What Are You Listening To Right Now? II

Haha, oh ok, I guess people really do have varying opinions! But False Cathedrals was indeed an awesome album as well, but I have to give props to Song in the Air too! :D
 
Ocean Blue - Cerulean

I swear by this song. It's the definition of a grower really - I thought it was rubbish when I first heard it, but now I can hardly stop listening to it.

ANATHEMA - WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE'RE HERE (2010)

Took me a few listens but listening to this now and really getting into it. I can njever quite decide whether i preferred them in their earlier days as a doom metal band but regardless, i think they do the artsy, atmospheric rock thing very well and this album is certainly no exception. At times a tight wall of sound of distorted guitars and at other times, a meditative wave of melody and male/female vocal harmonies.

The album was mixed by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree and maybe it's just me, but i think you can tell. I can imagine Porcupine Tree fans digging this.

One of my hubby's co-workers is in loooove with this band, and gave me a couple discs to rip. Gotta say, while they have a few decent songs, so far I've been unimpressed. They sound...gimmick-y. I don't know how else to put it. They remind me of that punky cover band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

Can't get enough of this song at the minute. I do generally have a preference for roots, but this song (and the album it's on) is some of the best dancehall reggae I've ever heard.

I've made the potentially life-changing decision to appoint this as my favourite Springsteen song ever. Haven't listened to the album it's off in a while, but I seem to remeraber it not being that good anyway.

^ I've listened to this song about 5 times back-to-back already and I still can't get past it. Absolutely bloody beautiful song.
