recently purchased/acquired CD's

[ThaSaltCracka]

Someone did a post about this a while back and it seemed to be pretty popular. List any new CD's you have purchased or acquired recently so we all know whats good out right now.

Some I recently received.

Mobb Deep - Americaz Nightmare..... pretty cool cd, I def recomend it if you like hip hop, especially east coast stuff,

Masta Ace- A Long Hot Summer..... really good hip hop CD, he has some amazing lyrics on this CD.

Theodore Unit- 718.... This is Ghostfaces crew, good stuff, sort of a mixtape though.

The Shins- Chutes to Narrow.... good stuff, def recomend this if you like indie rock music

[turnipmonster]

Brad Mehldau's "Live in Tokyo". solo piano from one of the best pianists in jazz today, and an extended version of radiohead's "paranoid android".

Herbie Hancock's "The Piano". Herbie solo, nuff said.

[ThaSaltCracka]

Herbie Hancock is a weird dude, he does like Jazz then turns around and does some old school hip hop [censored]. He's a cool dude though.

[turnipmonster]

do you have "headhunters"? great funk record.

--turnipmonster

[ThaSaltCracka]

is that Herbie Hancock?

[Sponger15SB]

People who buy CDs are suckers.

[ThaSaltCracka]

why do you think I included acquired

[turnipmonster]

yes it is, it's an awesome record.

--turnipmonster

[ThaSaltCracka]

maybe I'll dl it.

[WEASEL45]

Lil' Wayne- The Carter very good CD
Method Man- Tical 0 the prequel Very good
Cormega- Legal Hustle Probably his worst CD. This shitty chick Dona is on every song. His verses are still good

Well I apologize for overlooking that but my comment still stands.

This is a very cool record. Reminds me of Sim City 3000, zoning land and building parks on the african swallow speed.

[Losing all]

The latest Slipknot isn't bad, much better than Iowa.

[turnipmonster]

glad you like it! is the new mos def out yet?

[ThaSaltCracka]

not a fan of slipknot, but it seems like a lot of the younger guys on here(except me) seem to like the hard hard rock.

Give me hip hop any day /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[ThaSaltCracka]

just saw it at BB so yeah, I will probably buy that CD. Mos Def is one of my favorite rappers.

That Herb ie Hancock is cool though, any other stuff from him worth checking out.

[ThaSaltCracka]

[censored] I started this so I might as well say that I have also heard the new Young Buck CD, its /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[Slacker13]

I listen to every type of music. My cd player consist's of Dinah Washington, Eminem, Rush, Disturbed, I have country music, you name it. The newest CD is Matt Dusk's Two Shots and I personally love the cd. Only downside is I have an urge to hit Vegas everytime I listen to it.

[ThaSaltCracka]

Slaker, you are my kinda music fan.

Who is Mike Dusk? Country?

Go get NWA- niggaz 4 Life. I am bumping that [censored] right now at the library!

Salt, it's Matt Dusk, he is the lounge singer at the Golden Nugget in LV, he is always on the show 'the casino". He sings the opening song "Two Shots" and sounds alot like Sinatra, Deano and tony bennett rolled into one. Great Vegas music.

Great Stuff!

[turnipmonster]

me too, I need to pick up the new one. I loved black on both sides. for herbie, maybe "thrust" is the only other one really like that. he's all over the map stylistically, I love his more straight ahead jazz stuff too. he plays some amazing gospel/jazz on grant green's "feelin the spirit".

--turnipmonster

[ThaSaltCracka]

Turnip, I'll see if I can find some first hand reviews of the CD for you. I am def buying it though.

[WEASEL45]

songs 8-12 kick ass

On the Mos Def?

[ThaSaltCracka]

I read some reviews from a lot of hip hop heads. It was about 75% "Hot!", 20% "ehhhh", 5% "garbage". It sounds like a concept album, so I think you will probably like it. Dare I say, Herbieish?

[WEASEL45]

sorry, young buck

[ThaSaltCracka]

I will probably have to throw it on a CD and listen to it. I like a few of the songs on the CD anyways.

[NotMitch]

Sloan- Twice Removed
The Flaming Lips- The Soft Bulletin

Both very good.

They're surprisingly good live.

[ddollevoet]

Has anyone heard the new Velvet Revolver CD? I like both singles that I've heard on the radio. Is the rest of the CD any good?

[astroglide]

i've heard it, wasn't impressed with the non-singles. i think they could produce a gnr-quality album if there wasn't pressure/hype/addiction to deal with. give them a full year with no drug hobblings and they could make a gem, who knows.

[ThaSaltCracka]

Both of there CDs are really good too. I am pleasantly surprised I like it.

[bugstud]

I'll echo the statements, and fall to pieces is not that good.

I like the new breaking benjamin cd, myself

[Allan]

I picked us some real goodies recently:

Miles: The complete Live at the Plugged Nickel

Branford Marsalis: Eternal

Mulgrew Miller: Live at Yoshi's

Complete Sibelius symphonies NY Phil with Bernstein conducting.

Bruckner 7: Kurt Sanderling conducting the Stuttgart radio orchestra

[Chris Daddy Cool]

i heard mos def came out with an album out of nowhere. i loved black on both sides, but heard this was really different. anybody have any opinions on it?

oh yea, and nas is supposed to have an album soon.

but i really haven't gotten an album since kanye west

[ThaSaltCracka]

Nas was suppose to be out by now, but I don't know what the hell happened.

[turnipmonster]

dude, talk about some good herbie hancock. I love the plugged nickel box set! I got it when it first came out.

branford's latest is great as well.

[Tyler Durden]

The new Green Day CD is pretty good. American Idiot.

[wacki]

Salt,

Just bought Masta Ace and Mobb Deep. They're not bad. I'm not used to East Coast hip hop, but I kind of liked it.

[ThaSaltCracka]

Give the Masta Ace a couple more spins. Its actually a really tight CD. As for the Mobb Deep, if you don't like it after a few spins, then maybe its not your style. It is a pretty good CD, but not their best. But still one of the better rap CD's this year.

Not use to East Coast? You like the west or the dirty dirty?

[wacki]

Ya, I'm a huge Tupac fan. I like Scarface, Eminem, Trick Daddy & Cee-Lo (Dro in da wind), DMX, Bazaar Royal (What's it all for), 50 cent, etc. I like hip hop, but west coast seems to have alot more melody to it than east coast (in general). Being a guitar player, I naturally favor melody. You know, the stuff you can kindof hum to. It's impossible to hum to alot of the east coast stuff. 50 cent is one exception to east coast not having alot of melody. As far as dirty dirty, is that south? I really don't care about what coast is what. I have friends in Cali, Texas, and on the east coast. Good music is good music.

BTW, Masta Ace is growing on me, and fast. It's more of a late night CD for me right now, when I'm a bit more calm or relaxed.

[Allan]

Are you gonna get the Seven Steps Box? I can't decide. I've got most of the music on other incarnations, so that's slowing me down.

The Branford is remarkable. Ever since he formed his own label I think he's just grown leaps and bounds. Everything he's putting out seems to be getting better and better. It's surprised me that on my best jazz of 2004 will probably be 2 ballads albums. This one and the one Joe Lovano released earlier. If you haven't heard that you should go get it. I'm really interested in the Joey Calderazzo release. Have you heard it?

Allan

[Schneids]

The only albums I've purchased in the last six months:

Epic Hero - New Life
Snow Patrol - Final Straw

[ThaSaltCracka]

Masta Ace is a good work CD man! Soda and Soap and Brooklyn Masala(sp) are awesome songs.

If you like the west more, look out for The Game. He is Dr. Dre's new protege and his cd should be coming out some time after Eminems.

Also if you like Cee-Lo, def check out his old group Goodie Mobb, in particular the CD's "soul food" and "still standing". You also can't go wrong with anything from Outkast.

[wacki]

Talib Kweli - Bought it last night. Was used as background music to poker game. It's not bad wax.

[ThaSaltCracka]

I heard that disc was alright, still haven't gotten the Mos Def /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[ThaSaltCracka]

Jimmy Eat World- Pretty good, sounds a lot like the last disc.
Ray(Original Sdtrk)- Very cool, can't wait for the film
Mos Def- Review pending.
