Weekly Music Trading Post

No worries. You've listened to it, so I don't really mind :)


Just anything you want to share with your swapping partner. It's best to ask them over PM if they've got the album you have in mind, what kind of music they want to hear from you and so on.
 
That's the one :)

Plus, I'm being a lot more lenient with review deadlines than the thread title would have you believe. Usually I give everyone around a fortnight before trying to drum up any interest in a new set of swaps.
 
Well if you drop out then we're down to 13 people... which means I have to drop out so it's an even amount. Have you tried megaupload or rapiRABhare yet? I honestly don't know what's wrong because that's never happened to me. Have you chosen the file you want it to go to?

Anyways people have been waiting awhile for this:

NuraberNineDream - jackhammer
+81 - storymilo
Btown787 - Antonio
Rezz - Terrible Lizard
FaSho - Awwsugar
LoathsomePete - Mojopinuk
dreadnaught - Janzoon

Remeraber the theme this week is that the album must tell a story
 
^Glad you liked that album. Pretty much one of the sweetest albums of the 60s, they always tend to get me nostalgic to those times that I never got to know.

Antonio sent me All N' All by Earth, Wind & Fire for the last trade off. I've heard this band referenced to on King Of Queens and some other instances in my life but I've never knowingly heard any music by them. I feel All N' All is a fairly accessible soul/funk record. It's filled with vocal hooks and bass lines that are a must for this genre. For now I think I'd give it a 6/10 which by no means is a bad score by me. I'd rate it this because I did enjoy the album but didn't really connect with more that a few tracks.
 
Yeah, there's not an awful lot can be done about that I'm afraid. Looks like you're gonna have to wait it out 'til the next one.

If myself and a fair amount of other participants can get our reviews done in time, let's say next Saturday at the earliest we'll start the next one.


Good man. I'll put you on the list...
 
Janszoon sent me From The Cradle To The Grave by Subhumans. It's pretty straight up british punk. On first listen the voice annoyed the hell outta me. But as I got into more I found really catchy, an a pretty good head-banger album. I don't think I'll look into more of thier work, but this album will get a few more spins if I ever want to jus rock out. Thanks buddy.

Aslo: Are we doing this this week? I'm in if so.
 
No problem glad you liked it. And I had no clue we were supposed to send a cover album, this isn't even close to being one. And the genre of stoner rock you found is spot on. You pretty much nailed the genre definition also. Fuzzy sounding rythm guitars and vocals being on the backburner.

I dont know if you have heard of the band kyuss, because they pretty much birthed stoner rock and turned out so many other banRAB and great albums. I will post a link so you can read more about them but some of the merabers from kyuss made hermano. So if you like this all there stuff is honestly way better.
 
Duga sent me..

He sent me this because I have no shoegaze in my library. From what I heard about the genre, I didn't quite expect such noisy guitars. My first listen through the album I didn't know what to think of it. This was mostly because I was listening through my crappy laptop speaker. In particular, I thought the album opener was really weak. I caught myself thinking "Oh boy, what have I got myself into?" The second listen I put headphones on and the overall experience was much better. With the headphones I could catch all the little nuances whereas with the speaker all I got was noise. I read a bit into this band and it said Medicine was the American answer to My Bloody Valentine. If they're as good as this album, I will be looking into it.
