I bought a stereo system with a record player and CD converter last spring, so a lot of my vinyls have gotten their first listens in over 10 years or probably more.

There's a certain chunk of my collection I haven't heard at all.

A good choice, allthough I disagree with Chris calling "Let Them Eat Cake" - "It's A Love Cult" their jazz phase. More like pop/crossover, IMO. I hear a little bit of jazziness in those albums, but yeah.  It's certainly Eclectic, that's for sure. Oh yes, there is definitely some jazz in there, but I firstly think of that era as more popish, mellower, than anything else they've done, that I've heard. No matter what it's called, jazz-era or pop-era, they changed their style, that's for sure!   What did you think of Phanerothyme, btw? And how is The Death Defying Unicorn? I've yet to hear that one (amongst others).

I got the Death Defying Unicorn last September, so I've had it for a while.  However, at the same time, I also acquired The Swans' "Seer" album (a huge deal for me), so it kind of monopolized my attention at the expense of the Motorpsycho album.  I'm still not head-over-heels in love with it, but I admire and enjoy it enough for it to be ranked very highly (#4 I think) on my Best of 2012.   Phanerothyme struck me as a lot more tuneful and fun, which I appreciate.  And several songs went in areas that made me think "whoa, how did the song get here?".   So I liked it, probably at least as much as the Unicorn one.  And that was just streaming.  But I went ahead and purchased a download for "Heavy Metal Fruit", and though I haven't finished that one yet, I think I like it the best of the three.  Very heavy and quite psychedelic, not quite as dense as Unicorn but not quite as whimsical as Phanerothyme.  Of course, this is all just initial impressions.

Scott, I was about to say, is your collection marathon taking so long, that the first albums you started with have now not been listened to in years? 

I guess that it is about time that I put my Christmas decorations away.  Time to come up with a new avatar.  Hmmm.

Does anybody listened new Muse album?

And now, I am.

Ah yes, summer! I can barely remember what that's like. It's been pretty cold here the last week or so. I wish spring was here right now, but we'll probably have about three more months of winter (as in snow on the ground) here

I like it.  It is like their other albums in they remind me of a cross between Queen and U2 with a large dose of Coldplay.  They've added dubstep to a couple of songs to keep up with the trends.
