New Album Recommendations

What new albums have you recently purchased (or downloaded, or burned) that you would recommend?

Here are a few I recommend highly:

Garden State Soundtrack
Loved the movie. Love the soundtrack. Great selections from The Shins, Zero 7, Colin Hay, Frou Frou, Bonnie Somerville and Simon & Garfunkle. Its rare to have an album with so many artists and not one throw away song.

Green Day: American Idiot
Okay, so its not that new, and hardly obscure, but if you've only heard the singles, you should give the album a listen. Its kind of a punk rock opera.

Sarah McLachlan: Afterglow Live
Two disc album has a concert DVD and CD. Great selections from new and old materials, plus (on the DVD) a nice cover of the Beatles' "Blackbird."

Sarah Harmer: All of Our Names
I've mentioned her before, and she has become one of my favorite artists. She's a singer/songwriter with a great voice.

What is everyone else listening to?

Re: New Album Recommendations

I have been listening to a lot of old stuff myself. I am in a heavy, loud mood lately. Good Charlotte, Sublime, Shaggy, Eminem, CAKE, The Violent Femmes, and Linkin Park are getting a lot of play time by me.

Newer releases (that are not very new) that I am listening to include:

The Presidents of the United States - Love Everybody - not sure yet, but I love their old stuff.

Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers - Bulletproof Heart - I have seen these guys play live three times last year and I love their stage presence. They are funny and upbeat. The songs on the cd seem a lot more melancholy than they are live. I just stopped by their website and they have another cd released this week. I should go pick that up. Some of the members of the Clarks had some input on the cd.

Good Charlotte - The Chronicles of Life and Death - again love the old stuff, not sure just yet about this cd.

Maroon5 - 1.22.03 Acoustic - I really like this. Good vocals and guitar.

I tried to get into the new cd from Green Day and after a few listens I pulled it. It's just not pulling me in.

The soundtrack from Garden State probably is a good pick up. That movie reminds me of Pulp Fiction. It's just plain weird and jumpy and I think I would need to watch it a few times before I really got it.

I did pick up Sarah Harmer's All of our names last year and it is a good listen.

Re: New Album Recommendations

Good call on the Garden State CD. Been enjoying that for months now. Even inspired me to buy the Shins.

Some albums I've recently purchased/downloaded that I would recommend...

-Sin City soundtrack (if you're into scores and movie music)
-Ben Folds' "Songs for Silverman"
-Family Guy Live in Las Vegas
-Black Eyed Peas' "Elephunk"
-I Am Sam soundtrack

I just bought the new DMB but I'm half and half on it, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it just yet. Maybe a couple tracks, but there's some stuff I just can't get into. Sad.

Gotta love "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" by Eddie Vedder. That song reminds me when I'm over at my grandmother's (Titans/Cubs fan) house for the holidays.

My recommendations:

"Out of Exile" - Audioslave - Listened to a few of the songs and I love what I hear.

"We're A Happy Family" - Various Artists - Awesome Ramones tribute CD.

"Mezmerize" - System of a Down - If you like their unique sound, you'll like this CD. You'll either love it or hate it.

Re: New Album Recommendations

Just picked up the new Ben Folds and am starting to get into it.


I also ordered Aimee Mann's latest on Amazon and should get it soon.

Re: New Album Recommendations

Although we still have to finalize our CD, you can check out a song at our band's website -

http://www.cavinmusic.com

There is one MP3 that would give you some idea of what we sound like.

I will let everyone know when we finalize the CD.

We are grouped in the 'Explosive Melodic Rock' category
