Recent Music Purchases

Yea, same as before.  You should know what to do.

I bought Somewhere In Time from Iron Maiden last night.  So far, so good.  I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it in its entireity, but uh, like I said, so far it's good!

"Clap Your Hands Say Yeah" self titled album and The Artic Monkeys' "Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not."

Both are awesome. Clap Your Hands is just fun. The Artic Monkeys while sounding kinda like how the first Strokes album sounded (very garageband-esque) is so artistically done it blows my mind.

Pick em both up. I bought both for under $12 at major retail chains. If you pay more....go iTunes.

Splendid.

Somewhere in Time is fucking great.

I bought the They Shoot Horses, Don't They album today. It's like a combination between Animal Collective and Frog Eyes (or maybe Xiu Xiu without all the pain). It's pretty crazy at times, there's none of the neverending soundscapes from any Animal Collective album, so the noise never stops.

Recent purchase for me was the OST of Tales of Legendia.  Awsome game, awsome music...must buy for fans.  Of course, I wish they added all the songs in the game on it...

Animal Collective - Feels. It's more like Spirits they've Gone than Sung Tong. Lots of incredibly tight, maddening, spiraling popsongs wrapped around crazy noise. And while the second half is still more, er, ambient like Sung Tongs, it doesn't have the 12-minute-long soundscapes that never really went anywhere, a la Sung Tongs. The slower songs all have real lyrics, are slow, quite emotional, and very moody.

there's none of the neverending soundscapes from any Animal Collective album,

As I was saying :P

By the way, what's with Avey's singing? AFAIK, his voice isn't treated at all. This man is a genius. Also, how does Panda Bear not implode?

---edit---

BTW, is "dem adler und rauche gleich" supposed to make sense by itself? It sort of needs "Prometheus steig´ auf" to stand as a complete thought :/

Shadow Gallery - Room V Special Edition
Oceansize - Effloresce

Dade, well done. I got "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah" a couple months ago and I love it. As for The Artic Monkeys, iv'e heard about them in Paste Magazine, they say they're pretty good, now I guess I have to check them out.

Last CD I bought was "Sing a longs and Lullabies - The Curious George Soundtrack" and it's absolutely fantastic. I heart Jack Johnson.

[Degolas]

Oh man do I hate the Arctic Monkeys. Can't fucking get away from them here.

I just got 2 new CD's.

David Gilmour - On An Island - This has the best CD case thingy I've ever seen.

Kevin Moore - Ghost Book

[Revchu]

New Mogwai. For once here's a band who actually benefits from building up. I think this album would have been a lot better if they just took a little bit more time to get these tracks moving. This must be the shortest Mogwai album so far, it's over in the blink of an eye.

It makes for good iPod tracks though. It can be hard to have Mogwai in there when you're on the bus and think you're listening to 3 minutes of silence or low static...

[Losfer]

Aww yeah, Gore Metal excellence.

Impaled - Mondo Medicale
Exhumed - Slaughtercult

[Nemmet]

Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets
