1. On And On, Jack Johnson-*** 1/2

3. Blade Runner OST, Vangelis-****
4. Boy, U2-*** 1/2
5. Bon Iver, Bon Iver-*** 1/2
6. Break It Yourself, Andrew Bird-***
I like too many albums, but I've gotten lazy to the point of just listening to stuff I think I'll like/artists I'm a fan of. Although I'm thinking more *** for that Bird album-he's done far better, and I liked the Bon Iver a lot more than I really should have.

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns

This description definitely caught my attention, I'll have to check them out sometime.Quoting sevenarts (view post)
Have you heard Satori? That's their 'canon' LP, you should check it out first (though I haven't heard the one sevenarts mentioned; should).
No, but I was searching them on RYM last night and saw that it was their most popular, so yea I'll probably give it a listen first.
Yeah, Satori is probably better, I've had that one for ages but for some reason have only just gotten around to some of their other albums. Anywhere (their debut) is amazing in a totally different way, since it's all radical covers, while Satori (their 2nd album) is original material. Can't go wrong with either one, I'd say, and their next 2 albums after those are pretty good too.

This is still, by far, the best album I heard this year. It's also a top ten all time great album. A masterpiece.
