Music of 2012


GLASSJAW

Recommended Posts

new Swans album got a big, fat 9.0 on p4k.

If I'm not mistaken, it's over 2 hours long, too.

I thought "my father will guide me up a rope..." was one of the best albums of 2010, although I haven't listened to it much lately.

excited to hear this.

Speaking of Nick Cave, are any of you going to see that "Lawless" movie?

The screenplay was written by Nick Cave, and it's directed by John Hillcoat. The pair worked on Nick Cave's previous movie "The Proposition" which was quite good, actually.

"Lawless" is being pumped up like some mindless action movie in ads, but the Hillcoat and Cave are above that, I'd like to think.

Some notes on the Pitchfork list.

Glad to see Sufjan Stevens, Neutral Milk Hotel, Wilco, and Radiohead's In Rainbows in the top 10, and Bons Ivers debut, and Modest Mouses Moon and Antarctica in the top 10, some of my all time favorite albums.

I dont understand the appeal of Animal Collectives Merriweather Post Pavillion, i find it painful sitting through that whole album. I find Fleet Foxes a bore and overrated.

Happy to see Broken Social Scene's Forgot it in People up so high, what an album that is.

like that whole Phoenix album actually Glassjaw,, much better than their previous albums.

Id put that Sigur Ros album better than 45, brilliant album.. Id give a better rating for Modest Mouses Good News..., i dont care if Modest Moouse purists dont llike it as much as their previious albums, that album has such a great vibe to it. Id give Built to Spills Keep it like a secret a better rating as well. And The New Pornographers Twin Cinema so low is a tragedy.

Prefer the Nationals Alligator to Boxer.

Nice to see two Daft Punk albums on the list. Love that Of Montreal album. Refreshing to see that St Vincent album getting some attention. Likewsie Crystal Castles debut.

WOuld have liked to have seen some Hayden, Idlewild, Eels, and John Frusciante make the list.

I can't listen to MPP straight through anymore either. In fact, I only ever listen to one or two songs from it. I still think FEELS is AC's best album, by leaps and bounds

What do you recommend by Eels? Pitchfork has never given any of their (his?) albums a remotely good review that I can remember.

Fleet Foxes... a bore! I'll ignore that bit!
