Don't worry, just skip it, it's crap. That guy's got a horrible whiny voice and his songs and arrangements are as cliched as they come. 3/10
Listen to 1000 albums.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

Here is a few quick comments on the ones I have listened to:
Apart from a couple of duff tracks I like almost all of this - I already knew the track 'Me, Myself and My Microphone' from the Judgment Night soundtrack but never heard anything else from them. Heavy yet funky - I like the energy.
8/10
Know the band well but hadnt heard this new album - was decent enough but didn't really stand out from their other offerings on first listen. Will be giving it a few more listens though.
6.5/10
Saw them doing a support slot to Orbital last year and had never heard of them at the time but they seem to have got a fair bit of press this year. Wasn't that impressed last year and still not particularly impressed now - average indie band with a bit of electronics thrown in.

Yea I watched that and his song "Gimme a call". feck his voice is annoying as hell "Gimme a call, you've got a phone don't you, turn it on I need to hear from you".
I remember wanting to break the phone over his head so I'd never have to hear that whiny squeak again. Sorry man but if I listen to him I'll probably have to murder some one.
You obviously made it through more than the 7 seconds it took me to kill it.
I actually remember it from the tv show. I don't think I could ever forgot something that made me so angry.yeah lads ill try to get a mod to lock it for a few days, just in case people havent read the last few posts.
But if you lock it then I am not going to be able to give you my pearls of wisdom on the albums !
Bet you wish you never started this now! Anyway it was a good idea, just needs a bit of structure to make it really worthwhile.

Structure indeed, i may go for a new thread each month, keep it tidier, oh and on the side of linking each album in the OP, i had intended that after someone else suggested, but im swamped at the moment, if anyone else enjoys doing that sort of thing work away and ill paste it in.
Just sticking my head in here to say great shout on the Black Keys album, whoever that was, its a fantastic, easy listen.
yeah, its been my favourite so far, credit to philipb456473543630537
Tried the Little Dragon album before and wasn't all that impressed. It was alright, but all a bit average, nothing really stood out for me on there at all. I could happily have it on in the background for a bit, but definitely can't hold my attention.
I wish I never put the numbers in my name 
I have missed a few of these albums since I was away for a week. Is there anyone that is a definite should listen to that's been posted in the last week?

I'm finding Nick Drake quite boring but maybe I'm not in the right mood for it. I need some hard rock I think.
fecking hell, thanks decorativeed!
I had this page loaded from half an hour ago and was literally about to try do that list decorativeed, I'm so very glad I refreshed the page first!
Anyway, gave Israel Kamakawiwo'ole a listen, a really lovely album. While I don't think anything quite matches the beauty of the track most will already know, Over the Rainbow, it's still a really nice listen. Great stuff.

There's been nothing like that posted this week though.
A few months back I made a massive list of United players who had scored on their debuts as per someone's request. Took me an hour. When I posted it I realised someone had done it about 5 minutes after it was requested! Always refresh - a sound piece of advice if ever there was one.
I have got an awesome album for everyone to get their teeth into. It's basically like a three hour Wagner opera crammed and condensed into fifty minutes of black metal sensory overload. I'll post some tracks tomorrow morning as we're on a break.
The Nick Drake is a fine album although I prefer Bryter Layter.
Great stuff mate, appreciate that as I've really fallen behind. Will try and catch up next week, this weekend is going to be hectic what with going to see ray davies, van morrison and bob dylan
Album 29..Negură Bunget -'N Crugu Bradului
This is a concept album from a Romanian band who since the early 00s have been making some of the most beautiful, intense music i've ever heard. The title translates as "Through the Deepness of the Fir Tree Heights"
It's four tracks represent the four seasons.
Obviously Black Metal is a genre most people just aint gonna like but surely out of 1000 albums there is room for at least one.I can't be bothered with Spotify so here are it's LastFM page and a couple of Youtube links.

I just gave Tommy Reilly a listen. Really really didn't like that at all. It's normally the sort of thing I would enjoy, but his voice is horrible at times, I mean really bad. Won't be listening again.
Negura Bunget are awesome, great choice Nearco.
I heartly disagree. Don't understand a genre of music where every record sounds exactly the same.
No love for Black Metal? In fairness, they arent a stereotypical Darkthrone/Burzum/Mayhem clone. Give them a go, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised
I have done. I wasn't. I used to work in a stockroom with three people who were into this stuff and I know I'll sound like an old man here, but I could not tell the difference between the bands or records they put on save for the fact that some had synths, some even had an orchestra, others didn't. Otherwise it was the same song over and over.
Darkthrone, Burzum and Mayhem all sound very different from each others.
They do, but I suppose you need to be familiar with the genre before that becomes obvious. On second thoughts I don't see how anyone couldn't tell the difference between say Transilvanian Hunger and De Mysteriis..... Radically different in every way.
I didnt mean that those bands all sound the same, what I meant is the success and popularity of those bands ends up spawning clones, which Negura Bunget are not.
Not really a fan of Black Metal. I like the odd Bathory song.
And then you compare those to Filosofem and Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, a different thing all together. But as you say, and as with every genre, you have to be familiar with it to hear the music properly.

What part of "three day break" are you lot finding so hard to grasp? FFS.
Great album though!
One of the top 20 of all-time. Immense record.
Good album but I prefer Agaetis byrjun.
Same here, and prefer ( ) to Takk too. Still a lovely album, but not my favourite of Sigur Ros's.
