a) The band that REALLY went TAAS this year was American Steel. So much so that they're now OPENING for the All American Rejects. Then again, "Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts" might just make my top 5 at the end of the year.
b) Can't Stop Partying was a great song when it was Rivers acoustic. Adding Lil Wayne fucked everything up.
Johnny C:
Nah, the Jermaine Dupri production is really terrible, the dude phoned it in. it probably would have worked* if it was just a straight Weezer track. "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" is a pretty rad song though! I don't have high hopes for the rest of the record but at least it's one of the best singles they've had in a while.
*Well, worked better.
Inlander:
So some day we're gonna get to Part II of this thread, right?
Anyway, the more I think about it the more I'm convinced that the best two albums I've heard this year have been Casiotone for the Painfully Alone vs. Children and Grand Salvo's Soil Creatures. Neither differ greatly from anything the artists concerned have done in the past, but both represent the best thing that each artist has so far put out (in my opinion). The Casiotone album, in particular, is clearly the encapsulation of everything he's been working towards so far while also being an astonishing leap forwards in both the depth and quality of his songwriting.
Lummer:
Well, guys.. It's still "Agorapocalypse" for me.
