Soundgarden-Down On The Upside

Early contenders for album of the year.

ye. - Kanye West
Saturation III - BROCKHAMPTON
St Leonards - Slowly Slowly
Who Built the Moon - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
Awake - Alison Wonderland

Assume will join them;
Love Monster - Amy Shark
Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts
This is America - Childish Gambino
Rufus Du Sol
Give yourself a try - The 1975

Most overrated piece of shit to be released in recorded history
Beerbongs & Bentleys - Post Malone.

I think this could go down as one of the greatest love ballads ever. The lyrics and melody are truly art.

Ed Sheeran. Greatest song writer of this generation, imo.

Perfect

I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

Faith No More-Angel Dust

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

Still the best album I have heard, that was produced in last 15 years

Four is decent, worse of the excuse the pun 4 albums

I'm discounting the new stufff because it isn't Bloc Party.

Outstanding early stuff compared to the drivel now

Bloc Party reminds me of every weekend for about a year or two at The Depot/299/Rics in fortitude valley.

Used to love Tumbleweed in my teens, about 25 yrs ago...

Totally separate from that.... is it odd for a 40yo to absolutely love Post Malone's - Better now ? For parity, my all time never sick of go to music is Nirvana.

Had to come here to type my displeasure of Deaf Havana

used to be one of my favourite bands but their new album is a pop pile of horse shit, i don't mind the songs individually but it isn't them, massive fucking sell outs

2 gems right here.

Typhoon - Dreams of Cannibalism.

If you like your alterna-pop with truly emotive lyrics and superb imagery, give Typhoon a listen.

Their album "White Lightning" was great.
Their newer album from earlier this year is almost as good but super depressing and I definitely do not recommend listening to it when you've just split up with the love of your life!

Jebediah-Of Someday Shambles

This came out pretty much 12 months after all their quirky singles from Slightly Odway were starting to get played everywhere.  I remember hearing the World debut of the first single "Animal" (I think it was JJJ) driving down the Mitchell Freeway to my Uni rotation at Royal Perth Hospital and thinking there must be another band called Jebediah!  

Of all the bands I've seen live I've never actually managed to see them here in Perth But as is the trend I'm hoping they do a 20 year anniversary release full album tour

The tour that supported that album opened at the Metro Sydney. The gig opened with the bagpipes and Animal and it just built and built it was fucking insane. They did 2 encores, the house lights came on and I think I counted 3 people leave. Nobody moved everyone just kept chanting "Jebs", "Jebs", "Jebs". You could feel the tension building, shit was going to go south, there was going to be a riot. It was past curfew, Kevin comes out pleads with the crowd, I remember him saying "we have nothing left to play" we'll play 1 more song then please leave. With the house lights on they played "It's raining men" which they had been rehearsing for JJJ Like a Version. Thanked the crowd and then everyone left absolutely buzzing. One of my favourite gig stories.

Hahaha, awesome stuff mate. What a fantastic riff to open a gig with!

Filter-The Amalgamut

For those into their prog rock/djent metal, this is the first track from the new album from a band called VOLA. One of my favourite 'lesser known' bands is Monuments, and I got into VOLA after they were announced as Monuments support for the next few months.

Humour me and give it one full listen    Awesome sound and one of the best film clips I have honestly ever seen.  If you get into the sound then google the lyrics and you'll appreciate them even more.  Whilst it's a little difficult to find their previous album and EP's, I have ordered all of them from Europe over the last couple of weeks.

They have been described as a cross between one of my favourite bands in Opeth, and one of those few bands I can't get into (ironically) in Meshuggah, if that helps.
