| Week Shit, with dbizzles.
It's Saturday. I'm at work. Alone. Waiting for the phone to ring and validate my presence. It is yet to come and making a list sounded more fun. Anyway, list is albums I've jammed this week, in no order really, with a little description for each. Recs always welcome. Also, I still have a New Bermuda download card to give away lol, apparently no one fucking wants it around here. | | 1 |  | Thunder Dreamer
Capture
emo/indie stuff, I guess.
This was pretty okay. Why Bother and The Bridge were both very enjoyable. 3/5. | | 2 |  | Genghis Tron
Board Up the House
experimental/metal heavy with electronics.
I haven't heard this in years and it better suits my taste now than it did the first time I jammed it. Relief fucking rules. May bump my rating. 3.5/5 for now. | | 3 |  | Spose
Good Luck With Your Life
hip-hop
Standard Spose release. He'll never not rap about being 'a representative for people who got little dough' and how grateful he is to be able to pay his bills by rapping. Still got a soft spot for the guy and he always has some great lines and decent beats. 3/5. | | 4 |  | Infinity Shred
Long Distance
"sad EDM"
I've been listening to this off and on since I saw them open for HORSE. Still digging it and like the whole damn thing. Datadealer, Motiv and Tragic Lagger are my favorites. Interested to see fi these guys get better or worse, could go either way. 4.5/5 | | 5 |  | Isis
In the Absence of Truth
post metal
Isis is one of a few bands that took me by storm this year. I know I'm late to the party, but I don't care. Better late than never. Garden of Light, ftw. 4.5/5 | | 6 |  | Isis
Celestial
post metal
This album is a force of exhaustion and decay. See my sound off if you'd like, it's the big dopey one. Sometimes this is the ISIS I need most. 4.5/5 | | 7 |  | Xasthur
Telepathic With The Deceased
black metal
I think this was a Hawks rec on one of his recent lists. I enjoyed it a lot. I've been stuck on atmo-black for a bit so it was nice to get something a little more raw. 3.5/5 | | 8 |  | Job for a Cowboy
Sun Eater
death metal/cynic bass worship
Yeah, yeah, the band that isn't still the same band but with the same name that used to suck and released an anomaly with this that has tracks ranging from okay to great. Fuck that. I've been a JFAC fan since DOOM and while I can see why they are polarizing, I feel like people discredited them too early. Having said that, this is probably their best release even if I still like the others. 4.5/5 | | 9 |  | Falls of Rauros
Vigilance Perennial
atmo-black/folk
I've been stuck on this album for weeks. Can't stop jamming it. White Granite is my SOTY, but really the entire album is pretty much perfect and may end up in my 5's. 4.5/5 | | 10 |  | Radiohead
In Rainbows
alt-rock/experimental
This is my favorite Radiohead album by a fair margin. They really captured a special sound that they were able to vary enough with each track without ever breaking up the flow. Thom's vocals are at his best here, imo. 5/5 | | 11 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf
rock
This is my second favorite QOTSA album just behind Like Clockwork. Solid throughout, except for Another Love song- that track is pretty shit. You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I
Feel Like a Millionaire rustles my jimmies every time. 4.5/5 | | 12 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R
rock
As you can see, I'm gearing up for the new release by revisiting the pre-Clockwork era. I feel like this album had a lost of potential, but it feels inconsistent. Still really good for the most part. 3.5/5 | | 13 |  | Deafheaven
Roads to Judah
trve elite black metal/xxxtra kvlt church burning music
I've been listening to this more and more and it's one or two plain guitar lines away from being a 5. The band was still very green at this point and it shows, but holy fuck, there are some amazing moments on this album, and the 38-minute length is perfect. 4.5/5 | | 14 |  | Elder (USA-MA)
Reflections of a Floating World
stoner/prog
Just barely listened to this yesterday and it seems to wear out its welcome over its 60+ minute length. However, Sanctuary is so good that I played it again when the album was over. 3.5/5 | | 15 |  | Cocteau Twins
Heaven or Las Vegas
dream pop
Uh.... I think KILL recommended this in an Alcest thread. Which I thought was weird- that it was a KILL rec, not that it was in an Alcest thread. This is pretty lush, but really not for me. Couple catchy songs though. 3/5 | | 16 |  | Neurosis
A Sun That Never Sets
post metal/sludge
FRRRRROMMMMMMM THHHHHHHE HILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! Another band I got into hard this year. This is my favorite so far, but I still need to give a portion of their discog some more attention. What's not to love about this one? Title track is the shit, too. 5/5 | | 17 |  | Igorrr
Savage Sinusoid
???
What the fuck is this? Do I like it? Is it good? It is complete horse shit? These answers and many more remain to be known. I'm intrigued at least. ?/5 | | 18 |  | Thou
Tyrant
sludge/doom
K, so this might be the first week in months that I actually haven't listened to this, but I didn't want to end with Igorrr or an odd numbered list so I just figured I'd remind everyone that this is one of the best metal albums of all time by a band that probably has the best overall discography in the last 10 years of metal. I Was Ignored. And Judged. And Cast Down is the fucking GOAT. 5/5 | |

06.24.17 | Not big on EDM or Radio Country/Pop but open to anything else really. | RogueNine
06.24.17 | Buffalo Rodeo - Home Videos, for indie rock that is equally jammy and blissful.
Wand - Golem, for heavy psych done right. | Relinquished
06.24.17 | new '17 sludge Drug Honkey - Cloak of Skies | dbizzles
06.24.17 | Heavy psych, you say?
Lol Drug Honkey is a great name.
I'll check all of those tonight at some point. | BlazinBlitzer
06.24.17 | Garden of Light is one of my favorite ISIS songs. Gotta love the drumwork. Also, my favorite song on 9 is Arrow & Kiln; I never cared for White Granite. | dbizzles
06.25.17 | Arrow and Kiln is great. But, White Granite... God damn. Even just the intro is so lush. That song has it all. | dbizzles
06.25.17 | Yo, Rogue. Buffalo Rodeo is pretty great so far. | ThisIsTheApocalypse
06.25.17 | That Falls of Rauros album was a sweeping masterpiece. | Spec

06.25.17 | Wand coming up.
You're right, Spec. I should have been jamming them more years ago.

06.25.17 | So was The Drift. Nice album, Rogue. | dbizzles
06.25.17 | Relinquished killing it with the rec. Sounds like a slow, experimental JFAC doing their best sludge impression. Killer shit.
Recs batting .1000 | dbizzles
06.25.17 | Almost sounds like an adventurous and fully realized Snakefeast album. Love the glaring horns in Outlet of Hatred. | RogueNine
06.25.17 | Thanks man. I adore that Buffalo Rodeo EP. And Wand scratches that itch for me. | Deez
