That Handsome Devil - That Handsome Devil
"Following the self-help single “Dating Tips” which has since been rumored as the genus of the Neil Strauss book “The Game”, That Handsome Devil releases their debut self-titled EP. Arriving with an amazing arsenal of explosive riffs, guitars, keys and horns sweetened by the astounding production of Jeremy Page, front man Godforbid creates imagery that takes the listener from lumbering dreamscapes to howling anthems of cock-walking future pop. Chock-full of edgy lyrics delivered with a bar room swagger and raspy gruffness that forces you to trust their depth, charisma and balls, That Handsome Devil comes off like Tom Waits-meets-Ol Dirty Bastard. Forget Gnarls Barkley, thanks to the That Handsome Devil, the art of post-rap song-writing is here to serve you all, kick plenty of ass and take no prisoners." Portishead - Dummy Found this album only a few months ago. I am STILL listening to it obssessively. As of now, I have played it a good 255 times. That's a lot. This is some of the saddest music I have ever heard, and it got me through the hardest time of my life. another note - It's THE definitive Trip Hop album. Damnation - Opeth NOt much to say other than give it a listen. It's Opeth's only album with non death metal vocals, and their singer has one amazing voice. There's nothing you can compare this album with. Soundgarden - Superunknown I couldn't decide whether I should put superunknown or down on the upside on here, but the track Head Down puts this album just ahead of it. This track alone is worth buying the whole album. It's hauntingly psychedelic, and will take you out of this world. Animal Magic - Bonobo Also one of the saddest albums I have ever listened to. This is pure emotion packed into music. And it barely has any vocals. Like most of the albums on my list, this will take you out of this world. Maxinquaye - Tricky Great album, and Tricky's best album by far, this album has some of the best songs in the history of trip-hop, and even samples Smashing pumpkins, and portishead. Aftermath is a recommended listen, as well as strugglin'. Absolution - Muse One of my favorite male vocalists, apart from Tom Waits, and Chris Cornell, Matthew Bellamy reaches an all time high on this one. (literally.) Their music, also like a lot of music on this list, defines many of my aspirations as a musician. This is the music I've dreamed of making. Mega!! Kung Fu Radio - Powerman 5000 This is Powerman 5000's older stuff, before they became more metal oriented. This is funky, groovy, hip, and whatever else you can think of. One of the reasons I still like Powerman 5000 is this album. It's definitely worth a listen. Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins I know, it's two albums, but I couldn't choose one. Mellon Collie has been touted as one of the best concept albums to date, and I have to agree. From the nostalgic Tonight, Tonight, to the angry, bitter Fuck You (Ode to No one), this album has it all, and it's all top quality music that only a perfectionist could make. Yeah yeah, I went over five, but these couldn't be left out. There are still many more I would like to put on here, but I don't want to annoy you guys too much! How ya doing, buddy? |
