno Mars. Taking Back Sunday - Taking Back Sunday First album they did as the original Tell All Your Friends line up, released a few years ago. Big fan of this. Singing along all the way down to Edinburgh. Iggy Pop - Post Pop Depression The stuff he was playing on Jools Holland the other month with Joshua Homme and thon drummer fae thon Arctic Monkeys. Picked it up in Fopp today. Really like it. Mellow. Cool. Yeah dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Today's commute: Reading more of the NOFX book urged me to listen to this, and it reminded me that it's the bestest punk rock record. No wait. The Decline is 2nd bestest. This is 1st bestest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 https://benseretan.bandcamp.com/ Ben Seretan - Bowl of Plums Really enjoying this fellow at the moment. Masterful guitar playing that is showy, but helps lift his songs. Heartfelt indie rock that reminds me of Avi Buffalo or a mellower Lift to Experience. 4/5 Twin River - Passing Shade http://twinriverband.com/album/passing-shade Wistful 80's indie inspired pop, puts me in mind of Wild Nothing. 3.5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Better than I expected, and I expected it to be pretty good. I wasn't crazy about 'Cool To Be You' though it had 5 or 6 bangers on it. I was worried they'd sound aged and soft on this, but it is just excellent. Consistently good, even. Not a weak track on it, and I'm listening to the special edition which has the 6 'Spazzhazard' EP tracks on the end, which brings it to 21 tracks(!!) and they're all fun as fuck. The melodies are huge, and everything just sounds great, as you'd expect from a Blasting Room record. Only thing it lacks is one or two more of the faster/weirder songs to break up the non-stop-pop, but it's a minor gripe. Really great record. 100 out of 100.

Soda Jerk Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Minority Threat - Culture Control First off, the name couldn't be any more derivative. The only way to worsen it would be to call themselves Really Black Flag. Name aside, this totally rips. Vicious no-frills hardcore with the most repugnant of vocals. Pure nasty. Awesome. Eat it: https://minoritythreat.bandcamp.com/album/culture-control Molar - Demo London girls sing sweet infectious melodies about how life is a bit shit. It is wonderful. They only have 5 recorded songs and 3 of them are on this demo. IT'S NOT ENOUGH. Molar rules. https://molartheband.bandcamp.com/ Yeah, I read the MRR New Blood section today.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 "Built to Spill - The Normal Years" is a compilation of singles and stuff. I like guitars and indie rock songs. This release gets a thumbs up from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 65daysofstatic - Music For An Infinite Universe - No Man's Sky OST Mesmerising. Perfect moments of peace mixed with a feeling of suddenness and urgency. Been weird having this on while playing Rocket League. Makes that extra time goal feel so much more important. It's perfect for No Man's Sky, and when it booms in while sentinels are attacking me I can go "oh I like this one!" Brand New - 3 Songs, Reworked A little miffed that all these years after Daisy, we still only have 3 actually new songs. Mene, it's B-side and I Am A Nightmare. These 3 songs are from 'Fight Off Your Demons', the leaked demos from when they were recording The Devil And God... Since Daisy we've had Mene as a download, then they released FOYD on tape as "Leaked Demos". Then we got I Am A Nightmare on vinyl, then 3 songs from those same leaked demos re-worked. Now they've released Mene with a b-side on vinyl too. Part of me isn't enjoying the money-grabbing from a band that seem to have hit writers block quite hard, part of me is glad I can own these all on vinyl, and part of me is glad that they've reworked these demos, as I'm a bigger fan of TDAG than I am of Deja. And IAAN and Mene seemed to be more deja-like. These songs hint that the new album might be a mix of deja and TDAG. Which I'm okay with. And it's nice to hear these songs recorded proper. Just seems a bit like a cash-grab. And they released a t-shirt with a death date for the band on it. Since Daisy they've been nothing but hype. And I'm the kind of sucker who damns the hype but then jumps on the wagon. Fuck you Jesse Lacey. I always preferred John Nolan as a teen, and now you've got me to switch sides just to break my heart. Fuck you. But keep releasing music. Even if it's old songs rerecorded. Please. But Fuck you. Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 The past few days has been spent listening only to as much dungeon synth as I can find, as I just recently found out that dungeon synth exists, and what it is. It's weird as fuck. Thangorodrim - Taur-nu-Fuin Out of all the stuff I found, I gave this a few repeated listens, as it stood out among the rest so far. I was purposely seeking music I could listen to at work that was in no way catchy, overly distracting, rocking, righteous or provocative in anyway. So no riffs or righteous drums, no vocals (or at least kept to an unmelodic minimum). I just needed sounds and ambience. Dungeon synth has been a great soundtrack whilst I upgrade my energy sabre and buy healing potions mess about with enormous spreadsheets. It's cheesy, eerie and weird, and makes my working day feel like an old RPG. I'm still undecided whether or not this, or other similar releases, are actually any good, and if I really like them. It's better than the deathly silence in my office though, which is only broken by my boss punching the living daylights out of his keyboard.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I've been listening to Dinosaur Jr.'s new album this morning (Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not), fully expecting it be alright and sound like Dinosaur Jr. Imagine my surprise when I realised that the album is actually good and not some old guys going through the motions and definitely a lot better than than some of your bum hole music. Pretty grim artwork though. 40,000/50,000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 https://benseretan.bandcamp.com/album/double-alaska More Ben Seretan, but this time some of his drone music. I like this kind of thing a lot. This gets a three green pepper rating from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Pyramids - A Northern Meadow My favourite kind of Black Metal is the type that makes precious BM elitists cry. Pyramids seem to be on a similar level to Deafheaven, because they're a bit shoegazey, and they have much cleaner, reverb soaked vocals, similar to JKB when he's singing on a Jesu record. They're not sponsored by Ray Ban Sunglasses though, so they don't get the same amount of hate, but they're still not very liked. Apart from the salty tears from the BM elite, it's genuinely a good record. Heavy, haunting, sludgy, spacey, crushing, fast, dreamy. epic. GOOD. Hooded Menace - Never Cross The Dead Not sure if this is a 100% sincere record, or if it is meant to be a bit tacky. It's fun as hell anyway. Sludgy, brutal death/doom, but it's triumphantly melodic at times, a little on the corny side. But still also GOOD. Necro Deathmort - The Capsule Normally their output is heavy and nasty, but this new one is probably their tamest to date. Much more minimalist, more ambient, less percussive but more haunting and layered. It's failed to grab me yet. Not sure it will. Not enough ear-splitting drum machines and disgusting acid bass. Scorn - Stealth This is better than the above because it has tons of ear-splitting drum machines and disgusting acid bass. GOOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Today, I've only listened to Koyaanisqatsi and Sleep's Jerusalem. Both equally fucking magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Iconoclasm by the band Iconoclasm. Tight as fuck thrash. Ripping riffs. Triumphant vocals. Great melodies. Fast as all hell. A pure bastard of a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 UFOMammut - Ecate. Magic, heavy sludge, and non repetitive despite its massive long tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 AFI - Black Sails in the Sunset I really can't stomach anything else they released, bar 2 or 3 songs from The Art of Drowning. The albums before Black Sails are rubbish. The albums after Art of Drowning are even worse. This album is a total ripper though. Those choruses are huge. All those woah-oh-ohs. Davey's voice was so vicious back then. Gotta love Dexter Holland getting himself on the record too. He just seems to yell "Go! Yaaaah! Woooo!" in the background on a few songs. He probably blackmailed them by refusing to release it unless they let him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Against Me! - Shape Shift With Me I've had a complete u-turn on Against Me! recently. Loved Reinventing Axl Rose and Eternal Cowboy, and everything else that came out around that time. Really didn't get on with Searching For a Former Clarity when it came out, and New Wave was one of the worst records by a credible band that I've heard, so I didn't listen to anything that came afterwards. almost 10 years later, I stumble across the new single/video, "Crash", and it is fun as fuck. Also realised there's only two band members I even recognise. What happened? This album is great anyway. Laura's vocals are badass, love the way the guitars weave in an out of one another. A solid foot-stomper. Which made me work backwards, and realise that Transgender Dysmorphia Blues is also great record. White Crosses I can take or leave. New Wave still sounds awful. This though, 8 outta 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
