Wow I don't know so many of these.

I found it very confusing when I read this on the website; it listed the review score with each album and there was no consistency; 6s in front of 9s and 7s in front of 8s. Pretty much sums the NME up I think, lol.
Also, the Hurts album will top the readers' poll because it got hyped to shit by NME and its their own special little hipster record.
|
| |
meh
|
| |
Yes Xeno
|
| |
Hidden was meh. Some cool tracks, though.
|
| |
these new puritans are terrible
|
| |
lol at best coast being above flylo
|
| |
Don't even think ive heard of #1
|
| |
Also, interesting how Q had Skream and these chaps have Magnetic Man
|
| |
fail for no age, mgmt, and vamp weekend above DEP, MCR, Kanye, and Marina...
|
| |
Underoath, The Word Alive, Anberlin
|
| |
mcr>Sufjan Stevens
oh right
|
| |
in general it was a good year 4 music. cant tell by looking at this list
|
| |
Props for having Laura Marling so high.
|
| |
Who cares? We're Sputnikmusic, not NME.
|
| |
who the fuck is #1? and what sort of list includes both Option Paralysis and some MCR bullshit, but rates the MCR album higher?
I is confuse
|
| |
Grinderman and Lotus was all I gave a fuck about
|
| |
I think NME gives their writers free rein with regards to ratings, as opposed to Pitchfork. Same with Sputnik and Converge last year.
Yeah this would make sense thinking about it, but I just wonder whether the biggest indie magazine in the UK should be a little bit less all-over-the-place with their praise of an album/band, particularly when their hype trains are the highest-powered I've ever seen.
Example: they hyped the shit out of Florence last year and got well excited about her and then when Lungs dropped they published a poorly written, confused review about how it wasn't that good. But then I'm fairly sure it made somewhere at the top end of their 2009 list.
Sputnik's a bit different in that regard because we don't publish a staff review as the 'sputnikmusic approved opinion' which, regardless of the hivemind or free-reign tactics of p4k and NME, is what their reviews are read as. The closest we get is flagging or featuring reviews but that's done on quite a different basis, although I know proximity to general opinion comes into it. But again, that's slightly different, because general opinion isn't just the staff opinion - it's the userbase's.

| |
lol at MCR being better than Sufjan Stevens
|
| |
Also, the metal albums on this list are a token gesture designed to make people think they're not all hipster but that's not going to change because the people that they have writing for them are indie/britpop lovers for the most part. It's like last year when they published their decade list and just thrown in among loads of typical NME albums was Relationship of Command, which we would largely agree belongs on a decade list but just seemed a forced inclusion.
Add to that the fact that they have a separate 'metal' section on their website (all the way at the right hand side of the navbar) which includes brutal bands like MCR, Lostprophets and Paramore, and it's pretty funny.

| |
Needs more Fang Island.
|
| |
Foals deserves it's #6 ranking.
|
| |
List has many albums that deserve to be on a Best Of list but the ordering is hilariously incorrect.
|
| |
No Deftones=List Invalidated
|
| |
The fuck is The Suburbs doing as #2?
|
| |
19. MGMT - Congratulations
lol
|
| |
SWANS...SWANS...SWANS...
but
lol
mcr > dep
lol
|
| |
i always read these and have never heard of over half of the bands and don't listen to most (all) the ones i've heard of.
i like dat shitty muzik.
|
| |
i could have sworn that The Suburbs was going to be NME's number 1...but yeah.
NME has sucked for pretty much the last decade so yeah
|
| |
meh
|
| |
DEP's Option Paralysis should be higher, son.
|
| |
any publication that considers the new mcr album to be one of the best of the year deserves to be skullfucked to death.
|
| |
List is missing lots of metal.
And Arcade Fire was good, but not nearly enough to be #2.
|
| |
8. Salem - King Night
-_-
|
| |
Option Paralysis at 67?
The fuck?
|
| |
Fucking lol @ Kanye only being #34
|
| |
mgmt before kanye...
i'ma let you finish but...
|
| |
I can understand the lack of metal, but the lack of BR's Dissent of Man or The Roots' How I Got Over is just plain criminal. Same thing goes for the lack of JEW's Invented
|
| |
Order is completely fucked
|
| |
A lot better than Q's list.
|
| |
where the shyt is Self Preserved Before Bodies Float Up
|
| |
this is surprisingly good for NME but I agree that the order is lol
|
| |
Laura Marling is by far the best thing on the list
|
| |
At least this one doesn't have KOL on it...
|
| |
Danger Days better than Option Paralysis? Piss off...
|
| |
Scratch that, Everything Everything own it.
|
| |
No Deftones=List Invalidated [2]
|
| |
British people. . .
|
| |
MGMT and Vampire Weekend put out two of the more insufferable records of the year
|
| |
No Deftones=List Invalidated [3]
and lol @ Danger Days
|
| |
What the piss!?! I haven't even heard of 95% of these bands.
|
| |
That's because it's predominantly an indie focused publication you troglodyte.
That said this list is really bad, they the top 3 dubstep releases this year...and then rate that piece of shit magnetic man put out higher than it.
|
| |
list is alright considering NME but fuck them so hard for that waste of a #1.
|
| |
pulled apart by horses
best band name ever?
|
| |
Needs more kanye.
|
| |
74 should be 1
|
| |
yes
|
| |
rofl rofl at the suburbs and congratulations hitting the top 20
|
| |
they said the only reason kanye didnt make it was because his album came out too late, they gave him a 9 so im sure he would have been high.
Just realised he is on it and a measley 34
|
| |
how can they say danger days from mcr is better than plastic beach from gorillaz ? lame people
|
| |
These New Puritans suck
|
| |
Pulled Apart By Horses put on an incredible live show, sound alot like BATS.
|
| |
Doesn't look a great list, Age of Adz is too low and other favourites of mine aren't even listed.
|
| |
Can the British music press get anything right?
|
| |
Danger Days deserves to be so much higher.
Nice list. Too much dependence on indie cred can be bad, though.
