is the new kings of leon good?

bump so I can get some new CDs

[Big Boy Laroux]

yep, awesome. i'd probably rank it their 3rd best of the 4, but it's not very far behind their first 2. Their 3rd is my least favorite, although I still really like it.

[fluid.forty.one]

I like some of their stuff a lot.. I'll have to pick that up

[Big Boy Laroux]

I'm spinning a few CDs right now:

New Joshua Radin
New Snow Patrol
New Keane
New Ray LaMontagne
New Ryan Adams and the Cardinals

[92bDad]

I'm into all sorts of tunes, grew up on some 70's & 80's Metal, but have adapted to Country tunes as well as some select Christian music...such as:



Lacrae

This guy reminds me of the early days of Whoudini and Run-DMC, great Rap and Great Message!!!

[Windmill360]

Mastodon - Leviathan

AND

Mastodon - Blood Mountain

[Big Boy Laroux]

Paraphrasing...

Morgan: Yeah, I think I have it on my Zune. Hold on a sec.

Chuck: Wait a second, you have a ZUNE?!

Morgan: Ha ha, of course not. I'll go get my iPod.

[Flacolaco]

If you're a guitar player (a real guitar player, not someone with an Ibanez) you have to check this instrumental album out.



I know it's been out for a while, but I'm slow. It's great stuff.

[92bDad]

Listened to a little Zebra on the way into the office today.

I LOVE that album (but I also love the musicians who inspired them to make that album - you'd probably hate MY music!)






EDIT: BTW - never commented on your music, but I loved it, despite not really being a bluegrass fan...

No, thank YOU for making enjoyable music!

I love Molly's voice, but she definitely sounds her age - I'm interested to hear what her voice sounds like when it finally "breaks" - she obviously has a lot of training in addition to her natural talent, so I have a feeling she'll sound wonderful into her adult years (did she sing in church growing up? She has a soulful quality to her voice...)

And I love how you rip it up on your respective strings - you have the "cerebral talent" in addition to the "heart" (what can I say - I'm a jazz-head when it comes to technicality and you didn't fail to impress!)

[fluid.forty.one]

yeah, she already sounds different (better) than she did a year ago when I first heard her.

www.myspace.com/mollyadkinsmartinstevens - for anyone who is wondering wtf we're talking about

here's another guy whose CD I just recorded (only fiddle) on. only track I'm on on the myspace is the first one I believe, "Head's Up" http://www.myspace.com/jakedewhirst -- bluegrass fiddle, which is what I mostly did till I met molly.

Nice little solo there - would've been nice to hear more!


I think you've inspired to post some of my music for D-M, but that might just be the alcohol and rage about the Mavs losing to the Lakers talkin'....

Bob Dylan

[Kirobaito]

I'm listening to Alastair McDonald - "Songs of Scotland," just a collection of Scottish folk tunes. I don't think I've heard a word of what he's sang... I'm just listening to the melodies, and they're all incredible.

yuckkk

Kanye was the last mainstream "real" rapper. now he's just like every other lame hiphop artist. I hate Lil' Wayne, T Pain and whatever Kanye has become.

I guess I can see not liking it (it had to grow on me a bit) but I don't see the connection to lil Wayne and T-Pain outside of his use of the auto tuner. I'd say the sound and subject matter are unique and there's not a trace of bravado on the album.

I also tend to think that this is a diversion cause by events in his life. I don't think this is his new bit (at least I hope now).

yeah, I heard he's not considering it one of his "albums". He's doing it because his girlfriend/wife of forever left him, right?

I just noticed him going in a new direction even with Graduation, and now this. And the auto tuner is through the entire album and I can't handle it.

speaking of rap -- been "spinning" one of my favorites the past couple days..

Yea I went through a Roots phase myself a couple of weeks ago. Burnt all my Roots CD's to the iphone. As far as Tipping Point "Star/Pointro may be my favorite Roots track of all time. If not it's in the top five.

edit: think i'll listen to it now...

[dirno2000]

Probably better than hearing him sing the whole album.

haha, very true

[dirno2000]

Oh yea, while we're here I meant to give you a tip of the cap for your music thread. It's probably a little outside of my wheelhouse but as an amateur guitarist myself I appreciate the work and the talent that went into it.
