Albums in Stores – Aug. 26th, 2022 • Page 2

The opening song of the new Muse album reminded me so much of American Idiot-era Green Day...had to do a double take on if I played the right album. Enjoying Will of the People, for the most part, today. Already re-checked out The Dangerous Summer and single from Snarls, Kulick, and will be sure to look for other recommendations on this helpful thread!

 

Seems like the best new release week of the year. Bands just hoping to be played over Labor Day weekend.

 

Yes!!! This is exactly what I thought about the entire album. I'm sure the band may say otherwise and I haven't really read much on what they've said about this album but it comes off very lyrically political.

Thoroughly enjoying it and on my third listen. Been awhile since a Muse album grabbed me from the get go!

 

My recommendation for the day if you're after something new from an upcoming artist is the new Nightlife EP.

Honestly one of the best EPs of the year so far in my opinion. Easiest way to describe it is soul punk.

 

Bleed

Today is all about Pianos Become the Teeth. I’ve had a review copy for a few weeks now and this record only gets better with time. Probably my album of the year.

Excited to dive into JID and Teen Suicide. Gonna give The Dangerous Summer another shot, but I’m feeling a bit underwhelmed on it so far.

 

Thanks for sharing the track. This is GOOD! Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album

 

Had a hell of a time finding them on Spotify! Link for anyone interested:

 

It is cool to see someone mentioning FRND CRCL. Neat to have such a good local band.

 

I would've posted the Spotify link too but I got too excited when my buddy sent me the YouTube link

 

Of course! Definitely a big surprise this morning, but a welcomed one!

How 'bout that new Superbloom track?!

 

so good. cant wait for that EP they said is coming out in the winter!

 

Nice! The sooner the better. Their full length is a jam.

Soul Blind need a full length out stat!

 

hell yeah. If you haven't listened to the band Bleed, listen to their 2021 EP Somebody's Closer, gives me the same vibes.

 

I immediately looked them up on Spotify and could tell from the EP cover that I'd dig it. Sounds like Narrow Head meets Soul Blind... Which is perfectly fine with me!

Thanks Amanda! :)

(the song Silver: Fire! )

 

While not QUITE *new* MCR music, the Mad Gear and Missile Kid EP is up on streaming finally!

 

If you're interested in delicious synthwave/dreamwave, check out the new album by L'Avenue - it'll make you feel like you've just started a long vacation on that California coast with your significant other

 

On my radar this week:

Altered Images: Mascara Streakz
Bastille: Give Me The Future + Dreams Of The Past
blackbear: In Loving Memory
Butch Walker: ...As Glenn
Centershift: Of... EP
The Dangerous Summer: Coming Home
Dirty Heads: Midnight Control
Drag Me Out: Demons Away
Embrace: How To Be A Person Like Other People
The Happy Fits: Under The Shade Of Green
Lacrimas Profundere: How To Shroud Yourself With Night
Lonely Robot: A Model Life
Machine Head: Of Kingdom And Crown
Marcus King: Young Blood
Matt Maeson: Never Had To Leave
Muse: Will Of The People
Pianos Become The Teeth: Drift
Revival Black: Under The Light
Soil: Play It Forward
Surfaces: Hidden Youth
Will Hoge: Wings On My Shoes

 

New Matt Maeson is solid. Better than Bank on the Funeral, which I thought was a big step down from his EPs.

 

New JID might be the best hip hop record of 2022. I see it going toe to toe wtih Kendrick, Denzel, Pusha, and Joey.

 

This is really good hot dog!

 

You were right about the vibes and the best track is indeed "Good Riddance", stronger vocal takes.
