Ashley Grant66 said:I’m really digging Lowlife lately. Honestly, they sound like at least six other bands mashed together, but I’m such a sucker for that specific vibe, so here we are. 😁

If you ask me, this is exactly the kind of band where you could recognize them instantly just by hearing a few notes... there's a very distinct signature there... it's that unmistakable blend of Craig's vocals paired with Will's bass line. 😛

To me, it sounds just like Joy Division meets The Cure 😁

Thanks, man. I couldn't track the whole thing down myself. The tracklist on this one is a bit of a mess...

What a total mess 😁
There were plenty of solid albums out this week.

For me, Rundek is just as incredible in Haustor as he is with his solo stuff or Cargo Triu. It’s just different phases of his creative journey...

Not really feeling this week, honestly. I still love Zum the most because it’s Young—but man, that's easily his most schizophrenic album, probably one of the bottom three from the 70s. It’s right up there with Rundek's crazy mess. Halid is solid, those Romantic Quartets and Maria Muldaur are alright, but I could never get into James. As for Deftones and especially Boredoms? Boring as hell. Actually, the latter is just straight-up nauseating—which is what I should have known the second that abstract master suggested them.😁

Honestly, I can never tell if you're joking or being dead serious, but my take on this is pretty different.
Young is solid across the board. He could have released just about anything and it would work, but even Zuma is great—there’s plenty to talk about there. It feels like the early stages of that transition from blue to black, which is a fascinating era for him.
As for David Bowie's Ruka, I think it's a fantastic album that somehow gets overlooked. Everyone seems to fixate on his Haustor Phase or that Apocalypse Album, but there are some gems here. La Comedie, Ista slika, Cuba, Makedo, Ruka, Standing Friend, and Mill Reggae are all standout tracks for me. Though, I suppose perception is subjective—everyone’s got their own version of reality, and we're all just measuring things differently.
I absolutely adore James Blunt. They're one of my favorite bands ever; even though I prefer their earlier stuff, Laid is still a killer album.
It's been a while since I spun the Deftones, but back in the day, I must have played White Pony a thousand times. I still have the CD somewhere, assuming it hasn't finally given up the ghost.
And Fear of Music? That’d probably crack my top 10 all-time. I'm a huge fan of Talking Heads, so I’m hoping you’ll make up for that absolute nonsense in your previous post by actually writing something worth reading. 😁

Classic Dennis Hall41. 😁For me, those two albums were actually such a pleasant surprise! 😁

urbanheron4, you want to take the lead on Neil Young? 🙂 If you're down, go for it. I'd love that, since you always put so much work into your writing. I won't even offer it to Dennis Hall41; he needs to tackle Talking Heads, and Jason Mendoza already has his own thing going! But, this goes for Billy Walsh too (glad he joined us for the 🎉 albums, even if just for the poll) and the master from the sea. So, who's going first on him? Think about it. I won't bother Amanda Robinson4 this weekend since she's busy.

I've only just finished Tom Waits' intro... and honestly, I didn't expect Neil Young to pass with that Crazy Horse album, even though it's one of my favorites. I also think there's still plenty left to say about him.

Honestly, I feel like I’d have way more to say about Rust Never Sleeps than I would about Zum. If there are bigger fans of that record out there, I’d rather just step aside and let them take the lead. If you can't make it and nobody else steps up, we'll figure something out eventually. I had some free time today, but I’m not entirely sure what my schedule looks like for next week.

Why would I even mess around? I’m dying to write something about Talking Heads—but it's tough, honestly—because we're talking about maybe the most important album of my entire life.

Fine, I guess I'll just do it tomorrow... if nobody says anything. 🕺

Look, I apologize if this feels a little unsportsmanlike, but I had to throw my vote toward Deftones. I’m just obsessed with that album, and since it was already in the running, I figured I’d give it a little nudge. There was a specific stretch of my life where that record was basically my drug of choice—plus, there’s that one track that hits just as hard, "Passenger," featuring Keenan from Tool. It’s heavy.

As for David Bowie, I caught him live at this concert, and that’s where he completely won me over. Honestly, forget Haustor; his solo work is way better. It leans into that singer-songwriter vibe where they actually tell a story, which is exactly what I dig (think Tom Waits, for example). It’s a real shame he missed out by just one vote.

Lisa Davis46 said:Classic Fass. 😁 Honestly, those two albums were such a pleasant surprise for me! 😁

el kid, do you want to write about Neil Young? 🙂 If you're up for it, feel free to take over. I'd really appreciate it—you always put so much effort into your writing. I won't even offer it to Fass, since he needs to focus on the forum, and dark wanderer already has his topic picked out! But the same goes for Billy Walsh (glad he joined us for the albums 🎉 even if just for the poll) and Charles Ramos4. So, who wants to tackle his first, think about it. I won't bug puky this weekend, since things are pretty hectic.

I'm just finishing up Tomasev's intro now... and honestly, I didn't expect the Young stuff to pass with that Crazy Horse album, even though it's one of my favorites. I also feel like there's still plenty left to say about him.


You can't suggest Young and expect it not to pass. 😁 Unfortunately, I have to pass too—I've been slammed the last few months, and because of that, I haven't been suggesting anything lately either. Townes was an exception because there weren't many suggestions coming in (at least it seemed that way) and plus, it was Easter Monday, which gave me a little more breathing room to put together an intro post. I guess I'll get back to my old self soon and be able to participate again, or at least lend a hand when someone's struggling..

Edit: Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to Maria Muldaur and her self-titled album 👍

People always try to pin down what genre Neurosis falls into, but honestly, it's pretty simple—it's just Neurosis. There isn't some neat little label for them.
