post rock?

fantomas - suspended animation
apse - s/t

two very good post rock albums, especially the latter which has been spinning constantly for the last week or so

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Tom Waits - Nighthawks At The Diner.

Also a must have tbh is:
The Eels - Electro Shock Blues. A lot of people talk about albums which take you on a journey, but this album really does. Members of his family had died before making this record etc, and it quite simply takes you from grief to acceptance, a truly inspiring album.

May I suggest 'The Cult's' 2001 album 'Beyond Good and Evil'

Much heavier than their old school stuff but a brilliant album IMHO.

melchy · 10 Jan 2006 at 09:04

Depeche Mode - Violator
Fields of the Nephilim - The Nephilim (I prefer it to Elizium)
Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny of Souls
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Concrete Blonde - Still in Hollywood
The Sisters of Mercy - Floodland (Had to be said)
Pop Will Eat Itself - PWEI Product (Most of the best stuff on one Album)
Curve - The Way of Curve (Again a sort of greatest hits)

LOOK
AT
THAT
OMG

I just saw that, read the review:

but the climax of the concert had occurred much earlier, in "viðrar vel til loftárása". i have already mentioned the long silence before the line "við riðum heimsendi". though this was particularly sweet, nothing could have prepared me for the flood of emotions that came upon hearing jónsi singing the line "the best thing god has created is a new day". in one instant all the memories of my life appeared to me, just as is said to happen when we die. i saw a white light which was not of this world, all the muscles in my body contracted in one brief moment, and an indescribably blissful shiver ran through me when the muscles all relaxed at once. a tear fell down my right cheek and i had to tighten the grip on my significant other, sitting to my right.

the person sitting to my left ran off shortly after this song and didn't come back. i imagine the song touched him so deeply that he realized he had made a mistake and decided to run down the stairs, into the embrace of his loved one. just like in the movies. except it's real.

Watch the video clip of Untitled 8, the use of lighting and shadows in that concert looks SPECTACULAR.

Basically, sell your mother on the streets to get to this concert!!!!!

I haven't heard Up The Bracket much, but 'The Libertines: The Libertines' is very good in my opinion.
I'd also suggest:
Hot Fuss - The Killers
Final Straw - Snow Patrol
Employment - Kaiser Chiefs
(something by) - Led Zep.
Hopes and Fears - Keane
Funeral - Arcade Fire
Origin of Symetry - Muse
Greatest hits - Red hot chili peppers

DRZ · 14 Jan 2006 at 04:41

The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

The fact you've only mentioned that CoCa album implies you think it's their best?

And come on! Curtain Call a must buy? It doesn't even have his best songs on!

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, Thats What I'm Not.

An exceptional debut album, only marred by a sub-par performance of a mediocre at best song (Riot Van).

And a re-tune button so that you can tune into silverchairFM

Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust
Kruder and Dorfmeister - The K&D Sessions
Burger/Ink - Las Vegas

All very much different from each other, but equally superb.
