Oh yeah, the album title is horrible at best, but the production alone makes it worth a listen. Plus, Bowie does a guest vocal on one song. Come ON.
Hey, I hardly love everything I've heard this year either. Los Campesinos (LOOK AT US, WE'RE REALLY FUCKING CLEVER, I PROMISE!) and The Hold Steady's (same old, same old, and whenever they try to mix things up, they phail epically...Boys And Girls In America wasn't that great anyway) recent records are pretty bad, and I've only wanked over a couple of albums this year.
Alright, I'll give it a shot and see what I make of it.
Oh god, The Hold Steady. Their music is even worse than their band name, which is quite the achievement. What are the couple of albums you have enjoyed from this year? Little known fact is that I am actually on the lookout for more good music that isn't metal, prog, or post-rock.
