Nah, I enjoy Waaves's last album, which is what you might be thinking of.

Dalen, you should give it some time. It is far more interesting then the first album. Each song is more distinctive rather than the same song written over again with different pacing like the first album imo. But, I get your point "?" in that it is more crafted, but an improvement.

Hey Dale

new OFF record.

http://rapidgator.net/file/9054693/www. ... OFF!_(2012).RAR.html

2012 album from the Irish singer/songwriter and former Energy Orchard main man. The album was produced by Rock legend Mark Knopfler. Knopfler adds his distinctive guitar alongside other luminaries such as Jerry Douglas, Michael McGoldrick and John McCusker on a more folky sounding record.

Review

Lissy Trullie's 2012 eponymous sophomore effort finds the singer moving away from the more lo-fi rock of her 2009 debut, Self-Taught Learner, and embracing a slicker, moodier sound. A kind of punk fashion wunderkind on her debut, Trullie, whose cool, deep voice and enigmatic persona once drew comparisons to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O and Patti Smith, here brings to mind the theatrical rock of such artists as Nico with some of the dramatic muscle of '90s alternative icon PJ Harvey. Working with producers John Hill (Rihanna, Kings of Leon, M.I.A.) and TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, Trullie expands upon the melodic and darkly romantic nature of her previous work while also adding more driving post-punk beats and textured '80s goth and college rock guitars, synths, and vocal effects. To these ends, we get the expansive and cinematic opener, "Rules We Obey," the gothy, club-ready "Spit You Out," and the driving "Heart Sound," which sounds like a lost Siouxsie and the Banshees classic. Elsewhere, Trullie amps up the melodic pop on the jangly, '60s-sounding "Caring," evinces the late-'70s dance-punk-meets-reggae of the Clash on "It's Only You, Isn't It?," and keeps things fuzzed-out and anthemic on "X Red." Despite the title, Self-Taught Learner was anything but the work of an amateur, and here Trullie is clearly the queen of her post-punk castle.

Smash Palace “Do It Again”
Brothers Stephen and Brian Butler continue to weave melodic magic with this excellent release. The super catchy jangle of “Living It Lonely” starts us off, then we get the muscular riffs of the Tom Petty-like “It’s Easy.” Another favorite here is “Do It Again,” as Butler recalls the compulsion to rock from his past influences (The Beatles, Stones, CBGB’s) “before the music was all for free.” It’s a desperate plea to bring back what made rock and roll matter to so many lives. His vocal reminds me of Ray Davies – both “21st Century Boy” and “Tell Her Now” sounds like a long lost Kinks tunes.

Talk about infectious – both “She’s Never Coming Back” and “Dreamer” will stick in your head and stay there for good. The chord progressions and organ of “Sympathy Runs Deep” are classic as well. Not a mediocre note here as this album makes my top ten for 2012 list easily. After last year’s “7″ made my 2011 list I didn’t think the band could get better — I was wrong. Highly recommended as essential power pop.

you'd get the not inaccurate idea that this band doesn't take much seriously (besides getting wasted). But one spin of On Mars makes clear that there's one thing these guys hold sacred -- the Ramones. Thousands of bands have tried to follow the template of the brothers from Forest Hills, but Mean Jeans not only bash their guitars and write hooky but skeletal melodies much like the Ramones, lead singer Billy Jeans even tries to replicate the Noo Yawk twang of Joey Ramone's vocals (with various degrees of success), while drummer Jeans Wilder occasionally makes with scrappy harmony vocals not unlike Dee Dee.

And for the record, I would never jimmyperkins you guys .
