lou1000: Deerhunter Top 5

lou1000 04.10.13	New album isn't as dreamy/shoegazey as their previous ones, but that doesn't mean it isn't as good. Hard to pick standouts from Monomania as it's so consistent.
Sleaper 04.10.13	i agree with this list. dream captain, blue agent and neon junkyard are prob my fav. i was a big fan of the sound on halycon so its kind of hard to really adapt to monomania. theres no standout like nothing ever happened or he would have laughed tho. wahh
Winesburgohio 04.10.13	2 is really good but gotta second pawnpn, although the title track comes pretty close for me
lou1000 04.10.13	Agreed, it doesn't have an absolute standout ^"although the title track comes pretty close for me". Although it's probably more consistently entertaining from start to finish. Halcyon Digest's second half, for me, was much better than the first whereas Monomania is great all the way through.
Winesburgohio 04.10.13	I feel you! Microcastle is still their most consistent (and my personal preference) to me but different strokes Then again i quite like turn it up faggot too so i can't lay claim to complete impartiality
lou1000 04.10.13	Will it feature in the AOTY discussion, once everyone has had time to digest it?
Sleaper 04.10.13	definitely. this year has been incredible, considering we are only 4 months in. Deerhunter is probably the biggest "grower band" i know. so im sure ill admire it much more later on in the year
Winesburgohio 04.10.13	depends if it's digested halcyonly or not heuheuheu but to return to the consistency issue; Halcyon Digest is intentionally inconsistent is it not? It's pretty blatantly lopsided (compare the track lengths of first half to second half; the brilliant structural afterthought that is 'He Would Have Left') but eschewing cohesion is the point here. It's a study of memory, specifically flawed memory that drags on some scenes and punctuates others, and i think the inconsistency echoes this nicely SORRY WANKIN' IT UP ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT
lou1000 04.10.13	@Pawpnbawtlez Yeah true. Of the albums released so far it's up there for me already.
lou1000 04.10.13	Are Deerhunter on the way to becoming all time greats? Every album they've released has been amazing + all the side project stuff.
joplinpicasso 04.10.13	Winesburgohio speaks whole truths about Halcyon. My thoughts exactly.
lou1000 04.13.13	Loving Punk at the moment. Also, why does no one like Leather Jacket II.
dustinodell 05.01.13	I agree with this. Monomania and Microcastle are so close for me. I might put Microcastle a little above it, but Monomania is definitely a solid album all the way through. I don't think it's possible for Deerhunter to make something bad.
