I loved Junior....a lot. I really over-hyped Senior for myself, I suppose, but the disappointment here was quite intense.
Thank fucking christ at least one of these lists wasn't too scared to admit that Taylor is writing circles around people twice her age and released one of the albums of the year. She isn't reinventing the wheel, but fuck me if that LP isn't filled with just straight up great pop songs.
I still have only heard Junior and Senior. I get so caught up in trying to listen to everything that has ever come out, ever, that I sometimes miss truly discovering the bands I already like .
Haha, I know how that can go. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the first two when you get to hear them, both are good stuff!
Good hell, I've only heard Candy Shoppe by Emeralds, and absolutely love it. It's like a weird mixture of Four Tet and M83. Hopefully it's not the only good thing on the album, as I have a music boner now.
i remember really enjoying the new Here We Go Magic album. if you haven't heard it, i highly suggest it.
I think the only 5 I gave out was to Winter of Mixed Drinks and that's not even my #1 for the year
oooh. while it probably wouldn't make my top 10, i do now have the urge to listen to this again. i really liked this album.
Ratings are all so arbitrary. 5 might mean "perfect" for one person, or just "better than 80%" for another.
fuck pitchfork.
i liked the spin list, not so much because i actually liked the list itself (call me close-minded, but i can't support a list with kanye at the top, sorry. i know the album is supposed to be excellent and everything, but i'm never going to hear it because his stuff has always 100% irritated the shit out of me and i am 99% certain this one won't be any different. just don't like it), but the video thing at the bottom made me hear titus andronicus and that song just made me happy.
