Most of what I listen to is prog rock or jazz, but one of my all-time favorite bands is the Swedish indie rock outfit Tiger Lou. I'm not sure how I found them as I live in the U.S. and they don't really have a presence here, and I think they have some textures that rub up against some prog. Nevertheless, they have come out with a new album on Friday called "The Wound Dresser" that's very good, I'd give it 4 to 4.5 out of 5, but I'm still listening...
Their previous album, "A Partial Print", is in my top five favorite albums of all time, while every other album in my top five is soundly prog. There is something, particularly about this album, that really reels me in. I highly suggest all on this board give it a listen. I think there's something very special about it. All of their music is available on Spotify.

Steve Vai - Fire Garden - One of the best prog albums of the 90's. One of the few albums that still fires me up the same way it did when I was 13; that's more than can be said for a lot of the stuff I fawned over in middle school. "There's A Fire In The House" is still one of the most incendiary intros to any album in rock. It simply shreds. "The Crying Machine" and "Blowfish" are still phenomenal air guitar songs. "Dyin' Day" and "Hand on Heart" are both gorgeous. And the title track..."Angel Food" is the best instrumental duel put to record and "Taurus Bulba" is Yes-levels of perfection. If only it wasn't for the very forgettable hard rock/metal vocal tracks on the second half of the disc, then this would be a total masterpiece. That's excluding "All About Eve" and "Genocide", of course. The latter is the catchiest thing Steve has ever touched.
Joe Satriani - Professor Satchafunkilas & The Musterion Of Rock - The post-"Engines of Creation" Satriani albums all sort of sound the same, but at least they all sound good. There are some really imaginative rock riffs to be heard here. "Overdriver" is one of the finest hard rock songs he's done since the 90's and the futuristic world-y sound in "Andalusia" and "Asik Veysel" is to die for. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back My Bullets - Easily the weakest of the REAL Skynyrd albums (you got that right, JVZ), but still miles ahead of anything skynyrd-lite attempted after the plane crash. "Roll Gypsy Roll" and "All I Can Do Is Write About It" are classics. Not a fan of the version of "Trust" they recorded for this album; I always substitute in the 1970 Muscle Shoals demo. The song sounds much better played a semitone down, the album version sounds too bright and upbeat for the subject matter. Genesis - A Trick of The Tail - I've been planning on writing reviews for this one and the one that followed it for a while but I always like to revisit albums multiple times over a long span of time before I post anything. Right now I'm leaning towards a 2-3 for this one, on the higher end of that. Some inoffensive poppy-crossover-AOR prog-lite, whatever you want to call it with some beautiful moments ("Entangled" and "Ripples" are standouts for me), but the whole thing sounds really repetitive and one-dimensional for over 50 minutes of music. Genesis - Wind & Wuthering - See above, only this one leans closer to the 2 than the 3. The entire first side is quite stale, sounding a lot more like one of the dime-a-dozen amateur symphonic one-offs from around the same time period. Pretty disappointing given what the band used to be capable of. From "Blood On The Rooftops" onward it's a lot more memorable, though.

It's just over an hour long on the version I've listened to (recorded at Berlin Philharmonic in 1988). It does feel pretty long, though. The music is very stretched, slowly evolving... very proud and phlegmatic. And I love it because of that. I highly recommend you listen to it and find out yourself!  |

..... like all of it? That's a pretty long piece if I recall correctly, although I've never listened to it myself.

^ you got it, Audun. I put ice cream over cake anyway. ;)
And just ghosts for you in the NIN catalog??! Such a sin!  Seriously though. Try out the 'girl with the dragon tattoo' soundtrack. Reznor and Atticus Ross are up to their usual tricks on that one. I have the 3 disc edition. It's amazing and I know you'll enjoy it. :) Yesterday and today. DTP-- Transcendence. ( finally have this album! And I love it! higher! Higher higher higher! ;) Damian Wilson-- Cosmas ( can't wait for his new one out this month!) Genesis-- Duke ( deadly 5.1 mix) The tea Party-- live in Australia ( 2012 reformation tour) Threshold-- March In Progress Fallujah-- Dreamless The mission-- Silver (2008 live at the sheppards Busch arena) Devin Townsend project-- Epica ( both discs) |

Missed this before. That's all my TD albums  (have to get some more eventually though, really enjoying the four I have), and the only NIN album I can get into, I'm sad to report  (I know how much you love them, Nick).
Yeah, there's a couple of tracks on side 4 of PG I can do without as well ("Boogie with Stu" and "Black Country Woman"), but the rest of it I like. I have more problems with "Kashmir" myself.  
 A top 2 album from last year for me (no two-puns intended, believe it or not ). The enhanced Nordic folk touches here, contra their debut, makes this a truly emotional album for me (love that Nordic folk stuff).Last few days for me: Bushman's Revenge - Jitterbug (Allthough this has Stĺle Storlřkken as guest on a couple of tracks, the rockier sound here makes it a slight disappointment after the excellent "You Lost Me at Hello". For those interested in this band it's still worth checking out though, as it has a few very good tracks.) Box - Studio 1 (A much more satisfying and adventurous Storlřkken album.) Elephant9 with Reine Fiske - Silver Mountain (Same as above. E9's best, imo.) Bushman's Revenge - A Little Bit of Big Bonanza Grand General - s/t Bushman's Revenge - Electric Komle - Live! Bushman's Revenge - Thou Shalt Boogie! Bushman's Revenge - Bushman's Fire Mřster! - When You Cut Into the Present Krokofant - s/t II Bushman's Revenge - Jazz, fritt etter hukommelsen (They performed a lot from this one at their excellent concert last night, man these guys play thight! Really starting to warm up to this album. They're in full "feel" jazz mode on this one, something they've only touched upon with a track or two here and there on previous albums.)

I listened to Different Creatures back when I ordered it but I needed to refresh my memory. The second listen was better than the first. Definitely check out the Agusa album. I also like Katarsis (live) that came out last month.
