What Are You Listening To Lately (Part 1)

Indeed ! The last one is pretty good as well I think, the best of the last period to me.

It’s ok but kind of boring, it sounds exactly like how it was made (sending files and ideas via email from member to another for a few years), pretty good riffs glued together without a clear view of a coherent whole. So the polar opposite of their best albums in that regard. Still, it wasn’t bad and the songs worked really well live.

Then again one of my favourite albums of the past decade was done the same way, by a band “past their prime” to many people. Daughters’s you won’t get what you want:

“this album inflicts levels of disorientation, fear, and hopelessness that few records have attained in the past 20 years, giving Through Silver in Blood a shelf life that has yet to glimpse an expiration date."

STUNNING album

Punk/Hardcore ep on FXHE, Produced by Omar S. This took me by surprise and I really like it.

I first saw them on the “Souls At Zero” tour, the height of Neurosis for me. Unfortunately the album recording doesn’t come close to capturing how massive they sounded live.

Also saw Daughters of their last tour w/HEALTH and they sounded nowhere near as good as the last album. Go figure.

Gotta go older…

Speaking of nostalgia… @vvilms has me on a Rival Consoles kick, and this is his lovely cover of 'Running Up That Hill":

Ah yes … Technique era New Order. I remember sitting through a terrible BBC drama series called Making Out (TV series) - Wikipedia just so I could listen to the soundtrack that featured tracks from this LP and other bits.

But I have to agree with @DonovanDwyer that this is better :
