Posts from What bands/albums have you listened to recently?

I accidentally found the band Carolina Liar and decided to listen to them. They have two albums so far, and the first, Coming To Terms, is more appealing than the second, Wild Blessed Freedom. I liked the songs When You Are Near, Done Stealin', Coming To Terms, and Undone.

I also listened to the Finnish artist Paradise Oskar and his album Sunday Songs, which has a pleasant sound, but so far only Da Da Dam is really catchy (it's been catchy for two years now).

Biffy Clyro and their double album Opposites, which was released this year. I already liked a few songs, and perhaps others will appeal to me over time, as is usually the case with their work. I love bands that can still please you after some time has passed. And they haven't changed their style, although there are a couple of exceptions. One of them is the song Biblical, which I immediately liked. I also liked Opposite, partially Different People, and The Fog.

My Chemical Romance started releasing two songs at a time, as if they were B-sides to an album, even though it is only planned for release. Or maybe it will be released in this format? I don't know, but it looks like what those guys are doing. They also release two songs every month or two, thus planning to release 18 B-sides. I’ll write about them later when they all come out. There is no such information about My Chemical Romance yet, but I will update this post if new ones are released. I liked the artifacts for the songs.


Boy Division
Tomorrow's Money
Both are full of drive and energy, but I only like the first one.


AMBULANCE
Gun
These two are a little calmer, and again, I only like the first one.


The World Is Ugly
The Light Behind Your Eyes
It gets quieter and quieter; the second one is generally a ballad. I liked the chorus in the first one.


Kiss the Ring
Make Room!!!!
And again, back to the first two, only these are inferior to them.


Surrender the Night
Burn Bright
Yes, it’s all coming full circle. The first one is better.

I probably won't write about MCR anymore, since the band broke up. I hope it's temporary. Meanwhile, I listened to the French artist Mickael Miro and his two albums. Overall, I liked it, especially some of the songs. From the first album, I liked: Dans Les Bras De Personne, Mon Père, Dans Ma Boule De Cristal, and La Lune S'en Fout. In the second, I liked these the most: On S'Aime, On Saigne, Rien De Personnel, Le Temps Des Sourires, and Tu Es La. I also listened to the new album Comedown Machine by The Strokes. Apparently, many people didn't like it very much, but I found it quite appealing. Almost half of the songs were to my liking, these are: One Way Trigger, Chances, 80's Comedown Machine, Call It Fate Call It Karma. Vanilla Sky also released a new album. It was released last year, but I only listened to it now, and I don't like it very much yet. It's just that this kind of music doesn't appeal to me as much anymore, because there's a lot of new music that's more interesting.

Finally, I listened to two bands that I've wanted to check out for a while. One of them is the Swedish band Moneybrother, and I was really impressed with their music. I discovered them through the song They're Building Walls Around Us, which I found to be unique, interesting, and for some reason, it made me think of Jewish people, lol. They have several albums, one of which is in Swedish, if I understood correctly. I haven't listened to them much yet, but I already like some of their songs: In the Nighttime, 6Am, Blow Him Back Into My Arms, I'm Not Ready For It, Jo, It Might As Well Be Now, It Will Not Happen Here, Showdown, Young Faithful Love.

The second band is from America and is called The Airborne Toxic Event. I found out about them through the song Sometime Around Midnight. It's one of my top three songs about jealousy. Although I only remember three songs, there are probably more. I also liked these songs: All I Ever Wanted, Timeless, The Graveyard Near The House, Parson Redheads, Numb, Missy, Goodbye Horses, and A Letter To Georgia.

Right now, I'm really into the British band Kasabian. They're like Oasis, but with a harder edge. I recommend these tracks: Empire, Goodbye Kiss, L.S.F. (Lost Souls Forever), Where Did All The Love Go?, Underdog, Shoot The Runner, Vlad The Impaler, Fire, Club Foot, and, surprisingly, their cover of Video Games (originally by Lana Del Rey).

I found this musical and plan to watch it; in the meantime, I'm enjoying the songs from this work. Without further ado, I’ll immediately write about the songs that I liked.

Camille Lou, Louis Delort - Tomber Dans Ses Yeux – for me, this song is the best; I really like it, and I even added it to my list of favorite songs. It is performed by two main characters of this story.
Camille Lou - La sentence – there were no solo female songs that I completely enjoyed in the rock opera about Mozart, but here there is one.
Louis Delort - Sur Ma Peau
Louis Delort, Rod Janois - La Rue Nous Appartient
Rod Janois - Ca ira mon amour
Roxanne Le Texier - Je Vous Rends Mon Ame
La troupe - Pour la peine
The orchestral introductions are also good.

Another musical, but it is only planned for release this fall, although the songs are already available to listen to. I hope I can watch it sometime too.
I liked these songs, although I didn’t like the last one right away, but after watching the video. And somehow its performer reminds me of Revan, lol.
M. Pokora - Le jour qui se rêve
M. Pokora - Si l'amour existe
Sacha Tran - Quinze ans à peine
Stéphanie Bédard, M Pokora - Tes blessures
Nyco Lilliu - Un monde à changer


I also listened to Florent Mothe and his new album, although it may be his first album, I don't know. Overall, it's good, although I liked Mervan's album more. As for the songs, I was most impressed by Les Blessures Qui Ne Se Voient Pas, Je Ne Sais Pas, Tu M'effaces, Arrête, and it should be noted that there is a cover of Queen, the song Bohemian Rhapsody (Acoustique).

At the beginning of the topic, someone already mentioned the band Zeromancer, but not me; I only listened to them now. And if the last.fm is to be believed, the genre is Industrial rock, electronic. Actually, I've known them for a long time, but only from two songs, Famous Last Words and Erotic Saints, which I've already listened to a lot. I especially like the first one. Recently, I also liked Hollywood, and today The Tortured Artist. I'm still getting to know the others, and besides, they sound different from the first two, so it takes time to get used to them and listen carefully. I'm sure I'll like something else; they have good songs.

I listened to some new albums.
First, New Politics pleased me with their album A Bad Girl In Harlem. Although the sound has become softer, the album turned out to be just as cool as the first one. It has a real spring-summer vibe, with a positive mood. I especially liked the songs Harlem, Stuck On You, Overcome, Tonight You're Perfect, and Die Together.

Second, Escape the Fate pleased me with their Ungrateful. They pleased me a little less, but I didn't expect much, so it's okay. I liked I Alone, Father, Brother, and Live Fast, Die Beautiful.

Third, 30 Seconds to Mars surprised me (!) by going even further into electronic music and releasing Love Lust Faith + Dreams. After the first listen, Bright Lights, City Of Angels, and the unusual End Of All Days seemed appealing.

And suddenly, the fourth was Amaury Vassili and his album Una Parte Di Me. I just didn't understand if it combines his songs and already known songs performed by him, or only the latter. I'm not very familiar with opera singing, so I can't recognize some songs, mistaking them for Amaury's own songs. In any case, I liked them, especially Con Te, Insieme A Lei, La Guerra, and Amici Noi. This kind of singing is inspiring and has a generally positive effect. I should look for something similar.

I listened to the German band A_liFe [DivideD], and they seemed quite interesting to me, both in terms of music and vocals. At first, I liked the song Perpetual, but it turned out to be a cover of another band, as well as the song Sounds Like A Melody. But in my opinion, their versions are better than the originals. Besides these, I also liked the songs Solid, Cry For Help, Leaving, Save Me, The End, and a few others.

I also listened to AFI, although I didn't really like them before. But they still have some good songs: Cold Hands, Don't Change, It Was Mine, Jack the Ripper, On the Arrow, The Leaving Song, The Missing Frame, Veronica Sawyer Smokes, and This Time Imperfect.

I can also write about A Friend In London, who finally released an album. Overall, it's good, especially Get Rich In Vegas, Time Took My Words, Out Of My Hands, Are You Lost, and New Tomorrow, although I've known the last one for a long time.

Oh yes, I forgot about 7eventh Time Down and their only (presumably) album, Alive In You. I liked Rusty Nails, as well as I Need Someone and World Changer.

I finally listened to A-ha and was pleased. They have so many good songs, although most of them are from the band's later albums. I already knew some of the songs and had been listening to them for a while; I even considered one of them my favorite until I listened to the rest. Now, Birthright is the best for me; it's a wonderful song. A Fine Blue Line is also very good, as are the others: (Seemingly) Nonstop July, White Dwarf, White Canvas, Dragonfly, Shadowside, You'll Never Get Over Me, Lifelines, Angel In the Snow, Time & Again, To Let You Win, Holy Ground, Turn The Lights Down, Stay On These Roads, Waiting For Her, Nothing Is Keeping You Here, Analogue, Take on me, etc.

I also randomly found Aaron Shust, who writes Christian music that is very pleasant to listen to. I really liked Give Me Words to Speak. The other songs are also good.

In general, there are now many Christian bands, and many of them write great songs, like After Edmund. I haven't listened to them much yet, but I already like Fear for Love, 1 2 11, and Times Have Changed.

I also listened to Agnes Obel, a rather interesting folk artist. I learned about her through the song Brother Sparrow.

I'm currently listening to the British band Kasabian. They're similar to the beloved Oasis, but with a harder edge. I recommend these tracks: Empire, Goodbye Kiss, L.S.F. (Lost Souls Forever), Where Did All The Love Go?, Underdog, Shoot The Runner, Vlad The Impaler, Fire, Club Foot, and, surprisingly, a cover of Video Games (originally by Lana Del Rey).

Yes, I also listened to Kasabian recently, and I would add the track Fast Fuse to the list. But, honestly, I expected more from the band – they've only released four albums since 1999, and only the tracks mentioned above are really worth listening to.
