Death Cab For Cutie - 'The Open Door'
I did a top 3 EPs on the fly, but I totally forgot about this one. This probably is my real favorite.
I'm a Plans apologist, but the EP was certainly better than Narrow Stairs, which only had two good (scratch that. fantastic) songs ("Bixby" and "Possess").
"Marching Bands of Manhattan" ...... as good as anything they've ever done.
"Soul Meets Body," "Someday You Will Be Loved," and "Your Heart is an Empty Room" are terribly pedestrian tracks. "Crooked Teeth" isn't a favorite of mine either, but there is a lot to like on there. "Marching Bands of Manhattan" and "Brothers on a Hotel BedMothers on a Brothel Bed" are as good as anything they've ever done.
I can't do favorite song lists anymore. I just can't. I have lost the ability to properly discern tracks in that way.
There are some more albums I want to listen to, but they're pretty much the same as ones everyone else has already listed, so fuck it, here's my top twenty:
1. Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavillion
2. The Dead Weather – Horehound
3. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – It’s Blitz!
4. Phoenix – Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
5. Doves – Kingdom of Rust
6. Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest
7. The xx – xx
8. Passion Pit – Manners
9. Dirty Projectors – Bitte Orca
10. Girls – Album
11. U2 – No Line on the Horizon
12. St. Vincent – Actor
13. The Flaming Lips – Embryonic
14. Arctic Monkeys – Humbug
15. We Were Promised Jetpacks – These Four Walls
16. Fruit Bats – The Ruminant Band
17. White Rabbits – It’s Frightening
18. Mute Math – Armistice
19. Future of the Left – Travels with Myself and Another
20. Franz Ferdinand – Tonight: Franz Ferdinand
good list. i, for some reason, have not heard of The Dead Weather. what are they like. kudos for ranking Doves so high.
I can't do favorite song lists anymore. I just can't. I have lost the ability to properly discern tracks in that way.
Neither can I. I'm too album-oriented to differentiate between songs anymore.
