The Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride

February 19, 2008

Blah. It's good. I don't care about this guy anymore though.

Cat Power - Jukebox

Release Date: January 22, 2008

Really monotonous. More of a showcase of her voice more than anything else, though I can listen to that for hours. Only thing outstanding is the one original song.

Black Mountain - In The Future

Release Date: January 22, 2008

Psychedelic prog rock to a tee. Lots of organ. Feels less ambitious than the s/t though. Still rockin.

The Raveonettes - Lust Lust Lust

Release Date: February 19, 2008

Sounds exactly like a Raveonettes album. I swear the melodies are even re-used. But it's still really good, like Chain Gang good and not that Pretty in Black shit.

Sounds a little recycled.

Beirut - The Flying Club Cup

Release Date: October 9, 2007

More grand, majestic than Gulag, and pretty good. But by the end, it all kinda sounds the same. Needs a scenic world to mix it up a little.

The Fiery Furnaces - Widow City

Release Date: October 9, 2007

Favourite Fiery Furnaces album since Blueberry Boat. They kinda let loose, just like Blueberry Boat, and that's what I like. And man, the melodies plus Elenor's voice is fantastic shit.

The Go! Team - Proof of Youth

Release Date: September 11, 2007

Not much different from Thunder, Lightning, Strike. But who cares, it's still awesome!

Sunset Rubdown - Random Spirit Lover

Release Date: October 9, 2007

Just WOW. I'll be really surprised if this doesn't end up as my favourite album this year. Besides this one crazy space age song in the middle, every song is just incredible.
