Dessa - False Hopes

I'm going to have to delve into the Doomtree catalogue after this, absolutely brilliant mellow hip hop, with a great female MC.
 
Masochist – “History” compilation.
Quality early US black metal which bares quite a bit of similarity to their peers in Profanatica. This compilation contains their entire discography (a few demos and a couple EP’s) as well as live video footage from some shows in the early nineties. Definitely feel like I’ve got my money’s worth here..

It's funny I'm kind of the exact opposite way. I really like some of the overproduced stuff like Dimmu Borgir, and even a Satyricon album. A lot of the '80's and early '90's stuff just doesn't really seem to interest me. I like what some of the other banRAB have done with it, taking bits and pieces, adding orchestral arrangements or arabient aspects to it. I mean it's pretty cool seeing banRAB like Ulver just change so vastly so quickly. I'm still undecided about this whole French Black Metal/ Shoegaze scene going on, and I think a lot of black metal fans feel the same way about it as Noktu.
 
Despite my love of vinyl, I completely agree that some albums are meant to be on tape... some of the drone and experimental music in particular released just on cassettes wouldn't work any other way.
 
It really was one of the best albums of 2008.

Got this leaked yesterday, given it a few spins, it's really solid. Got some great beats and lyrics and some good guests.
 
For a blind leap of faith I actually ended up being very pleasantly surprised by this album, and it's been in pretty constant rotation since I first listened to it:

Warning to everyone who's posted an album over the last 7 or 8 pages. You might have PM's heading your way. There are so many albums on recent pages I want that it would take me forever. :)




If you haven't got it yet let me know. This Is My Truth isnt a terrible album but its one of the Manics poorest I think. Theres a few good tracks on it.
