New Music Releases Thread

The album just arrived and it’s not much help. No track by track credits. Lists Mike and the 2 guitarists as vocalists, then Karina Denike (keyboards/vocals) and John Carey as backup vocals (doesn’t say on what) and guitar and recording and arranging, and then “NOFX would like to thank a lot of people but are unable to... :/“

She’s from Dancehall Crashers. I thought I recognised the voice and I was t a million miles away guessing Mo Powell (they are both from female fronted aka bands).

I know most aren't arsed about Hip Hop in here but given Nas is top five of all time, some might be interested that he's just released his best album in a fair while.

Quite like that new Bully record on first listen as well, seems to be getting really good reviews.

Came to mention the Nas album, it’s getting decent reviews so far. Need to give it a listen.

Thx, RH were my wife’s favorite band of the past few years and she was gutted when they broke up. Will give this one a go.

Such a good band! Worked quite closely with them for a time. ‘High’ still absolutely bangs. Lead singer went on to form Shogun and the Sheets.

Yeah, we’ve been trying to keep track of him a bit - sounds like he has a few issues (and I think last we saw he was living at home with his mam or something and got his first cell phone quite recently!). Those 2 albums are belters!

Very complex guy, lovely though! Let me know what you reckon to that Romero stuff - cult following in Oz they reckon already and I’ve asked the manager for a couple more unreleased tunes.

Isn’t that what everyone says after every album he releases though?

Nope. His last two albums are both sat on a 58 ranking on metacritic. It's quite a cool thing to criticise Nas these days. Not sure anyone would suggest either album is close to Life is Good.

As much as I enjoy listening to the better modern rappers like Gibbs over an extravagant Alchemist or Madlib beat, there's something that hits different hearing Nas over a simple beat with some drums and horns. 10 Points is the best Nas song I've heard in a loooooong time.

I think this may be the first time I’ve repeated something, but with it being my hero I make no apologies.

It is like.

“This doesn’t stop Nas fans from their Dylan-esqe insistence that every new Nas album is “his best since Illmatic.”

Just Google ‘Nas best album since Illmatic’ and nearly every album he has released since comes up.

Absolutely f***ing love @mad cyril recommendations me. Although he’s probably not far off thinking I’m some kind of weirdo :oops:
