Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name2010 Warpaint The Fool2.5Starts out pretty strong but totally drives into a ditch around the 3rd to last track which it never manages to pull itself out of. I would give this a 3 were it not for those awful last three songs. "Baby" is just a horrible mess of aimlessly meandering vocals.Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross The Social Network OST4.0Blonde Redhead Penny Sparkle2.5Arcade Fire The Suburbs3.0Crystal Castles Crystal Castles II3.0MGMT Congratulations3.5Once you get used to the idea that this is not Oracular Spectacular this album is actually pretty good. Whoever mastered the album is an idiot though, they put worst tracks first. By the time you get into the meat of the good stuff towards the middle of the album you've already lost all interest. Try reversing the song order in iTunes, it's a bit better. As for the songs themselves, they definitely lack the immediacy of the previous album, instead going for a sort of subdued orchestrated synth-pop. There are some genuinely enjoyable moments in the melodies, arpeggios and Beatles like mid-stride theme changes contained in songs such as 'I Found A Whistle', 'Siberian Breaks', 'Lady Dada's Nightmare', and 'Congratulations'.Mr Twin Sister Color Your Life4.5Small Black Small Black3.02009 Charlotte Gainsbourg IRM3.0Neon Indian Psychic Chasms3.0The Flaming Lips Embryonic3.5JEFF the Brotherhood Heavy Days4.5The Raveonettes In and Out of Control2.5Memory Tapes Seek Magic3.0The Big Pink A Brief History of Love2.0I could not disagree with the JAMC comparisons more. It's like, look, just 'cause there's distortion and feedback does not mean it's Jesus and Mary Chain. Distortion and feedback plus sixties pop sensibilities, THAT equals Jesus and Mary Chain. I just could not connect with this album. No real standout melodies and the singer just doesn't have much that draws you in with his voice. A pretty bland album I thought.Girls Album3.0Vivian Girls Everything Goes Wrong2.5Washed Out Life of Leisure4.0Jay Reatard Watch Me Fall3.0The xx xx3.0Washed Out High Times3.0Grizzly Bear Veckatimest2.5Black Moth Super Rainbow Eating Us2.5The Horrors Primary Colours4.5Screaming Females Power Move2.5Yeah Yeah Yeahs It's Blitz!3.0Psychic Ills Mirror Eye3.0Fool's Gold Fool's Gold4.02008 Deerhunter Weird Era Cont.3.5Times New Viking Stay Awake3.0Vivian Girls Vivian Girls3.0Deerhunter Microcastle3.0Beck Modern Guilt2.5Jay Reatard Singles 06-073.0The War On Drugs Wagonwheel Blues4.0Weezer The Red Album1.5Fleet Foxes Fleet Foxes2.5M83 Saturdays=Youth3.5When it's good it's really good.

So it's basically earlier mixes of songs that were on that album. It's really good but it made WWB kind of a rip-off because nearly all the songs on WWB were on this.Endless Boogie Focus Level4.52007 Radiohead In Rainbows3.0MGMT Oracular Spectacular3.5A Place to Bury Strangers A Place to Bury Strangers3.0The White Stripes Icky Thump3.0Black Moth Super Rainbow Dandelion Gum3.5Wilco Sky Blue Sky2.0Dungen Tio Bitar3.5Winters Black Clouds In Twin Galaxies4.0Chunky Melvins style riffage and concise songwriting make for a smart and tasty bit of doom-pop.Blonde Redhead 232.5Modest Mouse We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank2.5Panda Bear Person Pitch4.5Arcade Fire Neon Bible2.5Deerhunter Cryptograms4.0of Montreal Icons, Abstract Thee2.5of Montreal Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?4.0The Raveonettes Lust Lust Lust4.02006 Jay Reatard Blood Visions4.5Sean Lennon Friendly Fire3.0Beck The Information3.5Ratatat Classics4.0The Knife Silent Shout4.5Sonic Youth Rather Ripped2.5Primal Scream Riot City Blues1.5The Raconteurs Broken Boy Soldiers3.5The Flaming Lips At War with the Mystics3.5Yeah Yeah Yeahs Show Your Bones3.0Witch Witch3.5Psychic Ills Dins4.0Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins Rabbit Fur Coat3.5Cat Power The Greatest3.5The Strokes First Impressions of Earth3.02005 Boris Pink4.0Boards of Canada The Campfire Headphase3.0Broken Social Scene Broken Social Scene3.0My Morning Jacket Z4.0Ladytron Witching Hour3.0Wolf Parade Apologies to the Queen Mary3.0Sigur Ros Takk...3.0Devendra Banhart Cripple Crow4.0Giant Drag Hearts and Unicorns4.5Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Howl4.5The White Stripes Get Behind Me Satan3.0Gorillaz Demon Days4.0Beck Guero3.0Ryan Adams Cold Roses3.0Black Mountain Black Mountain3.02004 Grizzly Bear Horn of Plenty2.5The Zutons Who Killed The Zutons3.5The Faint Wet From Birth2.5Arcade Fire Funeral4.0The Black Keys Rubber Factory3.0Bjork Medulla3.0The Libertines The Libertines2.5The Hives Tyrannosaurus Hives3.0Dungen Ta Det Lugnt3.5Blonde Redhead Misery is a Butterfly3.5Devendra Banhart Rejoicing in the Hands3.0Modest Mouse Good News for People Who Love Bad News3.0Sonic Youth Sonic Nurse2.5TV on the Radio Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes3.0The Brian Jonestown Massacre Tepid Peppermint Wonderland: A Retrospective3.5Animal Collective Sung Tongs5.02003 Ryan Adams Rock 'n' Roll3.0Against Me!

If you like oddball stuff you'll find every track here a small well portioned slice of brilliance. The extremely lo-fi production (many of the tracks were supposedly recorded on an answering machine) lends an inimitable level of ambiance; sometimes rustic and at others incredibly eery.Yeah Yeah Yeahs Machine3.5Sigur Ros ( )4.0Broken Social Scene You Forgot It in People5.0Karate Some Boots4.5Absolutely brilliant album.
