what does it compare to? i haven't heard of baroness

thank you!

Anyone have either of the new Robert Pollard albums?

This is great. Thank you!

Its basically balls to the wall rock, with brains. Vocals are a mix between screaming and shouting, similar to Baroness. I'm probably asking a bit much for the average SOMBie to like this, and thats fine.

But here's a myspace to give you a better idea on what to expect.

Anyone have that Rachel Unthank and the Winterset "The Bairns"?
Thanks in advance.

Was this legit? If so, can I get a reup?

Anybody have the Lovers, Lead The Way / The Heat Can Melt Your Brain reissue from Viva Voce? Or at least just the bonus material?

Heres a new UP:

Get it fast tho, the lawyers are playin whack-a-mole with these.

You're welcome. More folks should be listening to this. The first few tracks, in particular, are excellent.

anyone have the new thrills album?

does anyone have that pale young gentlemen album mentioned on p4k today

Two requests:

Given to the Rising (Neurosis)
Mapmaker (Parts & Labor)

Rachel Unthank and the Winterset - The Bairns [2007]

Again, not my link. Hopefull it should be fine.

Good album, although I definitely don't rate it as high as some of the others on here.

can anybody reup the hives?

This it?

lovely! thanks

Thanks. I know I said it in the metal thread, but that Between the Buried and the Me album is AMAZING. Everyone - metal fan or not - should check it out. It's something else, that's fer sure.

So I guess The Residents made a new record...

Thanks much. Someone - can't remember who - has been singing this album's praises 'round here. Figured I should listen.

Last request:


Mourner by Caina? Someone from the metal thread?

The Historical Conquests Of Josh Ritter

upped for a friend so i thought i'd share it here.

Does anyone have any Santogold?
Also looking for The Death Set, Most Serene Republic and Shooting Spires. Anyone Gots?

Sweet. Colors really is a spectacular piece of work, so many different styles. Glad you like it.

I'm seeing them live with Dillinger Escape Plan in February. Can't come soon enough.

Still looking for "The Cool" been off for over a week but still nothing?

Thanks! Do you have any live stuff or know of a place that does? I am charmed.

no, sorry, that would be the only thing I have of them

forgive this request but i am oh so out of the loop.

could someone upload any of the following?

melt banana
animal collective
scott walker
bishop allen
boredoms
the field
jens lekman
art brut
iron and wine

Especially the Jens Lekman.

i can do I+W, give me a bit... it's in AAC, hopefully that's OK.

Iron and Wine - The Shepherd's Dog

Bishop Allen & The Broken String

It's a sweet, charming, well-written pop album, destined for the middle of my EOY list somewhere.

ah, thanks guys. those are the two i really wanted.... next two: melt banana and art brut?!

I'd be eternally grateful if someone could provide a link for the Jim Noir EP.

Danke

CunninLynguists Dirty Acres (2007)

for you hip-hop heads out there. this is good.

WTF!!

It's 11/30! No more download links for albums that have never been discussed before. How the fuck am I going to find time to ever finish this list?

I know, I know: sorry. But there's a serious hip-hop/rap void on the forums this year. Not even Kanye has showed up on many lists.

The new Ghostface should hopefully change that. And the new Wu-Tang, though I haven't heard that yet.

Indeed. Haven't heard either, but would love to.

Speaking of under-represented genres:



Ulver Shadows of the Sun

It's metal, kinda.

Metal? Under-represented? Here? Really?

Hmm. I guess, per capita, the board does better than the general population in terms of listening to metal. But there still seems to be a good deal of the board that's averse to "cookie monster" vocals and metal - anything outside of the Sabbath vibe, at least - in general. Take a look, fr'instance, at its representation on year-end lists so far. Anyway, this album is a strange breed of metal. If you haven't already, check it out. Has a contribution from Fennesz (?!)

I was referring more to the amount of discussion than number of posters. The SOMB metal contingent is "vocal minority" defined.

Whenever I give any SOMB-recommended metal records a shot, I always shut them off when those cookie monster vocals come in. Sorry, they're just so grating to me, I can't stand them. Maybe that's why I like Tool?

Vocal minority, got it. Up until 3 or 4 months ago, I couldn't handle the standard death/black/doom metal vocals. But then I fell in love with Mastodon's Leviathan. Although those lyrics are relatively tame compared to what's out there, they opened up the floodgates for me. I'm listening to "Behold the Vastness and Sorrow" off the new Wolves in the Throne Room right now and loving the unholy fuck out of it.

This Ulver album: no cookie-monster vox or what have you. I mean, I'm actually more inclined to call it an ambient album rather than a metal album except for the fact that Ulver pretty much made their name as a black metal band.

Melt-Banana - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8TCOB5Y6

Not my link, might work.

I don't know what Cookie Monster vocals are.

...Is Coal Chamber back together?

Weighing Souls with Sand by The Angelic Process. Anyone?

Wow, you really are on a cramming session

Indeed. My wife despises metal and is pretty afraid right now.

Anyone have South of the Snooty Fox by Sterling Harrison? I'm a sucker for so-called 'great lost soul albums'.
