I'm pumped.
Thanks for mentioning this, I'm gonna check it out when I can.Obituary's new album comes out Friday, looking forward to it.
Their first two albums are far and away my favorite. Seems most old school death metal bands that my favorite is their first albums, lots of which are considered all time classics in the genre.Thanks for mentioning this, I'm gonna check it out when I can.
I know this is going back 30 years, but I still like The End Complete.
I'd disagree I haven't gone back to the previous National album at all. They seem like a band that's past their peak and are now relying on collaborations to maybe boost them up. I don't think any of the ones made the songs on the previous album any better.
Boxer, High Violet and Alligator are definitely the peak for me. I liked Trouble Will Find Me but not as much as those three, and Sleep Well Beast and I Am Easy To Find have each been weaker than albums before them.I'd disagree I haven't gone back to the previous National album at all.

Excited for the Danny Brown. It's been delayed a few times.Not a ton that has been announced which have caught my eye, but there are a few. Stoked on:
Danny Brown
Fever Ray
Gorillaz
Yo La Tengo
Thanks again for mentioning the new Obituary (Dying of Everything). I wanted to show 'em some love, and help their bottom line in a small way, so I bought it on CD. It's good from start to finish, they haven't fallen off much in 30+ years.Their first two albums are far and away my favorite.

That said, they don't make CDs like they used to.. Used to be you'd practically get a novel packed with the disc. Booklet with lyrics, band photos, artwork, long thank yous to everyone involved. This had a single fold-out page with band member names. Different times..
