05.25.10 | Needs Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma, and mine would have the Sed Non Satiata self-titled as well. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | flying lotus wasn't really a surprise for me, though. if i'm expecting it to be good, and it is good, then why would it be on this list? |
sniper
05.25.10 | That's true. But it surprised the shit out of me, so I'm just telling you mine haha. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Lol, STAY OFF MY LIST! Nah, just kidding. i'll check out the sed non satiata . I haven't heard any of the their stuff at all. What would you compare them to? |
sniper
05.25.10 | Envy in french. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Anything in french is good for me, but Envy in french? That's just mind-bottling! |
Inveigh
05.25.10 | 1, 2 and 3 are all probably in my top 5, along with Vessel by Dark Time Sunshine and maybe Total Life Forever (by Foals), Transference, Throats or Option Paralysis.
Nice list, I still need to listen to Mechanize, no idea why I haven't done that yet. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Again, how can I put an album(Option Paralysis) on a list like this? I knew it was going to be amazing, and it followed through; therefore, it isn't surprisingly good.
I need to check out foals and dark time sunshine though |
mmfarva
05.25.10 | So I'm looking through the lists and see:
Surprise - buckfutter
Anyways, my favorites so far are Frightened Rabbit, Fang Island, Titus Andronicus, and The National. There are a lot I haven't heard yet though. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Oh, I agree mmfarva. I still need to check out a helluva lot of music from this year, especially frightened rabbit and fang island. From what I've heard about those releases, they would easily trump 4 and 5 on this list. |
sniper
05.25.10 | "mind-bottling"
lollerskates. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | I hate that fucking movie yet I continue to quote it. FUCK! |
mmfarva
05.25.10 | The Scottish accent is awesome, and Fang Island is fun as shit. And I find shit incredibly fun. |
Inveigh
05.25.10 | yeah I guess OP was surprisingly good, I kinda forgot about that aspect of the list. then again who expected any less from The National?
and yes, Foals and Dark Time Sunshine are essential 2010 listening in my book. I need to get on Frightened Rabbit, though I wasn't crazy about Fang Island. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | If you mean "shit" as in "good stuff," then I agree with you. If you mean "shit" as in "using fecal matter as crayons to draw on the wall," then not only do I agree with you, but I must ask when should we start? |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | I was surprised by the National due to the fact that I had never listened to them before, but I was blown away by each and every release, especially this one. |
Inveigh
05.25.10 | ^fair enough. speaking of The National, I've been meaning to 5 Boxer for awhile now... |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | I think I might join you in that quest. |
Inveigh
05.25.10 | DO IT |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Open up the trunk, let's get that new car smell. Do it. Do it. DO IT. |
mmfarva
05.25.10 | You mean you haven't started yet? Well... this is somewhat awkward. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Done, the journey is over. We can now rest on our laurels, enjoy food and drink, and walk with women. |
Inveigh
05.25.10 | and draw pictures boobies on the wall in poop |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | I'm gonna draw a picture of a woman being taken by a wooly mammoth. |
mmfarva
05.25.10 | I'm going to need a picture of this masterpiece. Signed, of course. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Well, I heard art should parallel life, so I figured the wooly mammoth was me and the woman was my wife. Or Scarlett Johanson, either one's good for me. |
mmfarva
05.25.10 | Well, who says it can't be both? Surely a wooly mammoth could handle two woman. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Lol, that wouldn't work, trust me. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Why is this site so fucking dead today? |
Inveigh
05.25.10 | I dunno, but it definitely is. it was like this yesterday too. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Did everyone die? Did the mods run everyone off? Or is everybody just fucking busy? |
BigHans
05.25.10 | The biggest surprises for me were let downs by three of my favorite bands, the HOld Steady, Gaslight Anthem, and Drive-By Truckers. The HS and Gaslight weren't bad, even good records, but I was expecting to be blown away like in the past.
That said, some pleasant surprises were The National (didn't think they could make 3 masterpieces in a row), Deftones (wow), and Frightened Rabbit (made a strong follow up to a great debut, doesnt happen alot). |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | Deftones just continue to defy expectations and break ground with every new release. Even their worst releases were gems of the genre. Even Adrenaline was a rare shining light in nu metal. |
Inveigh
05.25.10 | yea pretty much what BigHans said.
also yeah, I think it's a combo of dead users, mods running people off and idiot trolls (the last two kinda play off each other i think) |
BigHans
05.25.10 | Yeah the trolls are taking over. Ive had 8 reviews troll negged in the last two days. I would seriously fight this person, in the street, possibly curb stomp them. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | BITE THE CURB!
One of my all time favorite flicks. Edward Norton is quietly taking over hollywood |
MetalEmmanuel
05.25.10 | List need Option Paralysis, The Monitor and The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III of IV) (Yeah a metal user listening "pop") . Still your list kick ass. Still need to get AILD album and get good listens .
Mine would be
1- The National - High Violet
2- The Dillinger Escape Plan -Option Paralysis
3- Deftones - Diamond Eyes
4- Janelle Monae- The ArchAndroid(Suites II and III and IV)
5- Tie Here CaC - Year of the Black Rainbow and Titus Andronicus - The Monitor |
mmfarva
05.25.10 | Edward Norton is one of my favorites. American History X is incredible. |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | MetalEmmanual- Nice list. The reason OP isn't on here is that it didn't shock me how good it was. I will re-post what I said earlier:
"Again, how can I put an album(Option Paralysis) on a list like this? I knew it was going to be amazing, and it followed through; therefore, it isn't surprisingly good." |
buckfutter
05.25.10 | I used to think only 300 lb guys from new york loved pastrami..... until now. |
