I'm currently on a binge relistening session on R.E.M. right now, which includes everything post-Reveal (ironically, the first album of theirs I've ever listened to) - which I barely gave any attention to due to feeling so lukewarm on them - technically pristine but emotionally hollow is the -last- thing I want from a band built on absurd heights of pathos. I think the only post-Monster album I've connected emotionally with was Up, which, as uneven as it is, actually teems with sincerity.

One presumes that this statement is exclusive of Monster, not inclusive.

I like Up. It's not great, but it at least tries to be something unique which is, well, more than I can say for whatever the heck New Adventures in Hi-Fi was doing.

The Pretty Reckless - Heaven Knows

Susanne Sundfor - Slowly

New album's out. Still more deliciously baroque synthesized darkness.

Well, I have problems with Monster too, but it's got pathos itself. New Adventures in Hi-Fi is mostly a somewhat elegant exercise in boredom at its best.

Nightwish - Weak Fantasy

How amazing is The Greatest Show track? So fucking over the top, I love it so much. I can't tell if it is genuine or if they just really love Cosmos.

Lorde - Tennis Courts.

Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Something filled up
my heart with nothing.
Someone told me not to cry~

Florence + The Machine - What the Water Gave Me.

Public Domain - Operation Blade.

Give up on life. Enter a trance (not you trancey). Finally feel good for a few minutes. Today was kind of shitty.

David Bowie - The Man Who Sold the World

Public Domain - Operation Blade.

This time it is just because Hard dance is fucking dumb and I love it.

Florence + the Macine - Ship to Wreck

<3 <3 <3 This song is awesome. I'm hyped for this album now.

Florence + The Machine - What Kind Of Man.

Apocalyptica: Riot Lights

New Apocapalyptica! It is a fairly different album in that they have one steady singer this time and the vocal tracks solidly outnumber the instrumentals. Odd change for me since it makes them feel more like a normal band (I always preferred the instrumentals) but I am getting used to it and there is some good stuff here.

Allo Darlin' - We Come From The Same Place

Apocalyptica: Dead Man's Eyes

Reminds me of the kind of thing Garbage always uses to end their albums. Slow, deliberate tempo, moody and brooding, trances out hypnotically in the latter third or so. As I've no doubt remarked before: good way to close things out.

Mumford & Sons - Broad-Shouldered Beasts.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #68 on:** May 03, 2015, 01:58:57 AM »

Nina Simone - That's All I Ask

Grefter · « **Reply #69 on:** May 09, 2015, 12:32:14 AM »

Florence + The Machine - No Light, No Light.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #70 on:** May 09, 2015, 07:17:25 AM »

Any opinions on the new Mumford & Sons stuff, Grefter or anyone else?

Grefter · « **Reply #71 on:** May 09, 2015, 03:19:20 PM »

I like it. It doesn't blow my mind or anything but there isn't anything bad on it.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #72 on:** May 09, 2015, 08:04:59 PM »

I heard it was a Mumford & Sons without banjo and lost interest immediately. Their best songwriting almost entirely runs through the banjo lines.

Grefter · « **Reply #73 on:** May 12, 2015, 02:00:37 PM »

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #74 on:** May 12, 2015, 06:15:55 PM »

May have to listen to the stuff on Youtube or something.

Janelle Monae - Yoga

I know what album I am going to pick up though!
