Re: EOY 2018 Albums Spreadsheet Updates

Thought it might be fun to do a bit of groundless speculation on where the albums might end up in the next update based on the spreadsheet. I’d guess that Dirty Computer will be around 260ish, then Low and the Idles record will duel it out in the 400ish mark. Daytona will be around 500ish, with Hone...

Re: End of the decade is coming, predictions for top 5 EOD toppers?

I tend to think:
1. TPAB
2. MBDTF
3. Channel Orange
4. GKMC
5. Blackstar

Of which I am least confident of Blackstar’s position. That fifth position could be a bit of a lottery.

Re: AM Album/Song Discrepancies

A more recent example of this sort of thing that I could find was MGMT's Oracular Spectacular. It contains the third and fourth-most acclaimed songs of 2007, and "Electric Feel" also ranks highly. Yet the album itself is only ninth for 2007, and not in the top 500 of all time.

Re: Arcade Fire - Everything Now

It's okay. It's the first Arcade Fire album that, to me, doesn't sound like it was made by a world-class rock/pop band. The songwriting is often lazy, the production sometimes generic, and the lyrics skirt triteness and banality far too often for my liking. There's just way too much filler here to b...

Re: Classic albums with questionable lead singles

Before Jefferson Airplane released the singles "Somebody To Love" (which peaked at #5) and "White Rabbit" (which peaked at #8), both of which are now classics, RCA Victor decided to lead off their sophomore 1967 album, Surrealistic Pillow, with the pleasant but cheesy folk rock c...

Re: Faster Louder - The Most Overrated Albums of All Time

For perspective, the Australian artists whose albums these guys attack (Cut Copy, The Vines, Nick Cave, AC/DC, Powderfinger, The Avalanches, and Silverchair) would all be considered as "sacred cows" within Australian music writing circles in the same way that the international artists are ...

Re: Bands that are most famous in their native countries (and whether or not they deserve wider attention)

Australian here. Some of our most well-loved/iconic bands had some success overseas, like AC/DC, INXS, Midnight Oil, and Crowded House. In terms of an iconic band that really only made it big in Australia (our version of The Tragically Hip, I guess), I'd probably say Cold Chisel. That band belted ou...
