Yeah, Divine Wings ought to be the next one to check out. Great album and one of the most popular ones among fans too.

Joanna Newsom might be 'untrained' in the conventional sense - she's said so herself - but she has been doing this for over 10 years now. Her singing is already markedly different from the 2004 debut when she had in fact only been singing for about a year since stopping in childhood. In her...

smh Y'all know nothing.

That's a shame. I suppose her voice is one of those things that splits opinions quite heavily. I know what you mean in the sense I have in the past quickly given up on some otherwise interesting albums because I didn't like the vocalist, but lucky for me, I really quite like Newsom's voice...

It never gets any heavier than what heavy bands were doing in the 70s.

For me it's been an interesting year in terms of music as I've listened to more music that was new to me than ever before, almost 300 albums in fact, but only 30 or so have been from this year. But most of those 30 were at least pretty good. Here's some of the best that I can remember enough...

Nothing. But Facebook is the main reason.

I'm not surprised this is place is so close to getting axed. Traditional forums are dying or have already died everywhere. The negativity is one thing, but I think it's sort of a result of only having a handful of active members so the negative bunch sticks out a lot more. I like forums a lot...

I'm saying Lepond's solo album would've been generic and without new ideas already in 1987. Perhaps I should've been more clear (But I will say again that this isn't necessarily bad thing although I'm not super into the style of that album or the type of bands it's imitating).

Yeah! And I've listened to some noise stuff and even within that spectrum, this track is pretty unique and, I don't know, I can just get lost in it. Nude as the News from the album "What Would the Community Think". She has a great voice and is brilliant at conveying emotions with it I reckon...

I think it's interesting that when a vocal critic like Postulate shows something he prefers, the more comparable track sounds more bland to me than the Symphony X track he was criticizing (The Threshold track, obviously - not doing anything for me). The Aphelion track is pretty cool and I do...

10/10 hair.

The guitar playing is very impressive, definitely my favourite part of the track. But as a composition the sense I get is "been there, done that."

Todd Terje is cool dancey stuff drawing a lot of influence from past decades. Richard's Soundcloud stuff is a bit hard to categorize simply due to the sheer size and variety, but it's mostly his unreleased tracks from early to mid 90s (224 tracks in total at the time of this post). It is...

That's funny.
