I must be the only one on here that actually liked Embryonic. I liked it's shift in direction from At War With the Mystics ( :gross:) and thought it was well-executed. It's even more terrifying stuff than The Terror.

Omegakitty -- did you get the vinyl? Does it sound as bricked as the CD mastering? I'd sitting on the fence about whether to drop the $35 for it on vinyl, or just spend that money on a nice reissue of an old jazz or rock album.

I liked At War With the Mystics. I also liked the spirit of Embryonic, though not so much the overblown production.

I've got The Terror on vinyl too, but I haven't had a chance to listen to it. Just the CD. I also need to eventually open up the gummy skull with some friends to get that flash drive with four tracks. It's been sitting in my kitchen, dutifully preserved.


The new Heavy Hawaii, Goosebumps, is really intoxicating. It's like a Beach Boys broadcast on an AM radio station from another dimension.



The cover really matches the music well, IMHO.


This has been one of my favorite new metal albums so far this year:



VHOL by VHOL. Really great stuff.

I've also been digging the new Fen, Dustwalker. Recommended for fans of melodic nature-y WitTR-type black metal.


I need to reiterate how good the new Vondelpark is. I've been listening to it just as much, if not more, than the new James Blake. My favorite electronic album this year so far is probably DJ Koze's Amygdala.



Lots of really talented guest stars, too. The track with Ada is just dreamy.

Hell YES. Music Has the Right to Children ruled my high school years. I just noticed that I never checked out that Campfire... album a few years back. Is it worth checking?

+1 on that DJ Koze -- such a fun album. I love all the different textures on it. I need to check out the Vondelpark ASAP it seems.

Been listening to the new Deerhunter today, and I'm liking it a lot. More accessible and melodic than past DH albums, but still retains that noise and fuzz. Definitely some Atlas Sound influence creeping into this new Deerhunter project. Still early, but it's not a drop off from Microcastle or Halcyon Digest at all.

Just finished a first listen to the new Airborne Toxic Event record, out today in the US.

If you're an ATE fan, grab this.

They might be good but I just can't force myself to listen to them after being made to trudge through White Noise and humor my prof's allegation of its greatness. Now if they were to rename themselves the "Great Concavity", I'd be all about it.

As someone who is rather indifferent to Dracula Holiday's previous releases, you think this might win me over? Or is it more of the same?

This one didn't capture me on first listen, but now a few more times through and I'm liking it.  Glad I went back and gave it another chance.
