I didn't love the CCD last album, but I think I could groove with this. Good stuff.

The new The Civil Wars CD I saw was #3 on iTunes for downloads. Sweet.
New Burlap to Cashmere video for all of the two people who remember them. This is reaching Chinese Democracy levels of delay if it hasn't already.

Listening to the new Cut Copy album Zonoscope. Loving 'Take Me Over' but i really don't know if the album is going to be able to compete with In Ghost Colours which has probably risen (retroactively) to my favorite album from 2008.

As a change of pace (since those do seem to occasionally be appreciated in this thread), here's a link to the Sleaze Roxx Readers Top 20 albums of 2010.
Wouldn't normally drop a list in this thread but the vast majority of these I've spent a relatively decent bit of time listening to over the past year'ish & several still get some time from me. I figured the synopsis included with each entry might help the unfamiliar decide whether it was something worth checking out. FTR, only three of my personal five (which is what reader's submitted) made the top 20. That would be Airbourne, Scorpions, and Accept. I also had A7X at #1 and Fozzy at #4.

What happens when Willow Smith's song "Whip My Hair" gets violated by Kreator's "Phobia."

Three tunes which I've come across recently, the last two can be a bit risque - so you've been warned:
The Way It Seems - Rosco Wuestwald This is a very acoustic track and really kinda neat imho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHvpRYidLAM The Grant Spectacular - being a Di**heads cool Its a fun upbeat track - simply a fun mickey take on being trendy, I tend to work out to tunes like this (slightly dodgy lyrics) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVmmYMwFj1I The Rubber Bandits - Horse Outside This is an irish band, bit like the pogues with a touch of sex pistols ... (very dodgy lyrics - you've been warned) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljPFZrRD3J8 Last edited by Marc Vaughan : 02-15-2011 at 08:48 PM. |

Have you heard the new Whitesnake song? Not bad at all, kinda harkens back to a combo of the Slide It In sound with the gloss of the Still of the Night era. Coverdale sounds good, but looks like an unnatural freak.

I'll have to show this to my daughter. She practically turns blue in the face singing along to this in the car. So the last time, I got so annoyed/bored by it that I started singing, "I wet my hair with a fork" over and over until she started laughing and the song mercifully ended.

Heard it once to this point, didn't reach much of a conclusion on it at the time. Listened again prompted by your question & I think I've put my finger on what threw me on the first listen. I come away from it feeling like the vocal doesn't quite go with the music. I like the groove of it, thought the vocal was solid & especially for this stage of his career (he'll be 60 later this year for crying out loud), but somehow the two things don't quite fit together exactly right. Maybe that's coming from the production, maybe it's something else, but whatever it is I think it throws me off from being able to complete sell out for it. And Coverdale looks like Alice Cooper's half-brother after bad plastic surgery. For the rest of the thread, here's the song in question Love Will Set You Free, from next week's release of "Forevermore" on Frontier Records (Italian label that's steadily resurrecting the 80's and early 90's)

I don't listen to much new stuff anymore but I am digging the new Foo Fighters song "White Limo". Very much a throwback to their first record.

I think it's Coverdale with a bunch of younger guys so it comes across as a cover band sound even with Coverdale singing lead. From just a musical standpoint, you won't pick it out as being Whitesnake. It's just another hard rock band. The song suffers from too much repetition as well.

Reb Beach (48 in August) & Doug Aldridge (47) thank you for that Younger than, say, John Sykes or Adrian Vandenburg, but at worst it's a push in terms of ability to play the style. The drum slot is weaker but Cozy Powell is dead, Aynsley Dunbar is 65, and Tommy Aldridge is 61 & lost his last gig (Thin Lizzy) after breaking his collarbone in 2009. Original bassist Neal Murray has been gone from the group for more than 20 years, although Rudy Sarzo was stable as his replacement for most of a decade before they've gone through three in the past 5 years. All of that though is mostly just par for the course with the band, which starting with Slide It In in 1984, never had the same lineup for two straight albums, and that album had a different lead guitarist for the UK vs US versions. The constant switching continue with 1987's Whitesnake where the album was recorded with one set of musicians (basically the '84 lineup) but the videos & tour were with a largely different cast. In the end, I'm not sure that the sound difference you're hearing isn't mostly intentional and/or production driven. If you listen to a lot of the Frontier Records releases of the past few years, there's the same sort of thing on much of it, regardless of how many original members are left.

I picked it out as Whitesnake for sure. Almost a bit too much like some of the 80s stuff, actually. But for some older bands, that's a much better route to go in 2011 than trying to forge a new sound that fits in with what's currently in.

All 2010 releases but I'm still digging Kanye's latest. I think the 5 star ratings hold up. Pink Friday by Nicky Minaj has a bunch of really good moments, but too much of it is forgettable. Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon2 is pretty uneven as well. I think he needs to cut back on the weed, as the first album just worked as some emo sci fi concept album. The new CD still has some top notch stuff on it.

I'm getting the feeling I'm going to listen to a lot of Hinder's All American Nightmare for the rest of the year. I've liked every track from it I've heard so far & find myself liking the songs more each time I hear them.
Reminds me of a lot of the more-rock-than-metal good stuff from the 80's, just updated.

Adele is soooo amazing, great 2nd album ("21") and deservedly having massive success with it, which has only been aided further by a stellar performance at the Brit Awards :

I wanted to comment about Hometown Glory when you posted about it because I've been in love with that song ever since seeing a dance group from my wife's dance studio do a number to it. Just listened to the one linked here and goosebumps... That was a very emotional performance. Will be probably getting this and her first album. Other than that, been listening to some stuff from before 2011 but that is new to me. Among those, The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place from Explosions in the Sky while playing FMHi2011 and also from B.o.B, The Adventures of Bobby Ray. FM

Who the heck does INXS have singing for them now? I assume the reality-star-turned-homeless-guy is still homeless.
