Favorite album of the Year

[IronMexican]

Didn't we have a thread on this? I can't find it.

Anyways, my favorite is Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens. It's awesome possum. And you need to listen to it. I like it more than Illinoise.

IM, I just heard this one last night---not sure I can get into it; it sounded very "noisy", like too many sound effects. I've heard his Michigan album and a Christmas album, but they were very Simon & Garfunkle-esque.

So far my favorites for 2010 are

[IronMexican]

Yeah, a lot less Folk than his other stuff. Much more ambient.

[IronMexican]

And a 75 minute album might turn some people off.

[monosylab1k]

Diamond Eyes is the best work the Deftones have ever done, imho, and I've been a fan of theirs from the beginning. It's definitely one of the best albums this year.

But tbh we all know that the new Panda Bear album is going to kick every other album's ass.

Somebody hook me up with a link to this on either rapidshare or megaupload.

You hear some of the snippets from Amazon? Great, right?

[IronMexican]

IronMexican strengthens his opinion on Age of Adz. God tier.

I still haven't given this a proper listen. Is it kind of like Boxer?

I couldn't say, this is the first I've been introduced to the National.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I meant 'seriously' as in 'Seriously? Its that good? I haven't listened to it yet."

[IronMexican]

It's det good. Some people wont like the auto-tune, or a 25 minute track, or a 75 minute album. But fuck em. They can come at me bro. I ain't even trippin', yo.

[monosylab1k]

I still haven't given this a proper listen. Is it kind of like Boxer?

tbh it's pretty damn good but not even close to as good as Boxer. But I'm a huge Boxer knobslobber.

[monosylab1k]

and tbh that's for real, I'm a big fan of The National.

[monosylab1k]

and tbh sufjan stevens is so overrated it's not even funny. tbh i don't get how all you hispter atheists don't scoff the shit out of him considering he's christian as all get out.

[IronMexican]

Samesies.

Boxer is probably one of my favorite albums of the last decade. I was just asking if it was similar in style.

[Mono's understudy]

I like boxer too :tu

[IronMexican]

and tbh sufjan stevens is so overrated it's not even funny. tbh i don't get how all you hispter atheists don't scoff the shit out of him considering he's christian as all get out.

The Hipster community also accepts Jeff Mangum, and he pretty much wrote an entire(Great) album on Jesus Christ. I've loved Jay Cee ever since I heard King of Carrot Flowers part 2 and 3.

lololol i just figured out who Mono's understudy is

[oh crap]

i've listened to lots of quality stuff across the board with respect to genres, and while this may not be the best album of the year, it's turned into a quick favorite of mine and hasn't gotten tired after tons of spins. that said, there's quite a few albums scheduled to release during the 4th quarter i've been waiting on, so this is definitely subject to change.

Never even heard of it. Any info?

[monosylab1k]

it's probably some shitty underground white rapper with an acoustic guitar, or maybe some faggy electronica band. Him and TSA love crap like that.

[Ballcox]

The Final Frontier-Iron Maiden

The Gods of metal continue to produce some of the best material they've ever done as they approach 55-60 yrs. in age.

Since Bruce came back for Brave New World, they've gone on a run with Dance of Death, Matter of Life and Death and the current alblum that rivals the run of Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, 7th Son of a 7th Son and Somewhere in Time.

Amazing the quality of work they continue to produce after 30 plus years in the industry. Up the Irons!

great comeback!

[CuckingFunt]

I still don't think I've actually listened to any albums released this year. Not in their entirety, at least.

I need to turn in my hipster credentials. Immediately.

I've listened to very few. The new Old 97's disc I picked up yesterday probably wins by default.

[Ballcox]

great comeback!

:lmao

[monosylab1k]

I still think geriatric old 80's metal bands are the shit!

[Spurminator]

I still enjoy some geriatric 80's metal bands, including Iron Maiden. But that falls more under "guilty pleasure."

[Ballcox]

Ah Mono-whatever, you're definitely entitled to your opinion. But these are the same guys who currenlty sell out arenas all over the world. There is a whole new generation of fans who appreciate their music, even if you don't.

They also play at places other bands won't or can't go to. On one of their recent tours they opened in Mumbai, India where no metal band has ever played. They played in Bogota, Columbia, Central America, places where other bands won't play-bringing their music to entire population of fans who love them to death.

But feel free to lump them into the generic 80's metal music, just further demonstrates your ignorance.

[dirk4mvp]

I hope mono ain't hatin on those niggas in Megadeth. I got IronBeaner of all people to admit Rust In Peace was god tier. Of course, he is actually hardwired to eat sleep and breath metal.

[dirk4mvp]

and tbh my favorite album of 2010 is Congratulations.

haters ghana hate

[IronMexican]

Listening to Titus Andronicus' The Monitor. So far, shit sucks, yo. Of course, this is only the first track, and was based on the opinion that this is like a heavier Neutral Milk Hotel.

[IronMexican]

And Peace Sells and Rust in peace are great albums, breh. All other metal sux besides Disturbed and Linkin Park though.

This album is pretty shitty. It doesn't deserve the praise. p4k can take it's 8.7 and shove it.

Don't know how anyone could like it. I got to the 7th track and had to cancel. Deleting this garbage.

you listened to peace sells scro?

[IronMexican]

you listened to peace sells scro?
Twice.


Not as good as Rust in Peace, though.

[CuckingFunt]

I have to assume this is a joke.




That assumption is not in defense of metal, by the way.

[Drachen]

1997's "Album of the Year" by Faith no More is my favorite album of the year.

Youthanasia is vastly under rated as far as Megadeth albums are concerned.

I would put it above Peace Sells but that's just me.

[IronMexican]

Hi old thread. Favorite album of the yer was probably Dance yrself Clean to end it.

I like just about every song on the album..

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Turns out my favorite was Danger Days by My Chemical Romance. Really different from their old stuff, not emo in the least bit and just a solid rock album all around.

Teen Dream is pretty good.

Me too, Cee-Lo was 2nd but I didn't listen to much new music this year.

[The Gemini Method]

The Black Keys album was definitely a a fave of mine...

For 2011? Well, it's still early, but one of my faves is:

Iron & Wine

cbFKA8URvDI

[vy65]

Oh, and that Sleigh Bells album was pretty gosh darn good too

[The Gemini Method]

Oh, and that Sleigh Bells album was pretty gosh darn good too

Indeed.

[The Gemini Method]

tbh it's pretty damn good but not even close to as good as Boxer. But I'm a huge Boxer knobslobber.

While Boxer is one of my all-time faves, I still think Alligator is a better album by the slimmest of margins. Perhaps its because I saw them perform after they released Alligator and Matt Berninger (lead vocalist) was coming off a rough time in life and was completely drunk and still managed to kill it.

[Fpoonsie]

Oh, and that Sleigh Bells album was pretty gosh darn good too

Agreed.

It was just a fun album...although, every time I play it, it sounds as if my speakers are about to explode.

[vy65]

It's like an M.I.A. album, except good.

Looking forward to seeing them in April.

[IronMexican]

I didn't like Sleigh Bells, at all. If I want a fun album, I have The Drums s/t.

[MannyIsGod]

I forgot about Big Boi's album. It was pretty good too.

seriously, how does it work when your "stereotypical cholo gangster in every Antoine Fuqua movie" looking self goes into some up it's own ass hipster club? Do they immediately hand you their brand new worn vintage wallets in fear, or embrace you fully to look like they have some street cred, the same way pitchfork knobslobs Clipse?

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Can't believe no one mentioned this album yet, but probably it wasn't a big hit in the U.S. Listen it, fuckin awesome (If you dig Old skool hip-hip, indie rock, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, etc)
