Damn year continues to be an embarrassment of plenty.

You could have just left it at "an embarrassment"..

It has not been great.

This came out between Fridays, so it wasn't on a list, but I really like it!

The new, 3rd LP from Knocked Loose absolutely pummels..

 

[Nee Lewman]

I have not decided whether or not I like it and it is not the return to form that was promised but this new Kings of Leon is really impressive sounding over the old hi-fi.

Very good. Thank you.
Metalcore isn't a genre that wins me over frequently. I enjoyed this one more than most.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Shannon and the Clams is real good and the first time I have ever returned to them. May need to revisit their catalog.

The Mehldaus are brilliant, as always, connecting to Après Fauré a bit more on initial listen.

Literally my sentiments on metalcore and this album

Bach for me out the gate, but Bach is one of my favourites so not unexpected.

I love Bach, there’s just palpable emotion to the other.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the album "Poetry" from Chicago trio Dehd yet! Their brand of breezy jangly pop with reverb, minimal drumming, cool harmonies and powerful vocals is infectious AF!! I'm getting a real summer -y vibe on this one

I forgot this was out on Friday, I'll have to give it a listen today!

They need to reissue their first album (which is their best) because it goes for too much on discogs and/or because they're fairly obscure, is barely on sale at all on discogs.

I’ll second this endorsement, I’ve had this one on repeat over the weekend!

This is the "finished" 03.15.20 which I liked a lot. Very curious to see what he did to the album.

Yup. At least one new song. Announced a tour and says there will be a new album this summer! There’s a vinyl release too.

listened thru it, just some quick thoughts: I think it sounds cleaner & better mixed overall - particularly "Time". I think the album is actually a bit shorter. He lopped off some stuff I wouldn't miss but he also lopped off Feels like Summer - which kinda sucks, I would have loved to have that one on vinyl but maybe makes sense- Feels like Summer the single has been out forever at this point. I'm glad "The Violence" is mostly untouched, even the subtle changes sound weird to me but still has the same vibe - that one is my favorite. Hopefully this re-release will give this album some more recognition.

Amen Dunes new album is nauseating. Just way too much going on.
