Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist (2007)

Corgan indicated that, with Zeitgeist, he wanted to make a mainstream rock record, comment on the political climate of the United States, and explore the nature of the band and his friendship with Chamberlin. The album was met with mixed reviews and a strong debut, but it quickly slid down the charts. It was certified Gold in the United States on February 1, 2008. In 2008, citing the album's poor commercial performance, Corgan stated that Zeitgeist will be the last studio album the band releases, and that the band's "primary function now is to be a singles band.

Patrick Wolf The Bachelor

Patrick Wolf's new great ful lp "The Bachelor" has been amazing. I've been listening to this album a lot recently. First single "Vulture" is a good reason to like new Patrick Wolf Stuff. There are also other great new tracks like Hard times, Oblivion, Damaris. Patrick's ambitious in singer/songwriter scene reminds me alternative music gods like Gary Numan, David Sylvian and David Bowie. He's also totally surprising at the video of Vulture which reminds me magicful 80s. Cover looks horrible, however you should check out this album.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones


Show Your Bones is the second full-length album by new New York indie rock band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It was released on March 27, 2006 (March 28, 2006 in North America) and nominated for a 2007 Grammy Award for "Best Alternative Music Album".

The album is more subdued in tone from previous records, especially the caustic noise of their self-titled debut EP. Producer Squeak E. Clean adds subtle layers of keyboards, sirens, bells, handclaps; five of the 11 songs utilize acoustic guitar, all prominently.
