Fanfarlo - Resevoir http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XM1LJ1MM

I am loving this album and have not checked to see if it's already posted. I get a Arcade Fire/David Byrne/Clap Your Hands feeling when I listen. Quite enjoyable.

[Edited on June 12, 2009 at 1:53 PM. Reason : .]

6/12/2009 1:52:55 PM

Anybody have the album I requested? Thx

6/12/2009 1:54:15 PM

How much music do you guys listen to a day? I'm trying to keep up, but its hard to digest this as fast as you guys are posting. I'm still digesting most of 2008.

6/12/2009 1:59:46 PM

Yeah, I posted it several months ago, and I made the David Byrne/Arcade Fire comparison right away.

They've been on my radar for quite some time now and that album sure didn't disappoint, imho.

http://thewolfweb.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=543723&page=8#12629029

there it is from February -- my exact comparison was, "David Byrne singing lead for Arcade Fire" lol (3rd post about them)

seems that dinosaur, jr and mars volta are no longer available. little help?

6/12/2009 8:13:34 PM

I still love that Fanfarlo album; one of my favorites of the year so far.

How the shit has the Regina Spektor album not leaked? The thing is out in two weeks and promo copies are everywhere. From the few songs I have heard and the preview clips on Amazon, I think it could be pretty great.

6/12/2009 8:14:00 PM

here's the Dino Jr.

I know right.

6/12/2009 9:14:05 PM

what do you guys think about the new sonic youth album?

6/12/2009 10:29:44 PM

I like it a lot.

6/12/2009 10:43:17 PM

Wow, Ganglians is so good that I don't care that it sounds like a cover album.

6/12/2009 10:52:00 PM

that Fanfarlo record is really fucking boring

and the dinosaur jr album was alright, but it just sounded like run of the mill album from them. not a bad thing, but i don't need to listen to it again

here's the Regina Spektor EP http://rapidshare.com/files/243794419/RS_LW_EP.rar

I keep cutting the damn thing off about halfway through -- the only redeeming quality I can find is that it sounds a shit load like Brian Wilson..... only, the lyrics suck.

So far, so meh. I'm giving it some time, though. Just sounds like a blatant Fleet Foxes rip off to me thus far.

oh i believe it

6/14/2009 12:06:50 PM

Is that new Dear Hunter as pretentious and lame as the previous two?

Because there's obviously talent there but I haven't seen it put to use yet.

6/14/2009 1:07:21 PM

I mean the album title is Act III: Life and Death

And this is the cover:



And this is the tracklist:

1. "Writing on a Wall"
2. "In Cauda Venenum"
3. "What It Means to be Alone"
4. "The Tank"
5. "The Poison Woman"
6. "The Thief"
7. "Mustard Gas"
8. "Saved"
9. "He Said He Had a Story"
10. "This Beautiful Life"
11. "Go Get Your Gun"
12. "Son"
13. "Father"
14. "Life and Death"

So, yeah.

[Edited on June 14, 2009 at 1:42 PM. Reason : According to lead vocalist Casey Crescenzo, it is the third part of a six-act story. lolol]

6/14/2009 1:41:10 PM

i don't really see what's pretentious about it. whether it's lame or not is certainly up to your personal taste, but i just don't get how it's pretentious. the guy is incredibly humble, i was able to talk to him for awhile after a show in greensboro.

here is the first review of act 3 i was able to find:

Quote :

"Act III - Life and Death has been my most anticipated album of 2009 (yup...beating out IWRESTLEDABEARONCE). The music Casey Crescenzo is able to create is fantastic, and has yet to fail to write something amazing; although Act III has a very different feel to it (which I believe was intended). I finally get my hands on The Dear Hunter's new album, and get to reconnect with 'The Boy' and follow him on his adventures through Act III. Album art is pretty good. Similar to Closure in Moscow's newest album. As always the tree is up there. I'm not 100% sure the reasoning behind the tree but I love how all of the album arts have been (and will be) focused on it. Running almost 57 minutes Act III is still 20 minutes shorter than Act II's epic 1 hour 17 minute run time. Although Act III ends up with more overall tracks with 18, whereas Act II has 15. Casey continues to take full advantage of dozens of instruments, consistently giving a very "musical" sense to the album (musical as in...a musical play...you know). Creating epic crescendos using strings, piano and well executed gang vocals. The composition is fantastic creating an exciting yet brooding mood throughout the album. This album, unlike Act II, is more 'serious' so to speak. The last act dealt with the boy searching for information on his mother and eventually falling in love; whereas this Act seems to focus on the transition the boy experience from being innocent to sinful. The music expertly represents transformation, so even if you aren't following the narrative you can sense that something is constantly changing for the worse. The melody is much darker than the previous records. The narrative is as well crafted as can be. In "He Said He Had A Story" the boy sings about an experience he had with a prostitute. As she says "Please, be soft and sweet to me. This life has not been good you see" in which Casey sings "I broke her smile, reminding her I paid her well!". "The Tank" sounds like a well-oiled war machine, chugging along. "The heavier parts are heavier and the softer parts are more serene." Casey says about his latest masterpiece, and he is right on the mark. Act III meets all of my expectations, and it is very noticeable that Casey and crew are continuing to grow and out-preform themselves with each new album. I am so excited that this is only Act III of a six act rock opera, which means there are at least 3 more Acts we can all be excited about. Check it out, pre-order the new album, and try to catch them on tour this summer 4/5"

also i'm definitely digging the new mars volta.

6/14/2009 3:11:05 PM

That review is totally epic. The epic nature of the epic album really comes to the forefront in such an epic review. Epic.

6/14/2009 3:35:22 PM

it's like tolstoy meets schulz!

6/14/2009 3:50:53 PM

@dear hunter

i, too could attempt to outdo sufjan stevens if i had a ton of friends with instruments but you would have to pay me a lot--it would be painfully boring.

6/14/2009 8:19:55 PM

i kinda like that Nosaj Thing - Drift a couple posts up

that second song sounds like a zelda 1 dungeon remix

6/15/2009 9:06:22 AM

I wasnt a big fan of Act I, but I have to admit that there was a lot of cool stuff going on in Act II. Certainly some stuff I didn't like as well, but there were a lot of good songs on the disc so I will at least be checking out the third album.

someone please buy me the $500 dollar Pixies box set plz

6/15/2009 5:40:04 PM

Yeah I would suggest giving act III a try even if you don't like act I or act II just because it does have a slightly different feel to it. I can't guarantee that vinyl would like it, and if I had to guess I'd say he probably won't. But, I think it's at least different enough to be worth trying.

I just love all the stuff he puts together into a song, lyrically and musically. Especially musically. So many instruments and musical styles blended together.
