Have to admit I have not checked out the new foo fighters record but I will now that I see it’s on a couple of people’s lists

Liam Gallagher - As You Were
The Jesus And Mary Chain - Damage And Joy
Roger Waters - Is This The Life...
Mike Oldfield - Return To Ommadawn
Spoon - Hot Thoughts

Have to admit I have not jerked out the new foo fighters record but I will now that I see it’s on a couple of people’s lists

no. don't jerk out to it.

it's not good. it's just forgettable imo. i just listed every single album i've heard, some of those i dont remember but i have them in my itunes.

oh right i heard Liam's album too. that's the problem with spotify etc. i don't remember half of what i listen to if its just streaming. if i own it? or get it off itunes <to a lesser extent> i won't forget it.

3. Sleep Well Beast - The National
4. Colors - Beck
5. Crack-Up - Fleet Foxes
6. Heartworms - The Shins

The only true disappointment for me so far has been the new Foo Fighters. It's the most bland and forgettable thing they've ever done, coupled with horrible production and poor lyrics. I also passed up the new Arcade Fire, as every song I heard from it left me totally underwhelmed. Can't win them all, I suppose. Here's hoping U2 ends the year on a high note.

Liam Gallagher - As You Were
The Jesus And Mary Chain - Damage And Joy
Roger Waters - Is This The Life...
Mike Oldfield - Return To Ommadawn
Spoon - Hot Thoughts

Hold the phone...!
Jesus and Mary Chain have a new album out?
Where the hell have I been?

Thanks!
THIS is exactly why I miss the boat on newer artists.  I'm such a 70's/80's gal (with some exception of course) I stay In my happy place and any new material I delve into is from those old artists already in my catalogue. Haha. 
Admittedly, with some disappointment (insert various U2, Morrisey, et al, here)

It is easy to as you put it stay in a safe space - there really is so much great stuff out there from new artists and i personally get a buzz when i find something new i love from a new artist....it's like starting a new relationship, all the excitement, intrigue and desire to find out more....

Still of course get a big buzz when an old flame sets the pulse racing again too!
