Brothers was a monster, one of the best of the year and I believe their best album. And they blew up off it. And yet, they still think they have to devolve onto this hit factory band? El Camino wasnt a bad album but it was a pandering album. Now that they have the ears why not return to your roots and show people who they really are instead of turning into the Alt Rock version of the Black Eyed Peas?

And yes, Danger Mouse sucks now. Hard.

This Future Islands front man is so dope. This Letterman performance is gaining him notoriety, and turns out he is a good rapper too





Apparently he is (was?) a high school drama teacher, which would make so much sense

Ive been one of his biggest stans....but your right. Everything hes done recently has been stale (I did say in this thread I enjoyed After The Disco, and I still do moreso because of James Mercer)....he is another one who needs to get back to his roots (producing Hip-Hop again).....but he definitely needs to reinvent himself much in the same way that Timbaland has been able to do it over and over again.

Branching out into another uncomfortable and unliked genre----Doom Metal

This album is produced by The Haxan Cloak so I had to check it out:

Definitely not a sound that fits my tastes but I aint gonna lie, this is kind of intriguing and I'm gonna give it some more spins. Haxan Cloak really knows how to make some dark, heavy shyt and he has definitely succeeded here.

Im a big fan of The Black Keys but Im not sure how much further they can go while maintaining a sense of "relevancy". Theyre one of a HANDFUL of BANDS today that average people can still name and reference and to keep that alive they need to keep making hits I guess....

Not feeling the new track at all really...

Swans leaked in terrible quality. I'm gonna give it a listen just because that first single has me curious. I know I shouldn't, it is doing a disservice to the music.

EDIT: You can listen to the Swans record on their site, not the highest quality but still reasonable

EDIT 2: Nevermind, this player only plays little chunks and then skips to the next track. You have to click forward constantly to keep the song playing. I'll just wait
