New Yeah Yeah Yeahs album Show Your Bones
Thrillho:
I've never seen the point of people giving a 5/5 all the time. There are those who give 5/5 to albums which are great, and 4/5 to good ones, etc. and where do you go if you come across a true classic? I aways save my 5/5s for the very best stuff.
Garcin:
Ok, now I'm curious. Give me 5 5/5s from the past 5 years (and try saying that 5 times fast).
Thrillho:
Well, obviously these are my singular opinions and 'classics' probably isn't the operant word, but:
Kate Bush - Aerial
Twilight Singers - Powder Burns
Helalyn Flowers - Disconnection (EP)
Wilco - Kicking Television
David Gilmour - On An Island
The Mad Capsule Markets - 1997-2004
The Mad Capsule Markets - Live 020120
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (which I now regret)
And looking back I wish I'd given one to Takk by Sigur Ros. This is out of the 50 or 60 odd reviews I've done.
edit: and Howl by BRMC.
NosLycn:
Kate Bush?

I just thought I'd compare my experience with seeing them live on Friday with the very useful list above. It is very true that the songs from Show Your Bones are a completely different experience live.
--- Quote ---1 - They're more popular than when they started. Expect a different audience.
--- End quote ---
SO true. For one thing, there were a whole bunch of assholes who were just there to scream and push other people around
--- Quote ---2 - Give the opening band a chance. They're actually good.
--- End quote ---
No, I don't think so. The melodies were incredibly repetitive and unoriginal and the singing was either muddied and out of tune or screamy and unpleasant
--- Quote ---5 - Wear steel-toed boots. Mine came in very handy.
--- End quote ---
I wish that I had. I wore plain tennis shoes and my feet will never be the same again
--- Quote ---6 - If you don't like being pushed, shoved, or trampled, stand in the back.
--- End quote ---
I started out about 5 rows from the front and ended up being pushed around like meat in a grinder. However, once I escaped to the middle, I was surrounded by indie snobs who refused to move at all. There is certainly a very polarized audience now
