It's All False! It's All A Dream! It's Alright!Holy shit. It finally clicked. I'm pretty sure my story has been told a thousand times before. I was disappointed with the new songs at first; thought they had gone too soft. "Weiss! Why would you strip away everything that made mewithoutYou amazing!" I was wrong. Dead wrong.Miles Davis Kind of BlueNeutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the SeaSuch a fantastic piece of art--it's such a shame that Jeff Mangum stopped after this release. The album has such simple motifs--despair, sex, love--but it is presented in one of the most under-appreciated albums ever (for the mainstream, at least). The beauty lies in the desperation. Mangum's voice struggles to reach new heights, but even when it does not reach the specified note--it is absolutely beautiful.Nick Drake Pink MoonOkkervil River Down the River of Golden DreamsLyrics really can make or break an album--luckily this one stood up to the tests. With classics like "The Velocity of Saul at the Time of His Conversion" and "Maine Island Lovers" providing the soft-spoken yet hard-hitting power, it is hard to imagine this album being anything less than extraordinary. One of my favorites of all time.Pink Floyd Wish You Were HereThis album has gotten me through so many hard times. Sometimes I feel as if it's a crutch for my emotions. Just a ridiculously good album--it encompasses such longing, forgiveness, and friendship.Pink Floyd The WallRadiohead Kid ARadiohead OK ComputerRage Against the Machine Rage Against the MachineSonic Youth Daydream NationThe Beatles RevolverThe Beatles Rubber SoulThe Beatles Abbey RoadThe Beatles Sgt.

Surprisingly diverse for an Alternative band--but I love the vocals and the razor-thin guitars.Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside MeBruce Springsteen The RiverElliott Smith Either/OrFrank Zappa Jazz From HellJeff Buckley Sketches for My Sweetheart the DrunkI find it hard to rate this as a complete album--being that this is practically most of his unfinished demos plus barely down-on-tape songs. Even still, the album is incredible. Buckley's playing is, as always, astounding, and it is very obvious that special care was taken in the tone and progressions. The second disc is wonderful. I love the taps on the mic for rhythm and the general roughness. It sounds like his old live shows. As everyone has stated, an essential Jeff Buckley album--and a solid album for all listeners.Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IVMetallica Death MagneticmewithoutYou Brother, SisterModest Mouse This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think AboutMuse AbsolutionNick Drake Five Leaves LeftAlthough most consider Pink Moon to be Nick Drake's magnum opus, Five Leaves Left improves upon everything his original album had to offer. The string melodies and distant piano keys all tie together to create one hell of a sound-scape.Okkervil River Don't Fall In Love With Everyone You SeePhosphorescent PrideProtest the Hero FortressRadiohead The BendsRadiohead Hail to the ThiefSay Anything In Defense of the GenreThe Black Keys Attack & ReleaseThe Flashbulb Soundtrack to a Vacant LifeThe Gaslight Anthem Sink or SwimThe Gaslight Anthem The '59 SoundA fantastic album. The Springsteen comparisons are so obvious, but they fit so perfectly. It has a way of drawing the listener in with stripped-down music.

The influences they've listed in interviews--The Clash, early Rolling Stones, and Tom Waits--are all very apparent from the first few tracks.

It's too bad that the rest of the album didn't live up to my expectations--which may or may not have been too high.Manchester Orchestra I'm Like a Virgin Losing a ChildMuse HAARPDecent. I really wanted to enjoy this album--as I've heard that Muse is unbelievable live. But poor production in some key spots and a certain lack of emotion in others drags the album down.

After "Pork N' Beans" was released, I got really excited. But unfortunately, they'll never sound like they did on the Blue Album and Pinkerton--and that's a fact we'll all have to accept. I've given up on their new stuff until I hear something that legitimately changes my mind.1.5 very poorAvenged Sevenfold Avenged SevenfoldHawk Nelson Hawk Nelson Is My FriendNickelback Dark Horse1.0 awfulbrokeNCYDE BC 13
