(music related) what music (if any) are you listening to at the moment?

* Morning jacket's new album is not good. I could not finish it on Rhapsody (yes, I do legal music). I don't really think they play their instruments very well, and they sound like they are wailing.

When I read this, I didn't want to believe it, but man... it's TERRIBAD. I think they are fine instrumentalists, but, the songwriting on this album is just really lack luster, very un-MMJ like. Makes me sad as I was really looking forward to this one. Damn.

okay bit of a weird one here does anybody else like listening to soviet Russian music? disclaimer I'm aware soviet Russia was a horrible mess of a country but holy shit balls did they make some dam good music

I've been meaning to listen to some Profokiev and Shostakovich for a while now, not to mention some of the early futurist stuff they had going on before Stalin Stalined the place up, but still not got around to it. Any suggestions?

i don't know why this thread died but id like to revive by saying that I recently purchased an album from a band glory hammer called 1992 rise of the chaos wizards its lovably fantastic and has made me decide to do a bit of branching into other genres  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkRl84KdHcU

Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards is one of the greatest album titles of all time (and fits the music perfectly)! I never really got into that style of music though, not too sure why.

Currently listening to Gonjasufi, more generally been getting into Broadcast in a big way.

Haha that's awesome. Recently I've been listening to Gloryhammer too! Power metal taken to the next level (over 9k). Gloryhammer is what happens when a dungeons and dragons session gets out of hard. Nerd metal should I say. I actually did my new record (3222m (~2 miles)) in the Cooper test (basically run as far as you can in 12 minutes) while listening to Gloryhammer.
Playlist:
1. Universe On Fire
2. Angus McFife
3. The unicorn invasion of Dundee
Imo the top 3 tracks from Gloryhammer and they also conviniently add up to 12 minutes 2 seconds which is perfect for the Cooper test. It's the power, cheesyness and the high BPM that make these tracks excellent for running. While running at 16,5 km/h (~10,3 mph) the beat goes pretty much hand in hand with steps. I've managed to condition myself to get really pumped up whenever I listen to any of those 3 tracks. Got to listen to them sparingly.

Holy Knights and Dragon Force also have some pretty good nerd metal
Holy Knights - Love Against the Power of Evil
Holy Knights - Gate Through the Past
DragonForce - Storming the Burning Fields
DragonForce - Three Hammers

More stuff
Metal
Iron Fire - Blacksmith of Thunder (Bonus Track)
Stratovarius - Eagleheart
Edguy - We Don't Need a Hero
Exumer - I Dare You
Abominable Putridity - Wormhole Inversion

Rock
Gotthard - Dirty Devil Rock
Dare - Abandon
Billy Talent - Afraid Of Heights
Nickelback - When We Stand Together
Brother Firetribe - Devil's Daughter

^^I've moved from listening to electronic music to listening to metal, rock, alternative etc almost completely.

I usually listen to  my music of the internet(mainly because finding their albums to buy were I live tends to be a bit difficult and ordering them of the internet is risky) if I like an album enough though I will purchase it.
I also wish I could cut out lyrics out of songs at will because I lot of the time I find that their either 1 annoying 2 i have no idea what their even saying or 3 although this is pretty much regulated to the metal genera that they do that weird thing were they sound like there snarling/have throat cancer which I really hate.
usually I like the instrumental enough to get past those issues though
I typically like to listen to music while playing ccgs since I like to be doing SOMETHING while I'm listening to music.

also here's some more albums 1 of which I don't really listen to any more but I used to adore flesh god apocalypse king https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ9nd7zm1MA stupid name but bloody good album even with the raspy bullshit going

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruXGlNr-K30 holy grail times of pride and peril for once I really dig the vocals of this the singer sound fantastic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwN8NLE9sEw tyr the lay of thrym bloody good album as far as I'm concerned its my personal favourite and i realy need to re favourite this album and listen to it some time.

Seems like a good place to big up this beautiful classical piece by an underrated composer:

recently I've been watching a lets play of Alice madness returns and it prompted me to hunt down the soundtrack to its ancestor American McGee's Alice   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84qSgfweDnA&index=1&list=PLE6593A6F00DB9E4B
I particularly love the red queens theme.
