Queens Of The Stone Age ...Like Clockwork
Voto:
Today I saw him interviewed in Grohl's series/documentary. There was one of his songs playing underneath, one from this album that I can't even remember (which is saying something, considering I've always appreciated Queens of the Stone Age) and I thought, "Damn, I can't remember a song from the new QUOTSA album." Then I saw Home, visibly older and heavier, and it made sense to me why. The years - and the inspiration - pass for everyone. Even for you, Joshua.

Well, DeLonge has always been overly flattering with his epithets for his pseudo-band. He has a massive ego, and I don't even understand why. That said, some old albums were inspired (We Don't Need to Whisper and the double album LOVE), but this one just seems like a little record. The only worthy note is the drummer: Ilan Rubin is a fucking machine.
Foo Fighters Sonic Highways

I think this album wasn't planned but emerged as an urgency and artistic necessity for Grohl after the film/documentary Sound City (which is very good, soundtrack included). Sonic Highways deserves at least a careful listen but must absolutely be accompanied by the TV series/documentary of which it is the perfect complement - and completion.

Yesterday, in a burst of hypercuriosity, I was about to click Play and listen to it. In the end, I didn't find the courage.
Interpol El Pintor
Voto:
I really didn't like it. The first two albums are light years away (and they didn't even make me shout for joy).
Ben Howard I Forget Where We Were

It came my way just these days, I wanted to listen to it, then I let it go. A review, as usual, that really entices. I’ll catch up and let you know. In the meantime, 5 usual stars for the review.

The cover is bordering on embarrassing.

It's nice to read certain sounds here on DeBaser even though, well, it's always the same people writing and talking about them. That said, great band and great album, but my favorite remains Lucky Me. Like the good seagullinthesky, I can't resist the opening of Blame The Architects. Between this and the closing track (Black), the album flows by with immense pleasure. Well done to you, ZeroKanada, in your writing.

The effect on the cover is the same as what I feel when (and especially IF) I listen to this thing (sorry, I can't bring myself to call it a record).
Kendrick Lamar Good Kid, m.A.A.d City

You dared to speak ill of Reznor and Year Zero (which, by the way, I’m revisiting these days), you don’t deserve forgiveness. Yes, I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to Nine Inch Nails :D Joking aside, a very enjoyable review for an album - and a genre - to which I am guiltlessly averse. I know the album, I really like Swimming Pools, but the rest that I’ve listened to in small doses hasn’t excited me much. The collaboration with Eminem, too, didn’t appeal to me. I preferred him in X by Chris Brown (the song Autumn Leaves) where he was tougher and meaner.
