Great minds.....hehehe

Anyways Rather Ripped was ok, and actually better than a lot of other stuff released but ''ok'' for a Sonic Youth album is still dissappointing to me. I suppose what I'm getting at is that I was expecting something completely different and the ''ok''ness of the album stems from the fact that it is completely different from the Youth's stand-point. To me rather ripped sounds like the album you would have expected them to make in place of NYC Ghosts&Flowers, you know the album after all their gear had been ripped off.

And tell me about DJ Shadow...What the hell man! I understand he wanted to stretch out into something different but ''KrUnK''?

Ditto your thoughts on the Lips album, save for maybe three or four songs its not good.

It has been a good year for "post-rock" things, i like the latest releases of the following bands

mono
paik
red sparowes
isis

Lily Allen and Lady Sovereing put out good records too.
JT and Fergie were quite disappointing, in my opinion
Nelly Furtado's Loose is quite good.

I'll think anout some more good things to add.
peace.

[nicfit]

new TVOTR is good, but it has not the same atmosphere of the first album (and i loved its "mood")
Made Out Of Babies' "trophy" is good too.
Burial self titled is GREAT.

this will probably be in my list too, but it's so hard to remember which records came out this year...

gayest rapperr ever. he has a tattoo of a fucking butterfly on his face AND he was on "Change of Heart" (he got dumped). go get your money back before you're officially bamboozled.

 

so much for being the hardest rapper around with that smile.

CLIPSE - HELL HATH NO FURY

Amazing album. I don't know which I like better; that or The Documentary. Both are on my Christmas list.

RipFrey - Hell hath no fury is such a trill album! I love it that the Neptunes do all their beats, and it's produced completely differently than any of their other beats.

[Dead-Air]

Quite a few of my favorite albums of the past year are obscure enough that I feel like I need to link to the bands as I doubt any of you have likely heard of them. A lot of the best music is being made under the radar right now (actually always.) There are a few bigger indie releases that were good too.

Legendary Pink Dots - Your Children Placate You from Premature Graves
Black Happy Day - In the Garden of Ghost Flowers
King Kong Ding Dong - s/t
Orbit Service - Songs of Eta Carinae
Hunny - Synaesthesia
Pere Ubu - Why I Hate Women
Yo La Tengo - I'm Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
Wolf Eyes - Human Animal (which surprises me, as they've never overly impressed me before)
Reek of Influence comp on Icky Recordings (full disclosure, my band is on it, but I like the rest of it at least as much)
Women Take Back the Noise comp on Ubuibi (fucking awesome - 3 discs and not one bad track!)
Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped (not my all time fave, but still a damn good record)
Celebration s/t (actually came out in 2005, but I just saw them and got it)
War of the Species compilation on Severed by Records (no URL!)
Gowns - Dangers of Intimacy
Childhood Friends - Scars (not actually out yet, but they're my friends so I have an advance copy)
Acid Mother's Temple - The Other Side of the Sky
Oregone compilation on Oregone label
Zoe Keating - One Cello x 16: Natoma
Oliver Squash - s/t e.p.
George & Caplin - Things Past
Gricer - s/t
Skullflower - Tribulation

I still haven't heard it, but everything I heard about it is good. I just got into Ubu after WIRE did the review on them, and I picked up 30 seconds over tokyo, and was totally amazed. I'm looking forward to listen to more material from them. They change their sound and members completely through the years, and they maintain a consistant, rich sound. Good stuff.
