ALBUMS OF THE MONTH - old & new

NEW ALBUM
THE BEATLES REMASTERED (2009)

Well, actually I wouldn't go buy these remastered albums. I made myself clear that it was a waste of money. But when I stood in a record store sorrounded by all these fantastic albums in brand new covers, I couldn't keep my fingers to myself. I bought the first album (Please Please Me), just to hear the difference. And let me tell you now - the difference is HUGE! I haven't heard John and Paul's vocals sound so good EVER!
I'm buying the albums one by one to hear the difference step by step. Who cares about a stupid box? ;)

OLD ALBUM
PEEPING TOM (2006)

I've been diggin' Mike Patton for a while now. But I think it's culminating this month. Apparently I dig almost every single thing he has recorded, no matter how toxic it sounds. Especially his attempt of making a pop album (Peeping Tom) has made an enormous impression on me.
I'm about to buy some albums from his other project called Tomahawk, which does something I would call "Club Metal" - really thrilling! Another Patton-album I'm about to buy is a soundtrack called "A Perfect Place". It's much more classic, than the other things, he has made. But it sounds terrific!

ALBUMS OF THE MONTH - old & new

OLD ALBUM
When I was about 7 years old, Elvis Presley was like a god to me. Since that age I haven't listened to him. Untill now!
Last Saturday I decided to cheer myself up buying an album in the local CD shop. Noel had just left Oasis, so I was pretty sad, though it was weekend. I ended up with a 3 CD collection with more than 90 Elvis songs; from his early rock'n'roll to his 70's ballads. Definitely the best record, I've bought for a long time!

NEW ALBUM
I think that Arctic Monkeys' 3rd album must be the best album of the month. They've turned out to be a bit more mature on this album - and I like it. It seems to me that they sound like classic Arctic Monkeys mixed with The Dead Weather (which I love). The album is not as good as I had expected, but still a great album. Go buy it!
