2018 New Music

[The Martini Police]

For those interested... After a long, long wait, Arctic Monkeys are announcing their 6th album a week today (Source: Blake who runs their US forum who gets everything right)

This makes it 0/3 for me with the new CHVRCHES singles, very dissapointing (though this is probably the best so far imo)

The Weeknd is dropping a new album tonight "My Dear Melancholy".

[Odessa]

This new Voidz album is shit hot.

Turned out to just be a mini album. It's okay on first listen but not a whole lot jumped out at me.

The latest Kacey Musgraves song has a hint of early Taylor to it, more pop and less country (though the country-ness is still evident).

I like this direction for her.  Acoustic stage last time she was at Glastonbury, but could well be on one of the main stages when she comes back.

 

Her new album Golden Hour came out today and it's really really great. Highly recommend to everybody who thought Reputation was shite.

Just saw that Thirty Seconds to Mars' new album is hilariously called 'America' and has a series of cringeworthy album covers such as this: (rest of them here https://www.itsnicethat.com/news/willo-perron-thirty-seconds-to-mars-america-album-cover-graphic-design-220318)

Fuck me you're not wrong.

Pointlessness tune of the decade.

[Mash011]

New Jukebox the Ghost album out today too if anyone fancies some sunny piano-led power pop with Queen harmonies. Not really a patch on their first couple albums which were excellent but worth a listen if that's your sort of thing. On to the Voidz next.

[bamber]

This caught my ear.....

That new Weeknd record bangs hard! Sounds like the old deep cuts. Reminiscent of Trilogy, hopefully more to come. Most emotionally connected stuff he's put out in years. Clear shout outs to Selena and Bella. Wasted Time and Privilege are my highlights.

I'm on my second listen now and I'm pretty sure this is the best album of 2018 so far. Tyranny had its moments but this is on another level.

[Mash011]

Great new track from Hinds here. Looking forward to the album next week.

[FloorFiller]

Only discovered him a couple of weeks ago but the new Amen Dunes album is fantastic.

 

[Mash011]

Voidz album is an odd one - very hit and miss I suppose because of how experimental it is, you've got some total trash on there like that dumb ass nu-metal riff on 'Pyramid of Bones' but also some fantastic tracks like 'Lazy Boy'. Think it's the kind of album I'll probably pick a few favourites off rather than going back to it much as an album.

[dentalplan]

Virtue hasn’t really hit my expectations (yet). I love Tyranny so I’ve been excited for this album for a while but it doesn’t seem to execute as many of its ideas, and it’s a bit of a hodgepodge compared. I remember Tyranny taking its time to properly click though so I’ll keep going with it.

Vaccines have upped their game by the way. The album I hoped English Graffiti would be. You given it a spin @Mardy?

[chemica]

I can confirm the Voidz, Kacey Musgraves and The Weeknd's new albums are all favourable. Very enjoyable mixture indeed. 

[st dan]

Really impressed with the new Vaccines album. 

I expected to give it one listen and for it to then be forgotten instantly, but I keep going back to it.

[Tremousse]

After all, I've been on efests forum for years, so I'd like to share with you my new tune, if you don't know what to listen today (I'm the vocalist) 

 

[Mash011]

Vaccines album isn't anything special to be honest. It's energetic and danceable but I don't think it really has the level of hooks to earn the hype it's getting here.

[Callum_96]

I don't know if they've been mentioned in this thread but WhenYoung are producing absolute bangers and their latest single Pretty Pure has just come out on vinyl through Yala! Records which is ran by Felix from The Maccabees and its one of my favourite songs of the year! They've got some big tour supports coming up as well, supporting Vaccines at Ally Pally and they're Peace's main support for their tour in May.

I think the hype is purely it being a decent enough album coz usually everyone hates them on here.
