I'll second that. Jordan is one excellent album, and certainly not dated.

You're Nothing - Iceage

Too loud, and not in a good way. All it does is make me wanna listen to their more superior first record.

5/10

Haven't listened to their first album yet, but this album sounded terrible. Don't know if it's any indication of what to expect on their first album but it sounded like a chaotic, uninspired mess.

Like I said I'm trying to make the most of it, but "Copies, Clones, & Replicants" by Powerman 5000 is not very good. The singer didn't even make a real effort hitting some hard, golden notes in this album, like he seemed to in songs such as Supernova Goes Pop or others.

I like Behold the Arctopus to an extent, I might check into it.

I have to admit I've come to like that album more since I posted that comment three years ago.

ATTENTION: Dirty Projectors are still the most annoying pitchfork band making music.

Indeed. Never has such a boring band been given such unwarranted hype in "alternative" circles.

I do like Bitte Orca though.

Edit: Thinking about it, they probably aren't the most undeserving of hype, but I do think most of their material is completely boring.

Hotel California... "classic" album, number f***ing 37 (!) on Rolling Stones Top 500 Albums... I just don't like the album. It's really disappointing. I'll admit the title track is fairly amazing, but the rest is completely unmemorable (to me, anyways).

I think "The Last Resort" is a petty great song too. And "Life in the Fast Lane", "Wasted Time" and "Victim of Love" are decent as well, but I agree with you about the rest of the album.
