Guest errolwest Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 MINUS THE BEAR-OMNI: The guitar work has been dumbed down big time and the keys turned up. The vocals/lyrics are dull and cliche as hell! Didn't see it coming from them OMNI. i love this so much. ...Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmythescumbag Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Arcade Fire - The Suburbs. shit bores me to tears. How could have I forgot this piece o crap. This band gets worse with each release and people still salivate over it. Sounds about right for modern-day music consumption. Also: Too much rad shit came out this year to worry about anything that wasn't good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This band gets worse with each release and people still salivate over it. and Funeral was so fricken good, they blew me away live the first time I saw them touring on that album. I don't know what happened. Neon Bible was ok but it didnt have the same feel. I've heard The Suburbs once since I bought it and it made me want to turn it off during every song.

bizarospeak Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 The Suburbs is so BORING! but i'm seeing it on the top of every End of the year list. On Funeral they had drive and passion. That record is amazing! I'll still put it on today. Nothing else. They have one album in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfreliable Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 David Dondero- #0 With A Bullet. Its got some great songs on it, but some are just kinda eh. That being said, its got to be a good year for music for me if an album I like is a dissapointment for me. Oh yeah, White Crosses, I didnt mind New Wave, but christ, White Crosses was bad. I still listen to it every other month thinking that maybe it grows on me, but it just sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 You guys are entitled to your opinions, but you are smoking crack if you don't like "In Desolation." Nope, no crack...In Desolation has too much pandering to the masses in the song writing(or that's just a product of writing songs too quickly before recording and not working them out on the road), combined with a production that sucked the excitement out of the mix. Mr. Brett needs to realize not every band needs to have that super mega clean sounding produced record; the grittier sounding recordings the band made before Epitaph signed them was part of their sound, so without it the songs have a reduced urgency. Like I said before, there's some good songs on it, but if it had been like 6-8 songs it would have been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasma36 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Arcade Fire Vampire Weekend Kanye West What the fuck, Kanye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I thought the Kanye album was pretty good. Definitely a few songs on there made me go WTF is this garbage but I thought most of it was really good. Monster is probably the hip hop song of the year.

gmoney Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I never have gotten into an Arcade Fire album like Suburbs. Helped me through this year of architecture school - think pretty highly of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentclouds Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Sufjan Stevens follow-up to the spectacular messy but very good ILLINOIS was the incredibly annoying AGE OF ADZ. I really have a tough time getting through this album which takes Stevens already hyperactive arrangements and applies them to glitch. I thought the new Blonde Redhead album was easily their most boring album (although, it does have one terrific track stashed away in the mid-section). Other artists slipping a bit this year were: Jamie Lidell, Jeremy Jay, Of Montreal & Crystal Castles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentclouds Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 i really thought the of Montreal album was decent, i liked it more than Skeletal Lamping. I liked it slightly less than SKELETAL LAMPING, both of which I thought were pretty weak compared to HISSING FAUNA and the few albums before that. I think I am ready for the next step in their evolution (if there is one). This was a great year for music overall though, I just hope these people can get back in my good graces with their next albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 i liked most of white crosses... i wish it was catchier ala "cowboy".. but i wasn't horribly disappointed. this addiction was somewhat of a letdown.. especially after the promise of returning to their previous sound... it does have a couple good songs, and its' an improvement to their previous effort... that saidmy wife loves it, and listens to it all the time.
