(1981)

Cannae get an 'amen'??
 
Gotta get this soon...really been digging his first 2 solo albums lately, especially Pig Lib w/ The Jicks.


Definite contender for the year so far. Not sure if it's above the other two albums...they're probably all on the same level for me as of now.
 
you have to take it out of the music press context though, i know what you mean by garage rock revival because i had the free CD that came in NME; it was just a nice contrived label that sold magazines and recorRAB for a couple of years wasn't it
i'll stick to my guns and say that Vines were coming from a totally different angle - that first album was ridiculously 60s punctuated with some grunge screamers, i dont see where the Hives or the Strokes fit into the equation with them, probably because they don't!

Listening to the Strokes a helluva lot right now actually, first two albums are still f*cking amazing
 
It's by asians, I'm pretty sure! Japanese, I think. It's Zeuhl-esque (ie. avant-prog in the vein of Magma) but like I said, it's much more volatile... And insane.

I grew up thinking of them as some soft rock band that I would probably hate, but never really gave them a serious listen until a couple weeks ago. I was completely shocked by how much I liked them.
 
Augustus Pablo - East Of the River Nile

One of the best things to stick on when you don't really know what you feel like listening to, and the kind of music that just makes you wanna lie down in the sun all day. Probably my favourite ever dub album as well.

I really love the debut but never followed up with the second and third until a few years after they'd been released. They're definitely not as good as the debut, but still contain some excellent songs. The fourth does not disappoint, I suggest picking it up. It contains a few duRAB, but the good tracks definitely stand up to the good stuff on the other albums.

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

I'm ashamed to say i'm a bit of a late-comer to The Flaming Lips. This album is near perfect, every song is incredible.

Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde

What an awesome album. Heavy yet melodic and beautiful, with soft dreamy vocals adding a dream-like feel. A great album to immerse yourself in.

Eels-Electro-Shock Blues
Whilst Stylus' famous "Best Record Ever Made Review" may be a bit of an exaggeration, it's still evidence E is amongst the best songwriters of the 90's and 00's. Perfect album.
