Besides MBD, there's another new notable album - Sympinny. It's a Beats style album with Yumi Lowy. No comment yet on the quality etc.

First impression isn't great here.

I didn't like the new MBD nor Simpinny. My favorite new frוm album is this highly obscure one:

Do you like anything from that genre or do you only like alternative rap type stuff?

of course! I loved MBD's Efshar Letakan, and more recently, Yonatan Razel's new album. I don't like rap all that much; it's the Israeli music that really gets me going.
I do despise any Jewish CD which unnecessarily uses trumpets.

I know I'm not the only one, but an album needs time before I will say I like or dislike it. So many albums seem weak at first, and really grow on me. It is rare that a song or album is great from the get go.

I hear. But I can usually tell what albums will grow on me (shwekey usually yes, MBD - none yet)
BTW which post was the best ever?

just recently - Avraham Fried's latest was meh for me. Listened a bit more, and it is a terrific album.

Using the advanced search you can search for that phrase by Freddie and you should be able to dig it up.

Don't you dare try take away the trumpets - you'll wipe out my entire library!

In all seriousness - your answer to whether you like the genre is to mention an album more than a decade old. That's not exactly oozing fandom, which is fine, but be honest. I've reviewed a bunch of albums here, but never reviewed singers or styles I'm not a fan of. Why would I tell you I think Shwekey's latest album wasn't great if I never liked any of his albums?

If I'm trying to defend MBD, I'm practically forced to quote albums that are decades old! There are only two other albums of his that are newer and if I didn't like either of them, I'm out of luck! I greatly enjoyed many older MBD songs and albums as well - though the arrangements are reflective of their times.
I never give opinions on artists who don't have anything I like - notice how I have yet to bring up Avraham Fried?

Mordechai Ben David is not a genre. You'd find him in mafteach ishim, not mafteach inyanim.

I referenced an MBD in my reply because we were reviewing his album and chaimmeyer asked if I like anything that style. I thought safest to go with that specific artist in answering myself.
BTW, Efshar letaken is very similar genre-wise to Tzaakah.

I love the tune, the music and the vocals.

 The lyrics can use some help, (Lifeguard, drone?)  :)
