Generally it can be summed up as rock, punk or metal (except nu-metal* *shudders*) with an eclectic mix of other stuff getting thrown in occasionally. I seem to be getting more into industrial and gothic stuff recently though, probably thanks to forum influcence
 since I seem to end up listening to most of the bands I see mentioned.* SOAD being kept neatly out of that category since they are amazing. Disclaimer: If I contradict myself then it's probably because I'm useless at genres  .

QUOTE (Tarantio @ Oct 3 2004, 03:32 PM) /me thwaps commie for being a smart bastage. I still haven't found much else this year that has really blown me away. The Killers had a few good songs on theirs (ok, a few very good songs), but the album felt like it was lacking something. And Modest Mouse are pretty good, but again they have a sort of splintered feeling to their work too. What year was the Yeah Yeah Yeah's last album released in? I think it was '03 or '02, but I'm not sure. Only just started listening to it though, and its the best thing I've heard all year, but then it doesn't count (I think). QUOTE (Tarantio @ Oct 27 2004, 12:04 PM) QUOTE (MrTeapot @ Oct 26 2004, 09:24 PM) Ohh a new Power Metal release. Must go buyee when I have cash. I'm still loving the Modest Mouse album, Good news for people who love bad news, so I'm casting my vote though the Nick Cave does come close in second (thanks for the tip Commie). I'm sorta hooked on that at the moment too... don't know what it is about it, but its one of those rare albums that doesn't seem to be missing anything at all. Also its got some of the best lyrics I've heard on any album in a very long time. Certainly better than Snow Patrol's lyrics. :| I should probably pay more attention to what I write... Anyone spot the oopsie? Just to make myself clearer, I DO think that Good News for People who Love Bad News is fantastic, it was only on my first few listens that it felt splintered and hard to get into. Now, though, I still haven't stopped listening to it... -------------------- When, will I, will I be famous?

Now, though, I still haven't stopped listening to it... Don't sweat it, Taz. It's one of those albums that takes a few listens before it all starts to make sense as a coherent whole. Every track reminds me of a different band - the main constant being Talking Heads - but the album still has a sense of identity that holds it together. Just about... Regarding the SFA vs. Blur query, I don't mind a bit of Blur - though I do, as FU pointed out, have certain strong feelings about their frontman - but SFA are in a different league in terms of creativity and willingness to experiment. Each one of their albums is different to the last, constantly pushing the indie-pop-rock envelope, and yet they all still sound quintessentially Furries. The best of is a good start, but there are so many album tracks that are simply essential. Back on the topic, my opinions about the best releases so far remain constant, but judging by his new single, if Conor Oberst can get the new Bright Eyes album out in time, he'll be in with a shout for a top ten placing easily. Really, check out 'Lua' by Bright Eyes. The B-side - 'Well Whisky' - is great, too. -------------------- the end is nice |

Awroight, monkeys - the last of the new releases has hit the shelves, so it's time to vote y'rself stupid.
In a top five stylee - 1. Modest Mouse - 'Good News...' 2. Nick Cave - 'Lyre Of Orpheus/Abattoir Blues' 3. Aberfeldy - 'Young Forever' 4. Scissor Sisters - 'Scissor Sisters' 5. Beta Band - 'Heros To Zeros' Honorable mentions go to Mark Lanegan Band's 'Bubblegum', The Zutons' 'Who Killed The Zutons?' and Dillinger Escape Plan's 'Miss Machine' - fine albums all. On a re-release note, kudos to Super Furry Animals and Supergrass for showing how retrospective compilations should be made, and mad props to the team behind the 10th Anniversary edition of Manic Street Preacher's seminal 'Holy Bible - a quality package, which is just fitting for such a sublimely misanthropic album. -------------------- the end is nice |

I ordered that as a single from my local record store a couple of weeks ago and i was so happy when it came in. I'd been starved of Bright Eyes for far too long...Conor Oberst is such a fantastic lyricist. I don't know when 'Lifted' came out, but i bought it very early this year...if it was out in 2004 then it has to be my favourite of the year. If not, then Straylight Run get my vote.

Personally I think that one of the most interesting albums of the year is by a 'hip-hip' group called Clouddead, with the album Ten.
I put hip-hop in inverted commas because it really isn't like most other hip-hop at all (a genre that I'm mostly not very fussed about). It's packed full of beautifully layered vocal samples speaking of Dadaist scenes and urban isolation, all over wonderful and strange loops from bizarre low-fi sources. I know for certain that I'm going to be listening to it for many years yet, and that to me is the sign of a good album. Another choice would be one that InKy mentioned, The Scissor Sisters album. They follow in the footsteps of The Avalanches album 'Since I Left You' in that they update disco to a modern sensibility and prove that it really was one of the best beats in the world to dance to (if only you can put away your self respect and do it!). -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

I heard cLOUDDEAD a few years ago on a Peel session and they were really good. I tend to get bored of their music after a while though, so I've not listened to their albums much. Meh.
Best album of the year: Fiery furnaces - Blueberry boat (one of the most bizarre and eclectic albums I've heard, but still coherant in its own unique way) Honerable mention: Estradasphere - Passion for life (genre bending madness in the vain of Mr Bungle, but so much more fun) Arovane - Lilies Manic street preachers - Lifeblood Converge - You fail me CocoRosie - La maison de mon rêve (fun pretty lofi bluesy stuff) Ditty bops - Self titled (more fun pretty stuff) Dresden dolls - Self titled (just a singer, a piano and a drumkit but my god they rock) Les savy fav - Inches (a great introduction to one of the liveliest and coolest bands ever) Still don't think much of Good news... It's not *bad*, but I can't see myself listening to it often. Meh. *sticks The Moon and Antarctica in the tray*  [/edit] |

I like how Mutilation determined the thread ended because of his decision /unnecessarily evil has been minimized. And grey-ed.
My top five (in no particular order) would have to be: Incubus' "A Crow Left of the Murder" Scissor Sisters' self titled Interpol's "Antics" Modest Mouse's "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" Franz Ferdinand's self titled -------------------- can I kiss your dopamine?

I've not enjoyed Incubus' new album, which is a shame, as I usually find them fun.
However, I have recently been shown the fun of the Blood Brothers' 'Crimes', and I suggest people go give that a listen. -------------------- Half Iago. Half Fu Manchu. All bastard.

I'm going to stick with my previous choices, which would have changed had NIN actually released their new album this month instead of putting it off until March.

It's not my opinion, it's in the NME. That's why I said it was official. THE NME STOPS EVERYTHING.

So nice to meet another who has fallen under Oberst's spell. On that note, I spotted something on our new release schedule that made my heart skip - two (TWO!!!) Bright Eyes albums down for a January 24th release. I didn't recognise either title, so even if one is a re-release, I still don't own it. Mind you, my collection features 'Lifted...', 'Fevers And Mirrors', the 'Lua' single and the 'One Jug Of Wine, Two Vessels' split EP with Neva Dinova. There's more out there, and I need it! To follow my earlier post in a more on-topic fashion, I can't believe I forgot to mention Green Day's latest. A career highlight, and certainly present in my top ten. Still, things are looking good for Modest Mouse and Scissor Sisters thus far. On a final note, bollocks to the NME. Fat hairy badger's nadgers. -------------------- the end is nice |

I'd just like to thank everyone in this thread (and thirty second clips from Amazon.com) for helping me loads with coming up with my Christmas list.
