I've actually never visited their website unless linked to a specific article. But you could say something similar about this website, it used to be all about pop punk and emo, now it's everything and includes a ton of country, which never would have happened awhile back.
I was playing some of my vinyl's over the weekend and just found a download code for From Indian Lakes, Absent Sounds (2014). I already have the mp3s if anybody wants the link and code, hit me up.

Anyone else just NOT been feeling any albums they've listened to this year? Last year was so good, but nothing has blown me away so far this year that demanded countless relistens. I've listened to a couple hundred albums so far this year but really nothing has impressed me. I always try to find new stuff so it's not a case of "there's nothing good out there and I haven't listened". Oh I've listened...just nothing grabbing me. Maybe I'm in a crisis mentally lol
Maybe you're just getting older. I sure have a harder time relating to and liking new stuff. There's been a lot that I've enjoyed, but none that I've really loved.
How do we feel about “all too similar” album artwork? This one from a new artist called Role Model seemed like a carbon copy of Stabbing Westward’s self-titled…
Maybe slow down with how much you’re listening to? You’ve already listened to a couple hundred albums this year so I’m guessing you haven’t spent a great deal of time with any of them before moving onto the next one. Some of the best albums are the ones that grow on you
For me on a bum year I just with equal intent find something new to me that may not have come out that year, or I somehow missed in life. I think year to year expectations is gonna disappoint you especially when old favorites release new stuff you don’t connect with. this summer is a country summer for me and lots I haven’t touched there so it’s all kinda new to me, even the stuff from 20 years ago. I recognize this is a 2025 music thread but just how I make peace with a similar disappointment I felt with music in my life and how I got outta that.
so many albums coming out in September going to be hard to keep up, even today is stacked Liquid Mike Algeron Cadwaller Saturdays at your place
Im with you! I am definitely getting older and find myself going back in time to listen to bands/albums I missed from the past....this years been a total dud for me
I agree with this. Especially if you have to come back to it later and it hits you differently then when you first listen to it because maybe you weren’t in the mood for it at the time it came out I know that happens a lot for me
Been a great year for music. I don’t think anything is topping Lonely People With Power for me. Absolute powerhouse of an album
Just got introduced to this band 2 days ago, and this album SHOT up my AOTY list. Scratches an ETID/Botch itch that Better Lovers or Many Eyes doesn't quite scratch for me. Comparisons aside, it's an incredible album and it deserves a wider audience:
