Bob, did you like the Walkmen's prior two releases? If so, I would recommend A Hundred Miles Off, despite the spotty reviews.

I enjoy the new Walkmen album too. I think it's as good as their previous two releases, so if you liked those albums, you'd probably like it.

depending on what you're into, mission of burma- the obliterati is very good fugazi-esque punk. the newest thursday album is amazing, and for some reason I really really like the gnarls barkley album.

and if you're patient, there's always sonic youth coming up in a few weeks.

The Flaming Lips : At War with Mystics
Red Hot Chili Peppers : Stadium Arcadium
Tool: 10,000 days

...And corporate rock radio cheers!

You really think their offices are in Macedonia?

Hey Bob....here are a few....

Zero 7
Electric President

I also liked their first, and nothing after that. This one has some fresh sounds on it, but wish their were some guest vocals on it. The female vocal(forget her name) isn't that strong(doesn't have to be for this style, but.....) and wish their was another voice....only through one listening though.

I haven't listened to alot of things this year, I usually dont start checking out all of the new albums by artists I have never heard of until after summer and well into fall but I do like these 3 alot:

Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere
Ghostface Killah - Fishscale
The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth

I'm confused by this. Ten of the twelve tracks have guest vocals from either Jose Gonzalez or Sia Furler, who guested on the last album too.

And after listening to the album tonight for the second time since I got it a few weeks ago, I really really really like it. Probably top three this year, maybe even number 2.

I don't know Sia Fuller, but all of the tracks Jose Gonzalez sings on are remixes of songs he wrote, and they're not as good as the originals.

No, only one of the songs is a remix of one of his tunes - "Crosses."

Oops. Lot of similar song titles, though:/.

yeah sia furler is a regular on all of zeo 7's albums so far...nice voice.

Bob,

You're probably way ahead of me on most purchases, and I know you gotten Rubies and Snow Angel

but if you can listen just for pleasantness of sound and ignore the shameless prom-anthem lyrical ploy, Snow Patrol's Eyes Open has a fantastic arena pop sound.

After that, I'd go for Maritime or Built to Spill if you haven't grabbed them yet...neither great, but both solid with some great individual songs.

Check:

Hot Chip - The Warning

Surprisingly great!

First Impressions of Earth, Room On Fire, and Is This It(all by the Strokes. Believe me this the only band for a while that I've liked every song on every CD. They actaully know how to play music

Their B-sides are better than your A+sides. Oh! Stings!
