Blue Murder - Blue Murder (Released on April 25, 1989 on Geffen Records) - 10/10

Awesome album to listen to, from start to finish. Every song is so awesome, there's no way you can ever skip a track.

Blue Murder comprised of lead guitarist/lead vocalist John Sykes (who formed Blue Murder in 1988, after being fired from Whitesnake by David Coverdale after finishing work on their self-titled album the year before), bassist Tony Franklin (who was part of the supergroup The Firm with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Bad Company's Paul Rodgers), and legendary drummer Carmine Appice, whose resume in rock and roll is very impressive, playing with various bands and artists.

youth lagoon - year of hibernation 7/10

[Raven Reaper]

Aqua's Megalomania album: 7/10.

Only negative thing to say about this is that their new videos have no Aquascope intros anymore. :P But still, they retained the same vocal bubblegum cheesiness of the 90's despite the sounds are very electro-ish and 2011 stuff much on the same level as Gaga's BTW album.

[Pintint]

Wuthering Heights - Salt

http://www.metalkingdom.net/album/cover/d95/22666_wuthering_heights_salt.jpg

9/10. Really solid album, but falls short of their earlier effort (beyond the madding crowd)

[NeanderCarl]

Mylo Xyloto. Not too bad, but not up there with Coldplay's prime. Major Minus is best track. Lots of short, pointless 'ambient' filler. Early impression: 6/10. It will grow on me, if I care to keep giving it the chance to.

[Requiem]

The Black Keys - El Camino

10/10 There are maybe 2 songs on here that I don't really listen to much at the moment. I'm sure that will change though, and there are some absolutely amazing tracks on this album. Everything I wanted out of a new TBK album and more. Gold On The Ceiling and Little Black Submarines are out of this world good.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Failure - Magnified 7/10
Paul Simon - Graceland 8.5/10

Forsth - Helvetic War.

http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/images/covers/forsth-helvetic-war.jpg

I dunno...7/10 ?

[James Diesel]

Checking out the latest Nickelback album. (They have 32 awards for SOME reason, right?)

As far as musical arrangement, I can dig it. The harder songs have at least a bit of versatility in them. Still got that NB feel, but Chad knows how to sell.

Lyrically, not as racy as Dark Horse but whatever.

I'll give it at least a 6/10. It tries

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Iron Maiden - Powerslave 9/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Arcade Fire - Funeral 8.5/10

Awesome band, wish I had paid more attention to them outside of "Wasteland" prior to Feeding The Wolves

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Joy Kills Sorrow - This Unknown Science 7.5/10

Keep Shelly In Athens - Campus Maritus 7/10

[Vastardikai]

Strawfoot - Chasing Locusts 9.5/10

Gothic Americana band that knows how to do a good song and tell a good story. All the instrumentation is top notch, and the singer's voice is kind of odd, but it works with what they're doing.

[FakeLaser]

Darkside - Darkside EP 7.5/10

Cloud Nothings - Attack On Memory 7/10

Anyone else think this album sounds mad emo?

[mitch_h]

Maybe a little, not like Taking Back Sunday or anything like that. Sound more like Rodan, Fugazi maybe even Nirvana. Plus it sounds too good (I think, I dunno I don't play any instruments) to really warrant any emo comparisons. Great album though, glad they ditched the lofi sound.

[Triple A]

Cloud Nothings - Attack On Memory 7/10

Anyone else think this album sounds mad emo?

Yeah def. Or not "emo" but just like something I would have listened to in like 2002. I like it though.

[Raven Reaper]

Die Antwoord's Ten$ion album leaked download via bloggings: Take that, SOPA!!

Some tracks like Fatty Boom Boom, the 1st aside from the singles are becoming more Prodigy meets Skrillex dubstep type of music yet the fast rapping really intensifies it to the next level.

7/10. Although others are a bit rushed and the skits are short. Still, this album has more potential than any other fucked up mainstream American rap.

Recommended listenable tracks: Fatty Boom Boom, So What, Hey Sexy, Never Like Nkemise 2, And Baby's on Fire... Trust me, some of those really sound like total dubstep Skrillex style of music. You won't be disappointed.

[Buzzkill]

Youth Lagoon - The Year of Hibernation - 8.8/10

I like this album a lot...he's got a "great ear for melody".

Sounds a bit like a non-shitty Phantogram.

[Buzzkill]

Cults - Cults - 8/10

Wrote them off for a long time for literally no reason other than their album cover made them seem like a dime a dozen indie pop rock band from Brooklyn. Which they sorta are, but all of the songs are pretty catchy and I enjoy them a lot. Have a bit of a 50's feel to them it seems.

Buzzkill, signing out.

[Pintint]

Lacrimosa - Lichtgestalt.

8/10. Not a very strong album, only one or two tracks that really stand out for me (Nachschatten and Party's Over).

[FakeLaser]

Maybe a little, not like Taking Back Sunday or anything like that. Sound more like Rodan, Fugazi maybe even Nirvana. Plus it sounds too good (I think, I dunno I don't play any instruments) to really warrant any emo comparisons. Great album though, glad they ditched the lofi sound.
Yeah, I kinda meant more first-wave emo than TBS or something. Maybe even along the lines of Cursive, or some shot

Panic! At The Disco - Pretty Odd 7/10

I've always been a fan of the first album. Every song on there was very well done.
Never got around to this album till now. I had known of 9 In The Afternoon fr a couple years, and heard bits and pieces, but now that I've gotten a fair listen, I understand everyone's complaint but aside from the fact that it's not the same genre it's still pretty decent.

[Triple A]

The Magnetic Fields - Love At The Bottom Of The Sea - 8.5/10 :)

[Immortal Moose]

WZRD - WZRD 7/10

I like Cudi's rapping but I figured his new band thing would be kind of underwhelming, and I was right. I was probably a bit generous to be honest.

[Pintint]

Arkona - Lepta.

6/10. Fun to listen, Russian folk metal, but nothing outstanding.

Memoryhouse the Slideshow Effect: 8/10. Really digging this album, but it lacks that certain something to push it into the range of true greatness.

[Pintint]

Lacrimosa - Stille

http://ehjy.com.ne.kr/artists/Lacrimosa/lacrimosa_stille_album.jpg

10, A masterpiece....

[Requiem]

I wish more music appealed to me. :(

I'm way too particular. Even music that doesn't offend my ears, and is pleasant to listen to, doesn't get more than a listen or two before I'm bored of it and back to the usual stuff I listen to. If it doesn't fit a certain sound, or the sound isn't EXACTLY what I want to hear, then I just can't get into it or listen to it more than a couple times.

The music that I do get really into, is music that I listen to for months, or years. I can listen to the same band nonstop for months and not get tired of them, and then revisit them after a couple months and do it all over again. Kind of frustrating, because I see other people seem to have really high opinions of a HUGE library of music, and can listen to anything from this huge library, but I have this really selective taste and I always wish I had more. Guess that's why I think so highly of the bands I do like, because it just takes a certain something to catch my attention for more than a week.

Did Bloom leak? Wtffff

Can't wait to listen to it

[Buzzkill]

Found it <33333

Feel kind of bad about downloading this considering its not out for another 2 months. Also kind of want to wait until it is sunny out to listen to it. Dunno. Will definitely buy it when it comes out.

[Buzzkill]

Did you find one in 320kpbs?

[mitch_h]

I haven't found one in 320, just the 160 version... just be careful because there is a version with an incomplete "The Hours". I also felt kinda bad about downloading this so early, going to buy this one as well to diminish some of the guilt.

[Pintint]

Old Man's Child - Ill Natured Spiritual Invasion.

Love this album, 10/10.

10/10.

[Requiem]

Jamey Johnson - The Guitar Song 10 out of fucking 10

This is real country music. Wow. I tried listening to this one day but just wasn't in the right mood. Came back to it some months later and it is incredible. I grew up listening to old country when I was with my dad, but I don't listen to much country anymore due to how consumed by the pop industry it has become. But this man IS country music. I could feel the pain and sorrow in some of these lyrics. None of the guitar playing was too much or too little. Everything was just honest and heartfelt, and sounded damn good.

If you like country music, this album is a must listen.

MARILYN MANSON- BORN VILLAIN
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/36/BornVillain.jpg/220px-BornVillain.jpg

Hey, Cruel World... - 8/10
A great start filled with an onslaught of sounds of distorted soul fire.

No Reflection - 6/10
"The standard over played single of the album" A good song but far from the best on the album in retrospect.

Pistol Whipped - 7.5/10
Cool intro but a bit too long, wish it had more lyrics but the vocal backup layers and music make a funky fun song.

Overneath The Path Of Misery - 9/10
Beat driven chaos with awesome lyrics. My new ringtone

Slo-mo-tion - 10/10
A--FUCK--ING-MA-ZING. Sexy, Dirty Dance, Catchy willed with beautiful layers of melody.

Beautiful song, just wish it had more lyrics. LOVE THE OUTRO.

You're So Vain - 8.5/10
Fun cover! I love the vibe of it.. so laid back rock n roll!

Gigi D'Agostino - Lento Violento e Altre Storie

http://static.guide.supereva.it/guide/musica_dance/294364.jpg

10. Love this album.

[Blitz]

Gotye-Making Mirrors: 5/10. The sound of someone starting sober, taking a lot of drugs, and coming down.

D-Sisive-Run With The Creeps: 7.5/10. Dark as fuck lyrically, but he's got some great rhymes and beats.

Frank Ocean-Nostalgia, Ultra: 8/10. I think his first proper LP will be really good. Love the sample choices here, and his voice is smooth as fuck.

[Beast]

korn - issues, one of the best albums ever made

[Swiss Ultimate]

One of the last Beast posts ever made.

Cascada - Perfect Day

http://www.freecodesource.com/album-cover/51iOOajN0aL/Cascada-Perfect-Day.jpg

8/10. The other album is better :p

[Blitz]

Motion City Soundtrack-Go: 8.5/10. I don't usually get real into many albums on first listen, but this is kind of great.

[Juan]

Calvin Harris - Ready for the Weekend - 7/10
ATB - Future Memories - 8/10
Boys Noize - Oi Oi Oi - 10/10

[Raven Reaper]

Halestorm's 2 albums: Debut - 7/10. Strange Case - 8/10.

Both albums are not much but some fave tracks and singles still stand out:

Ms Hyde
Rock Show
Daughters of Darkness
It's Not You
I Get Off
I Miss the Misery
Not an Angel
Love/Hate Heartbreak

At first when I listened to them, it's like I'm looking at Taylor Swift gone evil and metal. Lzzy Hale really does have nice vocal pipes.. And she does good covers from Skid Row to Gaga.. I just got into them last week thanks to my facebook and twitter friend who kept talking about it yet they only preferred the 1st album cos the 2nd one they say are just "generic". Oh well. I like both.

Love Bites is my absolute fave track at the moment. More energetic than the cookie cutter boring Paramore-ish bands.

[Requiem]

John Mayer - Born & Raised
10/10

I'll be shocked if he doesn't get another Grammy for this. Totally incredible and uplifting album about moving on.

[Immortal Moose]

B.O.B. - Strange Clouds - 7/10

[Pintint]

https://s3.amazonaws.com/storenvy/product_photos/319120/CDcoverart_large.jpg

A Cloud Forest - These mournful days.

7/10. It does well what it sets out to do, which is create an eerie atmospheric ambient sound, but there just doesn't seem to be enough substance there to propel it into greatness.

[mitch_h]

Liars - WIXIW- The best album I've heard all year 9/10

[Pintint]

Rhapsody - The Cold Embrace of Fear

http://www.angrymetalguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Rhapsody-Of-Fire-The-Cold-Embrace-Of-Fear-300x300.jpg

6/10. Great sound, but way too much symphonic and storytelling filler and not enough actual songs.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

There will be others that I have bought this year but I can't remember which.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Regina Spektor - What we saw from the cheap seats 6.5/10

While I thought (after a year or so) "Begin to Hope" was a pretty good album, she has yet to return to the heights of "Soviet Kitsch." "Far" was a fairly poor record and this is only slightly better. There is something definitely missing. This may be my last Regina album.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Son Volt - Okemah and the Melody of Riot 8/10

[Pintint]

Gorgoroth - Incipit Satan. 8/10.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Sara Watkins - Sun Midnight Sun 8/10

I have always been a more Chris Thile-fan when it comes to the ex-members of Nickel Creek, but this is a pretty good album. It grows on me with every listen.

[Blue Demon]

RUSH - Clockwork Angels: 9.5/10.

Great Album....flows real well, couple parts could sound just a BIT better IMO, but I think this is probably one of their best albums.

[Buzzkill]

Joey Bada$$ - 1999: 8.5/10

Hot Chip - In Our Heads: 8/10 - Straightforward, catchy, consistent...I like it

Clams Casino - Rainforest: 9.5/10

Awesome, 9/10. Really heavy/trashy with some punk-ish sound thrown in.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Megadeth - Endgame 7.5/10

[Pintint]

Old Man's Child - Born of the flickering. 10/10. Phenomenal.

[DLVH84]

Great record from a supergroup that included Paul Rodgers of Bad Company and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Frontier Ruckus - The Orion Songbook 8/10
Jenny Owen Youngs - An unwavering band of light 7.5/10

[Kapoutman]

Rocket Juice & The Moon - Self-Titled: 7/10

Very different from Damon Albarn's other projects, but incredibly fun. Sounds more "optimistic" than a lot of things he writes, if it makes sense.

[Sepholio]

Linkin Park - Living Things 8.5/10

Closer to the sound of Hybrid Theory and Meteora with several really good tracks, but a couple misses hold it back from being a 10/10 like the aforementioned albums.

[FakeLaser]

Album just gets better and better as it goes on. If you like Chill Wave / Dream Wave and you don't mind going slightly "upbeat" at points, then give it a go.

Tremonti - All I Was 9/10

Anyone who loves Alterbridge will love this album.....

Turisas - Stand up and fight. 5/10. Too pop-ish, messy, and nowhere near as good as their first two.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Four Star Mary - Welcome Home 6.5/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Blonde Redhead - Misery is a Butterfly

7/10

I would give it more, but the male vocalist is annoying.

Just looking back through the thread at the albums I put down, and I would now amend that score to 9/10. I have since become reconciled with the male vocalist.

Plus, my taste in music is magnificent.

[ooTin]

Fear of Self - Autophobia 10/10

Fozzy - Sin And Bones - 9/10 - excellent album, quite a few catchy songs.....

[Cool King]

Fozzy - Sin And Bones - 9/10 - excellent album, quite a few catchy songs.....

I quite like "Spider In My Mouth", it's a good introduction to the album and also "Storm The Beaches" is another good one, and I think a great song to end the album, unless like me you have the bonus tracks and "Walk Amongst The Dead" just catches you off guard the first time you listen to the album, after hearing the sound of the water slowly fade away at the end of "Storm The Beaches".

Speaking of "Storm The Beaches", I really like Fozzy's 10+ minute songs that they seem to be doing now at the end of their albums that also tell a story. I really liked "Wormwood" from "Chasing The Grail".

But yeah, I would also give Sin And Bones 9/10. :y:

Bought the new fozzy album yesterday too. Need to give that a couple more listens, but am really liking it.

Krystian Zimerman/Pierre Boulez - Maurice Ravel: The Piano Concertos 7/10

Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes 9.5/10

Album of the Year Candidate

[Schlomey]

The Carpenter by the Avett Brothers : 7 out of 10. Falls short of their last album by far but a solid release. A lot slower if you don't mind that sort of thing.

Dave Matthews Band - Away From The World : 7 out of 10. Lacks a really big hit but they haven't really had one of those since the mid 90s. A few amazing ballads but the majority is middle of the set list fodder for the next few tours. Not one bad song but def lacking in that lasting sound overall.

[Blitz]

Go Radio-Close The Distance: 9/10. Pop perfection.

Blaqk Audio-Bright Black Heaven: 7.5/10. Need a few more listens, but I might like it a bit more than the first album.

[GD]

Coexist by The xx - 2/5

Bring back Baria! :mad:

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Mindy Smith - Stupid Love

6.5/10

It is decent enough, but doesn't compare to "One Moment More" or "Long Island Shores".

I have been listening to the new self-titled Mindy Smith album, and it is a stronger record than her previous effort. I'd go for 7.5.

Other new (atleast to me) records I have been listening to:

Baroness - Blue Record 7/10
Eugen Jochum/Chor Und Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin - Carl Orff: Carmina Burana 9/10

[Pintint]

Elffor - From the throne of hate.

10/10.

Circa Survive-Violent Waves: 5.5/10. It is a Circa Survive record. Kinda boring.
Imagine Dragons-Night Visions: 6.5/10. More than adequate, but just slightly.

but you suck so no

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Yes, I think you are a dick as well.

But anyways, I saw them last month supporting The Dum Dum Girls, whilst I was in Copenhagen, and I thought they were pretty decent. Better live, methinks. The singer almost spilt his drink on me after their set, the dozy sod.

Actually, the singer and his brother reminded me of you at the time, Fakelaser.

[FakeLaser]

They live down the street from me. I have chilled with them a couple times. They are big in this local music scene. I've booked them for shows a couple of times. They own and live in the DIY venue Shea Stadium.

They don't make music like this anymore, phenomenal black metal from Norway.
The only thing that detracts from this album for me is that the lyrics are in Norweigean.

9/10. Really awesome album. I know Dimmu get a lot of criticism for moving away from the pure BM sound, but I love the symphonic style they've acquired. Really enjoyable album, and I liked the guest female vocalist on the Gateways track. Wish they would have a permanent female vocalist...
