I just got my hands on the new 3OH!3 album. While they are just about everything i hate in music today. This album is really good and funny at times. It is electronica/hiphop

 

[moriez]

Just bought Oneohtrix Point Never - Returnal
 
Some none-everyday heavy on the synths but beatless electronica. Leaning more towards ambient but a bit raw at times.
What can I say.. electronica heads should have a go at this.

Lots of good tracks on the Eclipse OST. Haven't seen the movie and will probably only watch it when it hits DVD. Not a fan of the books/movies, but the OSTs definitely are good. 
 
I suggest you all check it out. Metric, UNKLE, Battles, Dead Weather, Beck, Muse, Vampire Weekend, SIA, Vampire Weekend and many more. Pretty amazing.

I must say I am very much looking forward to Autechre - Move of ten Cd release on 13/7/10
I enjoyed Oversteps and this sounds like the missing links

 

[virometal]

^ You should! It has been legal to download for about a month, and yeah it's good. Not Oversteps good but close, a little more straightforward expansion of some of the ideas.
 
I really like this latest batch of Autechre stuff. Then again, I really like all Autechre stuff.

Big Boi's album has been getting "OMG OMG OMG OMG THERE IS A NEW GOD!!!" reviews. 

 

[TheWuss]

yep.
4.5 stars on allmusic.
9.2/10 from pitchfork.
 
looks like he can make it without andre after all.

The Pitchfork review was very good too. It actually made sense. Is it just me or do they write rap reviews better than indie reviews?
 
Both members of OutKast are fantastic, so of course he can make it on his own. Look at Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. That was one of my first CDs, and I still love it to this day. I'm actually more worried for Andre's solo career. Big Boi is grounded enough that if he finds himself losing quality to bizarrity he can drift mainstream with ease. I'm afraid Andre is going to go to such extremes that it's not even going to be anything identifiable anymore, for better or worse.

Today (5/4) the newest Deftones released!

Diamond Eyes

It's pretty good, haven't had much serious time with it.

 
I put it in the car and have been listening to it on repeat. If this is not the apex of Deftones sound I can't wait for the next album! I was a huge White Pony fan and the releases following that were a bit disappointing so this album is truly special for me.

I'm actually gonna have to kinda disagree with you. I found Speakerboxxx to be much, much better than The Love Below. Sure, TLB had a few amazing songs, but a good majority of it was crap. That's not to say that SB is without filler. It certainly could have been cut down to about 45 minutes and been a better album, but that can be applied to about 90% of rap albums.

I like Speakerboxxx more, too. I never said which I liked more, and thought I would have implied that I liked Speakerboxxx more because I used it as an indication that he can do fine solo whereas Andre's potential was unclear. Not sure what you're arguing against, we're on the same page 

 
Anyway, it's all talk until I listen to the new album.

 

[Ynoskire]

Nothing special, but it's still nice uplifting techno.

 

[JIGF]

I got this one 3 days ago, so far I am liking La Vénus du Mélo very much; the lyrics are so fun 

.
 
Stacey Kent - Raconte-moi...
 

 

 

[sonci]

enjoying the last decent brit pop band Kula Shaker, Pilgrims Progress
The opening track seems the perfect radio hit, the album is well recorded too

I'm surprised that there hasn't been any discussion of Alcest's new album here, it's somewhere between metal and post rock. Highly recommended.
