AFI - All Hallows EP

Okay, I know that you're probably thinking; "AFI are a bunch of whiny Emo fags". Well, you're wrong. Before AFI became a mainstream rock band, they were (beleive it or not), a Horror Punk band (and before that, a Hardcore band). Now, this is a pretty cool EP, it's long been out of print (on vinyl), although you can still purchase it on CD (which is not even as good). So, there's a Misfits cover on here, and like 3 other original songs. Download it, especially if you hate AFI. Because you'd be suprised to find that they were once an amazing band.

Tracklist
  1. Fall Children
  2. Halloween
  3. The Boy Who Destroyed The World
  4. Totalimmortal

Fuck yeah!

MGMT - Congratulations

Alright, first off, I'm a lazy ass and didn't feel like uploading anything in a while... Did ya miss me? (Obviously no). So, new MGMT album. Fucking superb. They're last album was good, but this really shows that they are more than simply a pop band. Face it, there's a 12 minute song on here, and they seem to enjoy talking about Brian Eno. The change in sound reminded me off... The Horrors. Which is not very relevant. So there's a lot of both electronic and acoustic guitars going on through this record, there are no Time To Pretend or Kids-esque songs. Just tripptacular psychedelic songs. No wonder it took three years for this, they were doing too much acid to concentrate. Which is exactly why this album is fucking fab. Download it, then buy it on CD or vinyl, but preferably vinyl.

So far, this is one of my favorite albums of 2010. Unless Neils Children or some other band do better.

Tracklist:

  1. It's Working
  2. Songs for Dan Treacy
  3. Someone's Missing
  4. Flash Delirium
  5. I Found a Whistle
  6. Siberian Breaks
  7. Brian Eno
  8. Lady Dada's Nightmare
  9. Congratulations
