the new red hot chilli peppers album
both albums by arctic monkeys
bloc party album
and a lot of good new house

Bloc Party was 2k5 bruh, unless you mean the live album, which is just Silent Alarm.

Anywho I really have to second The Kooks. What an amazing album. Its been about a month and its hardly left my deck. I listen to it when I wake up, on the ride to work, on the ride home, and when I get home. The only other album that gets half as much play is Fishscale.

[ishboo]

j dilla - the shining

[mspark]

Ghostface Killa- Fishscale
J Dilla - The Shining
T.I. - King

[mike lowrey]

I agree on The Kooks, great album, dont know when I would've listened to a single album for so long.

also good ones:

Razorlight - Razorlight
The Kooks - Inside In, Inside Out
The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth
KT Tunstall - Eye to the Telescope
Jurassic 5 - Feedback
J Dilla - The Shining
Ghostface - Fiscale

[notesee]

Just listened to that Kooks album, damn .. it's really good. Best shit I've heard in a while. Dunno how I've slept on that, do you guys use any sitess to keep you informed of music releases?

I grew up on hip-hop, and even though I don't listen to much of it anymore I still don't have many good sites/forums to keep up to date with new music releases, any suggestions would help

[werdtoyourmoms]

ahhhhhhhh.

the pretense of ownership.

[ishboo]

ahhhhhhhh.

the pretense of ownership.

hey, all i know is, nobody mentioned him before, then i say something, all of a sudden er'body loves him.

[stillthehorror]

hey, all i know is, nobody mentioned him before, then i say something, all of a sudden er'body loves him.

no, i noticed that. i'm sure his name would have been dropped regardless, though.

i just think it's sad that he got shit for killing pharcyde's and ATCQ's sound like a decade ago and then they jumped on him after he died.

[Edge_Of_Denim]

Cult Of Luna, Somewhere Along The Highway.

Cult Of Luna has reached the same place as Neurosis and Isis. Metal Perfection. Their last, Salvation, was mind-numbing. This shatters what's left of the mind. How can anything be this good? You emo and post-rock and avant types should be able to love this.

I have to show some love for Mouth Of The Architect, Ties That Blind. Their second disc and they're coming on very strong.

[monolith]

nobody & the mystic chords of memory - tree colored see

[asuzano]

islands - return to the sea

[tonaf]

surprised no one has mentioned wolf parade
or was that 05

[Ratatat]

wolf parade's album is fantastic..i thought it was 05 though

[Fade to Black]

Justin Timberlake is my favorite release of 06 thus far...this shit is like a modern day Purple Rain. If the album didn't have the rick rubin song and Pose it would be a cohesive masterpiece, the last two songs really mess it up. Timbaland took it to the next level and i don't miss the Neptunes at all on this.

[ishboo]

beirut - gulag orkestar

respect.

another great album? roots-game theory

[DJ_Flame]

Arctic Monkeys


Catchy and good to dance to yes, lyrically strong, no.

[cromulated]

beirut - gulag orkestar
the knife - silent shout
herbert - scale
bonnie prince billy - the letting go
junior boys - goodbye


also, i really like the new blackheart procession, but i'm in the minority on that one.

[snugglepony]

finally grabbed the new mastodon a few days ago... so stoked to see them tonight! saw them in a tiny club a year and half ago and they fucking slayed.

[Icarus]

Pants Yell!- "Recent Drama"

Best indie-pop/ twee to come out since their first album.
