Eric's Trip is one of the greater bands from the nineties. This album has a lot of different sounds, all pretty great. You can definitely feel the nineties vibes. Phil Elverum has gotten a lot of his influence from this band. Love Tara has rock songs that are great, and mellow songs that are beautiful, you'll see.

Amps for Christ

2010-02-26T11:01:00.000-08:00

this album has some pretty weird and experimental shit. experimental folk i think would best describe the genre, if i had to pick, but i dont even really know if its that. it is certainly experimental. "strange yet awesome and very enjoyable"

last.fm explains it better:

"Amps For Christ (AFC) is about the combinations of many styles of music and sound from hardcore and noise to traditional musics (Folkcore and Musnik). The subjects go from war and run-away corporate capitalism to peace and the love and mercy of God. The warp in the harmonic scale, experimentation with waveforms and “beat-tones” are matters of great intrigue."

This is one of Radiohead's most experimental albums and it is absolutely glorious. Every song on this album has a different feel, but all of them are epic and powerful. You and Whose Army is my favorite song on this album, probably my favorite Radiohead song. The album comes off somewhat melancholy and blue and is a good listen on a rainy drive.

His piano melodies and accordion takes me back to the streets of France where I can people watch and wear a buret. Its powerful and subtle all at once. Every song is just as grand as the others.

I didn't expect to like this movie as much as i did. A lot of it was chicks beating each other up, which is always pretty sweet. The story itself, and the cinematography captured me in a way that hardly any other movie did this year so far. Along with an enlightening film, the soundtrack was just as delightful. I would recommend seeing this film before listening to the soundtrack, it feels so much better when listening. Kudos to Drew Berrymore, her first directing of a film.

Fever to Tell collides harsh guitar and beautiful female vocals for the outcome of amazing, punkish songs. Every song on this album is different and gets this listener into their unique and creative melodies. Everybody should listen to the whole album at least once.
