I really like that. I was worried about where this album was headed after that awful “Perilous Night” song came out a few years ago.

This is some classic PH. Could fit with the Adam’s House Cat era or A Blessing and a Curse.

[4th&Five 41,556]

They debuted it last week at the Houston show I was at. I liked all 4 of the new ones they played. 

[MoJames 8,244]

New Beck and Coldplay today.

 

Beck's album first spin isn't that memorable outside of the songs already released.

Will spin Coldplay next, but my expectations are low based on the singles already released.

[4th&Five 41,556]

Futurebirds have always been hit or miss with me but I really like the songs from the new one they've released.  Album out 1/15.

 

[NOMAAA 1,696]

Heard their song rodeo today. Don’t know a lot about them. I like that song. 

[4th&Five 41,556]

Always been my favorite of theirs too.

There are some really good songs on the first couple Coldplay albums, but they went off a cliff pretty quickly, and have been pure trash for over a decade

I generally agree. I actually liked some of the stuff of Viva La Vida, but it continued a direction of the band that was such a departure from what I loved with that first album.

They lost me so much on the third album that I haven’t bothered to check back in. The Scientist, Green Eyes, Yellow, Sparks, are all tunes I still enjoy a lot.

[bizzle 1,153]

new bombay bicycle club coming 1/17, the early singles are solid.

 

 

[4th&Five 41,556]

Sounds like a new PJ is finally done.  No announcement or release date yet though.

Yeah, I just recently discovered Khruangbin. Having Leon on there takes them to a new level. EP out in February. 

[4th&Five 41,556]

New Pearl Jam just announced for 3/27.

This album kindof sounds like it was made by someone that was on heroin the whole time compared to a lot of his other stuff.

To me it was a pretty depressing album in general. Not that I dislike it on the whole, just kinda depressing.

It really is. I don’t hate it but it’s just a depressing vibe

Marcus King put out a new album today. 

 

Came her to post that

Auerbach produced it.

Sounds amazing from what I’ve heard so far

He just finished a 3 song set on the Grand Ole Opry

Saw him at SXSW last March on the Lucy’s Fried Chicken tiny ass stage when it was still the full Marcus King Band, then at Stubbs in the fall as the “Marcus King Trio” that was a 2 hour jam session...and I think the new solo album is the best I’ve heard so far

I'm trying to like this, but honestly I fucking hate it.

I like the Talking Heads too, and agree that's who they sound like here, but I guess I just want it to sound like Pearl Jam, and it doesn't to my ears.  Not even a little.

[NOMAAA 1,696]

I don’t think it sounds anything like talking heads. Has a more wolf parade vibe I think. But I don’t know shinola. I kinda like it.

[NOMAAA 1,696]

Also. New wolf parade is pretty great. The Dan songs dominate. Guess Spencer took this one off. And we get new m ward soon it looks like. Aaaand another Nathaniel rateliff tune. Good lil Friday. 

[NOMAAA 1,696]

God dang. New Clem snide song is pretty fuckin good too. 

[stc 1,462]

definitely has a talking heads vibe. i like it. 

[MoJames 8,244]

Nathaniel Rateliff with another good single

hell yes! 

also, new pinegrove is great.

 

[oSuJeff97 3,435]

Loving the new DBT.

[4th&Five 41,556]

yeah, it's depressing but really well written.  i wish there was more cooley but it sounds like he's having some severe writer's block.  looking forward to seeing them again in april.

[Al_4_ISU 12,463]

I’d love more Cooley, but I’m really liking this. Musically they sound as good as ever.

[NOMAAA 1,696]

new dan deacon is very good.

[HoustonHorn 1,062]

Futurebirds - Teamwork

Pretty damn good.

[4th&Five 41,556]

Definitely their best and most consistent. 

[Al_4_ISU 12,463]

Futurebirds - Teamwork

Pretty damn good.

Yeah, I’m digging this. Trippin’ is a great song.

[BigOrange1 6,440]

new tame impala out today.

[stc 1,462]

it's amazing the degree to which tame impala in no way resembles the band that put out innerspeaker in 2010. not into these last couple of albums at all.
