tauiwi Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Oh my god, the gorillaz album. It is so much better than their past albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Personally I still think demon days is a stronger album but then again I've only given plastic beach one listen so far. Is anyone else looking forward to the upcoming Foals album? for those of you impressed by two door cinema club try out Foals you will hopefully be very impressed as they have much more sophisticated sound.

MrMagpie Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I found it took a few listens before the Gorillaz album really blew me away. I think it has some substance to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauiwi Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Yeah I agree, took me a few listens too. It's just a great modern pop album. Can't wait to review it. As for new Foals, YES excited the first track previewed is impressive. I see NME have a track-by-track preview but I think I can wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaths_friend Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 we're at the end of march and quarter of the way through the year so here's my fave stuff of the year Teen Dream - Beach House easily the best album of the year so far. the melodies are stunning, the vocals are near perfect and the album flows effortlessly. the grizzly bear of 2010. but from what ive heard from long time fans of the band this record is quite different from their previous works. Tourist History - Two Door Cinema Club yeah its generic, yeh it sounds like every other indie pop record going around but who cares! its upbeat, catchy, easy to listen to and helluva lot of a fun. the sound really takes me back to the summer of 07 when i was first getting alternative music, this genre was everywhere! I Speak Because I Can - Laura Marling dont like it as much as her debut but i still cant get enough of it. One Life Stand - Hot Chip never really listened to these guys before but loving their work on this album. the title track is my fave track of the year Contra - Vampire Weekend i really doubted VM's ability to make another awesome record after their debut. but they proved me wrong and im very glad they did. cant wait to see them 6 weeks. Rush to Relax - Eddy Current Suppression Ring a good follow up to Primary Colours. need to listen to it more, but so far loving this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Plastic Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My favourites: Please Turn Me Into The Snat - Connan Mockasin An extremely good album. Probably my favourite. Very psychedelic and weird songs, but with catchy melodies...One of the best NZ musicians by far... Transference - Spoon The first Spoon album I've heard. I loved this. Very cool... Contra - Vampire Weekend Oh, don't worry. I hated this... Go - Jonsi Okay, I only downloaded this on the weekend but it's pretty amazing. Strict Joy - The Swell Season edit: DAMNIT 2009 Crude Futures - So So Modern Awesome...another one of NZ's best bands. A lot like Holy Fuck. Seeing them pretty soon! I don't think there are any others that really stood out to me. The Mint Chicks released an amazing EP but I'm not sure if that counts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
