deets and more info behind the
cut..
i was gonna get verbose here and give each cd a paragraph or two, but not happening.
quick runthrough:
kanye: easy #1. top 10 album for me all-time.
fear before: don't call it a comeback! best followup to a shitty cd ever.
arcade fire: who thought they could get close to their Funeral success? Intervention = Beautiful
crime in stereo - YES I LIKE CRIME IN STEREO'S NEW SOUND. i am a sell out and they are pussies. this cd owns, and so do their first two, just in different ways. i feel like i'm arguing with my high school self.
bright eyes: how can one guy make so many freaking jams?
juno ost: wow. this cd is a little out there, but its amazing.
warriors: BRINGING THE HARDCORE REALITY. +10 for lemmy and crazy artwork.
wyclef: solid freaking cd.
comeback kid: they shouldn't have told anyone they changed vocalists. i had no idea.
chiodos: i like this cd like i liked p!atd. at least this hasn't been played the fuck out. good freaking cd.
honorables:
darkest hour: metalcore is pretty dead for me. i still love DA.
btbam: intense freaking album. way to rebound from that terrible album of covers.
minus the bear: haven't listened to this enough to give it a top 10 spot. i'll probably regret this looking back next year.
jay-z: young hova strikes again. roc boys - jam of the year.
ptw: very different. i think the 16 year old in me wants to hear more "nerdy." I will not accept ptw having a new sound. even if it might be better. :(
dishonorables:
thursday: unreleased tracks, for a reason. the 3 new tracks: very weak. brand new album in 2008 better blow my god damn socks off.
maylene: pussies.
[2003] [2004] [2005] [2006]
didn't do this in 2006. don't know why not. maybe i'll go back in time and repost it.
nah, who am i kidding.
see you next year.
