That said, I still don't mind it. It's got a good groove.

I tried really hard, but I can't get into Battle Studies at all. I adored Continuum and wanted to like this album, but it just isn't working for me. It's as if the parts I disliked about Continuum (the popish bits devoid of blues) have just been expanded to the length of an entire album. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a good pop song, but these don't do much for me.

New Order is back, minus Peter Hook and under the name Bad Lieutenant.

Its not quite the same without the epic bass runs.
Actually this whole post is just an excuse to post my favourite video of all time:

30 Seconds to Mars will be releasing their third album on Tuesday titled 'This is War'.

Kings and Queens and the title track have been fantastic thus far.

Vampire Weekend has a new record dropping in January, and the first single is great.

Peter Hook was the best thing about New Order. The music is getting less edgier with every incarnation since Joy Division, but I like the new song.

How can I get all this John Mayer out of my thread? I'm so tired hearing about what a good guitarist he his. There were guys in your high school that were just as good, but didn't have the good looks and good fortune. He is so un-rock and roll.

Whenever I see that John Mayer cover art, I think of Tracy Chapman.

You probably know this, but the shadowy figure in the doorway represents the dead dude from Joy Division.

I don't really know anything about John Mayer. The only song of his that I actually know is the one where he sings about running through a high school. I've always since written him off as not really my thing.

I have since seen him in a few things (non-musical) and from these he appears to not be a d-bag and actually a cool guy.

The wale track that mayer is on isn't too bad, so I think I'm going to give him a chance.

For someone just getting into John Mayer, what should i check out?
What songs off his new album are worth a listen to?

Don't go new album. Go John Mayer Trio "Try!" Best album of his. Good tracks (if you like bluesy rock):

"Who Did You Think I Was?"
"Vultures"
"Another Kind of Green"
"Try"

I'm really looking forward to this one.

Priestess released their new album Prior To The Fire a couple of weeks ago. This album is super kick ass. I love these guys.

Did you know Living Colour is still a going concern?

The New York band returns after five years to release its fifth album

Engine09 · 01-06-2010, 10:58 AM

Vivid, Time's Up and Stain are absolutely brilliant. One of my favorite bands, Vernon Reid and Will Calhoun are incredible players. Hell, cannot disregeard Doug Wimbish either, he's a huge part of Stain.

I remember going to a Will Calhoun drum clinic at the old Mother's on 14th & 17th, one of the best performances I have ever seen.

sclitheroe · 01-06-2010, 11:51 AM

Bad Religion is supposed to be releasing a new album in 2010, but no details as of yet.

I believe Corey Glover has been performing on Broadway during the hiatus. Vernon Reid is amazing.

This is correct. Try! is great. Battle Studies is a steaming pile of dog poo.
