The Antler song you posted is pretty good, slightly below par though with most of their stuff. Listened to the EP with Dust on it, fairly enjoyable. Nice to have a more mellow soundscape from them. Still enjoying all the other songs, they pack the meat.

Just downloaded some Minsk as well. Let you know how it goes...

Personally, I think Ritual Fires of Abandonment and With Echoes... are slightly better than anything the Ancestors have done, I'm interested to see what you think :)

One of the newer Manics singles resembles Tonight, Tonights verses INCREDIBLY closely in some spots. Check it out tell me if you guys agree.

Yeah, it is reminiscent of Tonight Tonight in the string sections....

Here's a song from an album I liked before I knew what emo was and I categorically rejected it. But hell, I still like it!

I've been really enjoying the two new Blur songs.

Listening to Ryon's (=Bay Street's) "For Ashley" while there is a light summer thunderstorm outside...it's so beautiful, I feel like flying.
You must listen to this, the song is stuck in my head for several months now.
Like acoustic Billy in his best days.

@Venison: I wonder if it was "coincedental" or not. lol

@Epitome: Yeah, new Blur! I'm excited to hear a new album from them! What's your favorite Blur album Epitome? Mine's "Modern Life Is Rubbish."

Listening to more Street Preachers, one of their best tunes easily.

The only Blur album I really like is the self-titled one. The others are all a bit hit and miss for me. I'm not sure they're recording a new album, Damon denied it not long ago. It'd be cool if they did, especially if they keep up the quality of these two songs.

I've been listening to Minsk. Um ... yeah, no where near as good as Ancestors sorry.

I would say Out of a Center is better than the other two albums by a very wide margin. I think that's a very good album. The other two, I'm not so sure. Some of it is goes on for too long, like improv jam sessions, the heaviness gets a bit much at times, not keen on the dude's vocals in some songs. There is of course the occasional gem in any case...

Top 3 Minsk songs:

1. Narcotics and Dissecting Knives
2. Embers
3. Requiem From Substance To Silence

Also like: Waging War on Forevers, Crescent Mirror, Bloodletting and Forgetting, and Wisp of Tow.

Minsk have pretty awesome song titles by the way lol.

Oh well, at least you gave them a go :) Ritual Fires is my favourite album by them.

It doesn't surprise me that Don likes their most experimental album the best. ;) So that's the only one you like or the only one you adore? You must at least enjoy some of their other stuff right?

@Epitome: Yeah, their s/t is prett solid, fairly experimental as well. I think that "Modern Life Is Rubbish" is one of the finest examples of Britpop in the 90s. (Right along with Suede's s/t, Pulp's "Different Class" and Oasis' debut) I'd be willing to bet Blur will make a new album at some point and it WILL kick ass.

Listening to White Stripes right now.

I quite enjoy Blur s/t but it doesn't feel that special at all.

So you're not a fan of more basic Blur? I find that "The Great Escape" is quite underrated and forgotten by many. I mean come on, that album's got "The Universal" and "Country House", two of their best singles.

The fuzzy distortion on it is spot on, and personally I find almost every song on it enjoyable.

13 and Think Tank are both quite good, but I feel there's really an album's worth of great stuff spread over the two of them. As for their earlier stuff, there are some songs I really like but most of it I can live without.

Listening to the Kinks - Picture Book right now.

@Epitome: I think Green Day might've ripped them off with "Warning". Check it out.

Heh, yeah, Warning sounds a hell of a lot like that. I like the Kinks, but I haven't heard that song before - it's good :)

Yeah, it's one of my favorite Kinks songs. So you haven't heard "The Kinks are The Village Green Preservation Society"? (the album Picture Book is on) That is a damn good album, if you haven't listened to it check it out. :)

Listening to the Blues Explosion right now.

I've always meant to give a full Kinks album a go, but I haven't got round to it.
