Best albums of 2017 - Playlists in post #1 (1 Viewer)

I'll have to dive into that Districts.. the singles didn't shake me up much.

Spotsfiy release radar playlist:

- GBV with yet another new album? I feel like I probably already wrote that out whenever it first came out. 

- just got to the Districts single, will you please be quiet please. liking this one a lot.

eta: scanning ahead- whoa.. new orbital and matt bianco- blasts from my waaaay back. looking forward to those and: horrors, destroyer, the bronx, twin peaks

eta2: ok, the orbital sounds just like orbits, the schnozzberry sounds just like schnozzberry and the matt bianco sounds just like matt bianco. 

sneaking in there though... Downtown Boys. I mentioned a while back being obsessed with their offshoot cumbia/punk outfit Malportado Kids. Clara Rancia, from Downtown Boys' new album picks up a lot of that. will have to listen to the rest.

@rockaction

liking this one a bit- love the energy the female lead singer brings more than anything else... especially with the songs in spanished.

 
Dasher's album Sodium is kinda there for me... a bit too much of the death-metally screaming, but at least over good punk/post guitar driven stuff. I think I'll have to be in the right mood for it scratch my itch just right.

kinda liking Tall Juan's Olden Goldies too, but with singer issues there as well for me- a bit too goofy.

Death Cab singer Ben Gibbard covered Teenage Fanclub's 1991 album Bandwagonesque in its entirety.   It's not a revelation but it's still worth a listen if you're a fan of either band

I like this a lot, particularly The Concept

 
weekly new release radar... looking down the list with the following jumping out at me:

Grizzly Bear (typical- good but not grabby), Canshaker Pi (ok), LCD Soundsystem (! fun), Perfume Genius, Protomartyr, Death from above 1979, Dodos, Derevolutions, Downtown Boys.

fingers' crossed.

eta: updates in red above

The LCD song is the best of their 3 so far IMO. Everything Everything have a new album out today as well.

Anyone listened to the new Brand new yet? @Steve Tasker @rockaction

Actually, I've gotten through the first half. It's moody, and a grower. Thing is, I'm steeped in post-rock and loud/soft dynamics and then onto the non-payoff portion/slow burn phase of post-rock, so what Brand New is doing isn't as radical as what the reviews say, just different for a general audience. 

It's still really, really good so far. I'll post more in this comment via an edit when I'm done listening to the whole thing as an entity. (I keep listening to the first three tracks -- they're quite good, taken together.)

 
So I got through the first three tracks of Royal Blood and all it made me want to do, which I did, was listen to a band from the late '90s/early aughts. 

I put on the Hives, and they did not disappoint. I suppose it you're going to do it, you might as well be the best at it. 

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ah, this might explain it. I typed in both names to an internet search and came up with this: 

“I think I was thinking of The Hives or something,” Kerr told The Daily Telegraph of lead single “I Only Lie When I Love You”. “I was thinking of The Rolling Stones and being 16 when I was making it, something that was more roll than rock.”

Yeah, considering I immediately switched over to listen to Veni Vidi Vicious immediately after that song without knowing, well...

guess you were thinking of them, guy.

Rips debut LP, Rips is hitting a lot of sweet spots for me. I think I just heard some Felt in there, along with the usual post-punk brooklyn suspects (I see you, parquet courts- especially in the vocal stylings). guitars, but not overly aggressive. 

eta: bandcamp

this is really reminding me of somebody- especially some of the "harmonies" on the first tune... spacing on it. good stuff.

If you told me this Casual Friday's album was the B sides of Weezer's Blue album, I would not be surprised at all.  Really like this one.

it's really good. and it's still bugging me... the paired vocals- one more high and yelled, the other deeper and more spoken... that's what really reminds me of... dammit. it will come to me eventually.

eta: but I"m definitely hearing the Weezer connection now. good call on that @Brony

Vocally it's got a Rosenstock/PUP/Direct Hit! thing going on.

Reminds me of Third Eye Blind, but for some reason I didn't immediately turn it off.

This album isn't too far off (and most similar to) The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me... which is to say it's really ####### good.

El Floppo turned me on to this in the punk thread I bumped. 

Idles' "Brutalism" is the first new punk album I've heard in a long time that I've liked. It's out there, but it's good. I mean really good. They're punk, but they have a System Of A Down vibe going on with the lyrics and delivery that pushes them over the top. They can also be crazily melodic.  

It's heavy, it's barked lyrics, it's funny, it's sad, it's angry. I haven't been able to stop listening for, oh, two or three days now.

This is like the 3rd reference to this band I've seen in the last month.  I think I'm going in.  

 
Did everyone see PUP's choose your own adventure video for "Old Wounds" today? Youtube apparently shared it on their social media sites (Facebook at least), feel like this band becoming pretty big is inevitbale. Would love to see it. The videos for "Sleep in the Heat" and "DVP" are incredible as well. And they are amazing live.

I can vouch for that one. I really enjoyed it, though I haven't given it a spin since. 

eta* Listening to it again. Jazzy, triumphant, rockin', all of the good stuff about post-rock, actually.
