Arctic Monkeys – Humbug

41ie9EiKfGL._SL160_A new one. Too bad I still got no internet at the moment. But I’ll won’t keep it from you. The Arctic Monkeys have a new studio album out. This one is produced by Queens of the Stone Age front Josh Homme. Recorded somewhere in the Californian desert it sounds promising. As mentioned before I can’t listen to it yet but we’ll see to that and then you’ll get it straight :)

Billy Talent III – Wanted to hard but couldn’t stand the pressure

Billy Talent - Billy Talent IIIObviously there is already a version of the upcoming Billy Talent III album out there in the wild. I was able to listen to it and I have to admit that I’m really disappointed. After I and II and a great tour all around the world – this album is just not enough. It feels like they want to belong somewhere so badly but they’re not suited for that niche. You might ask yourself: “WTF is he talking about?” Okay, let me explain. The new album feels like they tried to get the whole album mainstream radio playable which is exactly what the last two albums were not (not that the stations didn’t play them eventually).

Overall this disc is slower than the other ones. But this is my first impression so I will definitly wait till the “real” release is out and rant about that then again.

Billy, I’m very sorry but this is crap (compared to I and II).

Disco Ensemble recovers magicly

51OI7Zr8arL._SL160_Dunno if thats exactly true. Nevertheless. The new album Magic Recoveries is out there a while now. After listening to the 2nd album over and over again the 3rd is quite refreshing. New elements in their music. It’s a nice album but I guess it doesn’t have the same effect as the 2nd one. In some places the vocal isn’t that clear as I got used to it from the first.

But anyways. I like it for the time beeing. So check it out.
