Your Top 5 Albums of the week- Part II

Ok so, last week (or two weeks ago confuse ) we listed what albums we can't get enough of at the moment. So what are yours for THIS particular week?

I never get sick of this one....


I'm STILL on this one. boxed It's just such an amazing album, and I don't think there's one bad song on it. nod I'm really in another Pulp phase again, so...



and




Beck's Sea Change cloud9



and the latest Foo Fighters, of which I'm digging the acoustic bits better than the harder rock tracks.

It's by Devendra Banhart. The album is called Cripple crow. It's a little psychadelic sixties-like music. He sings some songs in spanish. great album!

I've been wondering what Devendra's album was like actually. hmmm I keep reading about him, (which is usually a sure sign that I'll steer clear of an artist lol ) but for some reason he intrigues me.

Depeche Mode- Playing the Angel: I've been adoring this. I'm a big fan of Depeche and this is their best album since Violator and a contender for top 3 albums of theirs. Very nice!



Wolf Parade- Apologies to the Queen Mary: I picked this up and like it quite a bit. I like the blend of synths and guitars. They've got a really good sense of rhythm.



Roxy Music- Stranded: Classic 1973 album is more polished than their first 2 releases but delivers eight great songs!



Annie- Anniemal: What haven't I said about this album already? It's quickly becoming one of my favorites of all time.



Vive la FĂȘte- Grand Prix: This is not as rough around the edges as Nuit Blanche, but it still delivers that deliciously quirky synth pop.

Just brought it today, and it sounds like it was recorded in 1974



Had 2 go back a little, but it's all good when it's Jan!



That second track, "Swim" is a kickass groove, but it really scares me when she says ""Children killing chil-dren while the... students ra-ape their tea-chers... comets fly-in' a-cross the, sky, while-the churches, bu-urn their prea-chers... "

Oh that whole disk is a work of magic nod He really develops the mood and includes some fantastic piano and classical elements too. I dj ambient music and stuff like Biosphere and Closer Muzik are right up my alley. I also liked how he fades each song into the next. (though if one dj's picks off of this...it can be maddening)

I like Chris's disk too. I am pretty amazed at his pics as they sound like songs influenced by PSB ...not the other way around. He could have dropped the I was born this way song though.

Though Neil's disk is where it's at...really good stuff. I was very disheartened that they were not going to do any vinyl presses for this realease. It's the only one...due to the length of each disc...they would have to do a 4 disk Vinyl record drool not that there is anything wrong with that. I mean it was No 20 for the BTM series as well as 20 Years in PSB history...I think that deserves 4 pieces of Vinyl...seeing as most of this music is VERY HARD to get on Vinyl, one would think that they could have done a special edition and mark it up as such.

Very easy-listening. Remakes of his best known hits, Something Got Me Started and Holding Back The Years with latin beats, a slow version of Fairground and some new tracks wich are mostly ballads but they're allright.
I'm not a big fan but I really like this album, especially to hear those songs in a totally different way.

Not that you need my approval or anything, but boy do I love Shoot Out the Lights. I've never liked it quite as much as Bright Lights Tonight, but it's a close runner-up for my favourite R&L record.

Similarly, I've always thought that Bug was slightly less thrilling than You're Living All Over Me, but Freak Scene and They Always Come always get my adrenaline going...

Where you been and green mind are my favorite dinosaur jr albums and you're indeed right that bright lights tonight is a better album.

I was really disappointed with the new Foo Fighters album. In fact since Pat Smear left they've not been the same, ditto for the original drummer. I absolutely loved the first two albums but thought the two that followed were really really poor. In Your Honour is an improvement but it should no way have been a double, especially in the format it's in. You're either battered by rock or bored by way too many bland accoustic tracks. Should've been a 13/14 track single album. All respect to Dave but his band aren't versatile or talented enough to pull of the "classic" double album trick.
