Here are a few things I've been playing:
Depeche Mode -- Spirit
I'd say this is better than I expected. It sounds like Depeche Mode...Dave Gahan's voice is spectacular. Yeah, I still miss Alan Wilder, but I'd put Spirit as better than "A Broken Frame" or "Ultra".
Real Estate -- In Mind
Not nearly as strong as their other stuff. I like it, but I don't love it yet. And it's really, really meandering.
Anyone pick up the new Shins LP? Thoughts? I've kind of given up on them.
I need to get the new Jesus and Mary Chain.
