June 15, 201313 yr Your list seems very mainstream. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing; it's merely an observation. Anyway, I've got a lot of listening ahead of me if I want to have a midway list of top albums. :dead:
June 15, 201313 yr No Foals?! :P Honestly, Holy Fire is the only one on my list so far. The rest have been pretty blah.
June 15, 201313 yr Mid-year rankings: 1) My Bloody Valentine - m b v 2) Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest 3) Kanye West - Yeezus 4) The Haxan Cloak - Excavation 5) The Knife - Shaking the Habitual 6) Autre Ne Veut - Anxiety 7) Daft Punk - Random Access Memories 8) Jai Paul - Jai Paul 9) Atoms For Peace - Amok 10) David Bowie - The Next Day 11) Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience 12) Maxmillion Dunbar - House of Woo 13) Charli XCX - True Romance 14) Dadub - You Are Eternity 15) Disclosure - Settle 16) Deerhunter - Monomania 17) Function - Incubation 18) Inc. - No World 19) Omar-S - Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself 20) Majical Cloudz - Impersonator 21) Autecre - Exai 22) Rhye - Woman 23) James Blake - Overgrown 24) Thundercat - Apocalypse 25) Prurient - Through the Window
June 15, 201313 yr this reminds me that I still have to listen to Boards of Canada. I think my top 10 now looks like: The Mary Onettes - Hit The Waves Esben and the Witch - Wash The Sins Not Only From Your Face Still Corners - Strange Pleasures The Boxer Rebellion - Promises Austra - Olympia Sigur Rós - Kveikur Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away Folly and the Hunter - Tragic Care My Bloody Valentine - M B V Youth Lagoon - Wondrous Bughouse I actually like this idea of composing one already half through the year. I am curious how it will have changed in the end of the year. To see if only new albums enter the top 10 or the ones that are in it now also change position compared to eachother. I wouldn't be surprised if the latter will be the case because in the beginning I thought MBV was amazing, but I also got bored with it fast, so it already went down in my list.
June 15, 201313 yr Probably something like this: 1. Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City 2. My Bloody Valentine - m b v 3. Kanye West - Yeezus 4. The National - Trouble Will Find Me 5. Deerhunter - Monomania 6. Jai Paul - Jai Paul (I know it's not a real album but still) 7. Jon Hopkins - Immunity 8. James Blake - Overgrown 9. Phosphorescent - Muchacho 10. Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
June 18, 201313 yr roughly in order The National - "Trouble Will Find Me" Jim James – “Regions of Light and Sound of God” Local Natives – “Hummingbird” Frightened Rabbit – “Pedestrian Verse” Iron and Wine – “Ghost on Ghost” Nightbeds – “Country Sleep” Yo La Tengo – “Fade” John Grant – “Pale Ghosts” Phosphorescent – “Muchacho” Devandra Banhart – “Mala” but there's a lot of albums I haven't listened to enough yet, such as Vampire Weekend and Nick Cave.
June 18, 201313 yr ^ The Local Natives record is beautiful. I haven't heard the Night Beds album yet, but I heard a song off it and REALLY liked it, so I'm going to try to listen to that at some point. Anyway, I'm still going through albums and trying to come up with my list. If I pace myself enough, I should be able to have it by the end of the month.
June 18, 201313 yr In no particular order. Just to name a few. The Boxer Rebellion My Bloody Valentine Birds Of Tokyo The Civil Wars(Yet to be released) Onerepublic Phosphorescent

June 19, 201313 yr 1. Mark Owen - The Art Of Doing Nothing. It's a brilliant album, makes me even more excited about LP6. 2. OneRepublic - Native :)
June 19, 201313 yr 1. Mark Owen - The Art Of Doing Nothing. It's a brilliant album, makes me even more excited about LP6. 2. OneRepublic - Native :)That's not really a top 10 :P
June 19, 201313 yr Album is boring, just like his live show. If it's really that boring, why do so many people like it?
