Best prog/hard rocking album for me was The Mars Volta's Frances The Mute. A lot of jaw-dropping intense moments on this one. Prog is not dead.
The New Pornographers' Twin Cinema is one of the best pop-rock records in recent memory, IMO. Great songs inventively produced and played. If you think modern rock has lost its sense of melody, you need to check this bunch out.
Biggest surprise was Ta Det Lugnt by the band Dungen. Lo-fi Psychedelic rock sung in Swedish. I couldn't make out a word. It didn't matter.
Speaking of incomprehensibility, I also enjoyed the latest album by The Fall: Fall Heads Roll. On first listen, this will sound like some guy ranting and muttering over steady riffing and odd sounds. Second and third listens, too, since that's exactly what this is. But I love it so.

I was perfectly willing to pre-judge him based on his relationship with Ashes, and wasn't going to give him the time of day. Then I discovered he was the one singing this new song that I was loving on the radio, "This Is True."
So, it was off to Amazon to listen to some samples of the rest of his CD, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the samples. So, off to Wal-Mart I went, and purchased the CD. I really enjoyed it. He has a good voice, and the songs were really enjoyable. Alot more mature than I was expecting. I then bought his next CD, and once again loved it.
So, my apologies to Ashlee Simpson. I promise to not pre-judge her next gay boyfriend, and will give him a chance
I dont mind a bit of old Ryan. but no self-respecting Gay Man would have that hair. Plus he's dating one of the Veronicas now so he must be straight (come on...twins girls? straight mans fantasy)
