Tenacious D - Rize of the Fenix

I was kind of disappointed with the new "tenac" album. maybe I should give it another listen. I think I just like POD so much because me and my home dawgs probably listened to that album 100000x driving around in high school trying to nail the highs in master exploder

[snipelfritz]

Cursive - I Am Gemini

My bassist was telling me about this album with kinda mixed opinion. I'd check it out, but the only other Cursive album I have is The Ugly Organ and I know nothing could even come close to that.

It doesn't come close to the Ugly Organ, not really at all. It's got some of that spirit here and there in that it's a concept album again but it doesn't have the sounds and emotion and awesome song-ness of the Ugly Organ, what an album hey! It's still one of the best albums I got this year but I consider the Ugly Organ one of the best albums I'll probably ever hear.

My friends and I spent a lot of hours doing that too, driving around listening to music, I miss it!

Rize is really good tenac, you should give it a go! For classic awesome D check out songs like Rize of the Fenix, The Roadie, Deth Starr, Ballad of Hollywood Jack, 5 Needs, Senorita.. these are awesome D songs that any D fan will love. I think.

2:54's self-titled
exitmusic - passages
metric - synthetica
aesop rock - skelethon
el-p - cancer for the cure
burial - kindred
unsuspected sounds volume 1

and not albums, but i have worn out savages' single and live ep and all of deaf club's releases...

[dase]

Om - advaitic songs
Neurosis - honour found in decay
Dinosaur Jr - I bet on sky
Baader Brains - new era hope colony
M.Akers - tough to kill

jury is still out on the new Ringo Deathstarr but currently I like it a lot more than their previous stuff.
