Slayer - Reign In Blood. 10/10 - One of my favourite of all time.
Dimmu Borgir - Abrahadabra. 9/10. Prefer Dimmu being all big budget. Glad I caught them live last year.

[Asmo]

Dordeduh - Dar-De-Dah - 8/10: Negura Bunget-ish black metal; Band's formed by two NB members; Soothing, chilling, inspiring.

[Gertner]

Deadmau5 -"Insert Album Title Here" 8/10. Not as good as 4x4=12, plus pretty good. LOVE Professional Griefers

[Pintint]

Black Circle - A Distand Wind.

Good black metal, but most of the songs sound the same on this album. Could use a lot more variety.
6/10.

I recently went to an EDM seminar with some world renowned DJs (Richie Hawtin, Carl Craig, Loco Dice, etc) and they spent so much time just shitting on Guetta. Hilarious.

[Mooияakeя™]

Beach House - Bloom

9/10

Amazing album.

[Pintint]

http://www.metal-archives.com/images/7/6/6/5/76659.jpg

Bombensturm - Machtwerk. 5/10. Totally average, nothing really stands out, which is a shame because everything on the album is good, it's just all extremely bland.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_27L_frzBWG0/S10WEyfuqBI/AAAAAAAAB70/yu42VBLyGIY/s320/Front.JPG

Bahal - Striges. 9/10. Really good stuff and I enjoy the italian language vocals.

Quintessence Mystica - The 5th Harmonic of Death. 10/10. Freaking incredible, never thought an album this good could come from Ukraine of all places.

Also impressed that it's pretty much a two man project,

It would be cool if the dude with the pipe smoked in when in concert

[The Condor]

"Holy Diver" by Dio is one of the greatest hardrock albums ever and I just listened to it in its entirety for the first time (I had previously only listened to about 5 songs or so). Easy 9/10

:y:

Now listen to Last in Line, Dream Evil and Magica.

[The Condor]

Pintint, you seem to be into the metal scene, are you familiar with Swedish group Sabaton? I've seen them and they are phenomenal, and their album Art of War is one of the best to come out in a while. Easy 8/10.

[Pintint]

Ashdautas - Shadow Plays Of Grief and Pain.

5/10. Poor production quality combined with generic music make for an extremely average album that seems to try too hard for the "kvlt" sound of older albums.

Pintint, you seem to be into the metal scene, are you familiar with Swedish group Sabaton? I've seen them and they are phenomenal, and their album Art of War is one of the best to come out in a while. Easy 8/10.

I've heard a few Sabaton songs but I am not all that familiar with them. The few songs that I've heard never caught my interest. I just listened to the title track of "Art of War" and it's a bit too "pompous" (power metal-ish) for my taste. Sort of like Hammerfall, good sound, but not something I would listen to extensively.

[The Condor]

Check out "Ghost Division" "Coat of Arms" "40:1" and "Midway". See if you like those tracks.

[Asmo]

Pintint, i need to spread some reputation around. Great choice in albums. Mind listing your 2012 best of?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Al DiMeola - Land of the Midnight Sun 8/10
Fine Arts Quartet/Cristina Ortiz - Faure: Piano Quintets 8.5/10

[Pintint]

Marduk - Serpent Sermon.

Just found out that I somehow missed that Marduk had a new album out this year.
Pretty good, I need to listen to it more, but first impression is easily a 9/10.

[Bad News Gertner]

I recently went to an EDM seminar with some world renowned DJs (Richie Hawtin, Carl Craig, Loco Dice, etc) and they spent so much time just shitting on Guetta. Hilarious.

I would have killed to go to that. Guetta is such a bitch and he acts like he's a martyr by totally selling out. The shit he used to do with Chris Willis on vocals was amazing. But I guess since Willis isn't Rihanna Guetta thumbs his nose at him.

[Bad News Gertner]

Kaskade "Fire and Ice" 6/10. Kinda disappointing.

Armin Van Buuren "Trance Classics 6" 10/10. Brought back so many great memories

Armin Van Buuren "Trance Classics 7" 7/10. This should and might be the end of these. A few good tracks from Armin, Marco V and Above&Beyond but it seems like he's pretty much run out of classics that were good.

Ferry Corsten "WKND" 9/10. Not as good as Right of Way which is my fav Trance album of all time, but pretty amazing. Brute, Not Coming Down and Live Forever are the standouts.

[Johnny Vegas]

Damn, that Kaskade Fire and Ice is disappointing? I was about to go get it too =(

May give the Armin Van Buuren 6 a listen b/c i may be the only person in the world who's unfamiliar with his work.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Tom Waits - Blood Money 8/10
Patricia Kopatchinskaja - Bartok/Eotvos/Ligeti 8/10
Maria Kliegel/Nina Tichman - Faure: Cello Sonatas No. 1 and 2 8.5/10


You won't find any trance crap near me.

[Schlomey]

The Lumineers (2012)

Not one bad song on the record. Unique band to come out of 2012 and have a mainstream hit song.

9/10

Very much enjoy everything about this album. A little Mumfordy with a little folky bluegrassy feel at times. Quite enjoyable in the background.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

There is something rather contrived about Mumford and Sons, and The Lumineers. I don't know what it is, but it stops me from listening to them.

[Schlomey]

There is something rather contrived about Mumford and Sons, and The Lumineers. I don't know what it is, but it stops me from listening to them.

Adjective
Deliberately created rather than arising naturally or spontaneously.
Giving a sense of artificiality.


The same could be said for any and all music on the radio. Sometimes it's fun to crawl out from under the rock known as "indie" and just enjoy some awesome Earthy music that was created with basically no intention of succeeding.

Do you think M&S thought they would get to perform with Bob Dylan 2 years ago? No. They may have shared some commercial success but it came from a very natural place. Me thinks. And that is after much research on the roots of the group.


The Lumineers may very well be a ripoff of Fun. or Mumford & Sons, however.

[Pintint]

Boo Clan - Angel City Rippers. 8/10.

[Bad News Gertner]

Damn, that Kaskade Fire and Ice is disappointing? I was about to go get it too =(

May give the Armin Van Buuren 6 a listen b/c i may be the only person in the world who's unfamiliar with his work.

Keep in mind I'm more of a Trance fan and am picky when it comes to house.

That Armin cd is a compliation album of old Trance songs from his radio show. It's fantastic though.

[The Condor]

There is something rather contrived about Mumford and Sons, and The Lumineers. I don't know what it is, but it stops me from listening to them.

I totally get this. There was nothing like it and now there's a handful of groups playing banjos and dressing like Amish people and Minonites. Same thing, however, can be said for grunge in the early 90's (Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarder, Pearl Jam) and thrash in the early-mid 80's (Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax). Success begets success and one group can kick start a pervasive movement as it seems Mumford and Sons with the acoustic, modern singer/songwriter genre.

[Schlomey]

Conor Oberst, on a smaller scale, brought back folk in america before Mumford came along. And old crow medicine show too.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

It is more a case of that I feel the likes of Mumford and Sons are just putting this act on, and don't have any real substance to backup what they play.

Same can be said of manufactured pop. But you know what you are getting with such "artists."

[Triple A]

The Slits - Cut (1979)

10/10

Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor.

Absolute instant classic, 10/10. :heart:

[OssMan]

Sufjan Stevens's five-disc Christmas Sing Along album, very good "takes" on Christmas classics, also like ten "original" Christmas songs pretty crazy, very Sufjan

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Death Cab for Cutie - Plans 7.5/10

The Florestan Trio - Three French Piano Trios: Faure/Debussy/Ravel 9/10

[Bad News Gertner]

NOFX-Self Entitled 7/10
The Descendants-Milo goes to college 8/10

Milo goes to college is their best album IMO

Just listened to Lagwagon's "Blaze" for the hundredth time. LOVE it.

[Shisen Kopf]

I haven't heard of anything any of you people listen to. I assume its all noise and not nearly as good as the last tape I listened too: Genesis-Invisible Touch 9.5/10 one of the best tapes of the mid 80s.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Emma Johnson - Brahms: Clarinet Sonatas 8.5/10

[James Diesel]

http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/loudwire.com/files/2012/05/10-years-minus-300x300.jpg

10 Years - Minus The Machine 8/10

Pretty decent. Seemed a little rushed to me considering I never heard any hype for the album until it was already out. It's taking time to grow on me but it I don't think it will feel better to me than Feeding The Wolves, and it certainly isn't it as great as Division was. Still a great album and should definitely be checked out, especially if you're into any of their work including "Wasteland", "Beautiful, "Shoot It Out" and "Fix Me".

[Blitz]

Taylor Swift-Red: 8.5/10. Fantastic pop album, just overlong. Cut it to 11 or 12 songs and it could be album of the year.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Converge - Axe to fall

8.5/10

Pretty damn tasty. Nothing much from the metal scene these days does anything for me, so it is good to find something that does.

Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind 9/10

I thought Axe to Fall was great, but this album is even rawer and bad ass. Tasty shizzle.

[theregulator]

all the cold play albums - .05/10 they make good target practice.

[James Diesel]

http://cdn.songonlyrics.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Blaqk-Audio-Bright-Black-Heaven-2012-Album-Tracklist.jpg

Blaqk Audio - Bright Black Heaven 7/10

As far as the whole techno sound goes, it's pretty good. I still prefer their previous album but this one does improve upon the old. So hyper critical of any Davey Havok/Jade Puget work due to my ex-fiance's obsession with them. It has a nice mix of popular techno style mixed with 80's synth. Add in the weird vocal style of Havok and it's a 7.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Quatuor Ad Libitum - Enescu: String Quartets Nos. 1 & 2 8/10

[RP]

everything Wiz Khalifa right now

[Blitz]

Tegan and Sara-Heartthrob: 8.5/10. Straight up pop. Pretty damn catchy.

[Bad News Gertner]

I REALLY want to get that. Little bit Closer is my ringtone right now.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Shit. I like the same act as Gertner. Well, this has spoilt Tegan and Sara for me now.

Anyways, I have to wait another 2 weeks until Heartthob comes out in the UK.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

John Adams - Son of Chamber Symphony/String Quartet 8/10

Julliard String Quartet - Brahms: Complete String Quartets/Clarinet Quintet 8.5/10

[The Condor]

Days Go By- the Offspring: 7.5/10

After a decade of mediocrity, self parody and "meh" this album is actually their best offering In at least 15 years. There are about 2 "sellout" or mainstream humor hits like the band typically does and one is completely awful and Katy Perry-esque. Overall, it's a more than solid punk album and enjoyable.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Pig Destroyer - 8.5/10

Nigel Kennedy and the London Philharmonic Orchestra - Elgar: Violin Concerto 7.5/10

Radu Lupu - Schubert: Impromptus 8/10

[The Condor]

Arockalypse- Lordi 8/10

Reminiscent of KISS and its all European, monster/horror themed power rock. Saw them live a few times with other bands, enjoyed it and finally got around to their popular album. Also was at a GWAR show where they ripped off the singers head and it spat out green liquid. It's kitschy and schlock but of the highest degree.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Frontier Ruckus - Eternity of Dimming 7.5/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Kyung Wha Chung - Prokofiev/Stravinsky: Violin concertos 8.5/10

[dronepool]

Bought:

David Bowie- The Next Day 8.5 / 10

How To Destroy Angels- Welcome Oblivion 7.8 / 10

[mitch_h]

David Bowie - The Next Day - Probably the best Bowie album since Scary Monsters, a couple songs I don't like, but overall this is pretty great. 8/10

Youth Lagoon - Wondrous Bughouse - Like this a lot more than his debut which kinda sounded like a generic bedroom pop album to me. His voice still kind of annoys me on some songs though, sounds like the old man from Family Guy. Like this a lot though. 9/10

Autre Van Neut - Anxiety - Not bad, gets kinda annoying though. 7.5/10

DJ Koze - Amygdalya - Good but super long. 8.5/10

Haxan Cloak - Excavation - 9/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

[Mooияakeя™]

A Flock of Seagulls - Listen

6/10 :)

[Triple A]

I like the new Deerhunter album and Kurt Vile album and Rilo Kiley RKives.

[Fignuts]

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Mosquito 9/10

This band can do no wrong it seems, at least as far as my tastes are concerned. They get a little experimental with the synths and electronica. Love how every album they make sounds noticably different from the last.

Dunno if I like it more than It's Blitz! yet. Need to give it a few more spins.

[Asmo]

Ghost - "Infestissumam" - A solid 8/10
Kvelertak - "Meir" - 6/10

[mitch_h]

The Knife - Shaking the Habitual 9.5/10
Kurt Vile - Wakin' On A Pretty Daze 9/10
Deerhunter - Monomania - 8.5/10

Lots of good stuff lately, really hope the new National album pulls through too.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Black Prairie - A tear in the eye is a wound in the heart 8.5/10
Jordi Savall/Le Concert des Nations - Jean-Baptiste Lully: L'Orchestre du Roi Soleil 7.5/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Isabelle Faust - Bartok: Violin Sonatas 8/10

[Tommy Gunn]

Depeche Mode - Delta Machine, not bad but my love for them is way back in my teens / early twenties, they just don't do it for me anymore sadly

Ghost B.C - Infestissumam - Decent, some good tracks, but I need to listen to it more

I'm also looking forward to the new Filter album coming out.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible 8/10

The Chandos Baroque Players - Telemann: Chamber Music 7.5/10

[Buzzkill]

Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap: 9.5/10

Totally got his own thing going...Crazy delivery and flow, clever word play and a good sense of humor/self awareness. About to put a few rappers out of work. I love it.


Kurt Vile - Wakin on a Pretty Daze - 8.5/10

Deeper and more fleshed out than Smoke Ring, really diggin it right now. Love him.


Alpoko Don - The Ol' Soul: 7.5/10

Might remember this guy from his youtube videos:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/amVmLX8fXp4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Really love what he's doing, and he sticks to this aesthetic on the album but it gets a bit stale after 11 tracks. Still though, lots of "dope tracks".

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Peal Jam - Vs. 8/10
Christopher Hogwood/Handel and Haydn Society - Handel: Concerti Grossi Op. 6 8/10

[The Condor]

"True North"- Bad Religion: 8.5/10

It's only something like 35 minutes long with 16 tracks and it is blistering and fantastic. They've still got it

[Buzzkill]

Really like the new Vampire Weekend. Less vampire weekendy than their other albums, for better and worse. Sweet.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Herbert von Karajan/Berliner Philharmoniker - Brahms 4 symphonies 8.5/10

[dronepool]

The Mars Volta- Noctourniquet 8.5/10 Love it.
Rob Zombie- Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor 8/10 Great!
The Flaming Lips- The Terror 8/10 Awesome.
Ghost BC- Infestissumam - 8/10 Love it!

[blake639raw]

Peal Jam - Vs. 8/10 Love this album. Dissident is such an awesome track. Pearl Jam have carved out a nice spot in rock and roll history.

[Requiem]

Dont know if I ever gave my thoughts on this album, but

Ronald Jenkees - Days Away 10/10

If this style of music is your thing, you absolutely can't go wrong with Jenkees.

Where 'Disorganized Fun' was all about the "solo", leading you through every song with a sick keyboard-shredding riff every time, Days Away is way more subtler than that. He really tries new things, the solo becomes more of a background noise while the rhythm and beat takes the lead. It's such a subtle album that it took a few listens before it clicked. Now, it's possibly my favorite thing he's put out.

If you're not aware of who Ronald Jenkees is, fucking YOUTUBE THAT SHIT GOD DAMN IT.

Sidetracked is possibly one of the sickest songs I've ever heard.

[The Condor]

Rob Zombie- Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor 8.8/10 Great!


Really? all I heard was negativity, but thanks for this. I'm going to give this one a try.

[dronepool]

Really? all I heard was negativity, but thanks for this. I'm going to give this one a try.

Rob Zombie is sort of like Slayer. It's a fun "by the numbers" RZ album and I actually like solo Rob a bit more than White Zombie, so take that in mind.

I liked Hellbilly Deluxe 2 a lot. Educated Horses was my least favorite but still a pretty good album. But the new album has 2 ex-members from my favorite band so I might be a bit biased when judging it :cool:

I heard mixed reviews as well but I don't know what people expected from it.

[The Condor]

Awesome. Have the same thoughts as you about Zombies solo career and I liked the single off the new album.

[Fignuts]

Bush- Sea of Memories 7/10

Surprisingly good. Most Bush albums have a couple good songs and the rest is forgettable. This is the first effort since Sixteen Stone that I've enjoyed all the way through.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Gil Shaham/Jian Wang/Berliner Philharmoniker/Claudio Abbado - Brahms: Violin Concerto and Double Concerto 8.5/10

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk 8/10

[Requiem]

Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork 10/10

Wow, this is the best thing they have ever done. It is incredible. Never expected anything like this out of them. I mean, I love QOTSA and Josh Homme, but this is far different and better than anything I could have imagined him putting out with QOTSA.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Maxim Shostakovich/LSO - Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony 10 9/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

She & Him - Volume 3 6/10

Valery Gergiev/Kirov Orchestra - Shostakovich: Symphonies 5 and 9 8.5/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Killswitch Engage - Disarm the Descent 7/10

This is the only KsE album I have other than Alive or Just Breathing, which I bought around the time of its release. The record is solid, though not particularly "engaging," and I can't say I like it as much as the the previous album with Jesse Leach. I've never bought any of the albums with the other fella, as they sounded a bit too melodic for me.

[Bad News Gertner]

Chevelle - Hats off to the Bull 8/10
I'd say it is their best album since Wonder What's Next

Valery Gergiev/Kirov Orchestra - Shostakovich: Symphonies 5 and 9 8.5/10

Symphony 6 was their best. The DJ was on his game on that one.

Phil Collins: No Jacket Required 10/10 it has Sussudio and Take Me Home that they used on Saturday Night's Main Event in the 80s. Phil Collins > all

Jay-Z - Magna Carta... Holy Grail 2/10

I really feel he should have stayed "retired" after "The Black Album"

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Kuniko Kato - Cantus 7.5/10

It hasn't grabbed me the way her ...Plays Reich album did a couple of years ago. I'm sure it will grow on me over time.

Palms - Palms 7/10

I like it but nothing really stands out to me.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Phil Anselmo and the Illegals - Walk Through Exits Only 7.5/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The Dillinger Escpe Plan - One of Us is the Killer 8/10

I prefer it to the other Greg Puciato album that I have, Ire Works, but doesn't touch Calculating Infinity.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Boris Giltburg - Prokofiev: War Sonatas 8/10

Gil Shaham/Adele Anthony/Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra/Neeme Jarvi - Arvo Part: Tabula Rasa 9/10

[Crazy Nick]

Nick Kamen- Move Until We Fly 7.5/10

Really listening to a lot of his music lately, great artist, his song,"I Promised Myself", is probably one of the best songs I have ever heard.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake 8/10
Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir/Tallinn Chamber Orchestra/Tonu Kaljuste - Arvo Part: Te Deum 7.5/10
Gregory and the Hawk - Leche 7.5/10

[The Condor]

The Final Frontier by Iron Maiden: 6.8/10

Not a big fan of post 2000 Maiden but it's still better than a lot of contemporary stuff. A lot of longer songs and can seem pretentious at times.

[The Condor]

My Head is an Animal by Of Monsters and Men: 6.4/10

By contemporary standards, this is a fine album and deserves credit both musically and lyrically in a vast wasteland of auto tuning + vapid and superficial lyrics about dancing and partying. However, it cannot be ignored that this album drags and a lot of the songs have an AC/DC quality of sounding similar or just run too long. The standout tracks are 1,3,6,8 in my opinion. They're mostly the singles, so it was a wise decision to put their best feet forward into the mainstream. One of the better albums of 2012 but must be listened to only on occasion in its entirety, otherwise the droning of some songs or the sameness taint it after consecutive repeated listens.

[Mooияakeя™]

Nick Kamen- Move Until We Fly 7.5/10

Really listening to a lot of his music lately, great artist, his song,"I Promised Myself", is probably one of the best songs I have ever heard.

You serious? That song sounds like Erasure - A little Respect

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoXiHMNvCAQ

Erasure's being slightly above a 2/10, beating Nick fucking Kamen.

But you know, we all light different things. At least it's not the usual wanky pop like Gaga, Bieber and stuff / Rap shit that is thrown in our faces.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Bitches need to understand that classical music is where all the kool kids are at...yo!

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Norma Jean - Wrongdoers 8/10

Grigori Zhislin/Tatjana Vassiljeva/Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra/ Antoni Wit - Penderecki: Viola Concerto/Cello Concerto No. 2 7/10

[The Condor]

Born in Hell by Viking Skull 8.8/10

Awesome album that can probably best be classified as hard blues rock. They can be heard throughout various episodes of Viva La Bam and have a great sound. This album is a number of years old but I believe they still tour and produce music. Stand out tracks would be "Seed Dealer" and "Crank the Volume."

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Lamb of God - Sacrament 7.5/10
Miles Davis - On the Corner 8/10
Domus - Brahms: Piano Quartets 9/10

Skinny Puppy- Weapon (8.5/10)

[Bad News Gertner]

Boulez/Zimerman/Andsnes/Grimaud - Bartok: Piano Concertos 1-3 8.5/10

I only gave the album a 6/10. Felt the trumpet was a bit off.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

There is no need to feel threatened by me listening to classical music, Gertie.

[Bad News Gertner]

I was merely giving my opinion of the album

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The Chariot - The Fiancee 8/10
The Ornette Coleman Quartet - This is Our Music 7/10

Neko Case - The worse things get, the harder I fight, the harder I fight, the more I love you 8.5/10

Thought the Harmonica in that piece was fantastic. 8.5/10

[Shisen Kopf]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6b/Aquariumcover1.jpg

9/10-great horn section, one of the best jazz records of all time. Smooth.

[Vastardikai]

Sturgill Simpson - High Top Mountain 9/10

More up tempo stuff reminds me of Waylon Jennings. His slower stuff tears at you like Keith Whitley's best.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Fitzwilliam String Quartet - Shostakovich: The String Quartets 9/10 (Very tasty)
Vasily Petrenko/Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra - Shostakovich: Symphony 11 8.5/10

[dronepool]

Drive-by Truckers - Southern Rock Opera 8.5/10
Radu Lupu - Brahms: Piano Concerto 1/Sonata 3/Rhapsodies/etc 9/10
36 Crazyfists - Rest Inside the Flames 7/10

I felt Brahms was really lacking in trombone.

[Blonde Moment]

avenged sevenfold-hail to the king 7/10
Nothing we haven't heard before somewhere else but still pretty damn good.

[Shisen Kopf]

New Sting cd=:| I know he's making a musical but I dunno 5/10. Couple of songs sound like Irish drinking songs but a lot is slow and boring.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Jyotsna Srikanth - Call of Bangalore 8/10

[The Condor]

"Garage Inc."- Metallica

6.4/10 PASS

Always avoided this album except for the various singles (Turn the Page, Whiskey in the Jar). It's adequate.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I quite enjoy the "Metallica and Friends" version of Tuesday's Gone.

[The Condor]

Loved the version of So What. good stuff, heavy.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed 8/10
Amici Ensemble - Messiaen: Quartet for the End of Time/Theme and Variations 9/10
Melos Ensemble of London - Beethoven/Mendelssohn/Schubert: Octets/Septets 6.5/10

[Bad News Gertner]

I thought that piece was greatly lacking in the cello department. Fucking Moazrt, get your head out of your ass!

[dronepool]

Korn- Paradigm Shift 8/10


Korn's best album in a while. Never, Never sort of sucks but the rest is solid.

[Vastardikai]

Alan Jackson - The Bluegrass Album 8.5/10

Really solid album. If more mainstream country albums came out sounding like this, I wouldn't complain. "Blacktop" is a subtle counter to all those Dirt Road songs on modern country. "Blue Ridge Mountain Song" is a heart breaker.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Ensemble - Brahms: String Sextets 8.5/10
Winston Choi - Elliott Carter: Complete Piano Works 8.5/10
Fu Manchu - The Action is Go 7/10

Gyorgy Ligeti Edition 7: Chamber Music 8/10
Deftones - B-Sides and Rarities 6.5/10

[Bad News Gertner]

Really thought Brahms String Sextet was lacking, like one of the sextet was trying to show off and plays solos with his violin and I was like "fool, you're supposed to be a TEAM!"

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Les Arts Florissants - M.A. Charpentier: Les Plaisirs de Versailles 7.5/10
Maria Kliegel/Nina Tichman - Georges Onslow: Cello Sonatas 7.5/10
Alexandra Silocea - Prokofiev: Piano sonatas 1-5 8.5/10
Spirit Caravan - The Last Embrace 7/10

[Bad News Gertner]

Really loved Les Arts Florissants. Good to see they haven't changed their style.

Like I always say" If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it!"


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I REALLY SAID THAT!

[Shisen Kopf]

LOL, I try not to STRAUSS over classical music. But I do take it very seriously. I would like to compose a LISZT of all the best composers of all time. I'll be BACH to this thread in a little bit really start listing all the serious business composers. WOOOO!!

[OssMan]

I don't listen to classical music very Offenbach :| :n:

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Touche Amore - Is Survived by 7.5/10

I like them, but, the vocalist's voice is somewhat monotonous, and gets tiresome after awhile.

Did not enjoy. It was too loud.

Dennis Russell Davies/Vienna RSO/Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra - Philip Glass: Symphony 2 7.5/10 (I really like the symphony itself, which I would give an 8.5/10, but the other pieces bore me somewhat)

Patricia Petibon/Paavo Jarvi/Orchestre de Paris/Choeur de l'Orchestra de Paris - Poulenc: Stabat Mater/Gloria/Litanies a la Vierge Noire 8.5/10 (I wish there was more Patricia, but you can't fault the music)

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Touche Amore - Is Survived by 7.5/10

I like them, but, the vocalist's voice is somewhat monotonous, and gets tiresome after awhile.

I've been listening to this album a lot recently and would like to up the score to 8/10.

Miles Davis - Cookin' at the Plugged Nickel 8/10
Isabelle Faust/Claudio Abbado/Orchestra Mozart - Berg/Beethoven: Violin Concertos 9/10

[ron the dial]

the lawrence arms - metropole 8/10

really like this record. feels like familiar lawrence arms territory with a few additions to the formula. perhaps i expected a bit more after such a long time between full lengths, but i'm not at all disappointed.

[ron the dial]

ok so i got high and really listened to this with some damn headphones. some pretty awesome stuff on there. a definite continued evolution for them, especially on tracks like "the ymca down the street from the clinic" and "paradise shitty." maybe an 8.4 now. but i'll let you know after a few more listens.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Clutch - Earth Rocker 8/10

Dum Dum Girls - Too True 7/10

I prefer the previous album, Only in Dreams.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

These New Puritans - Field of Reeds 8.5/10

[Bad News Gertner]

Oh yeah great album, amazing cello. That cello shook me like jello!

Haw haw!

[ron the dial]

anything el vaq listens to is better than anything you listen to. without question.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Tyler, The Creator - Bastard

I accidentally stumbled across the song "Bastard" while looking for another song, and I really dug it. Had some time on my hands today, so I threw the whole album on in the background. I really dig the lyrics and flow through most of the album. While it was impressive that he was only 17/18 when this album was made AND he made his own beats, some of those beats left a bit to be desired. They hit in nice places, but they're missing SOMETHING in the middle fairly often. Still, an enjoyable listen for a hip hop head.

8/10

Favorite track: "Bastard"

[The Condor]

These Are Jokes- Demetri Martin: 8.5/10
King Baby- Jim Gaffigan: 9.7/10
No Cure for Cancer- Dennis Leary: 9/10

Drove a long distance + picked up some comedy to make the trip. These all payed off brilliantly. I recommend all of them.

[Bobholly138]

Death "For all the world to see"-9.5/10

Best album I have heard in years. Not a bad track on it.

[ron the dial]

Bobholly138 coming out of left field with a solid choice in music

[Bobholly138]

Bobholly138 coming out of left field with a solid choice in music

It was the first new album I have bought in close to 5 years. Now if they would just tour near me.

[Bobholly138]

Bobholly138 coming out of left field with a solid choice in music

Have you seen the documentary about Death?

Been listening to a bootleg live CD of GG Allin. It is mostly his more country sounding stuff. I wish GG had done more stuff like that. And focused less on the shock stuff.

When he wasn't trying to shock people he put out some good to great music.

[ron the dial]

yeah the doc was really good. my buddy showed it to me and i was hooked.

i've always been rather indifferent to gg allin, though.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Ulf Wallin/Roland Pontinen - Hindemith: Complete Violin Sonatas 8/10

[Bobholly138]

yeah the doc was really good. my buddy showed it to me and i was hooked.

i've always been rather indifferent to gg allin, though.


I like most of GG's early stuff. And his more outlaw country stuff. I still hate that he decided to focus more on the shock value than the music.

A friend of mine in Vancouver got to meet Death when they were touring promoting the documentary. Maybe I will get lucky and they will play Jackson or New Orleans.

[Blonde Moment]

Death "For all the world to see"-9.5/10

Best album I have heard in years. Not a bad track on it.

Holy shit!

[Bobholly138]

Holy shit!

Have you heard it? When I got it,I ripped it loaded it on my mp3 player and listened to it on repeat for almost 8 hours.

I am hoping they record more stuff. Not sure how good it will be.Since the brother that died wrote most of the old stuff. That album has this raw primal energy to it that very few bands can capture.

[Blonde Moment]

I did and then proceeded to let some of my musician friends in on the greatness of these guys.

[Impeccable]

Into some weird electro rock stuff at the moment. Loving Chvrches album. 8/10

After watching the Brits, listened to rudimentals album. Wtf? 3/10.

Disclosure I give a 5/10 for their album settle.

Not sure what I am missing with daft punks album random access memories. I tried again and I just don't feel it. 4/10

In a tidal wave of mystery by capital cities is good, but gets a bit samey after four or five songs. 6/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

If the Brits champion some act/band, then that act/band is likely to be shit...unless it is David Bowie. Otherwise: shit.

[OssMan]

SADE - A Love Deluxe

Pump up the Volume Soundtrack-9.8/10

One of the best Soundtrack albums I have heard. Introduced me to so many bands.

[mitch_h]

The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream: 9/10. Didn't really love any of their earlier stuff but this album is pretty amazing. They really perfected this 80s Tom Petty/Springsteen/Dire Straits sound.

Foster The People - Supermodel - 2 listens today. Went from a 4 to a 4.5. Not one bad song.

[Crazy Nick]

Trapt- Reborn 9.5/10
This album is great, most of the tracks are really good, this is the first Trapt album I have listened to in years and I am really enjoying it.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The Replacements - Please to Meet Me 8/10

Once I got past its more polished production, I thoughtthis was a pretty good album. Not as good as Let it Be or Tim, but still a cracking record.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Vasily Petrenko/Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra - Shostakovich: Symphony 8 8/10
Marc-Andre Hamelin - Ives/Barber: Piano Sonatas 8/10
Kari Kriikku/Anu Komsi/Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra/Sakari Oramo - Kaija Saariaho: D'Om Le Vrai Sens/Laterna Magica/Leino Songs 6/10

I felt that the Saariaho works were just ripping off Penderecki, but I may take to it more in the future.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Thomas Dausgaard/Danish National Symphony Orchestra/Danish National Vocal Ensemble/Danish National Choir - Per Norgard: Symphonies 3 and 7 7.5/10
