Baroness are the definition of heavy metal to me right now, dear god, can't stop listening to the Red Album, the incomprehensible wails, pounding riffs and elaborate harmonised leads put me in such a headbanging, yet airy mood. One of my favourite bands to get high to.

 

Other shit I've been listening to: High on Fire, Bloodbath, being the philistine that I am only just got introduced to Enter The Wutang, and sebastiAn.

I ordered Dark Was The Night, the album full of original songs by proper indie artists, but some big names like Cat Power, Fesit, Antony and Sufjan Stevens.

 

All the proceeds go to Red Hot, an AIDS thingie. It's really a beautiful package, I'm glad I bought the physical release, they really put effort into it, and all the money goes to a worthy cause. :)

Wow...I never expected someone to be able to make "Get On Your Boots" sound good.

 

Yeah, I gave the original a listen this morning...and well, this is vastly superior. Sadly the sound of Bono's voice kills it dead for me. :heh:

I love how its impossible to rank PJ Harvey's albums in order of greatness.

 

Every time I try, I think "No way does that deserve to be at the bottom of the list - it's brilliant!".

 

My attempt to list her albums:

 

Rid Of Me

Is This Desire?

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

To Bring You My Love

White Chalk

Dry

Uh Huh Her

 

 

Even then, Uh Huh Her and Dry are both great albums.

Yeah, there's no album that you can just label as "the bottom one". Very few artists have that. Even if you count her 2 albums with John Parish, they're both really good!

I'm really liking The All American Rejects lately. I've also had a soft spot for their previous album "Move Along", and so far I'm liking their new one. I absolutely love "Gives You Hell"...though not as much as their previous songs like "Move Along" and "It Ends Tonight". I just love the guys voice so much (on tracks like It Ends Tonight), and he sounds exactly the same live, it's great.

 

 

Some of the comments on the video of him on Ellen performing it (wearing salmon pink skinnies) are hilarious. "I'm guessing the gay pill" or "When did he become a fag". C-razy.

I was giving Jason Mraz's album a listen, and I felt so mellow. I love "I'm Yours", and there's some amazingly relaxing songs on there.

Not interested in All-American Rejects. Just another of those bands that do rock-lite with clean mixing and an ok hook. I remember thinking 'Dirty Little Secret' was good when it first came out, then it was overplayed and I hated it. Hated that song you posted too.

 

I've not heard the best about Jason Mraz, but I dunno.

Bat for Lashes new album is godly. It shall be on loop for the rest of the day!

 

Yeah it's brilliant. The more I listen, the more it sounds like Fur & Gold. At first I thought there was a drastic change (dunno why), but it sounds much more Bat For Lashes than I originally heard.

 

Sleep Alone and Pearl's Dream ftw.

That AAR song reeks of commercialism, nothing like their usual stuff. The song after that on the album is awesome (Mona Lisa (When the world comes down).

Not sure what AAR stuff you've been listening to But it ain't exactly Rock. Bar a couple of heavier songs like Dirty Little Secret and Move Along it's mostly all melodic and acoustic, especially the new stuff.

 

If you're trying Jason Mraz, give the earlier stuff a listen (like Remedy), It's far superior to the new album.

Agreed, I love that song. That, and "Fallin' Apart" are probably my favourites on the album.

@ Villan - On your list of your favourite 20 No. 1 tracks on a debut album, For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic isn't on Paramore's debut album, All We Know Is Falling, but instead on their sophomore effort, Riot!. Still, it's a better song than the opener to AWKIF.

I hate that word beyond belief.. probably because it's a silly american word.

 

I also hate Paramore but thats neither here nor there.
