Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band - Once There Was a Coloured Girl
Who else could match that title and a refrain involving a "Yankee humbug/stumblebum Neo-Nazi" with such breezy, sophisticated music?
Sex is On Fire-Kings of Leon. There's something insanely catchy about this song. I want to hear more.

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
Awesome tune from an awesome album.Quoting MadMan (view post)
I'm digging a song off of Stars' latest EP, Sad Robots.

I don't listen to much industrial music any more, as I've totally out grown it. Most of it seems so silly and juvenile to me now.
However, Skinny Puppy's album Last Rights is still, to this day, ahead of its time in terms of electronic production, and damn is it ever awesome - and scary as hell.
Killing Game is an absolutely brilliant song.
Completely agree. Especially with Riverzend/Lust Chance/Circustance...fucking fantastic..
CHINESE DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(...so far, it's actually pretty awesome)
Heh, funny seeing this after seeing an RYM friend give it 1/2* and tag it WTF? My expectations couldn't possibly be lower though, so I'll be happy if I even moderately enjoy it.
It's very... ecstatic. It's a really solid production, and passionate. It's unapologetically metal, but the virtuosity GNR is famous for bringing to hard rock is there in spades. In short, if you like what they've done in the past, I see no reason to be disappointed in this, save for a distaste of NIN-ish industrial-type heaviness.
Allmusic's blog encapsulates my appreciation best: "Axl labored to create an ideal version of his inner world, working endlessly on a set of songs about his heartbreak, persecution and paranoia, topics well-mined on the Illusions."
"Even with these odd flourishes, it’s hard not to marvel, either in respect or bewilderment, at dense, immaculate wall of god knows how many guitars, synthesizers, vocals and strings."

Last Rights is an insanely complex album. It is so dense and well constructed. It's quite mind blowing really.
The NIN sounding stuff is so dated. From what I've heard it sounds like an old dude trying to do what he thinks is still cool, but unfortunately that style has become stale. I'd appreciate it more if it were like Rob Halford's comeback album, Resurrection, which sounds as if the 1990s never happened. By not conforming to the sounds of the time, Halford made a new metal album that is pure metal, thus not dating himself or his infleunces. It remains an almost timeless entry into his discography, where as GNR now sounds like a band aping the sounds of others.
I still haven't heard the whole album, and I want to give it a fair chance.
