Placenta Kill - Only The Strong Survive 7/10

The xx - Coexist: 9/10

Better than the first in pretty much every way

Patricia Petibon - Airs Baroques Francais 8.5/10
Gianluigi Trovesi/Gianni Coscia - Round About Weill 7.5/10

Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes 9.5/10

Album of the Year Candidate

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.

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.

Coexist by The xx - 2/5

Bring back Baria! :mad:

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

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.

Frehley's Comet - Second Sighting (1988): 9/10
Very underrated post-KISS album from guitarist Ace Frehley. Love the switching back and forth of the singing from Ace and guitarist/keyboardist Tod Howarth.

Down - IV: Purple EP 5/10
Devon Sproule - Upstate Songs 7/10
The English Concert/Trevor Pinnock - Corelli: 12 Concerti Grossi, Op. 6. 8.5/10

Abandoned Pools-Sublime Currency: 7.5/10, pretty solid return.
Billy Talent-Dead Silence: 8/10, vast improvement over the last album.
Deadmau5-Album Title Goes Here: 9/10, excellent electronica.
The Killers-Battle Born-8/10. Their best work since Hot Fuss.
Lupe Fiasco-Food & Liquor 2-The Great American Rap Album Part 1: 7/10. A few excellent tracks. Battle Scars should be huge.

Mistur - Attende

6/10. Great album, but very repetitive....

almost repped you for this post

but you suck so no

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.

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.

Enslaved - Frost.

10/10.

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.

Marcus Creed/Akademie fur Alte Musik Berlin - Handel: Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne/Dixit Dominus 8.5/10

Dimmu Borgir - Abrahadabra.

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...

Paul Simon - There Goes Rhymin' Simon 7/10

Dimmu Borgir - Abrahadabra. 9/10. Prefer Dimmu being all big budget. Glad I caught them live last year.

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

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

David Guetta- "Nothing but the Beat 2.0" 5/10. Remember when Guetta wasn't a complete sell-out?

Nevermind - 10/10

Deftones- Koi No Yokan 8.5/10

I would have to go with this as well. I am enjoying the album alot.

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.
