Jesus christ am i tried of hearing this phrase on everything.

 

 

 

Does the album have to have been released this year? New band? or new album?

 

If not best album is still Dirt. Alice n chains. Listen to it at least once a week.

All these, new to me this year, have seen heavy rotation of late:

 

The Hold Steady - Separation Sunday (as if Springsteen remembered how to rock and actually did drugs)

 

The Thermals - The Body, The Blood, The Machine (brilliant punk rock concept epistle about life under a christian cult)

 

The Evens (Ian MacKaye and his girlfriend form a largely acoustic band that can travel in a small car)

 

The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site (Winnipeg band makes the most heart wrenchingly lovely album I've heard in a long time.)

This is a commonly used strategy by those who have absolutely nothing to say, yet want to boost their post count. I agree, it is tired.

 

BEST ALBUMs i've been listening to in '06:

Bobby Bare Jr - The Longest Meow (2006; alt-pop-country, but good)

Ryan (not Bryan) Adams & the CArdinals - Cold Roses (2006; jam-tinged alt-country, but good)

Mofro - Lochloosa (2004; soulful blues w/ a little rock, but good)

Black Keys - Chulahoma (2006; straight up blues w/ edge, but good)
