I am pleased to report that Dark Matter by Pearl Jam is good.

 

[The Marquis]

I am pleased to report that Dark Matter by Pearl Jam is good.

It is, and probably has the best heavier PJ music in a while. I’m not sure how I feel about the mellower tunes, but the heavies are nice.

I've forgiven Eddie his indulgence for Something Special. The rest needs a bit of time to percolate and settle but I'm at least certain there's no bad songs on it, that's all I was hoping for.

Mac Cornish - Never Made Much of a Lover 05/03/24

 

[The Marquis]

It's an EP, but I don't give a damn... It's the best thing I've heard this year:

 

[The Marquis]

Finally got around to listening to the new Metz record. It's very good. Very very good. I think it might be their best yet. There are some very interesting things going on musically in just about every song. Very unique arrangements.

 

[WeThreeKings]

This Gracie Abrams album is very good - Aaron Dessner is eating.

 

[Babe Ruth]

It's an EP, but I don't give a damn... It's the best thing I've heard this year:

Sucks, I just looked at their site, and they've already sold out their EP.

They actually remind me of a band from '94, Ashes... they had similar female vocals , and a good vinyl EP (Flood).

Johnny Blue Skies - Passage Du Desir 07/12/24

Jack White - No Name 07/22/24

 

[The Marquis]

This is definitely an unpopular opinion in civilized society, but brat by Charli xcx is actually a very very good record. It's got a couple of absolute stinkers in there (seriously, WOW), but it's a damn good record if you ignore shitfests like Club Classics (so unbelievably shit, unbelievably). If you get through that song, you get to a really fantastic electrodancemess called Sympathy is a Knife that is a damn unique little tune that really has a nice and unusual chorus. The album bumps in ways other albums that bump just don't. She also continues her streak of really good (albeit very rare) ballads with So I. She's got a knack for ballads yet rarely does them.

If things don't change, it'll make my top 5 of the year.

Jack White - No Name 07/22/24

I’ve been enjoying this more than most of his solo stuff. Thought it might be fun if he left the tracks unnamed though. That truly would’ve been real creative genius.

I consider myself a moderate Jack White fan(I own 3 Stripes and a the Raconteur albums) so I am surprised how much I like this. I was able to get the download, burn it to a CD and crank it on the stereo and the car until the official CD(and black vinyl) comes out next month. The white vinyl has been selling for $500-$1,000 and the blue vinyl $100-$200

 

[Teemu]

Yea, new Jack White is fantastic. His best output since the White Stripes

 

[ItsFineImFine]

There's an English Post-Britpop band called Thirteen Senses who released an unannounced album after 10 years and it's quite good. Opening song is interesting, 10+ minutes long not what you'd expect from a pop rock band.
