This Aussie psychedelic guitar rock band recently released of of the best albums so far this year (IMO).

To me, they sound like a combination Beatles, T. Rex, Sabbath and Hawkwind. It's a great album, don't miss it. Also, their debut "Innerspeaker" from two years ago was one of the best debuts of the last few years.

This is on my to-hear list.

It's good but it's amazingly overrated.

I heard one song on Sirius the other day and it sounded like mellow Flaming Lips.

I thought Innerspeaker was easily the best release of that year in any genre. Truly one of the best albums I've ever heard. I gave Lonerism a listen streaming from my laptop a few weeks ago. Terrible idea. I thought it was terrible. Got my vinyl in the mail a few days ago and after repeat listens on a really nice pair of headphones and cranked on the stereo, I must say my original impression was completely wrong. Amazing album.

I'm on my 11th complete listen, and it's still not doing tons for me. However, "Keep On Lying" is fucking phenomenal.

I've been thru it a few times now, and while I like the music quite a bit, the vocals really bring it down for me. There is nothing distinctive, remarkable, or interesting about the singer's voice. It's just kind of bland and wimpy.

It's on sale this week at Best Buy for $7.99.

This was one of those albums where I liked the one song - "Elephant" - and the rest of the record left me cold, and didn't do a thing for me. Lot of friends had it on their yearly "Best of 2012" lists, though. I just couldn't hear what they were hearing.
