Here's a list of their favorite fan-submitted names.My personal favorites are Master Control, Gravity Tractor, and Ohh Ohh Radio. Although I feel like a band named Ohh Ohh Radio would need some pretentious exclamation points in there somewhere. Ohh! Ohh! Radio! or Ohh Ohh! Radio! would fit.

So's the fact that according to their MySpace, their new name is going to be Pyramid. What an dull, dull, dull, awful and painfully unmemorable name.
I have no idea who Starfucker are or what that Nine Inch Nails song is, but there's a Gregory Corso poem the concluding line of which is either "be a star fucker" or "be a star screwer".

I think no matter what happens, Agoraphobic Nosebleed's latest effort ranks as the best record this year. If not that, then at least the most demented, whacked-out ride of the year.
How can you NOT love a record that features a song called "Druggernaut Jug Fuck"!?

In all honesty, i am finding this a disappointing year for great albums. There are maybe a handful i would consider so and then a lot of average ones.
Possible top 10 contenders so far:
Dananananaykroyd - Hey Everyone
The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love
Röyksopp - Junior
The Thermals - Now We Can See
The Whitest Boy Alive - Rules
Frank Turner - Poetry of the Deed
Japandroids - Post-Nothing
Starfucker - Jupiter
The Antlers - Hospice
Future of the Left - Travels With Myself and Another
Mayer Hawthorne and the County - A Strange Arrangement
Seasick Steve - Man From Another Time
Fun. - Aim and Ignite
EDIT: Edited because I am an idiot and didn't pay attention when typing this.

A top ten so far...
1. Porcupine Tree-The Incident. How many Porcupine Tree fans got excited when they announced that the centerpiece of the new album would be 55 minutes long. Don't lie, you were. And we had every reason to be, because this is absolutely amazing. It could overthrow Lightbulb Sun and In Absentia as my favorite PT album, but its still young. We'll see.
2. Dethklok-The Dethalbum II. Wait a minute, the number 2 album of the year is from a cartoon band? Yes. Yes it is. Its an album chock full of great melodic deth metal sounds. The change in style of Brendon Small's growls as Nathan Explosion really helps the songs become more memorable. Most death metal bands would kill for the actual popularity Dethklok has.
3. dredg-The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion. Wow. My second dredg album after El Cielo and this was not what I was expecting at all. Catchy hooks are everywhere on this album. Even the "Stamp of Origins" that are scattered throughout the album are great. There are a few unnecessary filler songs, but it doesn't subtract from the overall quality.
4. Dream Theater-Black Clouds & Silver Linings. What a comeback from the last crappy album, Systematic Chaos. There's not too much experimentation or style change on this album, except for the inclusion of an iPhone app Bebot in "A Rite of Passage." But DT knows what DT fans want, and what DT fans wanted was pretty much this album. Nothing groundbreaking by any means, but you can't argue with 5 great songs and 1 good song.
5. Mastodon-Crack the Skye. Another "wow" from me. I really prefer this style to Mastodon's older stuff. Psychadelic, progressive, and heavy makes for one awesome combination, especially on tracks like "Oblivion," "The Czar," and "Ghost of Karelia."
6. Bruce Springsteen-Working on a Dream
7. The Decemberists-The Hazards of Love
8. Pure Reason Revolution-Amor Vincit Omnia
9. Mew-No More Stories...
10. Umphrey's McGee-Mantis
Honorable Mentions: Muse, Marillion, Pearl Jam, Maudlin of the Well

For me, they just lack an element that really grips me. Like scarred said, they sound cute and harmless, and I'm sure I'd have fun if I went to see them live with friends. They're not very memorable, though. "A Teenager In Love" exemplifies what I mean: really familiar drumbeat throughout, cheesy guitar melody at parts.... I'm not faulting them by any means, but they just don't strike me as very special. The album's a sugarfree Psychocandy. The closer, "Gentle Sons," is another good example. A catchy little ending song that's basically 'Just Like Honey' mixed to flow with the ending build of Pulp's 'Like a Friend' as they piddle-peddle the distortion pedal. In one ear, and I assume they went out the other ear, but I've already moved on to something else. |

It is going to be difficult to pick just 10 albums from all the good stuff of this year.
I don't know whether I'm happier that this is the case, or sadder that I am taking making a list like this so seriously.
Mastodon- Crack the Skye
Isis- Wavering Radiant
Baroness- The Blue Record
Fever Ray- s/t
Blut Aus Nord- Memoria Vetusta II: Dialogue With the Stars
Cormorant- Metazoa
Infected Mushroom- Legend of the Black Shawarma
Converge- Axe to Fall
Do Make Say Think- Other Truths
Porcupine Tree- The Incident
The Flaming Lips- Embryonic
Memory Tapes- Seek Magic
Pelican- What We All Come to Need
Immortal- All Shall Fall
Hacride- Lazarus
Royksopp- Junior
Amesoeurs- s/t
Sunn0)))- Monoliths & Dimensions
Kylesa- Static Tensions
Mono- Hymn to the Immortal Wind
Yob- The Great Cessation
Jesu- Opiate Sun
Stupid musicians and their talent, making it difficult for me to subjectively rank their works in some dumb order.

Koremora, you should probably stop getting pissy over the Pitchfork jokes. It doesn't matter whether you like it or not or whether anyone else has an opinion on it, the jokes are going to happen and it's better if they are just left there and chuckled or sighed at (whatever is applicable to anybody's opinion who is reading this).
What I am saying is that there is no need to get into a slanging match over good-natured humour so grow up people.

Yeah snide remarks are really the only way to go on this forum. I really dig POBPAH, they got #4 on my top 10 records of the year, but I'm not above making jokes about their faux British accents or cutesy attitude. If you can't laugh at yourself, what's the point?

Oh right so the whole Top 10 thing. In the interest of fairness anything The Thermals release is basically Auto #1 for me, so really this is more of a Top 9, and in a non-Thermals year Actor would be my favorite album.
1) The Thermals - Now We Can See
2) St. Vincent - Actor
3) Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca
4) A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Ashes Grammar
5) Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
6) Japandroids - Post-Nothing
7) Matt & Kim - Grand
8.) Vivian Girls - Everything Goes Wrong
9) The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Self Titled/Higher Than the Stars EP
10) The Felice Brothers - Yonder is the Clock
