"A day of new music for me"

Had a bit of spare cash, so I went to HMV and got some new stuff.

Foxy Brown "Oh Yeah":
What a downright filthy sounding hip-hop track. Bob Marley sample, reggae flavour to it. Fantastic stuff and the CD single is enhanced with the video..my lordy does Ms Brown have it "going on" I believe is the slang.
I can't stop playing this track.
Fantastic groove, samples to die for and is just plain sexy.

Alien Ant Farm "Anthology"
Heard "Movies" on Xfm today and that's a brilliant song.
The album is ok, Micheal Jackson cover that's funny as hell because they're doing it seriously.
Movies is a class tune, if you play bass, get this song and see how good that intstrument can sound.

Stereo-MCs "Deep Down & Dirty"
Waited 9yrs for the follow up to Connected and this does not dissapoint.
The title track is a stunning piece of funky dance.
Catch these guys live if you get the chance, they own.

Tool "Opiate"
Only one of theirs I dont have on CD, but I do now.
Their EP, the 1st thing they released.
Nowhere near as densely layered or thought-provoking as their albums that followed, but still stands head-and-shoulders above the nu-metal pap that is out there today.
"hush" what a classic track.

New music rocks.

Only ever heard "smooth criminal" and "movies" bt Alien Ant Farm.

I quite like them both :D

Any particular song/s you think I should download from there album?

I want to hear a few more songs before buying their album, I have little money :D

Yeah, AAF are pretty good, growing more and more on me.

However, you neeeeed to hear Foxy Brown "Oh Yeah".
Man, talk about pitching a tent.
And she's a foul-mouth little madam.

Excellent

Anyone into the scene should check out Incubus. There is genuine talent there. I have 4 of their albums now, but I hear theres another one.

Lost Prophets are pretty similar, but not as good yet. Saw them support Pitchshifter a few months back, and they were really nice guys, they came out at theend and signed our tickets and stuff. Hopefully as they develop their style they will make it to the incubus standard. Their First album is on par with Fungus Amongus....

Though I like the AAF CD a lot, I prefer Incubus too. I was just saying that they have a similar sound. If you like one, it's worth checking out the other.

Comparinf Alienant farm with Incubus? Yeah, AAF are allright, and their MJ cover is funy, but they are nowhere the level of talent or ability of incubus.

Oh, and brad - SOAD do rock!

ANThology is a really good album. I particularly like the track 'Courage'. Incubus are very similar particularly their second album 'Make Yourself'. Their first 'S.C.I.E.N.C.E.' is harder, less mainstream, and with more hip hop influences. Though 'Make Yourself' has the superbly titled 'Battlestar Scratchlactica'. Also check out The lostprophets, who are more nu metal/Faith No More sounding.

Slipknot? Bunch of freaks making noise wearing masks.

Staind aren't very good though... Tantric are way better and so are Dave Mathhews Band
