New Albums

[agny]

I listened to Adam Lambert's The Original High album stream a couple of times. CD arrived today. I bet it will be like his last album, love a few tracks.

And for Young Guns, yes, it (ok and Adam haha) are about as poppy as it gets for me. I like that they have a "sound" where their songs go together but they don't all sound identical. I was late to their last album but still playing that a lot too. I also liked their live show.

^ I gave it a listen, but I couldn't really get into the vocals.

Do you know which songs you listened to?

[Timotheus]

The first few bunch. I think till track 5 or 6.

DISTURBED MAY BE GETTING BACK TOGETHER!

I like how there's 350+ people that watched the whole thing through lol...

[Timotheus]

The new Aristocrats album is streaming on UG. I thought it was pretty good. It's a lot of fun and never boring.

For people who are into prog, jazz, instrumental rock, etc.

This guy Tremonti released a new album a few weeks ago and I kinda dig it. I think you guys should check it out!

If I want to listen to Christian prayers I'm going to church. I can't believe this guy is still making this Creed style music. Who the hell buys this crap? I mean no liked Creed even back then when they had some hitsingles.

Who is Tremonti?

[mockingbird]

He's the drummer of the pop jazz band Pink Floyd afaik

[Timotheus]

Wolf Alice's debut is really good! They're an upcoming female fronted alternative/indie rock band.

This is the song that hooked me:

But most of them are really good. I really liked Your Loves Whore and Bros as well.

[Rosenblaetter]

Who is Tremonti?

Isn't that the guy who left Tremonti quartet because he preferred wearing black and always played to fast?

Those are really the only albums I've given multiple listens this year. Was disappointed with the new Lifehouse album. Liked some singles from the new 10 Years album, From Birth to Burial, but I haven't listened to the whole thing. Listened to the Periphery records once each, but I haven't gone back to them even though I thought they were solid efforts.

Been a bit of a slow music listening year for me really. I haven't been listening through albums as much lately in general for whatever reason.
