As I stopped reading the NME in about 1937 and always avoid Q and Mojo I have to reply on newspapers and mates for recommendations. This means I'm a bit out of touch. Are there any good NEW (i.e. not reissues) CDs out there. The Beta Band new one looks good and I enjoyed Franz Ferdinand but as I hate bands like D12, Darkness I don't get to hear much new stuff.

Well, I`m not much of a music afficianado,I like what I like, but I have bought The Zutons album on a reccomendation from a friend. (and I wont stop going on about them at the mo). Great album!

SLIPKNOT. 24th of next month

RATE OF DEPRESS: just released

If your open minded, try a band called Finntroll.

If your a little more conservative, the new Stills album is good

The Streets - A Grand don't come for free.

Released May 10th. Buy it or be an apricot.

There is want on both sides.

The Capricorns - In The Zone. Buy it if you can and then fall in love with pretty boys all over again.

MARILLION'S NEW ALBUM MARBLES IS RELEASED NEXT WEEK AND IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH BUYING.YOU CAN LISTEN TO CLIPS FROM IT ON www.marillion.com SO YOU CAN MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHETHER TO BUY IT OR NOT.ANOTHER REASON FOR BUYING IT IS BECAUSE IT FEATURES THE TOP 10 SINGLE YOU'RE GONE.

and yes, i know theyre not all just out new.

Fear Factory have just released one. Don't know if it's any good. I'm waiting for Mother's Day so I can coerce one of the kids into buying it for me.

New albums eh?

Unordinarychild recommends:

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free
The Zutons - Who killed the zutons?
N.E.R.D - Fly Or Die
Kill Bill Volume 2 Soundtrack

All are very good in there own way.

I quite like Snow Patrol's new album Final Straw.

And I've been listening to Brand New's - Deja Entendu.

I usually don't like recommending music unless I know a person's tastes really well. Apparently I have weird taste according to my mate who likes Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Erm, final straw is not a new album, it was released last year sometime, before being re-released this year.
And there is something about bon jovi, after being forced on pain of death to listen to living on a prayer a few times, you become brainwashed.

they've gone back to their original sound. slightly thrashy. abit more crooning as well from the songs i've heard.

fantomas is a bunch of poop. every time it sounded like they where breaking into a brilliant intro it stopped...cue some strange wind noises, a few crashes of the cymbol. bloody pissed me off.

now tomahawk. that's cool. mr bungle is the best of the lot. obviously after faith no more.

I buy a lot of Punk/Rock/Metal compilations from smaller labels to "Discover" new bands to like

I've just got "Punk goes Metal". which is basicly punk bands covering metal songs
(AFI Covering GnR's My Michelle ?!?)

Worth listening to for the Covers of :-
Slayer's War ensemble, with a Jazz Bridge !
Harvester of sorrow, Lead guitar Played on a Trumpet
a rasta cover of Megadeths Holy Wars

I've also got Metalliska, same sort of thing, ska bands doing rock/Metal covers

Anyone for a ska cover of Europe's the final countdown played on the saxaphone (honestly, its fucking brilliant.

Oh, and if you havent got it, but Muse, Absolution. by far the best album so far this century.....(IMHO)

No. There have been no good new albums this year. It's all guff. Save yourself the money.

Led Zeppelin DVD

its the mutts nuts

Thanx postal postie.

From what I've seen, what I class as a good album probably wouldn't be appreciated :P.

N.E.R.D Fly or Die has been mentioned and that is a good album, well worth a buy.

Late 2003, but still, if anyone's still reading this, give Oceansize's "Effloresce" a chance. It's fantastic, very epic.

If you know Mogwai (if so, good man) it's a lot like them in parts but they stick to convention a tiny bit more, rockier too, though that's probably not a word I should use.

Another fan here, especially "Dont worry about it"

Right then. I'm off to buy NERD.

I listened to a CD once, but it wasn't much good.

Finally got hold of Fear Factory's 'Archetype'. Brilliant!
Not a lot going that appeals to me this year. That's the first CD I've bought in 6 months.

Mariska you old headbanger - I loved Fear Factory until my brother and I went to one of their gigs at the London Astoria and managed to have a normal conversation over the top of PissChrist.

If loud/hard rocks your boat, I recommend Amplifier by Amplifier (I'm flogging these a bit on this forum but haven't been as excited by a band in years - they've really pushed the boundaries)

NERD album is also way cool though!

Got the Scissor Sisters album the other day, tis great!

Also got Zero 7 at same time, ideal for lazy, red wine induced, chilled out evenings, very Air, IMHO.
