Oh Wonder is a group that has yet to disappoint. They release a new song the first every month and I find myself eagerly waiting the beginning of every month.

I'm sure most of you guys can pick out the track that they're rapping over. I've been listening to Rhyme Asylum quite a bit lately, they haven't made music in a few years at least. Currently my favorite musicians.

Lots of Andrew W.K. lately, guess I'm back in the early 2000s lol.

And while I dislike rap, been in a NWA mood lately. About the only rap I can stand besides Cube's solo stuff.

 
I've been on a screaming metal kick lately. Been seriously digging the hell out of Children of Bodom.

A couple new albums released lately, in heavy rotation on my mp3 player:

The Protomen - The Cover Up

Hollywood Undead - Day of the Dead

They Might Be Giants - Glean
 
Listening to some Harry Fraud instrumentals.  I really enjoy Frauds mellowed out, laid back sounding beats, my favorite being.....

I've recently been listening to a lot of soundtracks at work.  Hans Zimmer, John WIlliams, Howard Shore, Thomas Newman, etc.

 
Just played the new stereo mix for King Crimson's "THRAK" album. Not very impressed as I prefer the original stereo mix. The dueling drum work now is split off between the left and right speaker which ruins the very deep stereophonic sound that was on the original mix. Plus Tony Levin's brilliant bass is now buried in the right speaker as well which really ruins the flow for many songs. Hopefully the new stereo/5.1 mix for the Yes album "Fragile" will be much better. :)

 
Been listening to Radiohead for almost a month now. Recently got into them, and oh man, they are so good.

OK Computer is probably the best album ever. It's Perfectly Crafted from beginning to end.

Solid choice, long time favorite for me, although as the years have passed I started to enjoy Kid A more so.

For me it's been I See Stars and Crossfaith for the last few days. Bit of a metalcore stint.

I started out with OK Computer, then got around The Bends, now I'm listening to Kid A. I think Kid A is a fantastic album as well, but it isn't as ''accessible'' as OK Computer. Took me a few listens to get into it.

Still haven't heard their other albums completely.

 
I need to buy more Radiohead. I like them, just need to get off my ass and buy their albums (I don't buy digital, only physical).

Right now I am listening to the new Frank Zappa The Roxy concert. They finally put out the whole show and well it is an amazing concert.

On Tuesday I got an album from Eric Johnson and Mike Stern coming in. Although I will have to spotify that one at work because Fallout.

Electro-Orchestra sounds awesome. Like a Disney/pirate movie theme song with Laura Brehm's angelic vocals  :whee:

 
Don't know how many people here listen to pop music, but this year has had incredibly strong pop albums.

(I listen to all genres of music, except for country, and even if I don't listen to certain artists I'll check out big releases once)

The new Ellie Goulding, The Weeknd and CHVRCHΞS albums are all pretty much excellent. Expertly written pop records.

It's funny that in the age of streaming and iTunes where you can just listen to or buy the singles, the album as an art form is stronger than it has been in 20 years.
