Wilco - A Ghost is Born (ok this is not exactly new...but i have been listening to this a lot this past week. i must say after a long long period of not listening to wilco, this has put rightfully made me appreciate the genius that is tweedy's solos. i actually liked this more than yankee hotel foxtrot. really really do.)

 

[FluxUs]

A Ghost Is Born is a modern classic that fuses both songcraft and experimentation into a perfect meld.......indeed a new being is born.........

the album after this (Sky Blue Sky) is superb mellow gold.........

Opeth - Watershed[I personally think Watershed is a little letdown because The Grand Conjuration was such a kick-ass album, so I guess I was expecting something better in the same direction. Still a good album nonetheless.]

Archgoat - Whore of Bethlehem[Okay, this is definitely a great black metal album! and it means a lot more to me cos my girlfriend bought it for me!]
