Nine Inch Nails – Not the Actual Events

Would post this without listening to a single note. But, listened to this once so far. And now I need it to rest for a day and start listening again after. What I can say now is that it’s really diverse, and awesome, unexpectedly oldschool but not just that but lifespanning. Runs through the entire NIN catalogue’s moods and sounds and atmosphere in five tracks, and builds upon it to travel further. (Alright, not the entire NIN catalogue, but you know, the good records, the proper ones.)

Favorite track after first listen is probably The Idea of You with the most dragging industrial beat.

Dead Pirates – Highmare

Getting to posting this one at last, too, but I needed to listen to it many times to properly digest what I hear. I consider the Malevolent Melody EP as the first Dead Pirates record, so counting from there this is the fourth output and the first proper long player album. And this has been quite a journey in terms of music. The tunes changed and evolved and matured in a serious way. I love where this whole project ended up, it is so… grown. Like a man not with a beard but the understanding that is not at all about the beard.

Coves – Peel

This one has been sitting in my “play later” list for quite some time. I like it a lot, listened to it several times, but couldn’t put it in a specific drawer in my mind. Now I read a review of the album where it was said to be similar to Garbage and that is a fair point. Although this is how Garbage could sound in 2016, so that’s good, too. I so rarely listen to music nowadays, which could be labelled as classic and simple alternative rock. This is one of those.
