Albums I listened to today.
The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
I think if you break this up to just singles its really good but it lacks as an album. A Rush and a Push and the Land is hours and I Won't Share You are two of my favorite Smiths openers and closers though.
8/10
Big Black - Songs About ****ing
I tried to listen to this during school today and sort of succeeded but I couldn't because of the people around me. It was funny telling them I was listening to Songs About ****ing though.
The Hold Steady - Boys & Girls In America
I think this is the one of the greatest rock albums of the 00s, forget all that Chiodos crap.
8/10
Beck - Odelay
Forget Nevermind, this is the best album of the 90s. Okay not really but its up there.
9/10
Big Black - Songs About ****ing
Steve Albini is probably one of the most talented people to ever grace alternative music. The classics he produced are countless, the people he's worked with ranging from Frank Black to Joanna Newsom to Kurt Cobain and making his own music too. Rapeman rules also, where would we be without him?
10/10

The DJ shadow track featuring Roots Manuva is pretty special, love the Ian Brown Remix as well. the whole album is just unreal. Its one of the albums that got me rap and dance music to be honest. Beofre hearing that I was a bit of an indie snob. From the opening Guitar it just hit me like a ton of bricks.
I love the James Brown track on that Herbaliser Cd. I do think it tails off towarRAB the end though but yea its a good pre night out cd that one.

The Divine Comedy - BANG Goes the Knighthood
I downloaded this based purely on the album artwork, with no prior knowledge of the artist or album. It turned out to be a delight. Each song is a narrative, the stuff you'd find on the soundtrack to a cheesy movie about a fifties metropolitan city. It's very enjoyable
Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First
One of the few openly irreligious banRAB I know of (Muse being another), I decided to give their stuff a spin after my friend who goes to UCLA told me the frontman is actually a professor at his school. I'd always written off BR as crappy punk, but now I realize it's quality stuff and the guy's a genius

They've always been in my library, but it's not until lately I've realized how much I ****ing love them
I do, because nothing beats actually holding an album in your hanRAB, whether it be CD or vinyl (to me, anyways). And I like the feeling of knowing I just made someone a little less broke. 
Anyways...
"Peregrine"- The Appleseed Cast
It's like post-rock minus the long, pretentious song titles and 45 minute songs.

Paebiru by Lula Cortez and Ze Ramalho
Some very cool Brazilian psychedelia, not the most consistent album but there are moments of absolute brilliance. The frustrating thing is that my version seems to be incomplete, with incomprehensible tagging.
Apparently it was recorded in 1975, but before it was released a warehouse fire destroyed almost all copies. It was re-released in 2005.
I got the debut too and i have listened to that. I really dug that too. I also have downloaded Snow Goose and Moonmadness already. :thurab:
Yeah, this is my kind of thing really. Long tracks, psychedelic, a bit of feedback, some nice guitar solos. Its all good. I cant wait to give those next two albums a listen. Mirage is just the first album in a long time that has completely blown me away from the first moment i put it on. I've played it about 6 times already and it hasnt even been 24 hours yet. This band could easily and quickly become a favourite.

Archers of Loaf - Icky Mettle.
I much prefer this to any Pavement album that I've heard. #unpopularopinion

Anyway this is what i've been digging. These are the albums I took on the 12 hour bus ride to Alton Towers. Old favourites.
Great for driving through the countryside and looking through the window.

Do you not like Kyuss? It does in many ways serve as a transition from Kyuss to QOTSA. For example there is a lot more in their first album that you could compare to Kyuss than there is in Lullabies. I feel its their most sludge-ish, repetitive at times, stoner rock album. They started to really move away from it after that album by album.
Yeah, I would go along with that. I think the move away from everything that was Kyuss was gradual though rather than achieved with the self titled. I assume you feel similar even if not word for word if you feel you could be swayed in your opinion?
Im surprised you hate the self titled though, I must admit. But each to their own.
