Genre: Indie, Post Punk
There are lots of good singers in the world. Beyonce has a good voice, as does Chris Cornell. Jesse Lacey and Justin Vernon are also individuals to which this label applies (in my superior opinion).
To me, it's pretty special when a vocalist comes along who is truly great. Morrissey is one of them. Blessed with a voice possessing a sort of creamy quality and phrasing to match, his brilliant lyrics soar over the catchy and ingenious jangly guitar lines of Johnny Marr in a songwriting partnership that is extraordinarily hard to find fault with. It manages to s ound deliciously raw, but polished at the same time. People say that The Queen is Dead is The Smith's best. I agree. Everyone needs to hear this album. It's as close as you can get to post punk/indie rock perfection. The atmospheres and melodies contained within this are just beautiful, and you cannot help but be immersed in this record. Seriously man.
Seriously.

These guys rule seriously. This release is more accessible than Cacophony. A fantastic listen for those who enjoyed Cacophony or for those who found it a little too weird. In fact just get it. I dare you. Whether you listen to Wu-Tang, Opeth, Converge or Black Flag you need this.

This is a weird album. Wonderfully weird in fact. Cacophony is a deathrock/post punk album that is immensely atmospheric and contains strange spoken word passages, many of them (from what I can work out, some are sped up or altered in some way to the point of being indecipherable) excerpts from Lovecraft works. Though very atmospheric, the album does contain many very catchy riffs. The and lyrics are very strong and effective, and as I noted before, pertain to the writing of H.P. Lovecraft. The gloomy, tortured and chaotic nature of the music really does strengthen the subject matter brilliantly. The vocals range from a tortured sneer to screams and yells, and are extremely well done. The album artwork was drawn in pen-and-ink by frontman Nick Blinko. This is an album that is not to be missed. Mindblowingly good.
