Yeah, let's do this! Liked the debut, maybe a little uneven, but overall good, solid 7/10. Have high hopes for this followup, which I've heard nothing from.

Zutons, cool.

The Streets leaked, too.

I was quite keen to hear the Zutons album but fuck that if the Streets is out there now.

The Streets leak^

Supposedly it's a 160kbps transcode, but whatever.

new Black Angels full length, Passover, leaked the other day. it's quite good imo. much better than the EP which i still liked.



i'll try and get a YSI up later, i'm stuck at work tho

this for real?

Yes. See http://www.soundopinions.com/forum/index.p...owtopic=789&hl=

Yeah it's real. The transcode thing just means the quality isn't as good as it's reported to be. It still sounds fine to my ears.

ok thanks, just making sure.

So what exactly is a transcode, and what's so bad about it? Just curious.

when im done listening to YYY's, I'm going to pop in the Zutons. Anybody listen to them yet, if so how is it?

A transcode is when you take a file encoded at x kbps and re-encode it to have a higher (or lower by definition, but it's rarely associated with that) bitrate than the original. For example, The Streets leak was probably 160 kpbs CBR originally, then someone took that, re-encoded it to be 172 kbps VBR. Re-encoding something that's already in a lossy format (like mp3) degrades it's quality, even if you re-encode at a higher bitrate. So basically you're getting something advertised to be better than it really is, and worse than it would be if it was just left alone.

If someone else was writing lyrics for the Zutons, they'd be a lot better band and I'd like them a whole lot more. Musically I can dig it, but it's just very dull and predictable word-wise, and when you listen to something well thought out and intelligent, such as Destroyer, then these weaknesses are that much more apparent to you.

Okay, I get it. I actually did that three months ago, burning the Rachel Stevens album and re-ripping it back to mp3, unaware of the quality decline until after I'd heard it. Still have to re-download that one.

Does anyone know if the Gnarls Barkley album "St. Elsewhere" has leaked? God i love what ive heard so far!

Rapidshare link for Zutons album not working for me, something about different IP address.
Anyone got a link for the YSI?

Cheers, Matty

Hey, A-Team

Thanks again for the Hot Chip ysi. I listened to it a couple times last ngiht. It's actually taking me a while to warm up to it, but I'm coming around. Really love the single, "Over and Over". That's all, just wanted to say thanks!

PLEASE.

j.

hey, no problemo...if i merely liked this album at first, now its beginning to really grow on me. this has somehow become one of my current favs, right up there with the big names released so far. again, i really didnt think any of their earlier work was that good, but this is completely different for me. less gimmicky, less annoying. their new direction reminds me of Aphex Twin crossed with the Notwist (the vocals are especially similar).

I really like The Warning too. My favorite song is Over and Over too. Although I think they knicked something off of one of Madonnas new singles. Nothing wrong with that.

Am I crazy, or do I hear a little Postal Service in the Hot Chip, particularly "So Glad To See You"? Album's a bit of a slow grower for me, but a grower for sure.

Wow, lots of leaks this week!


Snow Patrol - Eyes Open

Yeah, I was kinda thinking the same thing. Moreso on "Colours" though.

By the way, www.tinyurl.com is awesome!

The Vines leaked.

Here it is on a German sharing system. It's where i found it. Does anybody want me to post it in an english version?

Just a couple of re-ups for latecomers...

Flaming Lips, AWWTM - hxxp://s46.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2NO0OYOBGHCXY3AZOFN4GR6LZF
Band of Horses, EAAT - hxxp://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1YXD6XMQWRT0J3PSIPJ63GNXIA

Enjoy

im not sure if youre crazy , but there does seem to be a strong Postal Service vibe to this record, especially with the slower tracks. i still maintain that the song "Careful" sounds kinda like the Go! Team, if they traded in their pompoms for the blips and bleeps of μ-ziq.

What do you want, an eye?

I know this album is old, but can someone up Kanye's late registration, or at least addiction, the common song, drive slow, and crack music. thanks dudes.

The average thread gets about 7-15 views per post. This one gets 50.

music and math....wow.

it really matters?

Yes it does. I mean, there is one for Ambient type mus........ oh...... yeah, you probably know about that one.

Any possible re-up of Jamie Lidell's EP, Multiply Additions?
Thank you very much and I want to say HI. First post for me on this recently found forum.

Welcome to the board.

someone had to do it.

Fair Enough.
Don't get bother cause of those comments. The usual thing for any newbie on any board.

We assume anyone who asks for YSI with their first post (even if they do say please) is a freeloading dog rapist.

Feel free to prove us wrong.

in other words, if you happen to have a copy of some long lost beatles album that only you have, now would be the time to break that out.

This fucking sucks, by the way. How much watered down can these guys get? I couldn't even sit through the whole thing, I was searching for something, anything, but it's not here. Snow Patrol was a marginal band for me anyways, so I suppose this is where we part ways. I put on When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up afterwards and felt better.

thats funny 'cause I just deleted it......yeah it had 1 good song in the middle but jesus H guys, kill yourselves. now.

That bums me out, I really liked the last album. "How to Be Dead", "Spitting Games", "Chocolate", and "Run" still get regular spins.

Snow Patrol are pretty tepid to me.

But at least they let me get away with putting AT-ATs and stuff on their concert poster when they came to town....

I couldn't agree more. Already deleted and gone from my computer.

Christ, they're even doing the World Cup song
