Well less than one month left in the year so its time to pick what were your favorite (and least favorite) records that came out this year. Not only can this thread show opinions but maybe expose people to some great records they might not have noticed or overlooked.
Built To Spill- You In Reverse (album of the year in my opinion.Every song is great. a strong return for them) Neil Young- Living With War (this come in a close second.Neil put a lot of heart in this album.Has some of his best electric guitar work in years.It was interesting how he took the perspective of war from different angles.Love that opener "after the garden", veyr poignant) Witch- S/T (great stuff.Mascis is one hell of a drummer.You'll like it if you like sabbath, although the songs aren't always as slow as there's.Some mind scrambling guitar solos on it) Mudhoney- Under a Billion Suns (better than SWBT.Key songs:endless yesterday, blind spots, empty shells, it is us, hard on for war) Pillows- My Foot ( fans of flcl should know this band. yes, they released a record this year too and it was good. Insanely catchy songs, a great instrumental "march of the gods" and a beautiful orchestrated track "so long universe") Sonic Youth- Rather Ripped (although not as good as nurse,still worth being on the list.I liked the record.Favorite songs :Rats, Torquoise boy,Jams Run Free, what a waste) Bob Dylan -Modern Times (a late classic for dylan.Some of his best lyrics in years and best melodies.Has a kickass muddy waters cover on it) I still have to hear: Mission of Burma: Obliterati Comets On Fire- Avatar so any word on that will be heard!

I agree. There was still some stuff I liked but nothing I fell head over heels for. I "like" Rather Ripped, I am not afraid of you and I will beat your ass, Drum's Not Dead, but I don't love any of them. I take that back--I love the new STNNNG album. Love it. And it's just a local Minneapolis band. I also really like the American Hardcore soundtrack, but that's a comp of old stuff. Most of the stuff I bought this year that I really like are reissues. The best reissues this year are the Wire LPs and Metal Box.

it occurs to me i haven't bought much new stuff this year
exceptional - Erase Errata - Nightlife great - SY - Rather Ripped (much better live) Mika Miko - C.Y.S.L.A.B.F. Les Georges Leningrad - Sangue Puro Charalambides - A Vintage Burden Christina Carter - Electrice Bardo Pond - Ticket Crystals Good - Cat Power - The Greatest Be Your Own Pet - eponymous Awesome Color - eponymous (better live, and even greater when aaron mullen joined in at portland, and thurston rocked thru "free man" in brooklyn) Disapointing - AIDS Wolf - The Lovvers Lp (just soured on them, and i find Chloe a bit annoying and gossipy) still yet to hear some stuff like TLASILA - Noon and Eternity and not yet released Nas - Hip Hop is Dead?, is looking to one of the years best |
