Do it! They're discography is so unbelievably consistent that you'll wonder how they would manage to do something like that in the span of 20 years! And yes, No Cities To Love is pretty fantastic.

Also, their albums are all relatively short, so it's doesn't take long to blow through them all. all the while you hear them grow as a band.

Of course I'm a feminist. I'm certainly not a misogynist. 😨

I knew you were in your 30's, but I didn't know you were a feminist. 😁 In seriousness, you're really gonna love this. It's catchy as the flu. EDIT: a Sleater-Kinney marathon sounds good today.

I'm not really a Sleater-Kinney fan, but the album got great reviews and I liked the two or three Sleater-Kinney albums I already heard. Plus, I'd say I'm more into them than most artists releasing albums this month.

On track 4. It's a good album, almost as good as Call the Doctor. Might be better later in the album.

I was just joking about how you're not an angry 35 year old feminist.

I've long long ben a fan of Sleater Kinney. Was busy earlier, but just started my full on full discography play through to lead up to No Cities.

Personally, they don't get much better than Dig Me Out but I've loved everything they've done.

I downloaded the Manson album. I have to hear it a few more times to really assess it. It is definitely more goth-rock than industrial metal...and it has a hint of blues as well. Only a couple of songs were all that memorable after one spin, but it is definitely different.

I like the new Decemberists album. It is (was maybe) streaming on itunes. This is also the day Justin Townes Earle's Double Album "Single Mothers and Absent Fathers" Gets released on vinyl.

Good day.

Not a fan of the new Sleater-Kinney. It feels so flat to me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Panda Bear come out tomorrow?

Marilyn Manson's new album's out the same day, that COULD be good. Been a long time since he made anything I liked that wasn't a cover, but we'll see. Sisikyou and Dissapears, for more obscure picks, also have albums out the 20th.

Other upcoming releases this month include new Guster, Ty Segall, Mark Ronson, Funeral for a Friend, Dodos, Aphex Twin (just an EP but still EDIT: It's a 14 track EP so we'll see how long that really is), live albums from Dr Dog and Ty Segall, hell, I'm even putting out Low Voltage II at the end of the month.

All aboard the hype train!

May not even try the Decemberists' release, since the reviews are saying it continues in the direction established on The King is Dead (which was just a snore). Haven't heard Panda yet, but I'm enjoying Sleater-Kinney and B&S so far.

I thought the album was very impressive until the end. it captures the essence of traditional folk occasionally, and has a doo-wop song!

decemberists album sounds good, although this is 2 albums in a row now where the grand vision and extensive vocabulary are missing. my first keeper of 2015.

They've released three tracks from What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World. "The Wrong Year" doesn't do much for me, but I like "Make You Better" and loooooove "Lake Song." So I am cautiously optimistic.

The Decemberists and Panda Bear may be worth a listen. The other two are pointless though. That Belle band were always silly and it is unbelievable they still make albums while Sleater-Kinney should have called it quits and not even thought about a My Bloody Valentine.

It's going to be the sort of album which will be raved about on the week before its out and tossed aside 6 months down the line 😲
