Anyway, everyone in this thread must hear the album! Turn on the Bright Lights by Interpol. [/ QUOTE ] I have a feeling that most everyone who is reading this thread has indeed heard it. |

Re: General Music Discussion Thread Vol. 2
I'm sure there are some lurkers who haven't, and they need to.
I've no doubt that the people posting in this thread have heard it. |

Re: General Music Discussion Thread Vol. 2
Any early thoughts on "In Rainbows?" I'm downloading it right now. I'm also curious, what did people pay for it?

Re: General Music Discussion Thread Vol. 2
Wait, what is this Inter-pole all the kids are talking about?
I've only listened to In Rainbows once, and I'm gonna refrain from comment atm because I've decided I never know how I feel about an album till I've heard it at least 3 times. I've also listened to that latest Jens Lekman album nath keeps talking about. First impression is that his voice sounds a lot like Morrissey's. Very cool song arrangements. But like the Radiohead album, I've only heard it once, so who knows. |

Yeah, maybe so. What kind of venue was it? I've seen LCD twice at festivals-- one on a large outdoor stage and one in a smaller tent with an accompanying light show and such. The latter blew away the former. [/ QUOTE ] Outdoor, at Leeds wireless festival, probably a similar setup to the former. I'm with you that smaller venues are almost always better, more or less every band I've seen more than once (probably only like a half dozen) did a better show in the more intimate venue. |

Oh, and I opened this thread to re-emphasize how good the Jens Lekman album is. I think it's the best album of the year and maybe better than anything that came out last year. It could be my sensibilities, but I think, at worst, you will find it great. [/ QUOTE ] Couldn't agree more. I don't remember liking an album this much since Funeral came out. Just a beautiful record, and I think the album cover is pretty awesome too and describes how the record is. My top 5 so far at the moment I think is: 1) Jens Lekman - Night Falls over Kortedala 2) M.I.A.- Kala 3) LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver 4) Arcade Fire - Neon Bible 5) Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha Okkervil River's album should be there too though. Biggest disappointment is the Rilo Kiley album. I know I shouldn't have expected much, but I love The Execution of all Things and the last Elected CD so much, that I was still looking forward to it. |

[/ QUOTE ] I definitely agree with this, but some bands' shows translate to a larger venue better then others. For example, I've seen My Morning Jacket at a tiny venue (~100 people) a small venue (~300 people) and at Lollapalooza (obv. large outdoor show). I think the last one was probably the most fun. |
