I probably over-reacted, but I guess I find the whole "Haha you like Animal Collective, you poor thing" pretty annoying. Oh well! Sorry if I acted like a dick for a second there.

I don't like Animal Collective but I'd never go so far as to pity their fans. I reserve that pleasure for brokenCYDE and Attack Attack!.

5) Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest Have you gotten into The Antlers yet? If you like Grizzly Bear, I could see a branching/linking appeal. I've been all over Hospice lately. Kind of fitting since one of my family members is dying, but still. It's soooo good. |

So you are saying the problem with the Pains of Being Pure at Heart is that they need to sound more offensive to people's ears? I don't really follow
No, they're just really boring and doing stuff that's been done for ages, now. I liked them when I heard a song or two off the album, then sat down and listened to the whole album. Yawn. Listen to Cruyff in the Bedroom is you want some decent 'gazey pop. |

Well yeah it's not like I didn't understand your opinion. Honestly, I just think they are very relaxing to listen to. I guess there's kind of a fine line between boring and relaxing though so I can understand why people don't like the album. What I was really replying to in that post was more confusion at Tom's response: that's kinda part of the problem there

^two horrible posts
man you cannot deny it is both a terrible band name and album name The excellent cover art cancels those out, leaving the music as the sole reason for listening to the album! Woah! edit: Hold it. Why is Decemberists #10 in my list and Fun excluded? I knew there was a problem with it. |

No, not really. I was trying to say TBOBPAH shouldn't draw quite as much ire as either Wavves or Animal Collective because the main reason people do not like them is that they are "boring" not because "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah this hurts my ears what the hell are you doing to those instruments", to which you replied that they should be more offensive to the ears to sound better. This is what did not make any sense. |

I don't have a huge beef with Poopspork, but sometimes their reviews can be baffling - they literally had nothing bad to say about Doves' Kingdom of Rust but it still only merited a 7.8.

Ditto, mostly, most stuff I like that they cover on that site, they seem to review well I even got some stuff on the basis of reading some reviews on there, and liked that too. I fail at being indie Then again Ferry Corsten's remix album is one of my CDs of the year so that's no great surprise |

Whenever I revise my previous list, Girls' Album will definitely be there.
Two somewhat-comparable releases this year would be from the Smith Westerns and the Mint Chicks, and I enjoy Girls so much more.

I dunno, I gave them a listen and didn't really hear too much that was interesting to me. Plus, the dude's voice sounds like he's trying way too hard to give it that "duuuuuude" inflection. That's just me though, apparently a lot of people have really loved it, or utterly loathed it. I wasn't particularly moved one way or the other.

Haven't felt the urge to go listen to Girls. Am I missing something? It's always your call whether to check things out or ignore whatever. If you haven't felt the urge because you've already listened to them, I'm not going to force you, ha. If you haven't had the urge because haven't listened to anything from them yet, here's the video for the first track, Lust for Life. I downloaded Album back when bedhead posted it in the MF thread, and it's really grown on me. I don't see his voice as a trying too hard "duuuuude" inflection. Owens seems earnest. Even on potential cheese tracks like "Big Bad Mean Mother Fucker" (a great segue to "Hellhole Ratrace") or "Headache." I think it's funny I enjoy this album so much considering what I said earlier about why The Pains of Being Pure at Heart doesn't catch me at all, but while both have their obvious influences, Girls sticks with me. Something about the overall vibe: from his voice, to the lyrics, to the guitars, to all those little touches included throughout the songs. *makes a note to try and see them live* |

This is my pre-list list, hastily thrown together just then because my God I listen to a lot of music and I'm really not looking forward to doing the end of year list. So I thought I'd get a head-start and then try to slide the next two months' worth of stuff in as I go. Obviously this list is highly subject to my mood right now, and I could probably come back to it tomorrow and have no idea what I was thinking. Also it feels like more than a year even since I've listened to some of this stuff and I've barely listened to quite a lot of it.
I think I'm going to have to set aside a good week or maybe two for exclusively going through all of this year's music, one by one, before I do the end-of-year list. Yes, I take list-making that seriously, even though nobody will even read the damn thing. Anyway:

On first listen, it's pretty average - I'm hoping I'll get a better impression as I listen more. But it seems to have a very strong sense of ridiculousness to it while still being very Weezerish.

All this hullabaloo about "oh, if only Weezer could make an album that was as good as Blue/Pinkerton" is complete cock and is much like hoping your scumbag boyfriend isn't gonna cheat on you again when he does so repeatedly. Rivers sucks, the whole band sucks, AHHHH C'MON FUCK THIS BAND, let's just forget that they ever existed. If you don't believe in them they can't hurt you anymore!
