Anyone listened to the new Killswitch Engage?
I have listened to some tracks from that album. I don't mind the music, but those vocals are just too wierd for me!Joanna Newsom's Ys is really fucking good and one of my favorite non-metal albums of the year
I just picked it up a few days ago...
Haven't really listened to it enough to form a solid opinion.
Three tracks that stand out for me though are, The Arms of Sorrow, Daylight Dies and Desperate Times.
I really liked "The End of Heartache" and this cd has it's similarities.

I love her voice, really unique and kind of adorable not to mention melodramatic.
What's a heartache, is that like before you have a heart attack and you need to take a bayer asprin because you're an old hag!
i used to really really love her, i loved 'milk eyed mender' when i came out, but at some point i kind of started to feel like she was playing a bad joke on all of us... or at very least that her true abilities as a songwriter would be better utilized if she kinda throttled back on the freak vibe...
i still don't know exactly what i think. but Ys was a pleasantly complex surprise, so i'll give her credit for innovation and keep pondering...
