After a few listens I'm liking the new Titus Andronicus record quite a bit. Hard to follow up The Monitor but this album is damn good.

LOVING THE NEW JESSIE WARE ALBUM.

RUNNING IS A CONTENDER FOR TRACK OF THE YEAR.

ON THE OTHER HAND, I THOUGHT THE NEW MELO-X/JESSE BOYKINS III ALBUM WAS OUT TOMORROW?

Four songs into The Haunted Man...

Whoever told Natasha that pursuing "Oh Yeah" was a good idea needs to be slapped.

Other than that, I'm liking this, but I liked the first half of Two Suns as well.

Edit: I give this one thumb up. "Oh Yeah" is the only galling misstep on here. Other than that, there's nothing really great on here, but it's a pretty good album. More straightforward and Pop at times than some of her earlier work, but it coheres nicely.

For some reason, I get the feeling that some Bat For Lashes fans might not like this much though...

did anybody check the album from Beach Fossils members side project Heavenly Beat ?
i know another member of Beach Fossils put out his DIIV project and got quite a bit of praise but never really seen this one get mentioned.

album got quite a bit of play from me when i was in Italy in the summer.
haven't really back to it like that but this song came on shuffle this morning

decent little album but tends to become pleasant background music

I hadn't heard a Bat For Lashes album before this one. She kind of reminds me of Lykke Li, who's albums I've thought were good but I never go back and listen to them. I see this album panning out the same way.

You really think so?

I can remember Lykke blowing me away at least once (probably just once) while Natasha never really impressed me on that front.
