Albums in Stores – July 8th, 2016 • Page 3

I think the run from Cloud 9 to Young Lonely is great, the rest is forgettable for me.

Agree on the slog and melody, they started to get way too sludgy for me, but there was always 2-3 songs I love so I keep checking them out. I actually don't mind Davey's vocals, the problem for me now is the painfully boring choruses and clean vocals. I'm right there with you wanting good melody. I think ATCBB is their most well rounded release, some awesome songs there.

 

Schoolboy Q, Dikembe, Frameworks, and Puddle Spasher. Those are the main four that I will be giving the most time to. I'll try out Emarosa, but wasn't the biggest fan of Versus as a whole.

 

That BADBADNOTGOOD album is great if you're moving around the house a lot and want some good background music. It's a bit quirky, so if you're not into jazz in the slightest, I'd stay away from it.

 

On my list to check out. Now that I read your comment it had moved to next in line. Love some quirky jazzy influenced indie stuff. Field Musics new album is like that. Heavy Steely Dan influence but they still have their own sound rooted more in indie rock.

 

Whoa, Chevelle is still a thing? Good for them.

 

I purchased Night Verses and TTNG, as well as caught up on last week's releases with Direct Hit! and Silent Planet.

Gosh do I love my record store.

 

I have so many albums to catch up on. Direct Hit!, Emarosa, American Authors, Night Verses, TTNG....probably more that I'm forgetting. I've never listened to Chevelle but maybe I'll check out that album too.

 

AllMusic has a pretty extensive release database. Not sure if it works for how you pull things but might be worth checking out. Though as I scroll through this week's list, I noticed they have Blink listed in addition to having them listed last week -- All New Album Releases | AllMusic

 

What makes the Night Verses album bad if you don't mind me asking?? Was stoked to listen, I'm sad that it's getting a negative reception from some people.

 

Already spun frameworks and it's great, obviously. Next I'll have to listen to night verses and dikembe. Then I'll hopefully get to school boy

 

Don't listen to them, it's great!! Hahaha

 

Cool :)

 

Avalanches needs more love. Their one previous album is one of the best records ever made.

 

The production isn't squeaky sterile Dance Gavin Dance clean, and the songs are jarring, loud, and not always heavy. I fucking love it. Like, way more than anything they've done before

 

Definitely checking out Switchfoot.
