Jash Hits 2000
finally hit 2000 comments even though i've been on here forever, i'm
going to try and start reviewing more often so i'll be around more often,
letting Aids know how bad all of his lists are. here's my 5's |
| 1 |  | A Winged Victory For The Sullen
A Winged Victory For The Sullen
Some albums have a certain mood or tone to them, this album is one of the few
that dont. Instead it becomes the perfect soundtrack to the mood you are
already in. |
| 2 |  | Boards Of Canada
Geogaddi
It took this album two weeks to become my second favorite album of all time
and assured the Boards of Canada will be one of my favorite bands of all time.
Music is Math and Dandelions are two of the best songs ever, just sayin |
| 3 |  | Boards Of Canada
Music Has The Right To Children
Music Has The Right To Children was the first electronica record i ever heard. I
didnt know what to expect but i was instantly drawn in by the layered
atmospheres and woozy drum loops. Every song is perfect, a piece to the big
picture this album creates. The use of sampling on this record are some of the
most creative ive ever heard, just adding to the plethora of amazing textures
that are created. A true masterpiece of electronic music, Music Has The Right To
Children will always be one of my favorite albums |
| 4 |  | Bon Iver
For Emma, Forever Ago
The definitive break-up album, For Emma, Forever Ago is probly the saddest
album ever recorded. Justin Vernon puts all of his sadness, anger, and love into
the songs on this album. Ever lyric striking an emotional chord for me, this
album has helped me through some really bad times. Vernon is one of the most
amazing vocalists and his harmonies are beautiful and flawless. |
| 5 |  | Brand New
The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me
I don't really know how to describe this album other than raw emotion. Jesse
Lacey writes some of the most spine tingling, emotional lyrics I've ever heard.
So there's that, and as if the lyrics weren't enough the music is complex when
it needs to be, simple at the perfect times, and chaotic enough to carry the
emotion behind the lyrics.
But life is a test and I get bad marks
Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins
The storm is coming
Yeah the storm is coming |
| 6 |  | Brian Eno
Ambient 1: Music For Airports
Sleep 101 |
| 7 |  | Buddy Guy
Stone Crazy!
The best blues album I have ever heard. Buddy Guy's guitar playing just oozes
emotion, every note exactly what it should be. From blistering lines and riffs to
the perfect held bend that just screams through the amp, it's all their. |
| 8 |  | Burial
Untrue
The crowning achievement for an artist who has created one of the most
unique sounds in dubstep, Untrue is a journey through the darkest alleys of
London that will leave you in awe for its entirety. |
| 9 |  | City Of Caterpillar
City Of Caterpillar
The perfect mix of fast hardcore riffs with epic post-rock build up's, City Of
Caterpillar are fucking insane. A highlight in the history book of emo, this album
is a masterpiece of emotional music. |
| 10 |  | Coldplay
Parachutes
By far the best Coldplay record, their simple sound on Parachutes will always
sound better to me than all their new "Brian Eno huge" sounds |
| 11 |  | Converge
Jane Doe
(hits play for the first time) RAAA RAAA RAAA RAAA RAAA (holy fucking shit this
is awesome!!!!!!) |
| 12 | | Explosions In The Sky
Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
Godspeed are dark and epic. Sigur Ros are cold and beautiful. Explosions In The
Sky, more particularly Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place, are the sound of hope |

This album is just flat out fucking amazing. so much emotion is channeled into
the music these guys make. some of my favorite lyrics of all time are on this
record, its as if youre feeling and going through exactly what he's talking about.
the guitars are genius, and the way they play off of eachothers riffs is just
amazing. up there with For Emma, Forever Ago as a definitive break-up album |
| 27 |  | La Dispute

One of the first albums i ever really obsessed over, it became the soundtrack to
my first experiences with weed and will always remind me of my summer after
grade 9, getting high and doing stupid shit all the time and listening to this |
| 33 |  | Mono
Hymn To The Immortal Wind
This is the perfect snow album. Reading the poem while listening to the album
makes it so much better, and them playing this live is just a whole other lever
of amazing |
| 34 |  | My Bloody Valentine
Loveless
On Loveless, My Bloody Valentine turn noise into beauty. You can get lost in the
walls of distorted guitars or become hypnotized by Bilinda Butcher and Kevin
Shields dreamy vocals. Loveless one of the the most otherworldly and beautiful
albums ever |

| 37 | | Orchid
Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow
The first taste of screamo music i ever had, my friend lent me this album and it
was all i listened to for weeks. It was so different from anything i'd heard at the
time and i was amazed by the raw emotions the songs showed. I would latter
go on to find many more amazing albums in the emo/screamo genre but this
will always be one of my favorites because we all remember our first time |

Mike is one sad guy who can play guitar better than all of us will ever be able to |

Playing whatever you want, as sloppy as you want. As long as it?s good and it
has passion." |
