Favorite Albums/Songs/Ep's/Singles/Anything Else

This thread is for favorites of MUSIC. Could be an album you just listened to, a mixtape, a DJ mix or anything else.

This month I've really enjoyed the new Chvrches Recover EP. It only features three original tracks and several remixes, but it's worth it for Recover and Now Is Not The Time.

Charli XCX's new album True Romance came out last week and it is pretty good. Though I like it, many of the albums best tracks have already been featured on previous releases, and include tracks like Cloud Aura, Nuclear Seasons and Grins.

The new Major Lazer album is pretty fun. It reminds me a bit of Calvin Harris' last album simply due to the heavy collaboration with other artists. Get Free is by far the best of the tracks though, which released as a single last year. Other favorites include the other recent singles and Scare Me, a collaboration with Peaches and Timberlee.

I need to give some more listens to The Knife's new album Shaking the Habitual, because so far I am not in love with it. The long, almost ambient type tracks bore me as well as the brief interludes between more substantial tracks. However I love Without You My Life Would Be Boring, A Tooth For An Eye and Raging Lung. Overall though for me personally I'm not enamored with the change in style.

The new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album I really like, though I don't think it's quite as good as It's Blitz. It's their most minimalist album to date, though they retain a recognisable style. Sacrilege, Slave and Buried Alive are among my favorites on this album.

Other tracks I have on rotation are the National's Demons and Don't Swallow The Cap, Jessie Ware's Imagine It Was Us, TNGHT's Acrylics, Fallulah's Superfishyality, Dre Skull's First Time featuring Megan James of Purity Ring and what might have been my track of the summer if it were still summer here, NONONO's Pumpkin Blood.

Jai Paul's debut album also just released a few hours ago, which I've been looking forward to. I'll have to wait until tomorrow though to give it a listen.

Oh, good grief. You put me on the spot here, because I have a lot of pretty good albums, EPs, Compilations, and a few singles here and there. I really love music, and can be caught listening to music a lot, when I am not doing anything else. I'll give you a good list of stuff that i've been loving lately.

1. Aesop Rock: Skelethon
2. The Futureheads s/t
3. Anything after Fear of a Black Tangent by Busdriver
4. The Breeders: Last Splash
5. Small Black: Moon kIller mixtape
6. The Flaming Lips: The Terror (Recently, I've been on a big Flaming Lips kick. I listened to Clouds Taste Metallic, Heady Fwends and even The Soft Bulletin, but it seems out of all of them, I've listened to The Terror the most.)
7. Cold Specks: I Predict a Graceful Expulsion
8. Casiotone for the Painfully Alone: Four Songs EP
9. Julian Malone: Enemy mixtape
10. M83: Hurry Up, I'm Dreaming
11. Four Tet: Remixes/Remixed (I love remixes!)
12. MGMT: Congratulations
13. The Harvey Girls s/t
14. Actress: R.I.P
15. Dan Deacon: America

If I listed any more, then the list might never end, but those are the albums, EPs, etc. I have been really into these days.

Live After Death by Iron Maiden is my favourite live album by far

even though it has Run To The Hills which I don't like too much.

Arturo Contreras-In My Mind Ep

The Lovely Bad Things-The Late Great Whatever

M83-Oblivion-Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

I really love the Jai Paul release which was released on Bandcamp but quickly pulled off and described as a leak of unmastered demos. I've only given it a few listens so far but I'm already able to say it's one of my favourite releases of this year. Really loving Str8 Outta Mumbai, the cover of Crush, the thirteenth untitled track and the previously released Jasmine and BTSTU. Will be looking forward to the proper release of this.

I've also been listening to Nina Nesbitt's EP Stay Out which has a standout upbeat song on it by the same name, and London Grammar's solemn but pretty release Wasting My Young Years.

Dead Confederate-In The Marrow

Currently it's everything that Collapse Under the Empire has ever done.

I really don't feel like listening to anything else.
