The 2009 Albums Thread

[Relaxer]

the new Dino Jr album just isn't sticking for me. I like it, but Beyond was so great right out the gate and I really got into it.
only have heard the new Reatard once but I liked it a lot. the lyrics didn't distract but I don't really pay attention to those at first anyway
the new dodos is really good after one go-through

[sweetcell]

HE LIVES!

thanks for recommendations, will give the dodos a try.

i agree w/ pb&j, neko and yeah yeah yeahs and jarvis.

i need to pick up mos def. and need to listen all the way through to anco.

however, dirty projectors = h8. they opened for um... i can't even remember now, and it was not enjoyable at all.

as an aside - i need to listen to drake. mainly due to my undying love for all things degrassi.

Man...I've heard very few of those albums and only one of my top 5 (Antony) made the list. Guess I'm like...unhip...or something.


Dirty Projectors was a giant letdown and AC and GB got old fast. Mastodon's was boring and Neko Case's was just alright.

[azaghal1981]

The new YLT is relaxing and dreamy. Great summer night disc.
The first three songs, at least.
