The next album I wanna buy is ......

[-Jar-]

...Botch's We Are The Romans. More "noisecore"/math-metal goodness in a similar vein to Dillinger Escape Plan, The End, and Burnt By The Sun.

Just ordered it a couple of days ago from one of Amazon's adjunct outlets (from NJ, I think). I have a sinking feeling that the album is going out of print shortly--Amazon no longer carries it directly. So for those of the metal persuasion, pick it up soon! Everything else I've listened to from Botch has been crazy good, and We Are The Romans is reputed to be their best effort (out of 2 full-lengths and a final EP) so I don't think it'll disappoint.

Definately post a review.. I have AN ANTHOLOGY OF DEAD ENDS and it is very kick-ass metalcore goodness.. no doubt. Very short however.. couldn't really tell it was an EP when I bought it, but yea, it's short.

I'll have to send you some stuff from Craw's first two albums.. very out of print, but I think you'd dig 'em. Another one you'd enjoy is December's THE LAMENT CONFIGURATION. I've probably pushed this album several times by now, but it's a damn good blast of metal-hardcore insanity. Amazing drummer. Converge and Cave-In is Sunday night, and I just found out my friend's band is playing Saturday night.. not sure if I can make both shows!!

After looking at lots of ytd faves lists that abound on the net I'll be needing to order up pretty soon.

Mine-

Assemblage 23-Storm. USA's best IDM band by a wide margin. One of the best in the world for that matter.

Robots In Disguise-heavy hitting electronic music with a bent similar to Le Tigre in terms of the robust feminism.

I'd like to check out the Canadian band Stars. Lots of recs for the show and the first album but they had a new one just released in August. Haven't heard too much about this one though and nothing but silence from the north of the border contingent about this band is making me waver ever so slightly on this one.

From the net:

Arcade Fire, OK, primarily from db-eye but I see the name popping up an awful lot. Not that db's rec isn't enough...

Radio 4

The Walkmen-which I confused with the Walkabouts for a very short time. My bad.

Maybe the Von Bodies or whatever. I've enjoyed every track I've heard by this band so maybe it's time to buy?

I had the same prob awhile back and bought Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone- biggest POS I've paid money for all year. And I DO mean POS.
