October is a month that I, as a music adventurist/lover/fan, am excited for. New releases from Fishbone, Rachael Yamagata, Tom Waits, Bjork, Wayne Static, She & Him, Mayer Hawthorne, Surfer Blood, Jane's Addiction, The Original 7ven (formerly The Time and also consisting of the original lineup) and many, many more are hitting stores each week. Fall is a great time to be an audiophile and if you are not one, then October will convert you. Treat yourself to excellence and play it loud!

I'm personally looking very forward to the new Iced Earth CD. The new Machine Head is holding me over until then I guess.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot holding my interest especially a Bjork and Tom Waits album in the same month.
ReplyDeleteThe album is very refined, much better than the last. Amy surprised the heck out of me by returning, more-than-less, to the old EP album style in a few of the songs all the while preserving the rock attributes they are known for mainstream in others. They tried lots of new styles, including a harp (in a bonus song), so you definitely do not hear the same song twice. I still miss the ghastly chills Ben Moody used to pack in some of the songs but Amy does try. More ballads would be nice too. Overall it's a fun album that won't wear out, personally I can't even figure out which song I like more. If you can get a hold of one with the four bonus songs you will be doing yourself a huge favor.
ReplyDeleteExcellent album, It is one of their best work, may be they have learned how to make a good album, no more mistakes !
