Their recent work, AM and this one, is quite different and not shouty at all.

Well neither was Suck it and See was it?
The new album is and anyone who says differently has probably not listened to it enough times. Nuanced.

Following FergusG's suggestions I have The Silencers lined up for 1987, jut waiting for the album to get here from Germany  I got some new music for my birthday last week as well although these will end up as second albums as I'd already got albums for those years.
For 1975 I have The Sinking of the Titanic by Gavin Bryars. It's just 2 tracks and sounds surprisingly modern as it's sampled vocals with an orchestral backing. I think it's going to be a keeper.
For 2005 I have Government Commissions by Mogwai. I only know their music from the soundtrack of Les Revenants so I'm interested to see what their other stuff sounds like.
I also got 2 more Godspeed You! Black Emperor albums - my obsession continues

I really enjoyed Godspeed's "Lift your skinny fists..." Don't know the Silencers or Gavin Bryars. Mogwai have avoided me but I may go back to them later.

Gavin Bryars - Jesus Blood never failed me yet, with a loop of an old tramp singing a tune that is repeated endlessly, as the orchestra comes in and the Tom Waits sharing vocal duties over 40 or 50 minutes is wonderful.

Just to go back to Arctic Monkeys new album quickly. I've gave it a few listens now and hate it - just a pile of songs that were not good enough to go on AM (which I loved). Good stuff that some people like it but not for my tastes.

Currently listening to Fleet Foxes for 2008 - a band who’s name I recognise but who I knew nothing about. It’s sounds a bit Mumford & Sons to me. It’s alright, but not going to make it onto my favourites list.

I braved the Rough Trade shop and swapped my duplicate GSYBE CD for Goo by Sonic Youth and Slave Ambient by The War On Drugs. 2 completely new bands for me.
