EWolfe Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Looking for some new So, what's yer pick? Quote
olyclimber Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 I'm off by a year, because this came out in late October of 2003, but my favorite album I bought in 2004 was Shins 'Chutes Too Narrow'. Quote
JoshK Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Absolution, by Muse!!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely a good pick. Thanks to Wayne for turning me onto this one. I dont know which one came out this year, the "A Perfect Circle" is a pretty sweet group I have started listening to a lot. Quote
Distel32 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Absolution, by Muse!!!!!!!!!!!!! good album, but compared to Origin of Symmetry and Showbiz, Absolution is a waste of time.... Franz Ferdinand is good album Good news for people who love bad news - Modest Mouse New Pinback EP "Funeral" by The Arcade Fire not 2004.....but "Highly Refined Pirates" by Minus the Bear "A Ghost is Born" - Wilco but really just go buy as many pinback albums as you can get your hands on....

Distel32 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 ok ok absolution kicks ass.....but their earlier stuff is still better.... Quote

olyclimber Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Absolution, by Muse!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went and checked this album out on Amazon. It was sort of neat to see people sniping on each other on some other format (Muse vs. Radiohead). "Anyone that can't hear the similarity between Muse and Radiohead is either (1) in denail, and truly unable to see what they don't want to see; (2) completely tone-deaf; or (3) pridefully lying. (Would these people also assert that R. Yamagata sounds nothing like Fiona Apple?) " or "I could go on and on, but like all music critisim, the points are merely academic. If one likes it (and I do), one likes it, no matter the analytical deconstruction. Just don't make the they're-nothing-like-Radiohead argument disingenuously or ignorantly." Quote
lancegranite Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Good news for people who....you know what I'm talking about. Szy fuckin' cranking this album at the Alabama hills... Climbing to the sounds of Modesto Mouso. Quote

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Hot Water Music The New What Next They're from Gainesville, FL. They release an album a year just about, and tour constantly. They rock the progressive post-hardcore shit, and continue to improve, refine, and experiment with every record. Buy. Listen. Love. Less Than Jake 'B' is for B-sides Also from Gainesville, FL. Rocking the punk rock with the ska music, but less skanky oi-boy ska and more like punk rock with a good horn section. This album is the B-sides from their last album, Anthem, and it is better than the album, as well as being the best thing LTJ has released in the past few years. Short, rocking, righteous. Get stoked and rock out. Yes. Oh, and Against Me!'s As the Eternal Cowboy, even though it's from '03. 'cause DFA just heard it in '04. Note that Against Me! are also from Gainesville, FL. Notice a theme, here? Good. They are part acoustic, part electrified, all punk rocking goodness, with short songs, varied styles, good harmonizing, good lyrics, good energy, and good song titles (e.g. Cliche Guevara). You buy it, you love it, you thank Dr. Flash Amazing later for being such a fucking brilliant music recommendator. Word to your moms. Oh, and one more thing, which is that Fugazi began this year to release live albums of something like 20 of their shows dating back to their first. While the good Doctor has not heard any of these yet, it is safe to say that this will be good stuff. Oh yeah, and go see the Ramones movie, End of the Century. A swell portrait of an influential group of incredibly socially dysfunctional people who are responsible for making some good punk rock noises. Salud! Quote
ken4ord Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 antics < turn on the bright lights No no no no, antics = turn on the bright lights Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Green Day - American Idiot The theme song on the radio doesn't do this justice. I'm a music critic, big time ( and in the music business ) and this is a really good album. A good friend told me to check it out and before I heard it I thought it would be a bunch of crap. But after listen to the 9 minute track 2, I was totally sold. Good lyrics and tempo changes. It's a concept album with really good song writing. Believe it or not, these are excellent musicians. Good concept too: Suburbian Christianity/ media / rednecks destroying our country. Inspiring. Quote
EWolfe Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 What about the latest William Shatner album "Has Been" Critically acclaimed , Ben Folds produced... Quote
