Hurrah! Another Top 25 list of dross and boredom! Am I really the only person on the planet who doesn't like the direction Sleater-Kinney took with The Woods? My favourite release by them is still 'Call The Doctor'.

I only agree with maybe 5 off that list; Sleater-Kinney being one of them. Dave Fridmann is the man.

I don't think that they're the worst.
But I think they're highly overrated.

They're not terrible, but if I saw them perform, I would forget about them too.
Nothing about them stands out to me.

i think you may prefer the wire's top 50 stephtar, oh, maybe not

there's nothing boring about fourtet and konono no 1, though i'll admit they're the only two that really grabbed me this year

the sigur rós album was very average sigur rós

plus, no mention of dälek's 'absence' ~ stand-out record of the year

I liked the new sigur rós album, but I didn't think the new four tet one was amazing. It was good alright, but I well prefer the old downbeat Pause stuff.

And dälek is too fucking scary for my liking.

2 and 3 are excellent choices, but I don't really give two shits about that Animal Collective album.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are indeed entirely pointless.

I have never heard them once, but I am relatively confident that I know absolutely everything about their music already. They will have absolutely no lasting impact. They are all style and no balls

now that i really look at it, there's only ONE good album on that entire list (Lightning Bolt)

the rest of it is just hipster pleasing trash.

Rossz Csillag Alatt Született is definitely hipster pleasing trash

Re: Re:

Quoth FilmoreHolmes:You've listened to them all, have you?

no, but i'm sure that more than 4/5 of them will wind up on some Garden State/Royal Tenenbaums/Napoleon Dynamite-esque film's soundtrack, so there's no point in bothering.

Quoth FilmoreHolmes How did you like Venetian Snares?

well, if they're on a list with Sufjan Stevens, Decemberists, Broken Social Scene and Sleater Kinney they can't be anything special.

(yes, i'm fully aware that i'm an ignorant asshole.)

And a liar. You can't say there's only one good album on the list if you haven't listened to any of them. I'd say there's more like 5 or 6 good ones and at least one horribly shite one (MIA). Enjoy your bliss.

The thing is, VS is absolutely nothing like them. If you take a look at my journal, you'll see my top 10 of the year. Rossz Csillag Alatt Született is at #5, in between Arsis' A Diamond for Disease and Meshuggah's Catch 33. Two death metal albums.

Give it a try before you write it off.
