The Slanny Ganizat Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Mastodon is definitely coming out with a new album sometime this year. Also, according to the Tool website, they are not expecting their new album until May 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But A Grounding In Numbers is my current beat album of the year. Let's see if Yes surpasses that. But I doubt anything this year will surpass my love for Snake Oil, and some other genius tracks. Hopefully Tool will be out soon but APC is touring, and I might catch them with my guitarist. Looking forward for SW stuff, BTBAM, Riverside, Astra, Opeth, and I need to get into TMV soon. Hopefully Mike and the other DT stuff will be cool. Dust Bowl is sick stuff. Really really looking forward to hearing the rest of that somewhat KC album, though.

Stormtron Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 There hasn't been a lot this year that I've really loved besides the new Between the Buried and Me, but there's some cool stuff coming later. New Opeth, Black Dahlia Murder, Toxic Holocaust, and Skeletonwitch. Possible Mastodon, Tool, and Mars Volta. The new Revocation should be good (last album was awesome). New Primus! And most importantly.....LIMP BIZKIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetersvt Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Best year for new music ever would have to be either 1969, 1970, 1971, or 1972. New music released in 2011 that I have: Warren Haynes - Man In Motion Albums that I plan to buy Rose Hill Drive - if they can get a record label and release it Edited June 10, 2011 by apetersvt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay then let's say the best year for new music in like 20 years. I think you're just a little excited, O a list of phenomenal albums that were released each year over the past 20 years (1990 to 2010) would likely overwhelm you that can't take anything away from your enjoyment of 2011 - but a little perspective would serve you well, kid!

Will do. thanks for the recommendation! edit- killer tune and a great solo. if you got the time check out the guitar starting at 1:14 in italian gore in the kings of prussia thread. songs 2 and 3 are considerably more mellow but in a good way.

Imaginos Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 To be honest, not much has rocked my boat so far this year. I've enjoyed "A Grounding in Numbers" by Van Der Graaf Generatror & "War & Peace and Other Short Stories" by Sean Filkins. Bonamassa's "Dust Bowl" is good but not great & "The King Is Dead" is not a patch on "The Hazards of Love". I was pleasantly suprised by the Foo Fighter album though.

Xanadu93 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 There are a few from the first few months of this year that might/will make it into my top five at the end of the year. The Decemberists - The King is Dead Panic! At the Disco - Vices & Virtues PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (I've only heard it once, but it was just soooo good) Radiohead - The King of Limbs Here's a few albums from this year that I like so far. Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 Cake - Showroom of Compassion Foo Fighters - Wasting Light Green Day - Awesome as F**k Lupe Fiasco - Lasers Panda Bear - Tomboy Patrick Stump - Truant Wave EP Social Distortion - Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes The Strokes - Angles Thursday - No Devolucion TV on the Radio - Nine Types of Light (I actually listened to Lady Gaga's new record, just because so many people have done nothing but rave about her music, and it didn't impress me. However, to echo another TRFer's sentiment, "Bloody Mary" is a pretty good song from the record, probably the only song I actually liked.) Upcoming releases I'm interested in Coldplay Steven Wilson Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first two songs though, it got so repetitive that I almost fell to sleep. I suppose "Government Hooker" was OK. From a user on youtube that I watch often who reviews new albums, he said that a lot of her music (to him) had replay value outside of the club setting it was meant for. But the new album really just stays in the club. I can still stick around to her earlier stuff for sentimental purposes. Other than that, I find nothing new or intriguing in her music. She's finally set herself into the stereotypical pop star (more so than she already was). I think what was going through her mind during the writing process was "How many references to the LGBT community and religion can I cram into this record". And really that's what it's about anyway. Makes me feel a bit less proud to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a few of her "older" songs (Poker Face, Bad Romance, I suppose Alejandro isn't too bad), but the record sounded too pop. And I really, really want to like her music. In interviews, she seems intelligent and well-spoken. Normally, it would help me enjoy the music, but it didn't really do much. I might go back and check out her earlier stuff, just to see if there's anything else I dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
