[Miracle Violence]

Lots of good stuff coming out recently.

Julia Holter, King Krule, The Weeknd & Arctic Monkeys have all delivered albums that impressed me over the last few weeks.

Sorry brehs, but I can't get over how mediocre this Arctic Monkeys album is. Probably won't even give it another shot, bored me to death.

Will give CHVRCHES a spin soon, but seeing that they didn't do a studio version of Science and Vision on it has my excitement deflated. Haven't really dug any of their songs the way I was into The Mother We Share and S&V

EDIT: Oops, I just realized S&V is on it. Will check it out today

EDIT 2: HOLY shyt I knew the studio version of Science and Visions was going to be one of my songs of the year, and it delivered big

The Weeknd, Janelle Monae and CHVRCHES all within the last couple days.


Also, am I the only one who can't get into the Arctic Monkeys? I'll give their new album a spin, but usually they're just not for me.

Brehs, can someone pm me that Chvrches?

 

[bsmooth]

New The Naked and the Famous album has leaked

 

[Deafheaven]

chvrches is a really good album. weeknd is also amazing.

Weeknd and Janelle iTunes rips both out

we need the private group again

new Holy Ghost is solid, but a bit disappointing considering how great their debut was. It Must be the Weather might be one of the best songs they've written though.

love the new Ty Segall too, no surprises there. there isnt a better artist putting out music today

 

[AMcV'88]

has Deloreans new album leaked yet ? i really like that Destitute Time song and enjoyed their last album.



Arctic Monkeys album is ..Weeknd's albums good need to give it a few more listens.
still have Chrvches, Holy Ghost! (been really looking forward to this), Party Supplies and Willis Earl Bearl to listen to.

I like the Arctic Monkeys album but it seem more commercial than their other music, a lot more melodies and studio production

I can see a lof of their diehard and early fans being a little disappointed

me Im enjoying it

Chvrches album is ok but they need a better song writter

 

[Adam3000]

New Arcade Fire brehs, sounds like they are going with the dance theme for this album. A whole album of Sprawl II

I love moments in tracks like that, even if it's a matter of seconds
