well her voice sounds as awesome as ever, but i got a bit bored by the end of the record :-/

i'll have to give it some more spins

man the old cover with him and the hanging fish was a lot better.
Gonna grab this when I get off work, not a huge wu fan but his stuff is usually great.

thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou

wow that cover is bad

It's not like there's an avocado on it or anything.

touche!

nah, it's just a bad photo (quality wise), looks dark and almost outta focus/burry)

something i was lucky to slip online and happen to clip on, utada. thank you, undo.

the blocked YSI was the new Embrace album I think. Which, by the way, is quite good if thats your thing.

Dang, Ghostface is gone. Anyone got a chance to re-up it for me?

So what's the consensus on the Ghostface album? Any good?

I love it. Much better than Pretty Toney. Only one song I really don't like ("Momma") and most of the skits are short enough to not be annoying.

My anticipation level for this album just shot through the roof.

close the ad after the 45 sec. wait......

Awesome. Thanks shimmy.

Now I can get my Wu on tonight.

1-3 tracks sound pretty good, but this is all HYPE to me.....maybe I'm just not feeling hiphop at the moment....c'mon with tha skits already....what is this 1994?

I hate the fact a lot of these rappers feel they MUST have these skits on their albums! They're rarely funny, they are never worth playing more than once and they interrupt the whole flow of the album. You're rappers, not comedians ffs!

Rant over.

Skits aside, this is pretty great so far!

I LOVE track 4 (The Champ)!

thank you! thank you!

ooh! there are skits on here, eh?!

I hereby proclaim "Heart Street Directions" to be the Greatest Skit in The History of Skits!!

hey, I know Im like 40 years behind but can I get the fiery furnaces disc? I can actually get it this time. thanks soo much if you can and if not. Die fucker!

yeah, this is a good one. i like how "clit blvd. gets wet down there."





marios, you've got a lot to learn about skits and interludes. pick up a redman album and the world of skits will be your oyster.

c'mon Futureheads!

can/will you YSI the debut album in the proper thread..??

presh!

sorry, don't have it on my hard-drive...

Pass. I've heard skits by the best of them. They just don't do anything for me and i consider them a waste of space. Just give me the good stuff...and hurry! No need for comedy. If i listen to a rap album i expect to hear rap and beats, not Richard Pryor wannabes.

Definitely. There is nothing worse than skits -- good, bad, fucking horrible -- to ruin a hip-hop album.

Man, y'all on some MoeLarryCurly-shit. You shook. Your whole project is out of order. What kinda pants you got on? Capris?!

i haven't seen this posted yet...it's not leaked but it is new. is anyone else looking forward to the electric 6 show at the double door in a few mondays?

Most Serene Republic - Phages (Tour only EP)



I know there was at least a couple of you that dug the Arts & Crafts affiliated Most Serene Republic's debut album, Underwater Cinematographer, so I'm assuming someone might want to check this out. It's called an EP, but its almost more like a mini-album than anything else. Not sure if this will ever get some kind of full release, but it deserves to be heard. After the first listen I think it could even be better than Underwater.

I didn't upload this, found it on a blog but thought I'd post it here anyway

Thanks for this!! I've been hoping to see this somewhere.

so i just stumbled across Hand on String, the new album by Mike Andrews, better known as the guy who scored Donnie Darko and Me and You and Everyone We Know, and im wondering why the hell there isnt more hype surrounding this album. quite frankly, it is stunning. from what ive heard, this is up there with the best of the year so far, imho. it is mellow, jazzy and dark, which is an odd combination that works wonderfully. it is reminiscent of Andrew Bird, Smog and Nick Drake, among others. does anyone know if the complete album has leaked? have a listen and maybe you will get as excited as i am...

http://www.elginpark.com/

edit: nevermind about the leaking business...supposedly it is already out, albeit in very limited release...ima havta get my order on

i liked the song on GVB the other day

plenty of Elliott Smith in there too

yeah, i believe that song was "Just a Thought," which is great. the song im in love with though is "Orange Meets Lemon."

Yeah, this isn't new per-say. It came out about a year ago in Europe and now is finally being released state side. And from what I remember of it, it was a huge disappointment. Nowhere near as good as "Fire."

But regardless, I am hella pumped for the show.

There's another band that can kiss my keister.

i really like the "radio ga ga" cover but besides that it's pretty meh. anyone know why this didn't come on beggars the same time as the europe release? one of those "we don't hear a single" things?

Yeah, I dunno. Maybe someone can ask at the show. Just start yelling it out during their set or something.

Lacuna Coil - Karmacode
hxxps://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=18GE1O20H2D1R2NOSM8YLT0IHF

One of the year's most anticipated metal releases. The fourth album (their first in nearly three years) by the Italian band is good, solid, melodic goth metal. Best comparison for new listeners would be to Evanescence, but Lacuna Coil are one of the originators of the male-female vocal style, and take a more classy, darker approach. There's a surprisingly good cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence". Try it out.

Cool.
Thanks, Sask.

would you mind posting a YSI of this when you get your hands on it?

proper leak of the new Built To Spill out

fy

sure thing...im hoping to get my hands on it soon enough

FINALLY....i'll be able to judge it properly.

I hate to bump this without actually having the album to post, but I've been sitting here all day at work waiting for this, can this happen soon? I didn't listen to the first leak, so I'm very much anticipating this.
