Albums in Stores – September 9th, 2016 • Page 2

CRX (Nick Valensi from The Strokes) released a single yesterday that I already love.

Wilco, Norma Jean, MIA and Grouplove for me today.

 

Andrew McMahon's Fire Escape is so good!

 

Can't find The Dear Hunter on Spotify. Anyone know when that'll come?

 

Planning on buying:
Norma Jean
Okkervil River
Artifex Pereo
The Dear Hunter
Dave Hollister (soul singer--his song samples were absolutely incredible)

Might purchase:
Grouplove
Wilco
Clipping

My brother purchased Gavin DeGraw already. I'll probably check out Local Natives and Bastille just to see what's up.

 

Okkervil's good but not nearly as good as 2013's The Silver Gymnasium. But to be fair, Silver took a while to sink in and I've only listened to Away once.

 

I'm 4/4 right now with perfect albums. Artifex Pereo, Norma Jean (their best record in their 19 year career), Local Natives, and This Wild Life.

I'm sure Act V by The Dear Hunter is glorious. Anthony Green's record is nice too.

 

This record, Wrongdoers, and Redeemer are my favorites. The second half of O, God still rules though.

 

Looks like they are trying to get record sales from iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon. Probably will be there next week. They've been pushing iTunes pre-orders really hard. Trying to get on Billboard/charts. TDH has grown a lot in terms of mainstream success.

EDIT: Streaming available on the 16th.

 

New Local Natives, The Dear Hunter and The Head & The Heart for me.

 

Lots of Local Natives for me, this is one of my most anticipated for this year and it does not disappoint.

A little nervous about the Twin Atlantic record after their last disappointment. Any early thoughts on that yet?

 

My god Act V by The Dear Hunter is amazing.

 

Didn't realize there was a new Leagues album today too. Huge day!

 

Definitely check out the last two Norma Jean releases, both are excellent.

 

Damn, I'm still a month behind on new releases. I've got to catch up before late September and October hit...

 

Gonna celebrate the birth of my baby boy with some Norma Jean and The Dear Hunter. He's gonna be off to a great start.

 

If this album even competes with Wrongdoers, I'm in for a real treat. Meridional and Redeemer would be my other favorites.

 

Great to hear about Artifex. I'll be seeing them live next month but I've only heard 2-3 of the new songs yet. Hopefully the record store in town will have it in stock.

 

I've listened to the Norma Jean album 3 times now and I'm loving it. If you haven't yet, get on it.

 

So the general consensus on the new Of Mice & Men album is pretty bad I'm guessing. Wondering how it will chart.

 

Leagues - Alone Together (awsome indie pop)
City Lights
Cover Your Track
Bastile
Of Mice and Men
Artifex Pereo- Passengers
Norma Jean- Polar Similar
This Wild Life- Low Tides
Local Natives- Sunlit Youth
Anthony Green- Pixie Queen
The Dear Hunter- Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional

 

Local Natives
M.I.A.
Anthony Green
Wilco

 

Bastille, Local Natives, and Grouplove for this guy. What a week though!

 

Congrats! Enjoy it while it lasts! My dude turns 1 in 2 weeks!

 

It doesn't make sense to me that Norma Jean isn't at the top of metal core right now. Holy hell the new album is good. Pixie Queen is also my favorite AG since Avalon. TWL on the docket next.

 

Dude, that's awesome! And thank you so much!
