Fu Manchu's latest offering's havent been as good as what they should have been - let's hope next week's new album will be...
Kate Bush's last album, Ariel: Pretentiousness and self-indulgence are fine if you end up with a "The Kick Inside" or a "Hounds of Love", but this crap is inexcusable. And it's a double CD!
DNRiviera....yep, I know the Gorillaz is quite an old album. But, as I bought it in the last couple of years, it was erm....new to me when I bought it, even if it wasn't newly released. Erm....something.
Super Furry Animals - Dark Days Light Years
Eels - Hombre Lobo
both a bit of let down, don't and won't get played much.
Kev
Funny that, I am loving the new super furries album!
Spotify is a wonderful invention, I have saved lots of spending and/or downloading by finding albums less than good.
Recently I have been disappointed by the new Plaid album. And also despite being a huuuge fan, I wasn't that taken with the new Muse one either 🙁

I always find that with Eels albums, and then he'll release a live album with the same songs on and they sound like classics. I haven't listened to Hombre Lobo much, but then I have to be in a certain mood to listen to E. 🙁
Why is it considered pretentious to suggest music by artists that others may not have heard of? Surely that's the whole bloody point! Otherwise they just have to listen to Radio 2. 6Music and The Word are my constant sources of new music, I'm constantly making notes of new artists. Fanfarlow, First Aid Kit and Taken By Trees are just three I've heard recently, plus Henry Thomas, a black blues singer from America, who's song Bulldozer Blues was covered by Canned Heat. It was recorded in 1927...
Bought Mumford & Son last weekend, and I'm loving it, but Sweet Billy Pilgrim's album was disappointing, and I have taken albums back over the last year or so. Can't remember names now, tho'
AFI Crash Love is brilliant, totally love it.
New Brand New album Daisey is also brilliant.
Waiting on the new Skunk Anansie album, can't wait especially as I am seeing them in November.
I have to admit to not even bothering with the new Isis album. I have been a big fan of theirs from their very first e.p. and album, and to begin with they evolved with each and every release but around Panopticon, they began to stagnate and ...absence of truth was a little dull.
Personally I love the new Alice in Chains.
I think the biggest let down for me is the new Clutch, but their albums tend to be growers so I'll reserve judgement
On reflection, 10,000 Days is easily my least played Tool album, nowhere near the 'journey' experience of previous albums.
Find most Green Day albums start off great, play twice, then never again- no staying power!
Not exactly impressed with The Cribs.
Fortunately I'm liking Noah and the Whale (got them both at the same time...)

Hombre Lobo was a grower for me, although I'm always disappointed when he does another "just guitars"-type album instead of a more samples-type one... if you see what I mean!
Not new, but the last GnR album was a real cackfest
Haven't been that disappointed since I bought Deep Purples "Come Taste The Band"
Its wishy-washy though? (compared to their old material). Even his voice has lost some of its old timba'Dimmadan - MemberAFI Crash Love is brilliant, totally love it.
