I just swung by my trusty Encore Records to pick up the new Parquet Courts album. I debated getting the vinyl, but at 32 bucks new I decided to stick to just the CD at half the price. I wasn't too big on their last album, but I downloaded this new one and I liked what I herd. Their first album still rips.
I rotated out some albums from The Brid. These two new albums are gonzo, and I am not sure if they will be back in that 6 CD changer anytime soon. The new Modest Mouse was a HUGE let down. Maybe 3 songs that I really like, and the rest gave me a thumb skipping workout. The new Parquet Courts is pretty underwhelming too. I love their first album, and the second one was just ok. This one is gonna collect dust for the next couple of years.
Also, that Glass Boys album pictured below, that too was a big let down. Thankfully Built to Spill and Faith No More have put out fucking awesome albums this year.
