Andy Stott - Faith in Strangers
NR

I've only spun it once, but it is brilliant. He's the Brian Eno of now.

Moonface - City Wrecker
NR

Good stuff, but they're going to be very big soon. Hopefully it won't be at the expense of the great music they've produced so far.

Swans - To Be Kind
40

Still not liking anything by the Swans. I try and try to see what everyone likes, but can't find a thing.

Earth - The Bees Made Honey In the Lion's Skull
97

The Limited Edition seals this album's long-term fate. One of the best stoner post rock Velvets/Sabbath albums. No wonder Cobain was such good friends with Dylan.

Pan•American - Cloud Room, Glass Room
NR

Great, great chilled and blissful.

Eno • Hyde - High Life
NR

Had high expectations for this and was let down.

Pypy - Pagan Day
NR

Not the typical sound from Slovenly Records, but good for that old school garage horror rock vibe.

Jack White - Lazaretto
NR

So hungry for some sharp riffs and just good boogie down rock. This does it. Sort of a mix of White Stripes and Blunderbuss.

Sun Kil Moon - Benji
55

Not sure what all the fuss is about on this one? I have all of Sun Kil Moon's past albums after hearing a few Modest Mouse covers. Bought this one on hype and thinking he'd done something different--just same old same old. Good, but not a top 10 album .

The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream
NR

Great album with great influences. I hear Neu, Mazzy Star and Ryan Adams. Good stuff to have a blissed out day.

John Frusciante - Enclosure
NR

Incoherent and Alienated. Has anyone told John, had the balls to actually tell him that his music is getting worse and worse? Also, someone should remind him Jungle was cool in the mid-90's (when he was out of it) and was only used because Goldy was so high on coke at the time he didn't know. This guy is capable of so much more, but this is what you get from an isolated rock star-Garage Band like doodling that my 10 year old could create. PS--The singing is atrocious. He has a great ... read more

Esben And The Witch / Thought Forms - Split LP
90

Great indie rock album. Can't stop playing it.

89

Good stuff. Almost as if The Band were a band in 2013.

The Rolling Stones - Some Girls
100

Best Stones album ever, yes, better than Exile. This was their peak.

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
100

Been listening to this lately after 20 something years. FK, it's good.

Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam Twenty
90

Good stuff. Honest.

Pearl Jam - Lightning Bolt
NR

Small changes to what they have done in the past 15 years. Really boring. I've grown up with them and their best song since Release, IMHO, is Just Breathe.

DIIV - Oshin
85

A mix between Thompson Twins, My Bloody Valentine, and Sonic Youth. As a 40+ guy, I see through all their influences, but love it. If I was 18 I'd be wondering why these guys were not rock stars yet.

70

Prefer the HDTracks release. Basically a copy of the original master.

Nirvana - In Utero [20th Anniversary Edition]
98

This album has always been the best Nirvana LP, it's like Bleach and Nevermind put together. Not as glossy as Nevermind. Had Nevermind been produced like this In Utero, Nirvana would of barely touched a million albums sold and he'd be alive. This re-issue is so good. Dave Grohl's Marigold shows his potential to write catchy tunes. Surprised Kurt did't pursue this more, likely he got depressed at how quickly Dave wrote it.
