Sharon Van Etten - Tramp

Beatles, The - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band One of the most fitting albums to listen to on Valentine's Day! Sleigh Bells - Reign Of Terror

Finn, Craig - Clear Heart Full Eyes

As much as you love this idea, it just will not work out. The audience of the Super Bowl came to watch a football game. And while they may love Bill Callahan and Lambchop, their music will ruin mood and tempo of the spectacle and idea of the event. This is why you are not an NFL event coordinator. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG2KMkQLZmI Music and Give Me All Your Love was absolutely dreadful. As for Vogue and Like A Prayer, even though I don't like them, they weren't dreadful renditions and I could understand why people would like those songs.

So this is the thread where if someone disagrees or judges your favorite band, you reveal your opinion and defend it even though there's no attack on your opinion? If you read the The Whole Love review, the writer only complained about the inconsistency. Besides, the scores are just an arbitrary guide. If you converted the 100 point system [just move that decimal over to the right] to stars system, you guys would not be complaining at all. Wilco (The Album) would receive 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5. Rolling Stone's initial score doesn't draw as much ire as Pitchfork when they only gave Yankee

A Place To Bury Strangers - Onwards To The Wall

What a setlist. Please tell me someone was recording. And if so, I will kiss the tapers (only if they're comfortable with it though).

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die Let's see whether the backlash or the hype will win for Ms. Gangstress Nancy Sinatra. I do miss the "let me fuck you hard in the pouring rain, you like your girls insane" line.

Leonard Cohen - Old Ideas So nice for a Sunday afternoon/evening. Gonjasufi - MU.ZZ.LE

Pop. 1280 - The Horror There's something offensive and pungent yet intriguing about this sound. Chairlift - Something

Guided By Voices - Let's Go Eat The Factory

I thought TV On The Radio made a good album, but not quite great. M83's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is very good: it's like a giant John Hughes tribute.

Jay-Z and Kanye West - Watch The Throne M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming Anyone else own this have a problem inputting the Mirror code on the M83 website? I can't seem to get the code to work.

The Weeknd - Echoes Of Silence

I am in perfect congruence with you. They just seem to swell with emotion and earnestness at every perfect and calculated arc. It's like they're desperately trying to empathize with you with every vague event. They can make all the music they want, but they really are a label's act trying to make money by pandering emotionally as widely as possible. There is no beauty; it's just Splenda.

There's the Jeff Tweedy-solo harmonica based version. There's the harmonica-based band version that's not as noisy nor anti-solo-y as the album version that's on Being There version. Then there's the one where it sounds like a noisy rock song that you'll find on Being There, modified with Nels' blessing. It's got some pretty, uh, titanic and trench diving moments. I'm definitely a bigger fan of the version closest to Being There, the latter.

Oh, what the deuce. This is what I miss for not coming out to the Chicago shows?! Favorite version [full band electric, no harmonica] of favorite song [sunken Treasure]? /sad /excited

You have to remember they're still promoting their newest album. They're still adjust setlists. They're learning to lean less on Spiders, I'm A Wheel, and I'm The Man Who Loves You. 1. Nels fits fine. Pat has moments to shine. Same with Michael (turn up the damn volume for him during A Shot In The Arm). Glenn has some moments to shine too. Wilco have already stated that they're attempting to pool together different influences into one sound. 2. Noise jam is fine. In fact, it's beautiful and perfect. If you don't understand the reason it's there, then don't mess with it. There's se

Wow, this sounded quite rowdy.

I find it too difficult to associate Bodhisattva with champagne, cocaine, California, or even soft rock.

Yeah, I'm quite enamored with Kaputt as well. It's so gorgeous. But, I get the feeling that most of ViaChicago loves Kaputt as much as they love Beth/Rest. As for how Destroyer got to this point musically, we may never know since this is still a radical departure from their last album, Trouble In Dreams. Destroyer released Bay Of Pigs, the last song, on an EP a year earlier, and that's when I had to look at Destroyer again. Kaputt certainly deserves more love.

I guess it's time for me to revive this thread since I was the one to complain about it. Let us usher the end of 2011 into the present, 14 days early! 05 Drake - Take Care 04 PJ Harvey - Let England Shake 03 Weeknd, The - House Of Balloons 02 Destroyer - Kaputt 01 James Blake - James Blake I sure do wish we weren't limited to top 5. :/

I don't see a problem with it: the tracklisting really works well, wandering from Calgary to Lisbon, OH. Both of those transition pretty well and invoke that weird sort of nostalgia. And yes, it does remind me of a Lionel Richie album, but that's not such an awful. Even the short-sighted kids didn't understand that Grouper is just Enya. I guess I now understand why people seemed to dislike and or hate Destroyer's Kaputt.

I don't understand. Why do people dislike Beth/Rest? You will have to clarify. I'm truly on the opposite side of the fence, and don't know why there seems to be such a knee-jerk reaction. The Black Keys - El Camino Tom Waits - Bad As Me
