Quote from "Mike": I bought the new A Perfect Circle cd "Emotive" but due to the lack of responses to my post pertaining to the band it has become apparent that nobody cares.

(fetish replies): I love "Perfect Circle"....I have both "Mer De Noms" & "Thirteenth step"....(The track "Judith" from Mer De Noms, is easily my personal favourite track for their albums). But I thought I'd wait to see some reviews for "Emotive" before committing to buying it. And the reviews I've seen thus far haven't been as positive as the previous albums, is this criticism valid??

The main thing that the critics were against was that it was mostly an album of covers, save one original. I think that it is very good. Probably won't interest people unaware of the band but for people like you an me it is worth getting.

Owen - I do perceive

this album is practically flawless, on par with the s/t debut of 2001, but more polished and experienced. and his cousin nate makes his presence known with some cello action, which is great. but its the songs that get me...man i love mike kinsella.

After a listen and a half, I must agree with not me. After some interesting, if piecemeal, eps, Kinsella has done his best work since American Football.

MMM...

Import goodness!

The Wonder Stuff: Escape from Rubbish Island
Animals that Swim: Faded Glamour: The Best of Animals that Swim

U2: How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
Pete Yorn: Live
The Hormones: Where Old Ghosts Meet (2 disc Japan version)

U2: HTDAAB

It's a decent enough album, but there's nothing you've essentially never heard before. I mean, I guess "Vertigo" is good (I'm one of the few who never heard it before today) and about halfway through, there's a couple of acoustic songs which sound slightly-newish. There's nothing wrong with the album; it just seems a little bit on autopilot. I haven't even checked MC yet. What are they giving it? I'd guess a 69 +/- 5. Later, Gators.

Well, I haven't been here in a while so my "recent" list is actually pretty damn big!
Ramones-Hey Ho Let's Go Anthology
Motorhead-Best Of 2 disc
Black Sabbath-The Best Of 2 disc
The Hives-Barely Legal
Lard-Pure Chewing Satisfaction
Van Halen-1984
Iron Maiden-Powerslave
Vandals-Fear of a Punk Planet
Vandals-Oi to the World
Handsome Boy Modeling School-White People
Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz-Crunk Juice
Leonard Cohen-Dear Heather
Reverend Horton Heat-Revival
The Donnas-Gold Medal
The Donnas-Spend The Night
Jello Biafra & The Melvins-Never Breathe What You Can't See
Saul Williams-Fader Label
Eazy E-Eazy Duz It
Eminem-Encore
Buck 65-Sore remixes ep
Mark Lanegan Band-Bubblegum
Beans-Shock City Maverick
Gwen Stefani-Love Angel Music Baby(for the girlfriend)
I had a couple major binges with some extra income coming in, but I've cut myself off for the rest of the year now. Or at least until I get my hands on the Kaada/Patton-Romances album!

This album is sick...I think hollertronix has to be one of the unsung srtists of this time.

I specifically love the track with vybz kartel.

But it is all good!

"Big Lost" is the best instrumental hip-hop track since Blockhead's "Insomniac Olympics." Totally.

yeah that blockhead album was definately under appreciated.There is not a track that i cant get down to on that whole album.

I am playing that diplo record now...u are right that track is nice.He has a nice mix out now too.

Collections of Colonies of Bees - Customer. great avant noisy weird free compositions. i love this so much.

Adem - Homesongs. this great, too...super solid pop songs. got it super cheap, which doesn't hurt.
