A Grand Don't Come For Free by The Streets
Heard this a few years ago and absolutely hated it, found it the other day and it's a lot better than I remembered. Some of the songs seem to get a bit caught up in the whole concept of the album, but overall it's an enjoyable listen. Only annoyance is Mike Skinner's pronunciation of some words,his flow is non-existent.

A Sunny Day In Glasgow - Ashes Grammar

Super happy, catchy dream pop. Just gets me in a good mood, I love it.

Melt-Banana - Cell-Scape

Hook filled and sonically diverse punk featuring some high pitched chick wailing over it.

Coalesce - Ox

safe to say i really love metalcore

I love that album, I find it a bit more interesting and enjoyable than their debut Scribble Mural Comic Journal. They manage to walk the perfect line between making experimental music and memorable music, like a dreamier Stereolab.

straight-up country brilliance

my version doesn't have the hidden medley

This has to be one of the worst ways possible to describe tropicalia.

And... tropicalia has to be one of the worst names to assign to a genre of music.

^^whatever

Kanye West - My Beatiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

probably the best thing I've heard this year yet

I love both albums, but Scribble Mural wins by just a little bit. I'll be interested to see what else they come up with...I think the next album has to be radically different. I feel like they nailed the hazy dream pop world in their first 2 albums, another one in the same vein would just be repetitive.
