I got Swollen Member's new one, but have not listened to it yet. I have not heard of Atmosphere, I'll check them out.

Atmosphere is AMAZING!... being only about 45 min from Minneapolis I have to know who he is.

I've been listening to Swollen's new album for the last day. It's great, as long as you like their older stuff. It's slower and darker like their early stuff. I dig it, but it has less of the fun upbeat tunes. Good night-time driving music.

I love Atmosphere. I'm downloading his right now. Good week! Two of my favorites.

atmosphere is hands down my favorite artist.

that being said. his new album is a huge dissapointment. ive listened to the whole thing straight through a good 5 or 6 times. and there are only 2 songs that i enjoyed.
this album seems "dark" to me compared to his normal stuff. just my oppinion though. bummed me out. i heard shes enough and was like yea sick! bought the album.. bummer.

I had never heard of Atmosphere before this thread. Based on his latest album, I'm not a fan.

Yup, I'm with you guys. At's new album is slow and boring. I'll have to pass, unfortuntely.

Jon, Check out songs like..... Trying to find a balance, AngelFace, RFTC, Scalp, Sunshine, Yesterday, and Glasshouse. These are the songs that make me a huge fan. He has a unique style.

Another good Canadian artist is Shad. Album- The old Prince - songs - Brother watching and Get up.....whole album is good though

I've recently become a huge fan of Wiz Khalifa. He has a lot of older albums which are really good. Top 3 are my fav.

Kush and Orange juice
Half Baked
Chronic 2010
Cabin Fever
Rolling Papers
Show and Prove
Black and Yellow
Deal or No Deal

Notice a bit of a trend in the albums.lol. His songs are all named the similarly as well.

Thanks! I'll check some of these guys out.

What's the connection with the album titles?

^^ Most of his albums and names of songs have to do with the Mary Jane

The girl in Spider man?

Wiz Khalifa is the man! Some of his stuff is hit or miss but has some sick beats.

Gotta wait until I get off work to listen to the new atmosphere album but hopefully its legit

If you like Atmosphere and swollen members check out Army of the Pharaohs or AOTP for short. They are sick!

Get Busy Committee is another one of my fav's. Thier Song Uzi Does It is awesome!

You can listen to some of the new Atmosphere tracks here - http://hypem.com/#!/search/atmosphere/1/
Just sort by most recent. Love some of the singles, but nothing really compares to his original stuff...

I'm loving the new swollen. Night Vision is my fav track.

Damn, I'm out of the loop. I will download both tonight, Hopefully the new Swollen is better than "Armed to the teath" That sucked a$$....................

^^ that is sweet. Love me some Empire of the sun as well.

I love Armed to the teeth. There were a few songs I didn't enjoy. But there are 5-6 tracks I still rock. They definitely tried out some new things that I felt were way outside of their style.
