100: Tomahawk - Anonymous

This album shows Tomahawk going in a slightly different direction as they pick up some tribal elements which are especially notable in the drums.

That's a great album!

TMBG always have good album covers, even on their children's albums:

Why do all of those kids have black eyes?

lucifer_sam · 08-18-2008, 09:14 PM

TBH, I have no idea. It's supposed to be a children's album. Maybe TMBG are endorsing corporal discipline?

95. Edge Of Dawn - Enjoy The Fall

Seabound frontman Frank Spinath making 80s-esque synth pop. Like a more girly sounding Junior Boys this album makes me almost want to turn gay. The heart meltingly gushy sounds that this album puts out are the music equivalent of a romantic drama but it feels as if you're sucked into every role. Its a bit cheesy and slightly cliched but its the kind of cliched cheese that you would find digestible in an 80s flashback sandwich with Frank Spinath as the meat and you as the buns. Mmmm...

Also, Frank Spinath so you know it has to be good.

Hey Unfan, how large is your music library? I mean, if you can do a list of the top 100 albums of one year, then god only knows how much music you actually have.

It is a mystery.

94. My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - The Filthiest Show In Town

Dirty rock fused with catchy industrial beats. Too tired to bother making the album sound stupidly good, so check it out for yourself.

93.yelworC - Eclosion

yelworC has sort of a dark ambient meets EBM meets movie score style thats fairly unique and rather complex in parts. Lots of layering and crisp keyboards mixed with random noise makes for an eerie listen. Somehow this album manages to be dancey yet complex and even somewhat moving at times. While a bit hard to swallow and probably requires repeat listening to fully get I would recommend this to anyone who even remotely likes anything musical.

It's not too hard to have that much music, it IS hard to listen to it all. I've been working for about three years straight and I still haven't breached 1,000 albums that I really enjoy.

Sound's intriguing. I may have to check that out.
