The new Propaghandi album is pretty solid. Really strong album for them, but not their best IMO.

I didn't even know they had one. You just made my Friday.

Just curious, what's your favorite album of theirs.

So, get to see Jack White a couple days when I get back from vacation. I am totally stoked. I'm a little bummed I didn't get a chance to pick up Avett Brothers tickets (they sold out and its not even a month away yet), but whatever. The fall is shaping up to be a pretty nice concert season around here.

I'm a big fan of Less Talk, More Rock, and Today's Empire, Tomorrow's Ashes. Those are the two that bring the best memories of them.

See, I don't think those albums (especially Less Talk, More Rock/How to Clean Everything) have aged well at all. I used to love Less Talk, More Rock, but it's just one of those things where I just kind of got over a lot of the angst that album brought out. Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes definitely has some great songs, but as an overall album, it's very 'meh' to me. It's kind of weird because I love the songwriting John K. Samson does with The Weakerthans, but after he left Propagandhi they got progressively better.

This band has really grown and come together nicely over the last couple albums, and I am very excited to give the new one a listen in a couple hours here.

Less Talk just brings back great memories for me. Those were my high school/college years, and that's when I was really going to shows, and having a blast.

I never really listened to the Weakerthans, but I know I need to.

Same here, I bet we're about the same age.

Anyway, The Weakerthans are a completely different band. More straight alternative rock with some pop-punkish stuff in some songs. And great lyrics.

I just looked at my iTunes, and saw one Weakerthans song, from a Punk-o-rama compilation. It's pretty solid. I really should look into them.

speaking of political punk rock, NOFX's new album leaked today. The Decline is still one of the best punk songs I've ever heard

Re: Official Rock music thread

Anybody heard of Dikes of Holland? They're from Texas. They're a punk band along the lines of Ramones, X, and The Cramps. Pretty good from what I heard when I saw them open for Black Joe Lewis on Monday night.

Ben Folds Five has a new album out next week. First album as a group since 1999, instead of just Ben Folds solo.

Re: Official Rock music thread

new Green Day album leaked. Better than 21st Century Breakdown. Some of it sounds like classic Green Day.
