Matt Skiba and The Sekrets - Babylon

Amazing

Owen - I do perceive.

Always been a big Owen fan, but never bothered with his whole catalog as much as I should have; figured I'd give this a listen. Overall, great album, though below what I've come to expect from this Kinsella (At Home With Owen being the golden standard). Still, expectedly with its amazing tracks, most notably the opener. Will definitely be revisiting, but I'd give it a preliminary score of
6/10 or so

Definitely my favorite Animal Collective album. Very creative and experimental, and Avery Tare's screams are just bone chilling. For Reverend Green is still the best song this band has ever written.

Have you heard the new songs yet?? Highly recommended if you haven't

I wasn't that fussed on it. It was better than This Addiction, but it was extremely similar to Alkaline Trio, that I didn't really see the point in making it as a side project. I'd have liked to see Skiba take himself out of his comfort zone, we know he can make dark, catchy poppy punk and this album didn't change anything. I'd have preferred him to have saved the best tracks from this and used them as the base for an Alkaline Trio album, as there was nothing on that album that couldn't have been an Alkaline Trio song.

Last night I spun this record. I just love everything about this record. I love all the character in the singer's voice and how the sloppy instrumentals make it feel like the music could collapse on itself at any moment. There are some super catchy songs on here that show that with the right representation this band could had been huge.

I listened to one of them last night before I went to bed and I liked it, but I don't remember which one it was. Gonna listen to both later

Seriously love this band, I remember talking to them a bunch when they only had a demo version of "Sweet Talk" and "Run In The Front" on their MySpace back in the day, was so pleased to see them get a couple of albums out, much prefer the debut though.

I still really love Drunk Like Bible Times, the production on it was really great and somehow they managed to write an incredibly catchy song about domestic abuse.

Yeah that's definitely my favourite tack on the album along with "I Know".

I would had loved to have at least one more record from them.

I love these two, but So Jealous is so much better than this album. It's an incredible step up. That said, this is a big step up from This Business Of Art, but there are a few dud songs and forgettable moments, such as City Girl. When they get it right, there are songs on this album that are just as good as anything they've ever written, like Monday Monday Monday or Living Room. I'm a big fanboy, so I love pretty much all of it, just because it's one of those records where you can really track their growth as songwriters, from the mediocre on This Business Of Art to the sublime on So Jealous and all that followed after. If It was You falls slap bang in the middle. It's rarely sublime, but it's frequently better than mediocre.

Yeah you really wouldn't think they had a masterpiece like So Jealous in them hearing this, as solid as it is.

One of the best pop-rock EPs I've heard all year. Satan is way too fucking contagious, have been singing it the last three days. Plus JB from Bright and Early is on it.

Simply put, it's difficult for me to imagine a better doom album than this; for me it's the epitome of everything fantastic about metal in general, even though it's a genre I'm not as well versed in as others, 9.5/10 in my book.
