ugh, i thought that album was a bunch of turgid bull shit. that is the problem with omar, or even mars volta, they have no restraint. its like a bunch of mediocre ideas thrown up all over an album. |

Nice pun. edit: I'm not sure that it is a pun, but it made me smile.

I'm not sure where it would've wound up, but I really enjoy the Devastations' Yes, U. It's completely heartbreaking, optimistic, grooving, and eerie--- sometimes simultaneously (see: "An Avalanche of Stars")

Miracle Fortress - Five RosesRichard Hawley - Lady's BridgeBoth of these would make my top 20 now. Five Roses is gorgeous - thanks to Raving Lunatic, who I think was the first to mention it. I first noticed Lady's Bridge in the points-per-vote tabulation and that was enough to get me to pick it up and sample it when I saw it in the store. Beautiful and old-fashioned in the best possible way (meaning my mom actually even likes it!). Speaking of list regrets, I'd definitely swap my #1 and #2 now... As much as I love the National, In Rainbows is by far the album I play the most from last year. I have a feeling it'll only continue to get better with time.

Awesome! I'm glad to hear another person is enjoying this one. It really is gorgeous. I just hear the first few seconds of each song and I'm transported to a land of milk and honey. And it seems like his melodies are perfect too, as if no other melody but the one he sings could possibly work. I'm really in love with this one. quote: Originally posted by blueskyoas:

I'm embarrassed that I left Radiohead completely off my list, because it's really grown on me as well. I should never have doubted these guys. |

HA HA! I told my mom a couple months ago I was going to burn this and Cole's Corner for her, but haven't go it yet. She'll dig it. Speaking of Cole's Corner, have you heard it? It's more of the same, only better. |

No, I haven't - yet another to add to my list. Hmm, maybe I should get it as a gift for Mom and then copy it for myself.

Burial and Bon Iver would have been higher up. Patrick Wolf would have been lower. That's about it  .

Lucky Soul would have been much higher.

Sweet! The fact that you picked up new music that you like based on the points-per-vote list means it worked!

As a side note. I feel no regret for not including Radiohead on my top ten last year. I honestly had completely forgotten about it for several months. I am a long time fan of the group. I have been for a decade. Why is it that Rainbows fails to completely blow me away? The Snake, The Cross, The Crown have been rolling heavy on my car stereo over the past few days. "Back to the Helicopter" is an amazing song to drive to on the highway in the sunlight. I loved the album before, but I think it is making even more sense in the bright warm summer than it did in the cold dark winter.

I probably said it a while back, but Low's Drums & Guns would certainly be top five. I love that album so much. Shad's The Old Prince would be top twenty as well.

I don't know how I missed out on this for so long, but I have really been getting into Agitated Radio Pilot's "World Winding Down". It's an electronic inflected freak-folk album with vocals similar to Matt Berringer's (sp?). The album is very long (it's a double album actually) and there are a lot of instrumental tracks. It actually fills a similar place in my heart to "April", so if you like Sun Kil Moon than this is probably right up your alley. Would have definitely been top 20 for me, maybe even top 15...

Will have to listen to this then. Big fan of the National, and I enjoy Sun Kil Moon as well... |
