[QUOTE=Gar~;34710785]Sounds promising. I gotta look up those guys stuff.
Be sure to check into Fantasma Parastasie, you won't regret it one bit. Only flaw with it is it is a bit short.[/QUOTE]
If you have headphones, listen to Harmony In Ultraviolet. Breathtakingly good. Also his last album, Ravedeath. Creates the atmosphere of an apocalypse.

OFCOURSE I have headphones, mind you I've been meaning to get better ones.
I've been meaning to listen to Ravedeath, seen it around a lot but have never actually got into it. I'll check into Harmony in Ultraviolet aswell. Thanks for the recommendations man :D

This a mixed bag. There's some great stuff here; the title track is my favourite Maiden song and
Be Quick or Be Dead, From Here to Eternity, Childhood's End and Judas Be My Guide are all
great too, but some of the tracks here are pretty weak, especially The Appiration. In all this feels
really disjointed and isn't one of Maiden's stronger albums, but it's worth a listen just for the title track.

Forgotten jazz classic. I guess Lennie was more of an educator than a full time player so he never became a big name but his influence on jazz has made him pretty cult. anyways this album is pretty uneven, it's the most lo fi I've heard jazz go, and the title track doesn't sound like it's supposed to be on the same album as the rest. but wow that title track... i've never heard playing like that, it's like this swirling chaos of notes, fucking awesome. if the whole thing was like that it would be one of my favourite jazz albums already. unfortunately the rest is... actually still really awesome? just very simple, lefthand plays pretty interesting walking basslines and the right had explores all the melodic possibilities. never goes back into amazing territory but I enjoyed it a lot. furthest thing from a polished jazz album.
8/10

Once I heard the live version on Best of the Beast, I could never listen to the Fear of the Dark studio version. But anyways on topic, I agree on the good and bad thing. So many great songs diluted by easily ignorable filler.
Radiohead Kid A, 10/10
Burial kindred
8.5/9 out of 10

[QUOTE=Godline;34740999]Solid release 1st and 3rd track should be together followed by the 2nd[/QUOTE]
That would be a 23 minute Burial track... Hot damn.
Crystal Castles (2008) by Crystal Castles- 10/10, found myself absolutely mesmerized by some of the tracks on here, such as Magic Spells, Vanished, Crimewave, and Knights, while some tracks such as Alice Practice, Xxzxcuzx Me, and Love and Caring pretty much left me pumped. Can't really find any complaints about this album.
I find Crystal Castles II to be really horrible. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on it too.
The last album that I listened to in whole was Ganglion by Saltillo. Fantastic trip-hop with a ton of world and goa influence. 10/10. Right up there with Mezzanine with the best trip-hop albums.
woah didn't realise you liked it [i]that[/i] much. :O
I may have to give it another listen.

It's a fantastic album; it unites a massive variety of sounds under trip-hop.

The Blue Nile - Hats - 1989
[b]A[/b]
Was searching for smooth, "sophisticated" pop albums. Came across this, I had heard the name before and possibly a song but never the album.
The vocals are pretty damn bewildering. Reminiscent of David Sylvian, in fact the vibe of the record is similar to his records.
The difference here is that it's less "art" and more straight forward pop music aimed at the adult contemp generation. Whatever that means.
It's every bit as smooth as Donald Fagen's The Nightfly, but needless to say the lack of jazz on this doesn't hold it back. The drums and synths entwine beautifully on each track, and it just grooves. That's all.
It's a record best listened to in the evening, with no worries.

[b]B[/b]
Got recommended this in the music chat. Only gave it one listen but it's damned good. The overall album is good instrumentally. It drags on a bit at some parts although I'm not a seasoned post-metal/post-rock listener so anyone who listens to post-rock/metal a lot should not have a problem with that. I loved the vocals on this record though.
High points: Red in Tooth and Claw, Wake, Monument
Low point: Tement Nosce

[h2]Pink Floyd - The Final Cut[/h2]
8/10
It's more of a Roger Waters album than a Pink Floyd album, so don't expect a typical Floyd album
[b]Pros:[/b]
-David Gilmour's guitar work is brilliant as always
-The lyrics are an interesting insight into Roger's head
-Steady instrumentation from Rick Wright, Nick Mason and Roger
-The gospel choir in [i]Not Now John[/i] is fucking hilarious
-[i]The Post War Dream[/i] and [i]The Gunner's Dream[/i] are both great, moving songs
-Roger Waters' Vocals
[b]Cons:[/b]
-Roger Waters' Vocals
-The title track tries to be sad but just sounds pathetic and neurotic
-[i]When the Tigers Broke Free[/i] was a missed opportunity for another military track like [i]Bring the Boys Back Home[/i], which is a great little ditty
-So much bitching about Margret Thatcher (I know that was the concept, but it was still irritating)
[b]Best Tracks:[/b]
[i]-Not Now John[/i]
[i]-The Gunner's Dream[/i]
[i]-The Post War Dream[/i]
[b]Worst Tracks:[/b]
-[i]The Final Cut[/i]
-[i]Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert[/i]
-[i]The Fletcher Memorial Home[/i]
Now listen to [i]Not Now John[/i]

Burial - Kindred
I know someone else reviewed it but I give it a 9.9 out of 10
The title track alone I would give a ten, but the following two tracks sounded less crisp which is why I deducted.
I probably rate it as his best work so far - astounding production and so subtle.

Best Rosetta album imo.
The Galilean Satellites is awesome too but if you thought Wake/Lift was a little long then you would probably find that album even harder to get through. A Determinism of Morality does nothing for me though, still might be worth checking out for you since its their shortest by far.
listened to Kno's Death is Silent album again after neglecting it for about a year.
I'll leave the review for now, but that album hits me hard.
11:11 by Mac Lethal
Another gold album from Rhymesayers. Certainly one of my favourite rap/hippity hop albums of all time. Quirky, funny, and serious tossed together into a blender.

I like the Original 11:11 Sessions better, its a completely different album despite its name, pick it up if you get the chance.

I guess the overall mindset of the album gripped me. Also Kno is great at producing inciting beats.
