My Weekly Top Ten Albums

gotjuice · 03-07-2009, 05:44 PM

I didn't really like Narrow Stairs, didn't click with me except for a few songs.

If you haven't heard anything else by them, I'd recommend Transatlanticism.

I heard one song from Plans, and a few songs from We Have The Facts, And We're Voting Yes.

3/15/09- Updated Top 25.
Don't think I stopped working on my journal just because there's no posts. This top 25 special is just taking longer then I wanted it to.

Top 25 special on Page 2.

Weeks Of March 16 & March 23, 2009

10.
Radiohead - In Rainbows

Fifteen steps, then a sheer drop. By far my favorite Radiohead album, followed by Amnesiac.

9.
Hey Monday - Hold On Tight

Paramore rip-offs, pretty much, but SO catchy. SO catchy, that they're going on this

8.
Hellogoodbye - Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!

Remind me again why this guy has a full band now? He is so much better in this album than in his new EP.

Have to go, i'll update later.

In Rainbows is a great album, great choice!

7.
Attack Attack! - Someday Came Suddenly

Catchy post-hardcore/electronica album. Something you can actually dance to haha.

6.
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica

A classic for any fan of Modest Mouse or the indie genre in general.

5.
Nobodys Hero - This Is Who We Are
[img]
Decent post-hardcore. Been there, done before, but still good. What I can't believe is that they're not signed by a label.

Now that I've heard other albums by them, I have to agree with you. Right now, here's the order of best to least favorite DCfC albums. This is just a little side-post, I'm not turning this journal into something else, and this is just my personal opinion. I haven't even heard all of their albums, or all of the songs on some of these albums, so keep that in mind.

Plans
Transatlanticism
Narrow Stairs
Forbidden Love
You Can Play These Songs With Chords
We Have The Facts, And We're Voting Yes
Something About Airplanes

Roemilca · 07-03-2009, 01:06 AM

Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about this. Well, here we go:

Week of June 29-July 4th, 2009

10.
Circa Survive- Juturna
Not sure what this is... indie, I suppose? Or experimental? Whatever it falls under, this is one amazing album. Do I like it as much as On Letting Go? Maybe not, but it's still a fantastic album for this week's top ten.

9.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor- Raise Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
It's just that good.

8.
Black Eyed Peas- The E.N.D.
Seemed like a dissapointment when Boom Boom Pow came out, but Black Eyed Peas finally hit the sweet spot with songs like Electric City, One Tribe, and Generation Now.

7.
Chelsea Grin- S/t
Get 'em dancing around like ***s, but hey, catchy "cybergrind" is so, so, good.

6.
Iron & Wine- The Shepard's Dog
Hey, is this quality music? In Roemilca's top ten?!
I think so.

Roemilca · 10-16-2009, 04:40 PM

I'm just not going to let this journal die off.

Week of October 12-16th, 2009

10.
Iron & Wine- The Shepard's Dog
Amazing from start to finish. There's really nothing I can say about this album, except that it'll probably stay in my top ten every week.

9.
Rendezvous With The Kidnappers- Turbulencia
This album will never get old.

8.
Porcupine Tree- Deadwing
PT shows their more accesible, alternative rock side.

7.
Deltron 3030- S/t
One of my favorite hip-hop albums of all time. Word is getting around that they have finished work on the follow-up album, after almost ten years.

6.
Kid Cudi- Man on the Moon: The End of Day
Hadn't really gotten into it when it came out, but I've been listening to it more now. Nothing special, decent alternative hip-hop with some beats supplied by Ratatat.
And that brings me to...

5.
Ratatat- Classics
Funky, hip, you name it. Ratatat hit the big one here, but there's still room for improvement. Good thing LP4's just about ready to be released.

4.
Modest Mouse- The Moon & Antarctica
It's Modest Mouse. Why in the hell would they not be in my top ten?

3.
Above The Sky- Starlit.
Hasn't been released yet. Yes, I made it, but I actually really like the way it turned out. I mixed post-rock, electronic, hip-hop, classical, trance, progressive rock, and house into one.

2.
Death Cab for Cutie- Transatlantacism
Best DCfC, hands down.

1.
The Mars Volta- Frances The Mute
I'm getting realllyyyy into TMV right now.

I'm not done yet. I have to go but when I get back I'll finish up this week's top ten.

It's been a few years since the last time I worked on this thing. I guess this is a note to the mods of Music Banter asking if I could revive this.
