loudefix Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 There is only one album that I'm sure I will put in my top at the end of the year and it's Teen Drean by Beach House. I listen some other but even if I like them I don't know yet if they will still be on my top in 6 months. See you in december. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Final Track Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Didn't really want to get that :\ maybe because of the hype. I love Some Kind Of Nature but didn't really like the other stuff I listened to on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaths_friend Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Ok i cant quite rank my albums just yet but i will categorise them Top Tier This Is Happening - LCD Soundsystem Teen Dream - Beach House I Speak Because i can - Laura Marling High Violet - The National Innerspeaker - Tame Impala Middle Tier Down the Way - Angus + Julia Stone Plastic Beach - Gorillaz Contra - Vampire Weekend S/T - The Drums Tourist History - Two Door Cinema Club One Life Stand - Hot Chip Crystal Castles II - Crystal Castles Rush to Relax - Eddy Current Suppression Ring Go - Jonsi Slightly Lower Tier Astrocoast - Surfer Blood Swim - Carbou Acolyte - Delphic April Uprising - John Butler Trio Good but Haven't Listened Properly Tier Treats - Sleigh Bells S/T - Broken Bells Forgiveness Rock Record - Broken Social Scene Further - The Chemical Brothers amazing year so far, rivals 2008 already and has smashed 09 out of the park. if we get great records from interpol, fleet foxes and arcade fire and maybe something special from radiohead this might just beat 2007.

The Escapist Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Ok so here is my list. I was going to wait until the end of the month but then I released that I am just going to come back and change it anyway. I might organise mine in tiers like Deaths_friend (I always forget your name sorry). There are still a lot of albums I need to listen to so this is a great thread, thanks briggs. Top Tier Teen Dream - Beach House Odd Blood - Yeasayer Forgiveness Rock Record - Broken Social Scene Total Life Forever - Foals High Violet - The National Second Tier Innerspeaker - Tame Impala Contra - Vampire Weekend Go - Jonsi The Drums - The Drums Down The Way - Angus and Julia Stone This is Happening - LCD Soundsystem Treats - Sleigh Bells Broken Bells - S/T Cystal Castles - Crystal Castles II Heartland - Owen Pallett Third Tier Heligoland - Massive Attack Acolyte - Delphic Transference - Spoon There is Love In You - Four Tet Plastic Beach - Gorillaz One Life Stand - Hot Chip Swim - Caribou The Five Ghosts - Stars Tourist History - Two Door Cinema Club The Crystal Axis - Midnight Juggernauts Cosmogramma - Flying Lotus Have One On Me - Joanna Newsom Congratulations - MGMT Where Did The Night Fall - UNKLE Its so difficult to make a definitive list when you listen to so much music. Ive listened to about 80 albums so far this year and to cut it down to a top 30 is so challenging. For all I know, my list could look completely different depending on when I write it. What I do know however is that the quality of the music this year has been excellent and I do look forward to the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdensestate Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I haven't honestly listened to enough new music the past few months, going to have to give a bunch of these a try. I stopped torrenting after I infected my computer with like 89754 annoying trojans and shit, so I guess... I will have to be legal now? Ugh. Tsk tsk.

hotdensestate Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 It's so stupid, the actual artists get a pathetically small cut of the album sales, the people who make money are just the record company. Artists get money from touring live. And know how people get to want to see artists live? BY LISTENING TO THE FUCKING ALBUM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 That's why record labels get so pissed off about pirating but the bands are like meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdensestate Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yeah, I have yet to hear of an actual artist getting seriously upset over pirating. In fact I saw a video on YouTube of a pissed off indie film director going on the street selling bootlegs of his own movie for 1/4 the price of the official ones and saying "this way I actually make money for what I created" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 I like when bands have the option of buying it directly from them. Like Stars started up their own label and are selling their new album through it (although it is distributed by Universal still). But even so, ordering it on the band's website is a way to know they're getting more money than if I just went to HMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdensestate Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 That's cool, I may buy Stars' album that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
