 Any others?

Who besides Brennser and myself are talking this album up?  For me it's a solid four star record that isn't going to change the world, but the song writing and arrangements are solid.  It's also one of those that takes a couple times to sink in records....  Besides nkotbie is a Andrew W.K. fan so what do you expect  
 
 My overrated choice is The Raconteurs...  It's just not a good as it could have been.

touche, i remembered reading a lot of shitty ones for some reason

Stadium Aracadium - RHCP...  I am done with this band.. finished..

[nkotb]

Nobody else, I guess.  But based on some of the conversation on here, I was expecting a sleeper hit.
 
 Of course, this should be an indication of what kind of esteem I hold you both in   .

there was definitely a lot of talk about the band on here this year, not sure if it was about the album

You hipsters always abandon bands as soon as they are on top.

  Of their top 30, only one will make my top 10.

let me guess:
 
 3 Hell Hath No Fury by Clipse  2006 91
 
 what do i win?! [/b]

That album's borderline fuckin' amazin'.  Making you feel empathy for someone that moves yay is a new emotion in hip-hop . . . . [/b]

As opposed to your normal drug dealer tales in hip-hop which are built on bravado, there's a moral spin/fiber to the rhymes on the Clipse's album.  In laymen's terms, by the end of the album, you empathize with the "Bad Guy".  (i.e. Rooting for Tony Soprano, even though he bludgeons cats for a living.)  Hope that clears it up for you . . .
 
 Move yay = selling cocaine for profit

What didn't you like about the Raconteurs album?  I thought it was pretty hot.  Classic, no.  But definitely hot.  A solid album.  Which aside of Wolfmother, I couldn't say for a lotta rock albums this year.  Even Tool's new album was kinda eh . . . But I guess when you drop albums like theirs, there's gotta be a plateau somewhere.

Director217, how many Red Bulls have you had today?

I didnt think this was a fake poster until this moment, it must be, who really says "drop albums"

ouch! there goes my street cred.....I don't think its that abd but I do admit to selectively listening tto only a couple of songs on it.....but honestly Quiet as a Mouse may be the single best song of the year for me and boring it ain't!

[kosmo vinyl]

i was really rEaLlY ReAlLy REALLY looking forward to hearing the Raconteurs album, being a long time fan of Brendan Benson and whats his name.... However, the record was a huge letdown and disappointment.  Besides the obvious singles it sounds unfinished and like a bunch of demos.  It may rAwk but it's half assed effort from a talented bunch... Wolfmother did the better job releasing a Raconteurs album then they did.
 
 If you want the RaWk checkout the new Cheap Trick, Keene Brothers and As Fast As...

I'm going to go with that Band of Horses record.  A couple of good moments (The Funeral, The Great Salt Lake), and a lot of filler, I thought.
