We have one of these for movies, I figure we should have one for albums you've listened to. You can either rate, review, point out your favorite tracks, et cetera. The thing is you can only post here after you've listened to the entire album front to back. With this we not only get to know what everyone else is listening to but possibly discover some new music as well! Guess I'll start. I've been jamming the album The Richest Man in Babylon by Thievery Corporation and just finished my most recent playthrough of it. It's a fairly complete album. Very chill. It delves mostly into lounge and trip-hop but with a pretty heavy ethnic influence, whether it be latin, jazz, or Indian music. The track that's sticking out to me is The State of the Union: [youtube]0Ao9Pdaj-n0[/youtube]
Mostly been listening to Anathema's latest album, Weather Systems. Really peaceful, ethereal album, with beautiful vocals and incredible instrumentation. Sometimes fast and breathless, sometimes soft and gorgeous, and sometimes a bit menacing, this album is really diverse. My favourite song is the second song, Untouchable Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0tkGtYpKJ0
Just finished listening to the song you linked and that was actually pretty damn awesome. Gotta check out the whole album now. EDIT: To be more specific - the instrumentation had a very post-rock vibe with vocals that fit in quite well. Weather Systems isn't on Spotify, so I'm listening to Falling Deeper from 2011. Really liking Crestfallen. Very breathy vocals.
Minus, see if you can check their previous album, We're Here Because We're Here. Falling Deeper is an album with new versions of songs from the band's doom metal days. We're Here Because We're Here is their previous proper studio album, and it was (for me) the best album of 2010 by a long shot.
Oh I like this thread already. Well I guess I'll try to avoid the obvious albums. The newest one I've listened to is De Vermis Mysteriis by high on fire. It's a concept record and the concept is rather ingenious. It's like jesus has a brother that dies as a baby and becomes a time traveler and he goes throughout to witness the worst parts of humanity. And its fucking brutal!
Ladyhawke's "Anxiety" was my last album purchase. I really like it, more guitar than her first self-titled album although I do miss the synths.
