Here's one I really like from an old dinosaur...



It's nice to know a band that started in 1977 can still surprise me with a CD like this one.

 

[Ezequiel]

Kasabian's latest album: West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

 

[Soot and Stars]

Silversun Pickups:

Silversun is an excellent pick! I went from being mildly warm to Silversun to thinking Swoon was excellent!

Matt and Kim-Daylight
(It is impossible to not feel positive energy from this c.d.)



Katie Trotta-Demo Sessions
(beautiful piano pop from an artist who's learning to grow)

J.R. Richards-Far End of the Black
(lead singer of Dishwalla is great at creating beautiful pop textures in his music)

Hurt-Goodbye To The Machine
(Hurt hasn't made a bad c.d. yet!)

 

[Soot and Stars]

Meg and Dia-Here, Here and Here
(great pop duo)



Boys Like Girls-Love Drunk
(not as great as the first but still solid!)

Howie Day-Sound The Alarm
(so much better than his last)

A Fine Frenzy-Bomb In A Birdcage
(love Alison Sudol)

 

[Soot and Stars]

The Used-Artwork
(The Used is a guaranteed best of any year they come out for me)

Mika-The Boy Who Knew Too Much
(On par with his first)



Kid Cudi-Man on the Moon: End of the Day

Brand New-Daisy
(Their prior work had me very biased but this change in sound sunk in and I love it)

 

[Soot and Stars]

Monty Are I-Break Through The Silence
(A great but slightly too polished followup to their debut)



Pearl Jam-Backspacer
(Not their best but better than the criticism it gets)



Marilyn Manson-The High End of Low
(best since Mechanical Animals IMO)



Breaking Benjamin-Dear Agony
(way better than their last and a darker mood)

 

[Soot and Stars]

Eminem-Relapse
(Honestly Eminems best c.d. IMO)

Regina Spektor-Far
(some of best lyrics yet)

Tori Amos-Abnormally Attracted to Sin
(Still going strong and making beautiful creative music)


Ace Enders and a Million Different People-When I Hit The Ground
(great solo pop from Early November lead singer)

 

[Magic]

Pearl Jam-Backspacer
(Not their best but better than the criticism it gets)

I posted about this new album in the Pearl Jam thread, wanting to know about the album........could you follow it up and let me know about the new album? I haven't heard it yet.
