The point of these threads is to encourage people to look for new and interesting music. We do this by listening to and ideally discussing albums we've never heard before. Many of us already listen to new music daily, these people are in it to venture "out of their comfort zone" by listening to albums they otherwise wouldn't have, or just to have a good time.

I notice you have the 1958 version of Art Blakey's A Night in Tunisia, but you should do the 1961 version instead, it's the definitive version.

Listening to that Natural Snow Buildings record now, can't stop smiling since the third track, on the fourth now >mfw just realized how much i'm going to have to curve cushion after doing this chart
Brandon Nguyen
>Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat >Rock, Punk, Spoken Word
The "looping record" effect at the end of the first track is neat. A simple keyboard and gritty drums populate a compressed song that sounds like it's being heard from a distant radio.
The NEXT track, The Gift, has a delightful horror story, which the band's playing allows to be told in a matter-of-fact way. Lady Godiva's Operation details a surgical operation, from what first sounds like it'd be a description of a promiscuous woman-- transitioning into the light strums of Here She Comes Now.
To put it in the simplest terms, the sunny guitars and drums of the band are a framework for their darker messages. The album cover itself seems to portray this as well: simple white lettering on darkness.
I Heard Her Call My Name is more explicit with this presentation, and the lead guitar rips through the steady eight notes of the set. Sister Ray goes on for longer than I'd like, but had some neat noisiness
This is probably the first punk album I've I decently enjoyed. Maybe because it retains melodic song structures, making the songs and their content itself more memorable. And the image of horrified parents hearing this some 50 years ago. What it seems to lack was a real direction behind all its songs, but I guess that's a part of the punk aesthetic.

>Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love >Singer/songwriter, Folk
Cohen's voice and need to sort of droop his words makes me weary...
At least, I WOULD have wrote that if I didn't realize I was halfway through listening to Songs of Love and Hate, not Songs of Leonard Cohen. Which made hearing Cohen being much more gentle on Suzanne a greater pleasure.
Compared to the American Primitivism I've heard from previous albums, I'm glad Cohen allowed the backing orchestration to stay. I imagine without it, Cohen would have been a bit too lonely with his deep storytelling. Gives them a sense of importance, beyond "love song."
That sense of importance is important, because Cohen was a poet. The miniscule clockwork band that passes on Sisters Of Mercy, the touch of strings and electric guitar on Master Song, the plain female choruses of Suzanne and So Long, Marianne. Easily enjoyable, while Cohen weaves his watercolour tales.
These aren't wildly colorful watercolour tales, keep in mind: there's a bleakness that hangs over some of the tracks, and Cohen knows this. Sometimes it really is just a look on love (Hey, Thats no way to say goodbye), but others seem to calmly wander and explore Cohen's memories (Teachers, One of Cannot Be Wrong). Master Song left the biggest impression on me, for toying with the theme of servant and master.
To sum up the futile feelings of the entire album, from Suzanne:
>And the sun pours down like honey >On our lady of the harbour >And she shows you where to look >Among the garbage and the flowers >There are heroes in the seaweed >There are children in the morning >They are leaning out for love >And they will lean that way forever
8/10

lolol nice
I doubt you're gonna like Minor Threat that much based on what you said in that review, but idk how you can listen to WL/WH and NOT talk about Sister Ray. Shit is ding dong, and it's probably one of the best rock ever made (according to scaruffi).
Juan Diaz
dont worry once the second cd hits you wont need to curve cushion as hard :^)
i dont think you did and if you did you never posted about it

i guess i'll look for it in my pc tomorrow and pan the remaining ones maybe
I don't really have much to say about Motoharu Sano's someday. It's another okay city pop album, though this one features more influence from 80's funk and Bruce Springsteen than The Beach Boys. Maybe I'm just getting fatigued, but this album is pretty much the definition of average. Not really much else to say.

Another good album found! Yumi Arai's Hiko-ki Gumo is some pretty damn good jazzy folk pop, with beautiful vocals throughout. I'm kind of tired while writing this, so I'm not going to go into a whole lot of detail, but this is a well-composed, well-performed pop record that I am definitely going to come back to.

Parker Anderson
The Jacks' Vacant World is an amalgam of western psychedelic rock and pop tropes and ideas that somehow manages to better and more interesting than a lot of 60's psychedelic music I've heard. It features Doors-like organ playing, Phil Spector girl group rhythms, bluesy surf guitars, and Eric Burdon-esque vocals, and is able to synthesize all of these elements into a collection of mellow psych dirges. The second and fifth tracks are my personal favorites, though I can't really think of any songs on here that detract from the album. This is definitely the best new (for me) album I've listened to from this list so far, and it seems to be an incredibly influential album in a Japanese rock after doing some research, so it's spot on this list is certainly deserved.
