Posted August 27, 2008 Kid A is an amazing album, but then everything radiohead is pretty much amazing. I don't have Pablo Honey or Hail To The Thief and the only one of the 4 I have that hasn't clicked yet is OK Computer. I just don't love it yet. The rest are amazing. In particular The Bends.

Posted August 27, 2008 At first I wasn't so keen on OK Computer, and didn't get the hype. I mean I liked them, but didn't see why people were putting it above the others as favourite. I do now though. Also, get HttT now. Best of the lot imo. Although it's somewhat like OK Computer, in that it takes a while to get into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only one I feel I really know is In Rainbows, and The Bends is coming close, but loads of the songs still drift into one for me. I like knowing albums.

Posted August 28, 2008 @ Dog-amoto - I couldn't be hard for Death Magnetic to be much better than St. Anger. That album was awful. And it was all because they went with that producer guy. What's his name again? argh.... he was responsible for producing the new Offspring album as well. Something Rock. Anyway, he has a way of ruining albums. Looking forward to Death Magnetic though. Been getting back into listening to Metallica lately. Anyway, I haven't bought any CDs in ages. Must really go and do so. I still need to pick up My Winter Storm by Tarja Turunen and Supernatural by Santana. Just been listening to my older albums. More Santana and for some reason Creed.

Been getting back into listening to Metallica lately. Bob Rock. He produced all their albums from the Black Album to St Anger so you cant really say that because those albums werent half as bad as St Anger. I know theyre nothing compared to the older stuff though. He just influenced their sound too much on St Anger so now theyre with Rick Rubin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2008 Rubin is fucking wicked. The 4 albums he did with Jonny Cash are some of my favourites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2008 rick rubin is a pieve of genius in human form. so many of my absolute favourite albums were produced by him. He is the one reason I have not written death magnetic off already. Although iirc he did also do stadium arcadium, so maybe he's lost the touch... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2008 I'm loving the AceK Remix of "I Kissed a Girl" - it's so odd actually hearing Katy Perry sound like an actual woman and not a drag queen half the time. I would love to hear this in a club, would be fantastic. This is the guy that did the "Take Me On The Floor" Remix I linked earlier in the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2008 I fail to see how The Ting Tings got signed. For one she's barely above speaking and she also has a really grating voice. That is all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2008 Because it's great pap you mean. Not even her vagina is worth listening to, it most likely sounds as dull and irrelevant as her music. And it probably doesn't look much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2008 Am lovin' Black Stone Cherry's new album at the moment. Good, old fashioned, no nonsense rock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2008 I like the 3 singles by Ting Tings, but they get old quick. I think I'm seeing them next month, see how that goes. --- Sometimes when I hear Uninvited by The Freemasons, it makes me sad that the average teen has only ever bee nexposed to it's blandness, when they should be listening to the amazing original. I actually get saddened by it. But then, I jizz over pictures of Alanis' face. Uninvited - Alanis Morissette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2008 I'm going for something totally new and letting out my musical frustration by listening to Crystal Castles. They're fucking insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 30, 2008 I'm going for something totally new and letting out my musical frustration by listening to Crystal Castles. They're fucking insane. You hadn't listened to them before? They win me. --- I can't decide how much I like Noah And The Whale. I love songs like 5 Years Time, and the fact Laura Marling is backing vocalist makes them 10x better for me, but often the guys voice drags on ever so slightly. I dunno. I'm still listening to it, so I must like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2008 I've always tried to dislike Kylie Minogue's music. I'm not sure why, I mean when "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" came out I loved it, but I've always made a conscious choice not to listen to her. I was utterly bored tonight, so I changed my mind and went on youtube in search of some of her videos from Fever to her latest. Most the singles are "Meh" to "Good" but I'm in love with "Slow". I remember loathing it when it was released, but wow - from the video to the track itself it's brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2008 Kylie Minogue has some very good pop songs. Slow is one of the best, but Chocolate is my favourite. Also In Your Eyes is good too. It's just like stepping into a dream, it's beautiful, the melody does me in. ---- The awesome Tricky jokingly covered Slow for his last album too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 1, 2008 Oh. My. God. I went to the last day of the Hydro Connect Festival yesterday evening, and met up with Chair and other friends. One of the greatest music experiences of my life. Elbow (hated the sound of what I heard before seeing them live...great fun, but not my kinda thing) Goldfrapp = One of the 2 bands I specifically wanted to see, and they were stupendous. Great!. However, Sigur Ros was probably the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life, whilst also hearing it. I'm not a fanboy, I just like them, but NOTHING compares to this. Not even the Bjork show (more emotional attachment), but this was ecstacy. Amazing. Never lagged, just a dreamsoundscape of beauty and anger and awesome and love. If they are anywhere near you playing, It will be worth almost anything to go and see them. I'm still reeling from it. Absolutely unspeakably unbelievably terrific. The greatest thing I've ever been to, ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
