Like all other music blogs around I'm listing my Favorite Albums of this year.
There are so many lists out there now that The thinking man posted the Ten Commandments for making Best-of lists...
- Kings of Leon - Only by the Night: "they sold out", "they want to be U2"... just my favorite album of this year.
Closer - The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia: Greg Dulli & Mark Lanegan just sing from the gut. Dark, painful and beautiful.
The Stations - MGMT - Oracular Spectacular: from the first time I heard "time to Pretend" I just knew this is going to be a good one.
Kids - M83 - Saturdays = Youth: the sound isn't as dark as before but there is still that "feel" underneath the popy tunes.
Kin & Jessie - Bloc Party - Intimacy: I was a bit disappointed at first, expecting some progression from the previous one but more of the same is also OK.
One Month Off - Radiohead - In Rainbows: This one got more attention for the way it was released then for the songs. Maybe to many songs to digest at once but still another solid one from maybe the best band around.
Reckoner Remix - TV on the Radio - Dear Science: This one got so many praises I don't think I can match them here.Check out the whole album on MySpace.
- Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid: The album has this slow and patient feel to it, along with some rockier tunes it's one my favorites.
Grounds for Divorce - The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely: Rock'n'Roll + Jack White , I don't need to add more.
Old Enough - Brendan Canning - Something for All of Us: Continuing the Broken Social Scene sound this albums doesn't disappoint the fans (like me).
