UnfortunatelyEveryone did.
I didn't really like it as much as there older stuff like rubber factory and thickfreakness. That was a lot more bluesy which I enjoyed if you know what I mean...listening to Brothers by the Black Keys / having a religious moment
if you haven't heard the new albums from those artists, kindly refrain from making sweeping statements such as this.
I liked Brothers, but IMO it wasn't as good as Thickfreakness, or Rubber Factory.Brothers is amazing
Ghost is one of my favorite rappers ever, not for his WTF-are-you-rapping-about tough talking tracks but his storytelling abilities. He is one of the best story tellers since Sick Rick IMO. Having said that, Apollo Kids is no Fishscale or Supreme Clientele, but it's still very good. I'd put it slightly below Ironman.been listening to the new ghostface album for a while and it alright. ive never been a fan of his rapping style (technically impressive rapping about pretty much nothing in a kind of annoying voice), but his albums always have some pretty great beats and this is no exception. purified thoughts stands up with my favourite tracks of his including "one", but even on tracks like that i space ghostface out and just shout OOOONE on cue. i never really liked supreme clientele that much tbh.
if you like supreme clientele more than i do definitely check it out. everyone should listen to purified thoughts though, thats the kind of lush, soul-y beat blueprint era jay-z rapped over and it sounds amazing even if ghostface doesnt really have much of a persona or charisma on it.
you're welcome; I was sure you'd like The Rural Alberta Advantage. Andrew Jackson Jihad contains way more punk elements than either and I don't enjoy them as much either (but still a lot more than you apparently do >.<)Also, thanks for telling me about The Rural Alberta Advantage, they are one of my favorite bands now. Wasn't as enthusiastic about Andrew Jackson Jihad though :/
everything you like is crap!Yea, no. Deathcore is crap.
After reading your post about her, I downloaded I Speak Because I Can. It is definitely my favorite album that I have listened to in quite a while. I love the asiatic tones that persist throughout the album (these are especially evident in Alpha Shallows). Afterwards, I went back and downloaded Alas I Cannot Swim and loved it just as much. I've been listening to the two albums on shuffle for the past few days. Thanks for bringing her up! I particularly enjoy her lyrics as you pointed out (I especially like My Maniac and I from Alas I Cannot Swim, "He wants to die in a lake in Geneva / the mountains can cover the shape of his nose, / he wants to die where nobody can see him / but his death will carry on, so I don't believe him".)im retroactively listening to laura marling's i speak because i can from earlier this year and its creeped into my top albums. definitely folk album of the year, her way with words and acoustic guitars appeals to the part of my brain that has an unhealthy obession with joanna newsom (and fleet foxes to a lesser degree). some of the lyrics are just amazing folk-type imagery:
"standing eye to eye, nose to nose/
ripping off each others clothes in a most peculiar way"
"my husband left me last night/
left me a poor and lonely wife/
i cooked the meals and he got the life"
anyone else listen to this?
Yup. My brother owns the single version. My mother and he used to play it in the car just to make me rage.Everyone did.
Yeah Boy was not my favorite song on the album, not a bad song, but I prefer kansai and you and I know. Yeah the cellist is pretty hot, i've seen Ra Ra Riot in concert twice, and the last time was a small gig at my school (no more than 250 people total). I was pretty much a few inches from being able to reach out and touch the stage, so it was pretty cool seeing them play that close up.I don't feel like checking every page in here, but definitely my favourite song that came out this year (and possible even without that specificiation) is Boy by Ra Ra Riot. Ra Ra Riot is pretty awesome, sounds similar to Arcade Fire if I had to compare it but with more lofty and interesting vocals as well as a violinist and cellist. As an added bonus, the cellist and the violinist are both pretty hot, the cellist especially (she's TAY's avatar, methinks).
this made me facepalm so fucking hard i gave myself a headache.the best thing that happened for music in 2010 is the beetles coming to i-tunes!
lol my dad has like every record of them and the quality is crap so i just bought them on i-tunes :D
