OT: Great new album

Hi all:
 
 About a month ago at the SR Forum, I started a post in which I named the best new albums I´ve heard this year. Wilco´s "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" and Sigur Ros´ "Agaetis Byrjun" comprised my list.
 
 Well, I have a new one to add: Coldplay´s "A Rush of Blood to the Head."
 
 This is a fantastic album. I listened to every song for the first time this morning, and there´s not a bad tune on the record. In fact, all are fantastic. And I´m one of those music fans who usually warms up to an album after a few listens -- I hardly ever fall head-over-heels in gushing love with a record after the first listen.
 
 Well, man, I love "A Rush of Blood to the Head" after just one listen through.
 
 Take care,
 PK [ This message was edited by: pk500 on 21-08-2002 10:45 ]

I heard one last night-12 Stones. These guys are GOOD! Highly recommended.

PK, I don´t know if this qualifies as a new album, but it is the first time I have heard the actual album. "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. Man, I put that baby in the car and was simply blown away. The last track "Shine on You Craxy Diamond Part 2" has got to be the all time best air guitar record ever made. I used to think "Hotel California" by the Eagles and Sweet child of mine by "Guns and Roses" oh, and Knee Deep by Parliament Funkadelic had the best air guitars, but this PInk Floyd record blows them all away in my opinion.

Nova:
 
 Ah, I remember the first time I heard "Wish You Were Here." It was 1982, and I was 17.
 
 Blew me away just like it did you. Timeless record.
 
 Enjoy!
 
 Take care,
 PK

These are both a couple of months old. But the new DJ Shadow album ("The Private Press") and the new Flaming Lips ("Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots") are most excellent.
 
 And "Point" by Cornelius. Saw him in concert a few weeks ago...an incredible show.

I´ve heard nothing but good things about Yankee Hotel Foxtrot... I may have to give it a listen at some point.
 
 I´m digging the new disc by Nickel Creek right now. They are sorta alterna-newgrass. They aren´t really country, not really bluegrass. But they are really good.
