Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason (2019 Remix)

How do you like it? I heard some samples youtube and truthfully I didn't care for the remix. It sounds less "full" if that makes sense.

[Big Hath]

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Rush Rules 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Rush Rules 

Indeed! My favorite band 

Occasionally I have to do a Rush Day!

[wolfking]

Rush Rules 

Haha.  Yeah, they fucking do.

[wolfking]

Will make a note of that one Tim.

Every song sounds kind of samey, but since every song is fucking awesome, I can live with it.

Autumnal Twilight

This song is only 16 minutes of awesomeness. 

Wow, that's definitely some black metal Tim.  Your starting to surpass me in the extreme factor it seems. 

[Stadler]

Big Hath is my favorite poster.   

(Midnight Madness is an AMAZING record if you ask me.  "Rumors In The Air", "Why Does Love Have To Change", "Chippin' Away", "When You Close Your Eyes"...)

[The Walrus]

Doing a deep dive on 2019 records I haven't heard yet, in order to get them heard in time to rank 2019 albums. Obviously going to need to spend a lot more time with all of these, which I hope to do over the next few weeks.

29. Wheel - Moving Backwards (if Tool was hard rock instead of alt metal)
30. Raiju - Non Sequitur (Protest the Hero, basically)
31. Capstan - Restless Heart, Keep Running (pop-punk meets The Human Abstract)
32. Ashbringer - Absolution (more Agalloch-y folk/blackmetal)
33. Obsidian Tide - Pillars of Creation (Prog metal, somewhere between Tool and Opeth)

I'm finishing up 14 as of right now, which leaves me with 15-17, plus anything else I come across. Lots of variety and so many surprises. Picking up a couple portable bluetooth speakers to lay around the apartment has done absolute wonders for something like this, because I get tired of wearing my earbuds all the time, and along with throwing unheard music into one big Spotify playlist, listening to new music is back to being fun instead of a chore. Just wish I could afford to buy everything I liked.

[Evermind]

Want me to throw a couple more at you?

[The Walrus]

Do it 

[Sacul]

Don't forget about new Lana del Rey, and Nils Frahm's All Encores, I recall you loved his Felt album.

I knew I was forgetting a couple, thank you!! Love Lana, and I indeed love Felt, that's a great record.

Illyria - The Carpathian Summit (Agalloch-y folk/prog metal)
Wheel - Moving Backwards (if Tool was hard rock instead of alt metal)
Raiju - Non Sequitur (Protest the Hero, basically)
Capstan - Restless Heart, Keep Running (pop-punk meets The Human Abstract)

Obsidian Tide - Pillars of Creation (Prog metal, somewhere between Tool and Opeth)

[Evermind]

I only know Obsidian Tide from this list because I'm preparing for PPE 2020 and I'm fairly sure Katt doesn't like harsh vocals tbh

Pillars of Creation is pretty good though.

[Sacul]

Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising aka AOTD

Amazing album

[The Walrus]

I don't even know my own tastes anymore. I listened to an entire Allegaeon album and actually really liked it. And Insomnium's latest album. Both in the same afternoon. Who knows, I'll check it out, fuck it

Hell, I almost recommended Insomnium but then scrapped it due to the harsh vocals. Maybe try the new Wilderun while you're at it. This is one of my favourite albums from this year.

I might as well. I certainly wasn't interested in Wilderun but since I'm in a musically spongey mood, why not 

[Crow]

Obsidian Tide have kinda bad harsh vocals tbh but they don't use em as much iirc
Wilderun is good too tho I don't think it's better than the last one

[Evermind]

That's a high tower to climb though, and I think they almost succeeded climbing that one. I'm really happy with their last album. Would've been my AOTY if not for Arch / Matheos and probably Leprous (yeah, I know)

[RoeDent]

The Flower Kings: Paradox Hotel

The sixth album of theirs I've listened to this week.

[The Walrus]

Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell!

Lovely album, thanks for reminding me of this one, Sacul. Wrapping it up now. What a voice. Love the smokey bar atmosphere, as usual.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I think the new Wilderun is much better than their last one.

[TAC]

Holy shit Chris! That is fucking awesome!

[Crow]

i listened through that one again recently and it just wasn't working for me, meh. i wasn't wild about their 2016 triple album either though. i really specifically like my black metal space-y and intense I guess 

[TAC]

A triple album? I'll have to check that out.  I hear you about the spaceyness. I kind of feel the same way, but I really like the instrumentation on this.
