@sean_rugy any myself have decided on our albums to swap this week. He will be listening to: Rise Against- Wolves I will be listening to: Oso Oso - The Yunahon Mixtape
I thought it was a typo because the SOTY one is EVERYWHERE in here. Didn't know that Rise Against put out an album with the same name.
He's heard the SOTY one before. It's also a great record! Both have top tier tracks called Miracle. I love both of them.
So I gave @WolvesAreCircling182 The Wonder Years - The Greatest Generation and Bring Me The Horizon - That's The Spirit , while he gave me Starset - Transmissions and Three Days Grace - OneX
Better late than never but here's my thoughts on my second recommendation of round 4 from @littlejohn. Circa Survive - On Letting Go (2007) This is a band I've been meaning to check out for a while now, I've heard good things about them and they always seem to tour with other great bands (Thrice, Touche Amore) but I'm disappointed to say that I just did not feel this album. I'd probably describe it as progressive rock and it reminded me of 30 Seconds to Mars, another band that I'm not a fan of. It took me 3 sittings to get through the whole album and it felt twice as long as it actually was, there was nothing there to hook me in, I really wasn't keen on the singers voice and it all felt very over produced and safe. These guys are obviously a fairly popular band but it's just wasn't for me and I can't say I'll be in a hurry to listen again. Thanks again for the rec's @littlejohn, one out of two ain't bad!
Okay I'll be listening to Davos by Computer Magic @JoshShulkin will be listening to What's The Story Morning Glory by Oasis
I love Circa Survive now, but it literally took me years to actually get into them. I wouldn’t expect most people to have that type of patience/willingness to keep trying, but I’m glad I did. Also, I have to say sorry to @WolvesAreCircling182 bc I am running so behind this week. Idk how he takes on multiple partners each round bc I can barely keep up with one partner’s recommendations in the given time frame lol.
I'ma be doing my listening tomorrow/Wednesday for this week and will have review up Wednesday I've got @mescalineeyes listening to: Xiu Xiu - Knife Play Anamanaguchi - Endless Fantasy And @mescalineeyes has me listening to: HEALTH - Death Magic Charli XCX - POP 2
Trading just one album with my partner this week as we lead up to holidays. @skogsraet will listen to: Rex Orange County - Apricot Princess I'll listen to: Milo - Who Told You To Think??!!?!?!?!
I was bored during lunch so I took a few minutes to make a little spreadsheet to track what albums I've listened to and what albums I've assigned for the CMCS. After this week, I'll have checked out 10 new albums!
Hey @Wall Of Arms, I'm going to do my write up for your choices tomorrow evening. Just been very busy this weekend.
