halfway through this album:

shit's pretty legit. old-style heavy metal/hard rock/some trippy psychedelic elements/70's/groovey/etc etc.

Two other albums, both very different from Return to the Sea and Arm's Way.

Return to the Sea > Vapours > A Sleep and a Forgetting > Arm's Way

thanks for this btw BrandNew, i've been listening to Vapours a bit and i am certainly enjoying it more than Arm's Way (which I also gave a second chance) but mostly it's just got me listening to Return to the Sea again (just in time for summer!)

i've been watching this guy's videos recently and they're teaching me some pretty great stuff. like, i never realised that Mercury Rev actually used to be awesome/innovative.

So I got tickets to the KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas because I really wanted to see Of Monsters and Men and it was the only show they're doing in the LA/OC area on this tour. I'm pretty stoked since I haven't been to an all day music festival in like 6 years even though I go to shows fairly regularly.

The lineup is:

THE KILLERS
JACK WHITE
FUN
M83
NEON TREES
PASSION PIT
GROUPLOVE
OF MONSTERS AND MEN
ALEX CLARE
IMAGINE DRAGONS

Now I know about a quarter of these bands very well and am a fan (The Killers, Of Monsters and Men, M83) and I've heard songs here and there of most of the other ones (Jack White, Fun, Passion Pit, Grouplove) and there's a few I just don't know at all (Neon Trees, Alex Clare, Imagine Dragons).

I kind of need a primer to check out all these bands besides the 3 I know, over the next 2-3 weeks before the show so I'm familiar with the songs. Any recommendations of the best album to start with some of these groups? I started listening to the latest Grouplove album and it's ok and I like a few tracks but a lot of it seems kind of too mainstream pop boring for my style.

Ok, this Passion Pit album is pretty darn awesome. I think MAF had it in a playlist before and I liked it in then too.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #5003 on:** November 17, 2012, 11:11:51 AM »

Its my favorite album of this year- and there were A LOT of great albums this year.

They play a ton of dance remixes of these guys on BPM. M83 has a massive Eric Prydz remix that's doing the rounds, for instance... Imagine Dragons big hit is "It's Time", and Neon Trees does a house song with Kaskade that's how I know him. That looks like a pretty good lineup of music.

Even more than Of Monsters and Men? To me the OMAM is not only my favorite album of 2012, but favorite of the last several years.

My Head is an Animal is good but I think Gossamer has more range and continues to be awesome the whole way through despite the risk in that. I need to sit down and figure out my top 5 this year- there are a lot of albums I really liked.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #5008 on:** November 17, 2012, 10:55:02 PM »

Fiona Apple's album definitely will be high on my list.

there's a lot of stuff I need to get off my ass and listen to tho, like the XX and Beach House albums

Robo · « **Reply #5009 on:** November 18, 2012, 02:56:29 AM »

The Idler Wheel is my number one. I'd probably round out the top five with Spiritualized, Frank Ocean, How to Dress Well, and maybe Ty Segall or Animal Collective.

I actually had it written down in a document on my old work terminal, but I forgot to send to to myself when I resigned.

I hated this bitch beforehand but something happened and now I can't get enough of her wtf. I guess she just took sometime to grow on me or something. The missus thinks I'm fucking nuts for liking her. But that's probably cause I have a dirty pleasure playlist that I put her in along with a bunch of other female artists.

I like Video Games, that's pretty much it. Although to be fair I haven't listened to her album

Give the paradise collection a spin. I think it's much better than born in how its matched the songs together and it includes the songs from the first album in a new arrangement.

Love that Chromatics

A friend at work and I were talking music the other night and he recommended this to me:

I can't listen to bluegrass music all the time but I do find it to be pretty good stuff generally as long as it doesn't have too much of a modern country music to it. This guy is pretty good though.

My problem with music over the last few years is that the mainstream stuff really sucks. Is it just me, or have mainstream musicians really forgotten how to make music? I hear stuff on the radio (when I have the stomach to sit through it for more than a few minutes) and I think to myself, "I was making tracks like this when I used to get drunk and find my friends keyboards as a kid."
