Carl Posted September 29, 2013 Report Posted September 29, 2013 Atoms For Piece has been showing up a lot lately. I like them until Thom Yorke starts singing.
RockyRaccoon Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Posted September 30, 2013 The new album from The Naked & Famous, "In Rolling Waves", is fantastic.
TheLizard Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 I'm not sure why MGMT's new album has been slammed as hard as it has by the critics. I liked it. It's not great, it's essentially second-rate Flaming Lips material, and I do wish they didn't hate their early stuff so much, but it's not bad.

I wasn't like crazy about it, but I liked it. NME liked the album. They seem to be the only ones.
TheLizard Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 Janelle Monae is one of the most interesting artists out there right now. Electric Lady is amazing.
MindCrime Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 Janelle Monae was the only African-American artist to win an MTV Video Music Award this year.
RockyRaccoon Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Posted October 2, 2013 Janelle Monae is one of the most interesting artists out there right now. Electric Lady is amazing. Seriously, it was really good. The guitar work on it was mind-blowingly good.
TheLizard Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 That's what I noticed too. Kind of a mix of Santana and Prince. Which makes sense, since Prince made an awesome cameo.
RockyRaccoon Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Posted October 2, 2013 That's what I noticed too. Kind of a mix of Santana and Prince. Which makes sense, since Prince made an awesome cameo. I know right? It was great. The guitar-playing was very Prince-like, which is awesome. Kellindo Parker is sick. He made the last half of that album.
Carl Posted October 4, 2013 Report Posted October 4, 2013 I've been burned by modern R&B lately, but if you guys say this Janelle Monae thing is legit, I'll lend it my ears.
RockyRaccoon Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Posted October 4, 2013 I've been burned by modern R&B lately, but if you guys say this Janelle Monae thing is legit, I'll lend it my ears. Do it. I think you'll like it.
RockyRaccoon Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Posted October 4, 2013 Dream Theater's new album is great, as usual. The musical ability of John Petrucci almost defies logic.
TheLizard Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 Haim is the real deal. This record is as catchy as it gets.
RockyRaccoon Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Posted October 30, 2013 So "Reflektor" is good. My least favorite Arcade Fire album, but it's still a great album. I would say that that just speaks to the quality of their previous album rather than to "Reflektor". All that being said, "Reflektor" has a couple songs on it that are probably some of my favorite Arcade Fire songs. I wouldn't call it album of the year, but it's definitely top 15 if not top 10.
TheLizard Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 I would call it album of the year. No question.
RockyRaccoon Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Posted October 30, 2013 I would call it album of the year. No question. RAM still holds that spot for me.
RockyRaccoon Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Posted November 2, 2013 Sleigh Bells' new album is different and not in a good way
RockyRaccoon Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Posted November 4, 2013 St. Lucia's "When The Night" is some of the best synth-pop I've heard in a very long time.
RockyRaccoon Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Posted November 8, 2013 Eminem's new album has some moments that are fantastic and some moments that are godawful
TheLizard Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 ^ Yup. Also I didn't think the Sleigh Bells album was bad, it's just not as good as their past stuff.
RockyRaccoon Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Posted November 13, 2013 Fuzz's album is fantastic. Tim, you'll love it if you haven't heard it already. One of the best things Ty Segall has done yet.
TheLizard Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 How many Ty Segall projects am I expected to know about?!?
RockyRaccoon Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Posted November 15, 2013 How many Ty Segall projects am I expected to know about?!? I know, it's nuts. He's like, reaching a Jack White-level of proficiency
RockyRaccoon Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Posted December 3, 2013 So Death Grips' new album "Government Plates" is straight up ridiculous, and by that I mean, it's awesome.
RockyRaccoon Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Posted December 18, 2013 So as the year is winding down, I've made a list of my top 100 albums from this year if anyone would like to check it out. I would imagine the list will probably stay the same as the year ends.
