Love Mew

Saw them live recently when they came to my town (Recife, Brazil), they played a new song called Nevermore I think, it was awesome, as was the entire show. Checked their website already but couldn't find any info about a new album.

they recently stated in an interview that the rest of the writing + recording wasn't going to be happening until late 09 at the earliest, so I wouldn't expect a new album until probably summer 2010.

^My god, Dialogue with the stars is slowly becoming one of my favorite albums ever.

Reviewing the thread...

Mastodon - Crack the Skye

...seems to be the most appreciated 2009 album by people posting here. I agree with them as I am now part of the group for posting this.

 

[Lateralus14]

Most appreciated is Mastodon but let's be honest, BAN and Isis albums this year are clearly superior.

 

[Nasty-Fire]

That's what the "most appreciated" concept is all about. Generally people won't agree with you, but I guess I could; and since I never heard those, well I just won't! Heh.

I just listened to the new Manes album(Solve et Coagula) and that's some good stuff.
Manes and BAN are the best so far this year.

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

lol isis was a disappointment. mastodon and ban, on the other hand, delivered.

 

[cuntface]

isis are incredibly boring anyway

 

[Liquid Tension]

Isis was a big disappointment...

Mastodon was much better...

do they stand like that on purpose? to look as stupid as possible?

 

[GT2000]

Isis - Wavering Radiant
Crack the Skye held my interest for about two weeks.... bring back the Leviathan sound, and I'm in

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

lol @ isis, what a gigantic letdown.

atm these are rocking:
mournful congregation - the june frost
blut aus nord - mv2: dialogue with the stars
mastodon - crack the skye
ava inferi - blood of bacchus
dtp - ki
hallucinogen - in dub: live

havent really checked out any non-metal releases, I still have to listen to that mono record

 

[Kamel]

Candlemass - Death Doom Magic

 

[affinityband]

lol @ being let down by the new isis. only album theyve done thats enjoyable from start to finish

 

[Lateralus14]

Well Oceanic was amazing but I'd agree about the other two having weak spots. Panopticon was great for the first 4 songs but I pretty much never listen to the last 3 songs.

Also, listened to it again, the new Katharsis album is pretty sweet really.

 

[Lothlorien]

Still Listenable Disappointments:
mewithoutYou - It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All A Dream! It's Alright

i was pretty bored with this release. ive loved these guys for years and im not really diggin their new direction.
