The new LCD Soundsystem. I can only stand one track, "Someone Great".
 
 What's yours?

Third.  
 
 It's nowhere near as good as Funeral.

!!! - Myth Takes
 
 I thought Neon Bible  was better than funeral.
 
 I'll second the shins and block party though. I like Sound Of Silver  alright but the critics have been over-hyping the hell out of it.

I was a little disappointed with Bill Callahan's Woke on a Whaleheart.

Bloc Party - A Weekend In the City
 
 If it wasn't so underwhelming, I might have considered getting tickets to their show at DAR, but this coupled with their history of underwhelming live shows, it's just not worth it to me.

Agreed on Bloc Party and Arcade Fire.  I can't get into them at all.

Wilco's Sky Blue Sky-though not actually released yet, it was leaked weeks ago. Uncle Tupelo fans take note-Son Volt's new one seems to be a more interesting disc overall. Farrar's experimenting with a fuller sound and most of the time it works.

Not that I was expecting greatness...the Weirdness by the Stooges
