 | Speak Squeak Creak by Melt-Banana
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £20.95 Most of Melt-Banana's music is unlike anything else but their debut has the most amount of raw energy to it. They put on one intense live show too!
|
 | Plague Soundscapes by The Locust
Buy new: £8.79 / Used from: £3.56 Cant stop listening to this, by far their most accomplished album. Very unusual sound to it, very hyper and generally warped which also comes across very well live.
|
 | Stag by Melvins
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £1.99 Very experimental album, even by Melvin's standards. This album has it all, you generally dont know what direction it might take, full of suprises, especially 'Goggles', scared the hell outa me!
|
 | Washing Machine by Sonic Youth
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.28 Havn't been into Sonic Youth very long, but they have a really cool noise rock sound. Bit of an unorthodox guitar sound which makes this album really interesting and full of little hooks.
|
 | Grand Opening and Closing by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £7.53 The soundtrack to childhood nightmares. Alot of odd experimentation, a few Manic 'Metal' parts, some classical bits, home-made instruments and electric violin thrown into the mix. Great album.
|
 | Obzen by Meshuggah
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £11.41 Killer new album, a few suprises but perfects that massive mechanical Meshuggah sound. The most manic of their recent stuff. A band that never lets down.
|
 | Bul Bul 6 by Bul Bul
Buy new: £14.19 / Used from: £11.23 Not generally that well known band from Austria. Great Bass riffs, bit like Primus in a way. Jerks around all over the place and has all kinds of funny little things thrown in it.
|
 | Onanie Bomb Meets the Sex Pistols by The Boredoms
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £9.00 Literally sounds like a few angry Japanese men yelling and smashing up musical equipment, i'm not too sure how much else there is to it but there is definately some kind of musicianship there.
|
 | Black One by Sunn 0)))
Buy new: £14.19 / Used from: £10.13 Music that sounds like the earth is being torn apart at the seams. None of my friends like it at all, no drums, painfully slow drone metal. Rewarding stuff though if you listen to the album as a whole
|
 | Milk Man by Deerhoof
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £5.99 Almost uneasy listening because it's so happy and childlike inthe way it sounds. Some great tunes, fair bit of an experimental approach to the songwriting. Great cover art too :)
|
 | Canada Songs by Daughters
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £4.74 All over the place, insane, mental, stupid. I'm not really sure how else to describe it. Its either a great album or just irritating depending on what mood you're in. not sure.
|
 | Whole Tooth&Nothingbut The Tooth by Holy Molar
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £5.93 Much the same as The Locust (I think they share 3 of the same members). Interesting sound though, and it comes on two 3" CDs in a tiny fold out paper thing which is kinda fun.
|
 | OSC DIS by Mad Capsule Markets
Buy used from: £0.98 I know it conjours up a few embaressing memories from the all too thakfully dead Nu-Metal scene, but this album somehow retains a bit of an energetic feel good vibe to it.
|
 | Draft 7.30 by Autechre
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.28 I'm hardly an expert on electronic music but Draft 7.30 is an album i love. not too sure what to say about it apart from the fact that its damn good.
|
 | The Sun Behind The Dustbin by BEEHOOVER
Buy new: £14.19 / Used from: £6.52 Two man band, Drums and Bass. Pretty catchy riffs, nice crunchy heavy sound, just pretty damn good. Im not a fan of acoustic tunes but theres a few really great ones on there too.
|
 | Centralia by Car Bomb
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £7.46 Riffs made completely out of unorthodox guitar techniques, alot of harmonics, sounds a bit like: 'Chuggachugga...CHUG...Neeeeeiiiiooww Buzzz' rhythms that defy all logic, its manic!
|
 | Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree
Buy new: £6.98 I confess I've only just got hold of this album, Very big sound, crossover between mellow bits and heavier sections. Just works excellently as an album.
|
 | KARMA BLOODY KARMA by Cattle Decapitation
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £7.46 Very very brutal, Travis Ryan is definatelty one of te best Metal/Grind vocalists around, just sounds gruesome but with some great warped melodies and rhythm.
|
 | Diatribes by Napalm Death
Buy used from: £5.95 Not really regarded as one of Napalm's finest but i like it alot. Has more of an almost bouncy hardcore punk sound compared to some of their music, still very heavy though
|
 | Suicide Pact: You First by Therapy?
Buy used from: £3.65 I'm pretty sure Andy Cairns wasn't much of a happy bunny when they recorded this. More of a Noise-rock album i guess. The darkest, most grimy thing they've recorded which i for one quite like.
