cooperissup3r Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 my album of the year by a wide margin... felt that halfway through my first listen lol. though i feel this year has been lacking severely in great albums (lot of good to very good ones though), so this one hit me like a ton of bricks. after a road rip where i played it all the way through 4x at loud volume a couple months back I realized I like it more than Teen Dream even, which i never imagined. now if only they'd announce a Minneapolis show... dying to see them again and these songs live. new Tallest Man on Earth might take mine...I don't really do album of the year, but it's so damn good.

choo-choo-charlie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Another young artist obsessed with throwback sounds. Mr. Waterhouse digs vintage R&B, and it's damn good. Also listening to "Someday Baby" by The Dough Rollers. Dirty, stripped-down blues with raw, raspy vocals. Good stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 new Tallest Man on Earth might take mine...I don't really do album of the year, but it's so damn good. i don't like it nearly as much as the first two so far i do like it a ton, but i feel the complaints of "rehash" that people had with Wild Hunt after Shallow Grave are feelings I felt through my first 3-4 listens the other day. 1904 is amazing, and there's probably 3-4 other great songs on it, but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't still a bit let down by it. here's hoping it grows on me with repeated listens, but i've already gone back to my other rotation for now.

solace Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 That's kind of how I felt. Been a struggle for me to connect to much this year but this one and the Lanegan one are my top choices so far. i didn't care for Funeral Blues first time i listened through, but after seeing him last Friday i've come around on it... i still don't care for stuff like 'Ode To Sad Disco' too much however, but he's one of my all time favorite singers for sure. Riot In My House and St. Louis Elegy just killed live though. Link to post Share on other sites

I feel the same way. After the initial "new TMOE record!" excitement, it's kind of faded. The first three or four songs are really solid, but the middle lags pretty badly.

augurus Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Walkmen, The - HeavenI really expected a powerhouse single followed by a consistently decent/good album. All I'm getting is the latter. Maybe I should stop yearning for We've Been Had, The Rat, Lost In Boston, In The New Year, and Angela Surf City. Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros - HereI didn't think Nostalgia could sound awful. As Jubal Early best puts it, "well, here I am."Also, I thought M.I.A. takes the crown for worst album covers ever. She's got some competition. Sigur Rós - Valtari Link to post Share on other sites
