You called Jesu punk? Wow.

What does everyone think of the new spoon?
 
Neil Young's "Live at Massey Hall" is basically the "soundtrack" for my pathetic existance. Nest-"Trails of the Unwary" is probably my top pick metal or non-metal. FOABP is a really good album, although after Aenestisize there is a drop-off in song quality for me.
 
I was pleasantly suprised by the Because Of The Times by Kings Of Leon. I never really considered myself a fan before, but it converted me with 13 excellent tracks. A really solid album, with flashes of brilliance.

Did you like the new Spoon?
 
The new Mars Volta album is coming out this fall, I can tell its gonna be sweet. I can't believe Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (their guitarist) isn't in the top 100, he is very talented. Their singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala was in the top 100 vocalists. And their old drummer was in the top 100 drummers (he was also taught drums by my brothers friends drum teacher).
 
Velvet Revolver - Libertad

Even though I don't have it I have listened to it, it was a lot better than Contraband.
