Is the Talib Kweli one as good as the Reflection Eternal stuff and Train of Thought (one of the my favourite hip hop albums)?

First time ive listened to a Talib Kweli album and it was very enjoyable, on a few music forums its had mixed reviews with some people claiming it to be his best work yet and others saying its not as good as previous work.

I have rarely ever heard of any of the music you listen to and that list is no exception!

I'm intrigued though. What would you recommend to a hiphop/Portishead/drumnbass/PinkFloyd/breakbeat/reggae/dub/Radiohead/soul/funk/RayCharles/progressiverock fan?

Not a lot really, I don't listen much hip hop apart from RJD2 and Dj shadows stuff, nor drumnbass.

Of that list 65daysofstatic and Caspian are post rock / instrumental bands which is the nearest thing to progressive (or experimental) rock. I reckon you'd like 65daysofstatic's first album (The Fall of Math) as their is a hint of drumnbass in there as well :thumbup:

And as a Radiohead fan, try and have a listen to any of Elliott Smith's albums that were released upto XO :thumbup:

And you call yourself a Wombats fan.

You heard the album?

Huge disppointment IMO having heard the majority of songs before the album was released most of them were remixed and made much worse!

I am a big Wombats fan and still listen to their songs often but I felt their album was a big letdown.

Get on MSN and get Joe to send you the good ones.

1. The Cribs - Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever Just the best songs I've heard all year. Every song on the album is as catchy as hell and I never get sick of listening to it.

2. Good Shoes - Think Before You Speak See above, just slightly less so and maybe one or two fillers. Still fantastic album that will always have a place in my heart for the great times I've had seeing them live this year.

3. Radiohead - In Rainbows My favourite album they've ever done.

4. Future of the Left - Curses Almost like Mclusky are back. Almost.

5. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver Even better than his debut, somehow.

6. Tokyo Police Club - A Lesson in Crime Brilliantly catchy.

7. Shy Child - Noise Won't Stop Thrilling music that takes the tired 1980s throwback indie start-stop formula and gives it a totally fresh twist.

8. Stateless - Stateless Beautiful album.

9. Metric - Grow Up And Blow Away Just love her voice and again catchy songs.

10. Art Brut - It's A Bit Complicated F**king funny and one of the most underrated bands in the country.

Porcupine Tree, Tool and to a lesser extent Dream Theater, Coheed & Cambria if you're into PF and progrock. Especially PT are very influenced by Pink Floyd and are British on top of that :P
