Default Re: Best album you have bought in the last 6 months thread.

Okay, based upon the advice of several people on here I purchased two new CD's.
Modest Mouse: Good news.... This CD is really good. I recommend it as well.
Ghostface: The Pretty Tony Album..... Ths CD is fuckin tight man, the beats are amazing, but with a def old school fell. The flows are also on point... with very few guest appearances, although the ones that are on the CD fit very well. You can tell this is a solo CD, which is saying a lot for Rap these days...

My vote goes to The Killers, with Franz Ferdinand a close second.

I agree completely! The entire CD lacks inspiration. It almost seems like they just threw it together at the last minute.

I agree, the Killers album is great. They're playing 5 minutes walk from my house next month but I couldn;t get tickets. May wander up to price the touts on the night.

Two other good recent purchases were Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's first album ("Love Burns" is just the greatest song ever ever ever) and Mark Lanegan's "Field Songs."

I recently bought The Tipping Point by The Roots. I like it, but its so damn short.

Haven't checked out Ghostface's ablum yet, but I will say I liked Method Man's cd a lot.

My vote still goes for Kanye though.

The Pixies - Live at Brixton Academy (Disclive numbered CD's). There's 4 of them from the 2nd - 5th June so these will have to be the top 4! The 3rd June was the best actual gig but I was at the other 3 so they're 'special'.

Muse - Absolution
and
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News

These two are by far and away the best two albums of the year.

[/ QUOTE ]
To these two, I will add Auf der Maur by (Melissa) Auf der Maur. I went out and got it the day it was out, but it took a few listens to really appreciate it. It's a great guitar album from a great woman.

1) Blindside : About A Burning Fire

Best melodic hardcore album to come out in the last year, period. Great, great record. These guys are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE live. If you haven't seen them play a show, do. They put on the best live performance I've ever seen. Ever. You should start to see these guys getting national attention in the next few years. Their underground following and fanbase is solid. I seriously cannot say enough about these guys.

2) Sevendust : Seasons

Very solid record. A lot more melodic than Home or Animosity with better musicianship. And Morgan Rose is still the freaking man on the drums and on his screams.

Also, The Moon and Antarctica is probably better than Good News for People Who Like Bad news

I still like the Lonesome Crowded West best of all.

I also really like American Errorism from NOFX.

Did someone say Bad Religion had a new alblum? Are they still alive?
