A nicely fine tuned indie album here...not exactly groundbreaking, but very listenable. If you want to listen to a solid, catchy indie album, then here it is.

WHUT? wow. Just wow. I was really disappointed by this album.

No lies.

I like that album ok but when I saw them live all the songs from that album were pretty boring. It's probably not the fault of the songs but the way they played them. The older songs had more energy which worked well with the band's otherwise boring stage presence, but boring stage presence and slower songs =

Anyway to make it clear it's still a pretty good album.

Thank you.
I don't neccesarily agree with the list, but it's always good to have a list so you can sort out what you like yourself

Silent Civilian - Ghost Stories

Wow, it's been a great year for music. These are just in order by release date.

And the two best for last:

I'll reserve judgement 'til the end of this month myself. It's between the Swans, Grinderman, Beach House and Fall efforts for album of the year in my books though. Possibly the Massive Attack and Elvis Costello ones too, although I haven't really listened to those enough to make my mind up.

Oneohtrix Point Never deserve a mention too.

I'll hold off making a list until I've heard Sufjan and Kanye...

Fleet Foxes, The Gourishankar and Comus have yet to release their stuffz: I shall hold back on my tops of the year until I've heard them and whatever else I've missed.

Sufjan Stevens's latest surprised me though: it's surprisingly proggy.

Haven't Fleet Foxes put it back to 2011?
