This was left off their last album, its top

 

[Mouseboy11]

Don't remember much at all about the 2nd album, enjoyed this though

I'm a massive fan but didn't like this at all on first listen! Maybe after a few listens I'll change my mind?

[Jericode]

That new Royal Blood is excellent. Really liked King and Boilermaker that they've been playing live too, so I think I'm gonna love this new album.

I've only been through it once and enjoyed it so maybe you'll learn to like it after a couple more listens or I might fall out with it ahah.

Man that Royal Blood thing is awful. 

[priest17]

That Royal Blood one could be a mid 00s pop song. 

Not that that's a bad thing, I like it, certainly a move for them though.

I’m quite liking Ultra Mono, not loving mind, just... quite liking.

No real anthems, or ‘bangers’ in the parlance of today’s kids, more a steady flow of toe tappers. 
 

A perfectly serviceable way to pass a bus ride

For context I loved the first 2 long players.

New Deftones is brilliant. Gonna play the hell out of it.

Sufjan is also brilliant, although perhaps a bit too sprawling and one note in places, even for Sufjan. If you liked his Planetarium album (which I really did) then this is for you - if you found it a bit overlong, then you’ll probably feel the same here. Some incredible stuff amongst it all though.

Happy Sufjan day!

My word .. I love that man!!

Liked Idles more than I was expecting to. It’s not gonna win over a single person who wasn’t already a fan, and the silly lyrics schtick is starting to wear thin in places, but it’s basically just more of the same which, for now, I’m good with. Be interested to see where they go from here as I can’t imagine their sound is gonna play for much longer without them becoming a parody of themselves.

New Bob Mould out today as well

 

A new band called the pillow queens have their debut album out. Its VERY good

Wait, what?? There's new Deftones? On the same day as IDLES*? Jesus wept. What a day. 

*Obviously I love this. But I'm one of those die-hards they don't even have to try for. Which is not unlike how I used to feel about Deftones...

Will Butler was a fantastic start to a potentially loaded day for me.

[priest17]

Christ there's a lotta stuff out today.

[Quark]

Today is looking pretty damn good.  IDLES, Deftones, Kolsch, Sylvan Esso, Sufjan Stevens, plus Alicia Keys that I missed last week.

[Schinfler]

Always liked Marie Davidson! There is a new trend of DJ getting pop and I dig it!

Your list is looking a bit short mate, can I also recommend Hen Ogledd's new album for some northern Avant Garde pop fun.

There's a few others I've got my eye but there's plenty of week for that. Got The Hives live at third man records album earmarked to walk to the train station with later as well.

Didn’t realise Kolsch had a new record out. Cheers! Today is absolutely stacked.

I'll give Hen Oglesdd a go, think it was you that recommended a track a while back ? It didn't grab me at first, but I'll find space!

Probably, I bang on about them a lot and none of my mates are havin' it so that gets transferred to here generally.

I just found out its 80 minutes long though so maybe not for the feint hearted ahah.

IDLES new one is alright for me, some great stuff musically but some absolute clangers lyrically. War and Reigns seem the standouts for me personally.
