This is the third thread in a row I've started. Get it together, guys.
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.

>VA - Pomegranates Groovy tunes from different styles and with an occident influence in them, there is a handful of pop gems here. I don't know what the songs are about but they sound extremely melancholic to me. 8+
>The Product - Alive Again You know the deal, a long forgotten album that gets reissued by Dark Entries and becomes somewhat of a classic, yeah the quality is ensured. It sounds like the mellow side of Oppenheimer Analysis, slow tempos and a cold atmosphere created with basic instrumentation. The "new way of danish fuck you" pretty much got their inspiration from here. 6.5+

Gavin Perry
hii
so here's tourney results please don't be mad at me.
Not gonna do individual reviews because I'm tired rn, but what really threw Sookie Jump over the edge was just general consistency and denseness, where as Babi Yar greater peaks, but too many nothing moments sprinkled throughout.
Lamb and Jimmy Jazz both move on! accel had their bet on Jim and dexx (?) had theirs on Lamb. If dexx decides to not exist then the wager will just go to accel. I'll figure out how I'm gonna make the drone chart, but it'll most likely include six people: Winner, 2nd place, winner of the bet, Letov, Rudi, and Nat which will be spread respectively but I'm not 100% sure how yet. I'll figure it out.
Need recs from Jimmy Jazz and Lamb but I also need someone to hold me

auntler on rym also suspiciously stopped rating one day like seven years ago after having like 20+ ratings every day so I think she's dead too
you mean in the last round?
advancement is from highest scores from the entire round, not 1v1

Them - The "Angry" Young Them! (1965) >british rhythm & blues
As much as I like Veedon Fleece and Astral Weeks (to an extent), Morrison's voice just fits so, /so/ well in a garage rock context. Them really did just serve as a stepping stone for Morrison to jump off into a more artistically lucrative solo career, with their Animals-aping sound and complete over-reliance on covers, but his vocals are absolutely incredible, and the band plays with so much soul and passion, levels of soul and passion that aren't found in other british R&B bands.
3.0
Eagles of Death Metal - Peace Love Death Metal (2004) >garage rock revival
Homme's songwriting skill is neutered by the less talented Hughes, making this seem little more than a less-than-stellar QotSA side project. It's fun enough, with gritty, lo-fi production and a ramshackle, singalong kind of vibe to it, yet there's little substance to be found anywhere. Hughes' guitar work is pretty elementary Homme's drums is way too forward in the mix, and the songs, while containing some catchy hooks here and there, are little more than somewhat palatable earworms.
2.0
Peaches - The Teaches of Peaches (2000) >electroclash
Grating, incredibly grating. "Fuck the Pain Away" and "Sucker" are alright, the rest is just obnoxious as all hell. Peaches vocals really fit her sexual lyrics, her production is just so off-putting. It's very broad and over-the-top, while somehow managaing to seem tired and lame. It's a very odd, awful combination, and Peaches pulls it off incredibly well.

Andrew Russell
Real busy with gf and work and couldn't listen to much, how will I ever become an amateur music reviewer at this pace!
>Culprate Deliverance Didn't feel like there was anything there really, just IDM but.. dubstep? I don't know, maybe my attention span is short and I'm not smart enough to understand IDM, but it never feels like anything is there. The "swing" of the electronic genre, jamming as many notes in a 7 minute period as possible, its just lost on me. Some parts I liked, others I just hoped it would be over as soon as possible 2.5
>NRBQ Kick Me Hard I originally heard of this record in an interview with Ira Kaplan, where he describes it as "one they made for themselves". Having now heard the album, I can see what Ira meant by this. Each song is consistent with their playful melodies and lyrics, you can just feel the energy each member is putting into every song, and the infinite amount of fun they're having. Incredibly well written pop songs, with heavy blues and jazz influences, I listened to the whole thing twice in a row I loved this so much. Thanks Ira! 4.5

Carole King - Tapestry (1971) >singer/songwriter, soft rock
Carole King isn't exactly the most thrillling solo performer, so it really does help that her songwriting is so good. "I Feel the Earth Move", "So Far Away", "You've Got a Friend", all incredible songs, just not entirely done justice by the subdued soft rock style of the record. King's vocals are soulful, the arrangements are much more sterile and laid-back. It works for some songs, although some of the more fiery, passionate songs suffer.
2.5+
Lee Hazlewood - Cowboy in Sweden (1970) >country pop, baroque pop, singer/songwriter, television music
Hazlewood, with his unique mix of country and baroque pop, produces another certified classic. His sound is certainly a bit overdone and saccharine, and his vocal performances are usually bested by the guest performers, but I can't even begin to talk about how much I love the arrangements and sound here. It's very expansive and sprawing, Hazlewood draws inspiration from pop, jazz, folk, and psychedelia to create this kaleidoscopic take on country that works really well.

Andrew Cyrille & Milford Graves - Dialogue of the Drums I feel like an album entirely based around percussion and mostly around non-pitched percussion could very easily end up being a total chore to listen to. But this album's very good! This album is packed with a huge variety of different timbers which really brings it to life and never comes off as a gimmick, which I feared it would. This layering of timbers combined with the complex rhythms and expressive playing from Cyrille and Graves give this album a great tribal atmosphere without ever coming off as a cheesy or overwrought like so many "tribal" albums do. And I love any album where the musicians are yelling like they're pushing out a real tough shit. 7/10
White Noise - An Electric Storm What a strange album. In my music library, it's sitting right next to my Wendy Carlos albums, and it's definitely at home there. Some great analogue synths, catchy songwriting, and baffling samples (the highlight being the sex moans that overtake My Game of Loving). I mean hey, it's the 60s, the decade when a bunch of artists decided to add sex noises to their music for some reason. *ahem* rateyourmusic.com/release/album/z_x/music_for_sensuous_lovers_by_z/ Anyways, this was a fun listen. 6/10
Congrats to Jangle&Bojangle. Join us next time for the final round!
Anyways hi I just got around to listening to LCD Soundsystem's "The Long Goodbye" and holy fuck it was incredible.

>Andrew Cyrille & Milford Graves - Dialogue of the Drums just finished this non-pitched? don't you mean not-tuned? anyways you were right it wasnt a chore to listen to, although i definittely wouoldn't call it a good album. i throw it a 6/10 for originality but if i were to put it against the test of time i'm positive that score would drop a few points.

Nalle - Wilder Shores of Love I think the first thing that would pop into many people's heads upon starting Wilder Shores of Love would be something like "Wow the singer of this band sounds exactly like Joanna Newsom." And they'd be right. This singer really does sound exactly like Joanna Newsom. The difference from Newsom comes in the album's instrumentation. Where Newsom dwells in a fantasy vision of fifteenth-century England, Nalle's music seems to come out of an untamed vision of America (at least how I interpreted it). If you were to ask me, the two most important primal aesthetics of the US are New England and the Southwest. The first track embodies these two aesthetics through contrasting a colonial-style fiddle with a tinny, frail slide guitar. The album seems to follow an arc of some sort, and it's a pleasant arc at that (I can't be totally sure on this because I didn't make any attempt to listen to the lyrics at all). But as this arc is unfolded, different instruments are explored, a map is unveiled, displaying the haggard, ancient face of this beautiful, new continent. Also I wanna say that the vocals on Bring the Traveller Back to Land were very nice. I always enjoy hearing two droning sounds interacting with one another. 7/10

John Handy - Recorded Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival Recorded Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival opens with If We Only Knew, which sees the various musicians of John Handy's band taking turns improvising with no backing (as someone with experience playing jazz, I can tell you that this is not an easy task in the slightest). These improvisations shine a spotlight on the musicians, stripping them of any failsafes. And what we get is a mixed bag. John Handy's playing is, in my opinion, unexciting. He maneuvers his way through various modal jazz cliches and seems to play with that "sexy sax" persona that I absolutely dread. Don Thompson's playing is good, but not terribly interesting. Jerry Hahn, while not doing anything wild, does access a really pleasant guitar sound. The highlight of this song is Mike White, who goes haywire on his violin. My notes on the first song can largely be transposed to the second song, dropping the stuff on the structure of the first song. This is good music, pleasant music. But I wish the musicians would break out of convention more, play more wildly and with more emotion. 6/10

I like it.
It did feel, a lot of the time, like loose assembling of random bits and bobbles of music. One instrument pops in then vanishes, another, then another. Lacked big-picture ideas or direction. At any given point, it felt like it was moving nowhere. Some points were louder, some quieter, but it never really felt like an ebb or flow in anything other than volume.
