Albums in Stores – June 17th, 2016 • Page 2

Also listened to: RHCP, Jake Bugg, The Tragically Hip, Laura Mvula.

Besides Laura Mvula, nothing was remarkable but they were all pleasant surprises. Definitely recommend the Mvula album.

Also, the p4k review of Bugg was one of the articles I have enjoyed reading least on their site. Between that one, the Temper Trap review, the Band of Horses review, and the Peter Bjorn and John review they put up, it's been a very bad week for their reviewers.

 

New Sherwood. Yay.

For a new single, I highly recommend:

Maggie Rogers - Alaska

 

Agreed, "a different light" is a record I still spin time to time and thoroughly still enjoy. This album is on par, or tops that for me. The tempo changes that give so many of his melodies "earworm" status for me. Glad someone else loves it as well!

 

WTF, I See Stars new album is actually somewhat tolerable... how?!?!

 

Nails and Gojira are incredible

 

My thoughts exactly there's been like no press for it either.

 

New one from Gojira is pretty great. My vinyl should be at my house today. I picked up a CD of Radiohead today. I'll also give the new DJ Shadow a spin. His "Endtroducing..." Is a top 5 album of all time for me, but his newer stuff just doesn't hit me even close like that one does.

Listening to NAILS now as I type.

 

Been listening to Sherwood for the last two weeks. Awesome album, start to finish!

 

YG, RHCP, Sherwood, Unlocking The Truth. Still gotta listen to Mitski.

 

That Gates album is great.

 

Sherwood and With Confidence are both great releases, enjoyed both very much so on first listen...

 

I have listened to nothing today but Told Slant. looking forward to checking out Mitski and NAILS later this afternoon.

 

YG - Still Brazy
Laura Mvula - The Dreaming Room
Mitski- Puberty 2
Let's Eat Grandma - I, Gemini
Margaret Glapsy - Emotions And Math

All worth your time

 

YG's new album is amazing.

 

Trash Boat, TFK, Avion Roe

 

Didn't that Mogwai album come out in, like, March? Or am I totally crazy?

As for new releases, You Fail Me Redux just came in.

 

Really? I checked out that song with Soupy and didn't think it was anything special. But you saying it's better than ND & Roam makes me curious. I always assumed the people praising Trash Boat were the same ones who act like ND is the greatest thing ever.

 

Yeah to be honest I never thought Neck Deep was anything special and don't get all the hype surrounding them. They've had a couple songs I've enjoyed but I was never impressed. I actually like Roam more than Neck Deep as well.

Trash Boat has more of a heavier, almost hardcore influence to some of the songs on this album. In terms of their less heavy songs, they definitely fall more into the Story So Far/Knuckle Puck type of pop-punk as opposed to the State Champs/Neck Deep type. Soupy also got a co-write credit on the entire album, which probably helped a lot. I'd recommend listening to the rest of the album but I don't exactly know what your personal mileage is with pop-punk. A lot of people on here have all but moved on from the genre so I never know when to tell people to check a given band out or not.

 

Trash Boat is just as bad as the other mediocre UK Pop Punk bands. Their best song is a bad Knuckle Puck rip off.

 

I've got this album for a few days too. Been spinning it for a few times and I must say this band sounds amazing. They have made a huge step forward with their first album. I'm curious how they will evolve in the future. For now this is my AOTY. All the songs on this album are amazing. If I had to pick three favourite song from the album for now, I would say "The Guise Of a Mother"," You Know, You Know, You Know", and "Thing Quarry".

 

With Confidence - Bad Weather . I have been listening to it a few times, and I can't say I don't like it, but it has to grow for me a bit.

Also I listened to a few albums that weren't on this list.

Trash Boat - Nothing I write you can change what you've been trough . This is my AOTY. Words can't describe how I am blown away by this album.

I See Stars - Treehouse" Their new album sounds different than their previous ones, but I have to listen to it a few times more before I can say how i feel about the newer sound.

The new Red Hot Chilli Peppers is one I haven't listened to. Is it a good new album?
