God damn this Solange album is colossal. Guys...
I couldn't tell if I was listening to a new Opeth album or either of the last two.
In one ear, out the other. If Opeth were a new band and these were their first three albums, I would have never listened to them. Retro prog is not my thing.
I think I wanna go to Almost Acoustic Christmas this year... But there's definitely crap to wade through.
Night 1: Blink-182, Kings Of Leon, Jimmy Eat World, AFI, X Ambassadors, M83, Grouplove, The Strumbellas
Night 2: Green Day, Beck, Weezer, Bastille, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Phantogram, Bishop Briggs, The Head and The Heart
As always, if you took the best of both days and combined them, it would be incredible, but the nature of the festival means you have to sit through total garbage.
Just out of curiosity, which part is the garbage and which part is incredible to you?
If it was a day of Grouplove, Phantogram, M83, Weezer and Jimmy Eat World with Beck as a headliner, I would drop the cash in a heartbeat.
I've actually seen about half of this lineup already. Besides several of the aforementioned, Green Day was good when I saw them in 2010 but their last handful of albums has been pretty bad, so I'd be sitting through a lot of garbage. AFI is good live, but I don't go out of my way to listen to them. Blink was great for a while when they headlined Riot Fest it but turned into a snoozefest once they brought the newer material in. Kings of Leon was horrendous opening for U2 but I wouldn't be able to tell you what they sound like now.
Bastille and The Head and the Heart are poison in general.

Two albums I listened to recently that are far better than I remember them being are Sufjan's Age of Adz and Antlers' Familiars.

Anything new and awesome I should hear?
How can you post this and not mention me. Let's have a gigantic fucking chat about how good Age of Adz is.
I don't dig Familiars all that much but Palace is easily one of the best songs of the this decade.
i hear you. just watching the little bit of coverage i did was enough to turn my stomach. fym is too much.i'm going to hang out in here. the election thread is making my stomach hurt.
