Suggest an album to me and I review it

New Young Pony Club. You can find them in my signature, the first link. I've been really into the whole indie electronic scene the past few months.
 
=OOO

So anyway, the titles pretty self-explanatory. Heres two for boo boo.

Pink Floyd "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn"

I didn't really like this album, its the first Pink Floyd album i've listened to since my taste underwent a dramatic change six or seven months ago. I did like The Gnome and Scarecrow alot though, and Chapter 24 was kind of cool too. I don't know whats the problem With Barrett's lyrics, its what kept me listening throughout the tracks i've hated and its my favorite thing about Scarecrow.

Bike was really weird, I didn't know what to expect cause i've heard really positive/negative things about it, but I liked it. It was really fucked up, which was very very enjoyable.


Pink Floyd "Animals"

I'm listening to Animals now. It was more consistent then Piper but I didn't like it overall it just kind of bored me, while the tracks I liked on Piper I really liked (but then again, the tracks I hated I really hated). I don't really love or hate any of Animals, its just kind of "okay", not my thing. Piper really wasn't either but it did have its moments.
 
Low was my first Bowie album and I loved / love it.


Anyway Crowquill. I know you once said you didn't like Alice in Chains, but maybe you'd like to give Jar of Flies a listen. It's less grungy and more well rounded than their albums. In fact, some of it comes across as being jazzy. Staley's accent might take a bit of getting used to, but he's one of the best vocalists of the 90s IMO.

I can definitely tell its Blurs guitarist, I thought it was just alright until it came up to Bittersweet Bundle Of Misery which I thought was a beautiful song, and my favorite on the album. The softer songs on the album like All Over Me are more my thing while the more rocky ones aren't, however its a solid album all in all. Its a keeper.

6.5/10

Thank's for listening Crowquill. It's not the best album ever made, but there is some interesting stuff going on. Love Travels At Illegal SpeeRAB (his most recent) is supposed to be a marked improvement. I will have to check it out sometime.

I didn't really like this at all, it was repetitive electric guitar plucking with not too striking backing instruments and a good voice, but thats the only good thing to be honest. It would've been nicer if it was slightly more varied in pace or instrumentation, like Colors And The KiRAB is a decent song and so is Cross Bones Style. The end of Moonshiner when she broke out was was okay, but the part leading up to it sucked. I thought the lyrics could be the saving grace here so I read through the worRAB and discovered they weren't. To me it just came across as its menstrual bitching about being sad placed over dull guitar parts.

Maybe the Greatest Will be better, its name implies it would be, and I hope she at least keeps her titles honest. I mean she called herself Cat Power, and her music has the power of a tiny little cat, which isn't much, but it's just enough to knock a vase over or keep you awake when you're trying to sleep.
 
They're all banRAB you'll like. Kill Sadie - Experiments in Experimentation; Kind of Like Spitting - Bridges Worth Burning; Cat Power - (I'd just go with) The Greatest, or Moonpix; Under Byen - Kyst


Also Ultra Dolphins - Why are you Laugh
 
PJ Harvey - "Uh Huh Her"

tracks you should listen to- ''no child of mine'', ''the slow drug'', ''the desperate kingdom of love'', and ''the darker days of me and him''.

actually the whole thing is great, but those are the ones i tend to skip to when i listen to it.
