GLASSJAW Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I haven't listened to the Dodos in a long time, but I'm curious about their new album. The former guitarist for Calgary band Women (whose album Public Strain is an all-time favourite) joined the Dodos, but then died before anything significant was recorded. The album is supposedly heavily influenced by him and his work. Women has a great discography, and the Chad VanGaalen album Diaper Island--ALSO influenced by VanGaalen's time producing Women's work--is equally phenomenal. Everything those Women dudes touched turned to gold for a while. Maybe the Dodos got some of that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrainWetzky Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 So guys, what do you think of this years Sigur Rós album Kveikur? I think it's much better than the previous album Valtari although still not as good as their older stuff like Agaetis Byrjun, Takk or the Brackets album. I finally had time to listen to Queens of the Stone - Like Clockwork and imho, the album is much better than Era Vulgaris. I especially like songs Like Clockwork, The Vampyre of the Time and Memory, Kalopsia, I Appear Missing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9-m0Vutqes On the other hand, the new Nine Inch Nails album is utterly boring... :/ I am not much of a The National listener (actually I think I have heard only one older album twice), but my friend has persuaded me to go with her on their concert in September. She's a huge fan, so I hope I won't disappoint her by not being amused by the band. :D I remember when I was at U2 concert which was awesome, but before U2, Snow Patrol were playing and even though I liked their older albums (they had their huge radio hit chasing cars at that time) I was totally bored by their dull live performance. btw: if you know of any good concerts in September/October, post here guys, or is there a specific thread for that?

The National are great live, so even if you come in not a fan, you may end up leaving one...or, at least, be entertained. Also, if you haven't heard their last three albums, you may be surprised. They grow on you big-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 new Arcade Fire single was released just now. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15999-arcade-fire-reflektor/ and yeah it's fantastic this band can do no wrong for me. in fact, as great as Funeral is, The Suburbs is by far my favourite thing they have done. This is like their Suburbs work meets LCD. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moz Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 New Arcade Fire is amazing. Been waiting too long for this. Bring on the end of October, I want more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Your Huckleberry Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Love it! Don't know if it will ever live up to The Suburbs, but I'm really digging the new sound. I wonder if the whole album will sound like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moz Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I hope so, I really like it. I think I'll pre-order the album tomorrow. I can't wait until they hit the road again, such a good band live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hume Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 i really like Chvrches, their album leaked a little while ago and it is just perfect, non-cheesy synth pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Your Huckleberry Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Can't remember if it's been posted in this thread... What are your thoughts on the new MGMT? http://mgmt.rdioexclusives.com/optimizer.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I actually quite like that MGMT album. A big time grower, gets better with each listen. Never been a big fan of their music beyond the obvious mega hits, but I like this. Sounds like the flaming lips meets the late-era Beatles or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hume Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 it sounds like the flaming lips because it's produced by the same dude. the dude also mixed the tame impala albums. some kinda wizard. but imo, tame impala and the flaming lips have the best sounding drums since like...bonham. and the new mgmt has that same drum sound, which pumps me up. alien days is a great song.

Sounds like the flaming lips meets the late-era Beatles or something Ya, when I made that post I wasn't too keen on the album. It may have just been the mood I was in though because I've given it a few more listens and I like it more and more each time. Also, the more darker, cooler Autumn weather seems to put the sound of it in a better context for me. it sounds like the flaming lips because it's produced by the same dude. the dude also mixed the tame impala albums. some kinda wizard. but imo, tame impala and the flaming lips have the best sounding drums since like...bonham. and the new mgmt has that same drum sound, which pumps me up. alien days is a great song. Is he the wizard behind that trippy, eerie sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
