I can honestly say I dislike most of today's music. (Most of my music collection is oldies)
However, I did buy Crazy Love by Michael Buble. I love him.

The Shiny New Album Thread

Listening to Generation Indigo by Poly Styrene. She was the lead singer with X-Ray Specs in the late 70s. Generation Indigo was released earlier this year. Sadly, she died a few weeks ago from cancer. More information from her web site:

What? Has no one bought a shiny new album since May?
If you're looking for something spanking new and as delicate and beautiful as a spiderweb glimmering in the morning dew, I suggest the EP Oupa Forget.
This is the work of Yuck frontman Daniel Blumberg. If you missed it, Yuck's self-titled (neo grunge rock) album is also excellent, though very different from Oupa.

Portugal. The Man, In the Mountain in the Cloud. This Paste link is streaming the album, if you want to hear it.
Another Portugal. The Man album, The Satanic Satanist, deluxe edition. This one has the original album, then all the tracks done as acoustic arrangements. The whole thing is amazing. You need this. Go buy it NOW.
Here's a sample.
I've just taught myself to play this on guitar. Shame I can't sing.
It seems like I'm the only person on AW who buys new music.

Here! Me! I like new music!
My most recent pickups are the new Blink-182 (didn't blow me away, but I haven't listened to it enough yet to form a full opinion) and the new Cobra Starship (enjoying it a whole lot, even if I do miss their old sound a bit). I just ordered Gareth Emery's DJ album from last year (trance DJ), and I'm loving the heck out of The Plastiscines' 2009 album, About Love.
That's not to say I'm not a fan of the classics. I was rocking out to some Ace of Base yesterday. That counts, right?

Confused Little Girl - Southern Gentleman
Modern southern rock with a sludgy groovy feel. Just released on Rotten Records a few days ago.
My Chemical Romance- Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
Came out in 2010 and they are working on a new album, but I've liked what these guys have done since the beginning. Sure, the scene kids sort of get these guys sneered at (sorry scene kids, nothing against you at all, I was your age once too) but they make great rock and roll. There is some killer songwriting and guitar playing that goes on and Ray Toro channels Brian May a LOT and it is grand. (I maybe a wee bit defense about liking these guys ya think? lol )

Fang Island!
Fang Island has their album for free on Bandcamp until midnight tonight. I have had this album for a few months and love it. If you like prog rock, especially intensely upbeat, guitar virtuoso prog rock, you will love this.
Listen to this album on a Monday morning and you will kick ass all week.

I just picked up The Sword "Gods of the Earth"
Excellent, excellent album if you're a fan of Sabbath style riffing and rocking.
Its not their newest, "Warp Riders" which one person described as too much like ZZ Top in space (which isn't a bad thing) but its a great heavy rocking album with great riffing and great vocals.

I have to admit, I rarely buy new albums. I'm pretty much stuck in the 90's. However, I recently picked up Puscifer's 'Conditions Of My Parole' (2011) - I'm sort of biased because Maynard James Keenan is one of my all-time favourite singers, and I'm a huge fan of Tool/A Perfect Circle. Anyway, the album is superb, most notably 'The Humbling River', 'Tiny Monsters', 'Tumbleweed' and 'Green Valley'.
Just bought Kate Bush's 50 Words for Snow. If you've ever fancied hearing Stephen Fry reciting silly made-up words, this is the ticket.

Never ventured into this part of the forum before, but I just bought Puppet by The Dreaming--Christopher Hall's new band (formerly of Stabbing Westward.) This is actually their second album, and I looooove it. I met him at a show once in 2008, for the first album with this band, and he's really nice.
Loving a random new find, a group called The Silent Comedy. Heard a song a little while ago on a game trailer, gradually been getting more and more into them. Otherwise I tend to be a bit old-er school, not much in the charts tends to grab my attention much and I don't get out enough to find new bands that aren't charting.

I just got Bassnectar's Timestretch. It's a 2010 but new to me. I'm seeing them at Forecastle Fest in July.
Just picked up Ani DiFranco's new album, ¿Which Side Are You On? Definitely a little more subdued than some of her previous albums, but still oh-so-Ani. Which is a synonym for awesome.
Also the Punch Brother's, Who's Feeling Young Now? There is nothing quite like the sound of Chris Thile playing the mandolin...

The Words That Maketh Murder is proper good. Whatever that instrument is that she's playing, I want one too.
