Savage Henry Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thanks for bringing this one to my attention. Spend the last few days listening to their work and i’ve really enjoyed what i’ve heard so far. Also, by pure chance, they’re playing in Berlin when me and the wife are over there in April so i’ll be able to catch them live as well. It’s a terrific piece of political expression. Loving it. Possibly a best of the year already. On a similar-ish note, the new Drive By Truckers isnt quite doing it for me on first play, but the first track and the first single are both terrific. Edit: trying to find a way to get to the Algiers Glasgow show tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Green Day's new album released this morning. Im very much a fan of the new garage sound they've gone for...it's not what you'd expect from a Green Day album but very good and VERY catchy. Looking forward to hearing it live in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Spanish Love Songs have just released their new album and I think it's going to take something special to knock that off top spot for my album of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Absolutely adoring the new Lone Bellow record on first listen. Green Day's is doing absolutely nothing for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its brilliant. They're supporting the Menzingers at QMU on Tuesday - that's going to be fucking insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a cracking night! I need to wait until next Saturday to catch them in London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sub-forum is such a great place for finding out about new music. What an album. Two support acts can be a bit wearying sometimes but I'll be down at QMU early for these guys on Tuesday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Slutface’s new album is very good. I’ll need to give Bombay Bicycle Club’s a go as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I am loving the Drive-by Truckers new one. Caroline Rose has one out soon too if not already that I am looking forward to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 A very promising start to 2020 with efforts from Spanish Love Songs, Caspian and Holy Fawn all likely to feature in end of year lists. Contrastingly the new Green Day album is disastrously bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Wilder Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Agree with you on Spanish Love Songs album, also Anti Flags is a great album! Green Days is awful!! A very promising start to 2020 with efforts from Spanish Love Songs, Caspian and Holy Fawn all likely to feature in end of year lists. Contrastingly the new Green Day album is disastrously bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Just finished Tame Impala’s new album (released at midnight). Going to give it another few listens before forming a solid opinion, but first impressions are that it’s definitely a good album, a wee bit different, a bit more inventive and narrative-driven than Currents but something just feels a bit off. Maybe because it is really different from anything Parker has done it’ll take a while to get really in to it. At this point I think it’s definitely better than the first album, but would hold Currents and Lonerism in higher regard. I really like Breathe Deeper and One More Year. Those tunes plus the singles Borderline and Posthumous Forgiveness really stand out for me. Early reviews are mostly from North American outlets, which indicate that the album is average at best, but I usually ignore American reviews as they tend to be pretty dismissive to anything that isn’t their own or U2. Weirdos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no idea the album version of Borderline was going to be different to the single but I think I like it better than the first version already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I prefer the single, but the remix is interesting all the same. Another few listens in to it. It’s definitely a very good album. Still think Currents and Lonerism, especially the latter, are better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotfree Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 New Tame Impala album gets better after a few listenings. I would say it's better than Currents, but not as good as Lorerism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) New Algiers is fine but not as good as The Underside of Power, which in fairness is phenomenal. Edited February 18, 2020 by George Parr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
