Deftones - Deftones

Album: Deftones

Year: 2003

the deftones are a multi-award winning alternative metal group, and in my opinion one of the best bands working today. they are immensely popular, but still not a drop of substance was shed from the bands core. this is their fourth effort, and conisidered to be their heaviest ever, but with their trademark ethreal and melodic metal music. if you look at this bands career, youll find out that its no strange thing that the deftones are consiered to be great pioneers of this new generation of music.

Year: 2007

Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery

Album: Adultery

Year: 2006

this album feels just like its cover does, like an old crime/thriller movie. This was dog fashion disco's last album, they disbanded after its release. this album is a metal, hardcore, jazz and lounge fusion, i wouldnt recommend this for anyone since this band is something else entirely, but if you like metal, you have to, have to check this band out.

Primus - Frizzle Fry

Album: Frizzle Fry

Year: 1990

primus is the band that does the opening theme from south park, this might give you a basic idea on what is the band about. the music on this album is all about slap/pop bass playing, metal type guitar riffs, and some very (for lack of a better word) wacky lyrics. a very progressive album.

The Kills - Midnight boom

Album: Midnight Boom

Year: 2008

This is by far one of the coolest, sexiest and most creative albums ive ever heard, I tripped upon the magic duo that is the kills last summer, and fell in love instantly. this band has a guitarist, a female vocalist, and because a third member doesnt exist, a simple drum machine is used for most of the percussion work. this is really a very creative album, anyone looking at this should definitley download this.

1. U.R.A. Fever

2. Cheap And Cheerful

3. Tape Song

Jenny Lewis - Acid Tongue

Album: Acid Tongue

Year: 2008

Jenny lewis is the frontwoman of the critically acclaimed indie band Rilo Kiley (which youll eventually see later here on this blog). Acid tongue is in general a fun album to listen to, but the title track is as heavy as it gets.

Pixies - Doolittle

Album: Doolittle

Year: 1989

when i first heard this band a couple of years back, the first impression i got was how their music sounds very modern, i was actually shocked when i found how old this band was. this bands influence lives on and strong in todays music (especially grunge acts, most notably nirvana). this bands music is characterized with a quiet-loud dynamic and a tendency for dark music (though the album gets very bright at some points), the lyrics get very surreal and off-beat throughout the album.

all in all a very good listen.

Tracklist:
1. Debaser
2. Tame
3. Wave of Mutilation
4. I Bleed
5. Here Comes Your Man

6. Dead

Small Sails - Similar Anniversaries

Album: Similar Anniversaries

Weedeater - God Luck And Good Speed

Album: God Luck And Good Speed

Year: 2007

if you enjoy dull, heavy and slow sounds (hence the term "sludge") then you have to listen to this, weedeater offer the kind of big evil riffs that can swallow you whole, thats exactly how they feel like, like taking a band like wolfmother then taking away a "virtual" pop element, then slowing things down a bit. weedeater also have a strong southern rock influence, a direct proof of that is the cover of lynyrd skynyrds "gimme back my bullets" on the album, if you're a fan of either metal or southern rock n' roll, i definitely recommend this.

Tracklist:

1. God Luck and Good Speed
2. Wizard Fight
3. For Evan's Sake
4. Alone
5. $20 Peanut

6. It Is What It Is
7. Gimme Back My Bullets (Lynyrd Skynyrd Cover)

Sigur Ros – Agaetis Byrjun

Album:Agaetis Byrjun
Year:1999

This Icelandic band offers the kind of music that can move you deep inside, and unless you speak Icelandic, you wont understand anything that’s being said, but im more than glad to say that that’s hardly a problem.

Metal music with gothic concepts and bit of a classical influence. The emphasis on distortioned guitars,more predominant use of synthesizer than typical metal bands and narrative, poetic lyrics blend together to produce a heavy gothic melody, if you are a metal fan this album will be very new experience to you cause I think nothing like that has been done before and probably it will never be done again.

Counting Crows - August And Everything After

Album:August And Everything After
Year:1993

An album that captures human emotion perfectly, whether through the music or the lyrics, august and everything after is one of the best albums to emerge from the 90s era, the some-what morose vocals of frontman adam duritz fits in with the beautiful melancholy of the music. Simply breath-taking.

Tracklist:

01. Round Here
02. Omaha
03. Mr. Jones

Prodigy – Fat Of The Land

Album:Fat Of The Land

Year:1997

Soul Coughing – Irresistible Bliss

Album:Irresistible Bliss
Year:1996

One of the more weird-sounding bands that I have come across, soul coughing incorporates a stand-up bass, hip hop beats, manhandled guitar, a strange sound here and there and very intelligent and quirky lyrics, to produce this psychedelic blend of sound that you wouldn’t be able to hear anywhere else. Very cool

Album:The Uplift Mofo Party Plan

Year:1987

It makes me sad to see that most people are more familiar with this band in their recent years, and I don’t mean that in any bad way, I love everything that this band has done.

A display of intricate and complex lyrics, though the basic ideas to the song are quite simple, drastically different from the usual rap/hip hop artists today (which are crap) common A.K.A common sense is definitely a poetic genius.
