[Ivan Drago]

You're extremely amusing.

That's how I roll.

I listened to some of that Slagsmålsklubben that Llopin recommended. I really most of it.

[Thirdmango]

My brother gave me some Slagsmålsklubben and I was really quite impressed.

Now I wish I had more then a top four, but when it comes to music of this year, I've been a lot less into it as I've had no money, and what money I have had has gone to tv, so hopefully this list can expand at some point, but for now it's only a top 4, though I have other albums but I didn't feel like throwing them into a top list.

4. Ozomatli -- Don't Mess With The Dragon -- Ozomatli has been one of my favorite bands throughout the years and this cd is a very hip and up tempo album. I even heard some radio play which is good for these guys, they deserve it. Not the best album to start with, but it's a good rockin' album.

3. Queens of The Stoneage -- Eva Vulgaris -- QOTSA really has grown up in their past couple of albums and this one they try new things and really score on a lot of it. They have the hard, the soft, the crazy and the mellow.

2. Ween -- La Cucaracha -- Ween is my second favorite band of all time, and this album just makes them another notch up there. They go for such different things which they hadn't done before, such as a Steppenwolf like Jam and an old timey 40s rockabilly tune. This album is among the greats like White Pepper, Quebec and The Mollusk. Lots of different things and all working well together.

1. Nine Inch Nails -- Year Zero -- This album blew my socks off when I first heard it and even now I can't find a bad song on the cd. It's industrial rock at it's best. Reznor does some amazing things with computers to pull of this amazingly rockin' album. Even the cd itself is really cool as it changes when it's heated up. This is the best piece of music when it comes to industrial that I can think of.

Glad you loved the NIN album, Thirdmango.

While I love the story, I have to admit I was a little pissed off by it because I was working on a piece of short fiction with many of the same ideas.

Though I'm sure they're not new ideas at all - I was just ticked to find something released in recent popular culture, which would mean I'd probably get law-suited up the wazoo if I tried to have it published.

*le sigh*

Nice. I don't think it is near the quality of Quebec or The Mollusk - two amazing albums - but La Cucaracha does have a handful of great tracks. It lacks the cohesion of the previously mentioned albums, and is a little to disjointed.

Oh I do agree whole heartedly with this statement. It is quite disjointed, but I must say, I was blown away by Woman and Man.

Woman and Man seems like their new Voodoo Lady. I can see them playing longer, and longer versions of this live. One time I saw them they played a nearly 20 minute version of Voodoo Lady, it was awesome.

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

Heck yeah. Great song and great album.

Someone Great

Haven't heard much LCD but heard OF them plenty. I liked that song well enough.

Hate It Here

Yeah, dig Wilco. Great song.

Fireworks

Little much for me. But a good sound.

Wonderlust King

Dig very much.

Patton Oswalt - Werewolves & Lollipops. Funny as hell. But I couldn't justify knocking off any of the others for a comedy album.

Love this album. "Wow! It doesn't get any better than that!"

Perused some of the artists from this thread. Can't say I "get" Panda Bear. I liked several Patrick Wolf tracks though. I'm 50/50 on Kanye, Queens of the Stone Age. Love NIN. My old roommate is an Avett Brothers fan but I can't listen to em. Guy's voice is so harsh, and not in a "lived-in" kinda way, just in a "Gah! turn something else on" kinda way. Roommate got married recently and used "Swept Away" in the wedding. Nice song, but I just don't like that guy's voice.
