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.
so i will be gone for the next three to four days, leaving town for a wedding and moving into a place with my girlfriend, so i thought it would be (acceptable??) to drop the listenalong for next week now::
unfortunately, this is on neither spotify nor youtube as a full album; youtubes has samples and spotify has other less good compilations so for point of reference here is a
i hope some of y'all enjoy!! [listenalong template next post]

Kevin Anderson
Is the new EE out yet? I didn't realise that it was being released so soon.
Ethan Adams
It leaked yesterday, official release is next Friday
Isaac Barnes
Holy heck, I'll get on it then. What are your thoughts on their albums? Just out of interest. I remember my sister telling me about them ages back and ended up loving them.
Michael Taylor
Man Alive is their young and reckless one, throws so much shit into the wall and some stick hard, others fall flat af Arc is my fav, takes some of the weirdness and grows up a bit in the lyrics department with math rock influence Get to Heaven is great but loses the math rock influence. It's the one with the best lyrics though.
A Fever Dream is close to Arc on the music but has a lot of GtH's lyrical themes.
Bentley Wood

I'm still doing that jazz chart you all gave me recs for too, believe it or not.
>Bubble Puppy - A Gathering of Promises (1969)
Read the name. Look at the cover. This album defies the odds and kicks so much ass. Sloppy it's not, noodly it's not. I'm still scratching my head at how nuanced and thoroughly composed something like this could be. You won't find any laziness or phoning it in on this acid rock album, and every moment is filled to the brim with natural progressions and thoughtful drum fills and guitar riffs and great harmonies starting with the great "Hot Smoke & Sasafrass". To my ears, it's a marriage of Blue Mountain Eagle melodies, Buffalo Springfield harmonies. There's some quality to it that almost makes it come across like a proto-Tame Impala. It's got some pop elements but this album rocks hard and twists and turns all throughout if you listen closely. 7.5/10
>Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense and Peppermints (1967)
I can't fault this album for being what it is. It's horseshoe theory in action...those who don't enjoy psychedelia can appreciate the cultural kitsch and time capsule that is "Incense and Peppermints", many who do like psychelia may find this too commercial or poppy or nonsensical, and then serious collectors jaded from aesthetics consider this essential. I'd like to think I can appreciate each viewpoint. Like it or not, the hit single is one of the living, surviving testaments to the Summer of Love: pop music administered a health dose of LSD with odd vocal harmonies and unexpected chord progressions and nebulous lyrics. The rest shouldn't be as overlooked as it is, as it's just as meticulous and nuanced, only with less catchy pop appeal. 6/10

>Hendrix - Band of Gypsys (1970)
I'm at the point where if I want to listen to some Jimi Hendrix, it's going to be live material. I want as little to get between his playing and my ears as possible, I think his studio albums aren't as great as they could be. 15+ three-minute-long songs just don't suit his strengths as well as he gets credit for. He starts to catch on and give himself some room with Electric Ladyland. The general public have in some respect confused his legacy on his hit songs rather than his guitar virtuosity, perhaps out of some difficulty discussing the latter. Anyone who listens to a Jimi Hendrix Experience album from front-to-back will inevitably find he's just a far more consistently excellent musician than he is a composer. For me, there's only so many times I can hear "Foxey Lady" on Are You Experienced? until I need more, and to understand an improvisational musician, one needs to constantly filter through material.
Adrian Richardson
Anyway, Band of Gypsys is a live album, and it's a far different style than his previous work and features an altogether different band. The Summer of Love is over heading into the year 1970, and this strays from the psychedelic rock format into some heavy bluesy material. It can't be overstated just how lasting this Band of Gypsys sound is, as I still hear it deep in the roots of a lot groups playing heavy psych and even sludge and doom metal today. Most immediately noticeable about this power trio is how basic the playing of the other musicians is in comparison. Buddy Miles' drums and Billy Cox's bass are clearly here to respond to Jimi's cues to lift up his guitar. And sure enough, Jimi's guitar is lysergic as ever as it fills the entire sonic palette. Surely one of his career highlights is the 12-minute-long "Machine Gun" in which his watery electric guitar emulates an entire orchestra across his fretboard so that you couldn't get hung up on particular notes if you tried, and his band match these nebulous shifts step-for-step. 8/10

>The Saints - Eternally Yours This one is kind of a trip for me. It sounds fucking dead on exactly like the less-creative half of the Lookout! Records galaxy of pop punk bands I listened to in jr high, but 10 years earlier. Pretty sure the Mr T Experience intentionally lifted bits of "Private Affair" for "Let's Be Together Tonite". so... I guess I'm gonna decide this is a good thing? I can't fault this record for my own embarrassing taste from when I was a kid. The Saints certainly show range within the pop punk zone (the songs vary from fast to medium (I'm so funny)). and it's fun as fuck. Isn't that the point of pop punk, venting via phun distraction? High points: "Know Your Product" is a fucking banger, a freight train of hornsy punk rock. A little bit of quasi-rapping on track 3, sounds out of place in a good way, like in the demo of Love's "You Set the Scene". Effective inclusion of horns and harmonica cuts the sameness. Should have more horns (all punk should). Kurt Cobain had this in his top 50 (#19). That's quite generous, but this is a good one. The kind of record that can supplant listening to 84 inferior albums, a near-essential in a genre with very few essentials. 3.5+

Got what I expected, Arc with more synths. Really liked Night of the Long Knives, Desire still irritates me, Big Game was a bit forgettable. Good Shot, Good Soldier is growing on me, and Run the Numbers gives me mixed feelings because I'm reminded of some pop star that I can't place my finger on. Never heard Higgs sing like that.
Was happy to hear a breakdown halfway through Put Me Together. Title track is still my favorite, but Ivory Tower is cool too. Felt like New Deep could have been something really interesting, but I'm not surprised that the length was sliced. I feel like White Whale should have impacted me more, but it felt limp and single-minded compared to the mixed feelings of the other album closers.
the album as a whole just isn't sticking to me like the others. there goes that aoty

why not start a chart the day before going away again? hopefully making one will push me to listen to different stuff.
the Atkins comp was great but honestly I expected more. he has absolute killer tracks (like The Chase, Wanna Be There, Skyway, Jazz is The Teacher) but he mostly couldn't pull off the electro stuff in the same way Kraftwerk can. I won't return to some of the more annoying vocal tracks (TECHNICOLOR, TECHNICOLOR, TECHNICOLOR) but there are some real gems here. 4/5 (but one of those 4's that's almost a 3 iunno)

>I feel like White Whale should have impacted me more, but it felt limp and single-minded compared to the mixed feelings of the other album closers. Coming from the guy who loves Warm Healer. ebin.
Desire grew on me quite a lot, agree with title track being fav. Night of the Long Knives, Ivory Tower and Good Shot Good Soldier are my other highlights. Disagree with New Deep, it's just a transition like title track on Arc and does its job very well.
And you're probably thinking of Lorde, a friend said the song has a bit that sounds a lot like Buzzcut Season.
Caleb Miller

Which one then
Asher Lopez
>overt skyrim reference in the first verse of the album still great desu
Evan Peterson
im tellin ya Warm Healer was powerful because of context
I thought the lyrics were weaker on this album as well, but I guess I'll have to wait until the album's officially out to see. Nothing really comes close to Blast Doors or Happsburg Lipp but then again those are basically rap songs
Xavier Price
Yeah I also missed the fast sung lyrics on this one, the closest we got was the I'M IN MY IVORY IVORY IVORY TOWER I'M IN MY IVORY TOWER bit
