PiL never gets old to me. This is my third time 'round listening to this album, and It's still full of surpises.

These guys signed up for my website (which I recommend checking out at The Garage Band Wiki - a Wikia Music wiki), they are a pretty hillarious group.. if you like The Office then I recommend them.
 
I've been really reaching to new thresholRAB for music recently but the top three most listened to CRAB go as follows:

1 - Propagandhi - Supporting Caste
2 - Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs
3 - Blackalicious - Melodica (1995 EP)

Gonjasufi - A Sufi and a Killer

Some lo-fi psychedelia with some hip hop leanings. His desiccated voice takes a little getting used to, but it is worth it. Gaslampkiller's production is sublime, makes me want to check out his other stuff.

forget the horrible cover and the curiosity of Pure Hell being the first all-black punk band (this album was recorded in 1978 and went unreleased for 28 years, the group had been on the NY scene since the '74); I have had this for a couple of months now and it really is a blistering riff-factory or an album. Stylistically you are looking at (and i say this because it's true) the New York Dolls on speed, the lead guitar is very prominent in the mix and they can obviously play - this ain't no Ramones template punk album.
Unfortunately by 1978 this might have sounded a bit redundant anyway, but there are some genuinely great moments on this that would have gone down in history if they'd had a better manager/been white/had less wah-wah solos, and there is a good amount of diversity across the record.

faiv traks: Noise Addiction, I Feel Bad, their version of These Boots Are Made For Walking is surprisingly not cack
 
Good call! Imperial Bedroom's an amazing album. Almost Blue's pretty good - one or two not-so-great moments on it, but solid stuff. Certainly miles better than his other covers album.


^ And these are probably my favourite two Dylan albums.
 
Psychedelic Reggae? Really? A lost classic. It barely sounRAB like Reggae but rocks my world!

Psychedelic Funk? Really? A lost classic. Does sound like Funk but it's dirty and heavy too.

Quite enjoying my listening to Mesmerize/Hypnotize by System of a Down tonight... O forgot how freaking awesomes this band's music was.....
 
The Residents - The Third Reich 'N' Roll

Everything about this album is absolutely hilarious - its name, its execution, its vocals, its atonality used for comedic value, its song titles, etcetera, etcetera. In my mind, two things made some Residents albums better than others; longer songs = better album. Also, a concept album = better album. This album has both of those factors, and therefore, it soars. The perfect deconstruction of Rolling Stones, Beatles, and even Iron Butterfly found here all clawing at each other's throats to an almost nonsensical level - it's hilarious and beautiful, like most good art out there. Every time I hear that moaning choir/synth hovering below the guitar solo playing the melody to "Hey Jude" in the COMPLETELY WRONG key, I start laughing and loving this album. Then the guys start saying "WOO WOO!" in the fashion of "Sympathy for the Devil"... It's just priceless. Amazing album.

Devin Townsend Project - Addicted!

I managed to score a leaked copy of the 2nd album of a 4 album project. It has Devin Townsend's name on it so I'm pretty much predisposed to liking it because of my fanboydom for Devin. This has a far more upbeat and danceable feel to it than all of Devin's other solo works. This album also seems much simpler, no real deep meaning to any of the songs, but rather a "have a good time" feeling to them. This album will definitely assuage some of the feelings fans had after hearing Ki because it's a lot harder in style. I just listened to a 30 minute interview with him explaining the four albums in this series and it makes Ki make a lot more sense, as well as the demise of Strapping Young Lad. After hearing about the other two albums in the series I have to say I'm incredibly excited for the next one, Deconstruction because it's apparently suppose to be just as chaotic as Strapping Young Lad but retaining the melodic nature that makes Devin's solo work so amazing.
 
The Bug - London Zoo

Really aggressive and anger-filled dubsteb, with some absolutely filthy bass on some of these tracks. Thx again to Engine for recommending it. Totally loving this.
 
Killing Joke - What's THIS For...!

I'm liking this more now, it's grown on me since the last time. I'm also going to listen to the following two albums for the first time, soon.
