George Parr Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The teaser tracks from A Perfect Circle's forthcoming 'Eat the Elephant' record have been appetising. Looking forward to the full length release. New Decemberists effort dropping in mid-March as well, which I'll be keeping an eye out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit different to what you would normally expect. I know it was late 2017 and not 2018. Some people seem to be absolutely hating that record. It's not as good as the first High Flying Birds record but it's better than Chasing Yesterday. I like the way he seems to have taken the music down a more psychedelic route as well, but I suppose some people won't be happy unless it's the more traditional Oasis sound.

As Liam trots out the same three chord twaddle, at least Noel has tried to do something different. I think I like Holy Mountain more than any song he's ever written. And the scissors thing is pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Gallagher's album is alright but I thought the constant Beatles references got very tired very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Superchunk's latest is also on NPR, and it sounds very much like Superchunk doing what Superchunk do best, if perhaps a slightly rougher sound than their last couple. Splendid stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I’ll need to give the latest Car Seat Headrest one a go but I’m sure there is some older songs in that album as well as new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a re-release of an earlier release. His attitude to albums, and songs in general, is one of constant revision. It’s quite refreshing, I think. Haven’t heard the new record, but as you say I’ll bet I’ve heard much of it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Currently playing Brian Fallon’s new album. It’s the same old stuff, with “borrowed” lyrics in almost every song, and as subtle as a punch in the face, but it’s a good drinking album, I think. He’s thrown mandolins into the well rehearsed sound, but it could really pass for one of his band’s records, unlike his previous record.On a side note, It always amazes me when bands release badly mixed albums. The bass in Proof of Life drowns out everything else, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 New Superchunk and Ought albums have been pumped lots this week. I’d say Ought has the better chance of seeing out the year in a top ten slot but we’ll see what the year brings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamJags Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Got to a point where I've listened to more than 10 great records this year so far, so the current top 10 is: 1. Hookworms - Microshift 2. Harrison Whitford - Afraid Of Everything 3. Lucy Dacus - Historian 4. Ezra Furman - Transangelic Exodus 5. HOLY - All These Worlds Are Yours 6. The Orielles - Silver Dollar Moment 7. Brian Fallon - Sleepwalkers 8. Lylo - Post Era 9. Moby - Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Was Hurt 10. The Shins - The Worm's Heart Honorable mentions for Anna Sweeney (of being-from-Killie fame) who has released a fantastic pop record, and Marlon Williams. Enjoying the Justin Timberlake record as well, surprisingly. Biggest disappointments so far have been Franz Ferdinand, Public Access TV and Brandi Carlile. Not bad records, as such, but didn't live up to the promise that the singles showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Not really listened to many new albums yet this year. My list so far probably looks something like this: 1. The Xcerts - Hold On To Your Heart 2. Brian Fallon - Sleepwalkers 3. Moby - Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt 4. Ducking Punches - Alamort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
