If You Want It, Take It - Boo Radleys

**MadMan** · 12-12-2007, 04:56 AM

Love, Reign O'er Me-The Who. One of the most beautiful and powerful pieces of music I've ever listened to. Easily one of the best songs from the band, and an example of the heights they reached in the 1970s.

M. Ward - Magic Trick

If You Want It, Take It - Boo Radleys

Ma-ma-ma-ma-mega Rep!

I know it's not the done thing around here, but Tool.

Aenima is an awesome, awesome album.

A Place To Bury Strangers - The Falling Sun

**MadMan** · 12-13-2007, 01:45 AM

Wonderwall-I love this song. Awesome lyrics, great guitar and vocal work, the whole 9 yards. Its also my favorite Oasis tune although granted I haven't heard much from the band. What's The Story Morning Glory? is truly a fantastic album.

I still prefer Opiate and Undertow. I need to listen to Aenima more.

I can't really split Undertow, Aenima or Lateralus. I listen to Opiate and 10,000 Days the least.

Kemialliset Ystävät - "Tulinen Kiihdytys"

I don't like the s/t as much as their earlier albums, but maybe it'll grow on me. Seems a little self-conscious for now, in the Zorn/Patton way. Not a good thing.

Bah. Bah, I say! I think what I love about the album is how the chaotic musical arrangements are brought together, which I guess is the same thing that could make it seem self-conscious if only it weren't so layered and emotionally gratifying. It may not be as "free" as Alkuharka (the only other album I've heard from them), but I think the increased reliance on found sounds gives it a texture that was lacking before. For my money, it's one of the wildest, most fascinating albums of the year. A good thing.

If I have to be honest, my merely whelmed reaction might have something to do with the fact that the production isn't as murky here, which I fear may have 'lifted the veil' from their appeal to some degree, at least for me.

That said, a second and third repeat are revealing some more layers and highlights for me (love the appropriation of Chinese traditional music on "Himmelimenetelmä"), so I should hold my words for now. It's definitely another progression for them.

RJD2 & Jay-Z - "Moment of Clarity (Soul Position - Inhale)"

**D_Davis** · 12-13-2007, 05:14 PM

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime

Such a great track on an awesome album. I sometimes find it impossible to distinguish between Eno and the Heads. It's almost as if Eno was using this band as a way to deliver his own sound. I don't mean this to be unfair to the Head's amazing abilities, but only to say that Eno is such a hands on producer/collaborator.

The Magnetic Fields - "I'll Dream Alone"

**Derek** · 12-13-2007, 09:22 PM

"Oh My God" - Mark Ronson (feat. Lily Allen)

I actually like this more than the original Kaiser Chiefs version.

Brian Eno - Needle in the Camel's Eye

**origami_mustache** · 12-14-2007, 06:37 PM

Ugh, this Rilo Kiley album is garbage.
