What The Hell Am I Listening To?!?

Porcupine Tree : Fear Of A Blank Planet

Porcupine Tree is a band I’ve only gotten into over the last year and i am really starting to love them. I’ve been listening to this new album over and over again. A really great concept album with some mind-blowing music, especially the almost 18-minute long Anesthetize. Pick this album up:

Dinosaur Jr : Beyond

I’m not sure why I had slightly lower expectations from this album, especially considering I’ve loved J Mascis‘ and Lou Barlow‘s respective recent solo work. Beyond is everything a Dinosaur Jr fan could hope for. They are in top form and every song on this rocks out. Check it:

Two tracks from the new album, although ‘The Pills I’m Taking’ may be a name for a subsection of one of the longer tracks (my copy hasn’t arrived in the post yet).
