Why not make a MCCH of AM'ers? To do this, we need eachother that users publish their lists here valued the albums from 0 to 100 points (or 0 to 10 points). In this thread have posted the following comments am'ers (sorry if I forgot anyone) a) rating albums: HRS; DocBrown, Romain; b) lists of album...

About 5 years ago my friends and I discovered a project entitled "The Beatles Never Broke Up", which is a mashup album of solo Beatles work in order to create a fictional final album entitled "Everyday Chemistry". This is a song we used to play a lot from it- http://www.youtube.c...

I haven't heard that many albums either, but so far I would go with Cloud Nothings - Here and Nowhere Else by a fair margin. It's not out yet but I have a press release (which reminds me I have 2 weeks left to write a review) Whoa, that's really cool! Who do you write for? I'm writing for http://ww...

I agree! Very Springsteen. Although it's a full hour long, the songs seem to go by pretty quickly- an impressive feat as many of the songs are over 7 minutes long.

Nick

For me, my favorites would be "Benji" and "St. Vincent", which are the only two albums from 2014 *that I've heard) I'd call excellent.

Couldn't agree more about todd terje. Can't remember the last time I was anticipating an album this much. Inspector Norse is easily one of the songs of the decade for me. Literally everything I've heard from the album so far has been amazing. "Inspector Norse" and "Strandbar" ar...

Nick

Mark my words. Once Todd Terje releases his debut in April, everybody is going to be going crazy over it. 9.3 from Pitchfork, 4.5/5 from AMG, etc.

The Last Shadow Puppet's album is called "The Age of the Understatement", not "The Age of Understatement" like this website lists it as.

I LOVE it when works of art make me horrified or depressed. Maybe that's because you have not yet had those things happen to you in real life. Don't give me that. Whenever I'm depressed I take comfort in art that focuses on such feelings. It reminds me that the negativity I'm feeling isn't somethin...

What albums that are due to be released this year are you all looking forward to? These are the ones that are on my radar- Real Estate- Atlas- March 4th Elbow- The Take Off and Landing Of Everything- March 10th Metronomy- Love Letters- March 10th Cloud Nothings- Here and Nowhere Else- April 1st Todd...

So television and film are perfectly acceptable mediums to enjoy when it comes to storytelling, but anyone who enjoys literature is immature? Ooooooookay then. It's just as valid as claiming that someone who doesn't like literature is immature. Like I said from the beginning, there's no correlation...

Well as Bob Dylan once said- "Don't criticize what you can't understand."

Does your aversion to fiction also extend to television and film? Because those are certainly stories as well.

Nick

Maybe you've matured a bit since high school and are now better suited to appreciate literature? Being mature and appreciating literature have nothing to do with each other. In fact, an immature child would be more likely to be interested in stories than a mature man. This is why all of the world's...

Now that the first 2 months of 2014 are pretty much over, I can justify to myself posting another update on what I've heard- Very Good: 1. Sun Kil Moon- Benji 2. St. Vincent- St. Vincent Good: 3. Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra- Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light on Everything 4. Schoolboy Q- O...

Just listened to the new St. Vincent album. It's really good, similar to "Strange Mercy" with enough tweaks to her style to keep things interesting. Right now I'd say it's my second favorite album of the year, behind "Benji". "Benji" is going to make all of my future vi...

I just saw them last Thursday! Deerhunter was the opening act and I had no idea until about half way through their first song! Needless to say, both acts were great live.

I'm a huge fan of both Blur and Oasis, but even I think they're a bit overrepresented on this list.

However, I'm hoping that this list will help boost their artist rankings after a significant fall for both of them last update.
