I persisted with it and gave it a few more listens though and I agree that It is a pretty spectacular album and although I miss the heavy sound, I can appreciate from a musical perspective just what they've done.Quote:

I still dislike some of the songs on the album and find that Follow You in particular would be equally at home on a One Direction record as it would on a BMTH record. Infact, I find myself singing "Royals" by Lorde after the opening drum beat!
Got 1 song on my iPhone 6. Need to look more into them.Quote:

Ryan Adams version of Taylor Swifts 1989 is worth a listen.
Music Complete--New Order is awesome love it.
Just been watching BBC4. S'no really New Order without Hooky. [emoji48]Quote:

Quality and well worth a listen.
If you like hip hop of course.
Faithless 2.0
Some pretty good remixes
new Deerhunter albums excellent, definitely their best.
also Michael Rault - Living Daylight, just came across this but seen as it came out earlier this year it can probably just pass for new
Can't believe Squeeze have come back with a great new album Cradle To The Grave. Didn't think they had it in them. Happy days :thumbsup:
Arcane Roots - Heaven and Earth EP - 5 songs but deary me, they're good.
Fightstar - Behind the Devil's Back - they probably released the best songs as singles before the album came out but I like it - quite Deftones-ey in places. "Sink with the Snakes" is excellent.

The Enemy's new album is ****in superb.
I know it's not new now (released in October) but I've found myself listening to Zipper Down by the Eagles of Death Metal. Extraordinary album.
I really hope that at some point they can be remembered as something other than the band where tens of their fans were massacred by terrorists because they're an outstandingly good fun times rock and roll band. Seen them a couple of times and always entertaining.Quote:

I've mentioned it before but I play in a band called Armstrong, we've just released our debut EP. If anyone is interested there's some links and some of the reviews below. Should have an Edinburgh gig at the beginning of the year.
Armstrong - Thursday Night Club*

Armstrong - You Are Not Alone
https://youtu.be/vEDgFgrFbvg
"There’s nothing more exciting about new music exploration than the realization that a track or sound immediately suggests there’s something truly special at play. *Glasgow indie rockers Armstrong definitely have lots of commercial potential as well as being the kind of band who can have a huge fanbase, and will judging from the musical sample on their debut EP." scottishfiction.co.uk
"Armstrong is a band with a refreshing gift of genuine talent and the potential to bring their take on alternative rock anthems to a wider audience, especially thanks to their well-packaged fun and infectiously catchy songs"*
Ravechild.co.uk*
"Armstrong’s upbeat music is infectious and it is impossible to listen to their music with a frown on your face"
toxiconline.co.uk*
"This record and Armstrong as a band frankly are an absolute breath of fresh air. Don’t me wrong they aren’t reinventing the wheel here; they have just put new tyres on it and made it run a hell of a lot more smoothly. In a world where indie bands are everywhere these guys have come up with a formula to make themselves stand out. Who would have thought great vocals, melodies and song writing would result in a great record!?" themusicaloutcast.com*
"Armstrong have managed to build a constantly engaging and brilliantly entertaining mini-release that is bound to win them fans. It’s an impressive foundation for a blossoming talent, and it’s certainly an EP worth experiencing."*

Find myself unable to stop listening to PVRIS's debut album, White Noise. Bit "dancier" than I'm used to but it's pretty damned good.
Ex Stealers Wheel member, Rab Noakes has a new double CD out called "I'm Walking Here".
A great mix of songs that cover all tastes.
Rick Ross - Black Market and Lana Del Rey - Honeymoon.
Aw the music snobs may scoff (CWG) :greengrin but Coldplay--- A Headful of Dreams. Love it ! Plenty of Oh Oh Owwwwwwws on it ! :faf:

This is a great album very psychedelic.
Obviously not new but The Beatles are now on the streaming sites.
