Albums You're Digging II

Now listening to Temple of Low Men by Crowded House... quite possibly one of their greatest, most overlooked albums... great songs about guilt, remorse, infidelity, loneliness... utterly cuts to chase and describes the dark underbelly of human emotions and love...
 
^ I've sampled his stuff before, as they've been talked about here a few times, but this song is working for me much more than anything else has in the past. And that's good, because he's on the bill with another guy whose music I like, Deru, coming up in June.

The "breakdown" type stuff that starts around 1:37 is reminiscent of some other stuff I've been listening to. Can't put my finger on a specific track though. I'm thinking Kelpe or Architeq.
 
Also my favorite Bjork album.

Right now I'm digging on this a lot:

Califone - Roots and Crowns

Sort of... I dunno. Bluesy/folky post-rock? It's music that smells like fall, feels like wet leaves and tastes like strong tea.

Yeah, the opener there's one of my favourites off of the album too. April 5th, Living In Another World and Time It's Time are all reason enough to get the album alone as well. The thing I love about the album is that it's very unique musically (some excellent vocal parts from Mark Hollis too) but perfectly accessible as well. Definitely one of the three absolutely essential albums of theirs. As for my favourite, Laughing Stock just shades it for me.
 
Between The Buried and Me-Colors

i know many people here may find this album overrated, or think this band tries to hard to be "different", but i thoroughly enjoy it and see it as one of the best cRAB/songs i've ever heard.

I got it finally, and I'm really diggin it. It just made answering the question: which of the Sgt Pepper, Piper at gates or S. F. Sorrow is the best? more and more difficult. 1967 was really a great year in music history.
 
Xinlisupreme - Tomorrow Never Comes

So back in high school, when my iPod was filled with probably 90% metal and a little bit of alternative I heard about this interesting genre called noise music. I forgot about it, then got into banRAB like NMH, rabV, Dinosaur Jr, and The Pixies. One day I sturabled across this album. Imagine my surprise when I realized that noise thing I heard about essentially corabined the layers of distortion blasting out of rabV's Loveless and the brutality of death metal. I fell in love instantly, and this was my real introduction to the genre. I ****ing love this album, it was going to be in my top 100 thread I gave up on.
