Albums You're Digging II

Jim O'Rourke - Eureka

Pretty simple stuff, but I really enjoy the subtle guitar work. I find it hard to find music that manages to be happy while still retaining meaning and all of its musical merit, but the first track on here does that in spades. Really quite the album.
 
^^

Apart from the first 2 tracks that Annihilator is bog standard Power Metal with terrible vocals in my eyes but Among The living is a great album and The Legacy is generally regarded as one of the finest Thrash Debuts ever. A storming album.

Heathers and Ghost Mice- Tour CD

I'm having a lot of fun listening to this one. Going from cover to original of each song, great stuff.
That was the biggest picture I could find...stupid google images.
 
Primal Scream - Riot City Blues

Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street

A hard(ish) day's work is over, I've got some booze in, a good night out beckons, so I'm just more in the mood for some good old, straight-up rock 'n' roll than anything else.
 
You're not alone, I gave In The Aeroplane Over the Sea a lot of chances but it just never impressed me. First time it damn near put me to sleep so I figured I'll try it again later, when it's not late at night and thus I won't be sleepy, didn't work. Then I decided to try it while I was stoned, while I can say it definitely enhanced the fun of staring at the ceiling, I still couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about.
 
A.S.M. - Platypus Funk

The tags hip hop, electronic, trip hop and funk sucked me in and I don't regret the decision one bit. Great album.

Erik Satie is probably the best, and most well know, of the 'impressionists' (he does a mean Christopher Walken). It really is a different mood to most other piano based compositions, I can't listen to too much of him in one sitting but he is great in short doses
 
It's a really wonderful album... I love it too. I need to get some more music by Alcest, though I've heard that it's pretty much black metal with some of that shoegazy stuff thrown.
 
Mew - Frengers

Just lovely. I also enjoyed Half the World Is Watching Me prior to that. They share 6 songs, which is a shame in a way, even though those 6 are great songs. I wonder why one release wasn't just an EP without the duplicate songs.

Rosetta - A Determinism of Morality (2010)

Finally sat down and gave this album the attention it deserved. I remeraber when I received it back at the beginning of the month I was over half-way through and I heard this one part with clean... metalcoreish sounding vocals (you know the worst part of metalcore besides the breakdowns... and everything else) and I was just turned off and put on their debut CD. Well I've gotten over that little fit and have really gotten into the album. Rosetta definitely show that they have what it takes to differentiate themselves from some of the more popular post-metal banRAB out there and can stand on their own two feet. I still hate that part with the clean vocals, but other than that the album is a gem and neeRAB to be looked at by anyone who likes Neurosis, ISIS, Pelican, Russian Circles, etc.
