I've ordered the Deerhunter one too.

Just ordered the Savages - Silence Yourself. It has had some good reviews but also a lot of hype. Pitchfork gave it a very respectable score of 8.7 which for them is very high indeed.
Influences seem to be Joy Division and Siouxsie.

Need to download Armin Van Buuren & Pigeon Detectives latest ones me thinks

The new Deerhunter album is pretty good. I think I marginally prefer it to [iHalcyon Digest[/i, although some of the 'rawk' bits grate on me a tad.

Otherwise very disappointed with the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album - if not for the odd gem it is easily their first truly bad record - much prefer the Strokes' new one in comparison, even if they aren't really cool anymore. I think the new Knife album is okay but its lack of accessibility could be a problem if you liked their earlier stuff.

Currently enjoying the new James Blake and Vampire Weekend releases - both very much still worthy of the past hype heaped upon them.

Yeah the new VW album is great. I wasn't so keen on my first listen, but it's grown on me to the point where I love almost every track. I say almost, as Hudson doesn't really do anything for me.

Looking forward to the new Daft Punk album on Monday, and then a couple of weeks later the new Queens of the Stone Age album is out. That is sounding very promising - every new track I have heard so far has been great.

Daft Punks album



Superb

Agreed. I wasn't overly keen at first but every time I have listened to it since, it has grown on me more and more to the point where I love almost every track now. The only two I'm still not keen on are Game of Love and Contact. So to come out of a 13 track album loving 11 songs is definitely a success in my book.

Hurry and the Harm by City and Colour is excellent on first listen. Very reminscent of Neil Young.

I would fully advocate Mikal Cronin's MCII. On non stop in the car at present, though one thing is annoying me, who he is reminiscent of.

Black Sabbath - 13 - out today !

Is there anyone out there who actually enjoys listening to The Strokes' latest effort?
What a shadow of their former selves they are now! Saw them live for the first time 2 years ago and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement.

Give it up fellas.

I think it is quite enjoyable... Not the white heat of coolness that was their debut, but still it surpassed my expectations. I don't listen to this kind of guitar rock so much these days, but find I have listened to the album quite a bit in recent weeks. To be honest I found the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album a much bigger disappointment - their first bad record IMO.

Quite a few albums out now from 2013 that I like a lot - James Blake, Deerhunter, Vampire Weekend, The National, Boards of Canada, Sally Shapiro. Have just got hold of the latest Kurt Vile, Camera Obscura and Low but not had chance to listen yet.
