Albums Of The Year 2004.

[Nibbler]

The Walkmen - Bows and Arrows. Thx.

 

[Jonaldo]

Jet - Get Born
Jack Johnson - On and on (think it was 2003 though)

 

[maxi]

I think Jet released their album mid 2003 too. Whilst I'm here I have to add(and I mean no offense by this, Jonaldo) I think Jet rank highly as one of the very worst most offensive bands in music today

 

[Jonaldo]

No offense taken, music is all about taste and not fact. As it is there haven't been many opinions of yours I've agreed with, and why should I change the habit of a lifetime?

 

[Bodhi]

Precisely Jonaldo, I'd take it as a blessing the maxi doesn't like it in all honesty. He cartainly helped me appreciate the Snow Patrol album even more.

 

[mank!]

Snow Patrol really are extraodinarily dull though.

 

[Bodhi]

That's why I said they're good for chilling out to, when you really don't want to listen to anything too challenging and you've already listened to the Chilled Euphorias 297 times that week.

 

[mank!]

I just really don't get it, chilled music doesn't need to be boring and Snow Patrol really are frighteningly dull. I can't quite understand why anyone would like them and I'm not trying to be an elitist twat or anything, I can see why people like Britney Spears and Westlife, but why Snow Patrol?!

 

[Bodhi]

Ever thought I don't find it especially boring? There are some good songs on there, enough to engage me but not enough to take my mind of the more important stuff I'm normally doing when I listen to that type of music. They are about 400x better than Boredplay tho.

Yeah, I don't get the whole Snow Patrol thing either. Just another band pressed out of the same mould as Travis et al. And they are very very dull.

Got the new Beasties album. Definately, IMHO, front runner for album of the year. Why bother with shite like Snow Patrol when there's stuff like that around?

 

[maxi]

I can understand that...but...something so obviously void of excitement is never ever gonna make an album of the year for me. It's the musical equivalent of Curtains.

Curtains are sort of neccesary though, Snow Patrol aren't.

 

[Jonaldo]

Only problem I have with Beastie Boys, much as I love them, is that they're really starting to sound the same with every release Ch Che Check it out or whatever it's called is so vastly similar to about 3 or 4 tunes they've released in the past that I'll just keep my BB anthology album and be happy with that.

Gurnox, if you want to chill to some nice easy going guitar based music, try Jack Johnson. It's totally not exciting music and nothing you would ever consider turning up loud and rocking out to. Acoustic blues/folk/pop blends from a beach surfer bum, some may class it as boring but it's the ideal stuff to mellow out to in the hot summer sun when you just can't be bothered to expend any energy.

 

[ReActor]

Everything I've bought this year has been disappointing. Who Killed The Zutons? is probably the best thing so far.

The Scissor Sisters' album wins the Nice Surprise award, though.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll give 'em a listen.

 

[Jonaldo]

Oh and Pete Murray - Feeler, an album that was released in 2004 is pretty good and mellow too

 

[harebear]

Doubt many people have heard of them but the album ive enjoyed most this year would be Lamb Of Gods "As the places burn"

I also have the new Beasties album, and it's damn good. Not sure if it's going to displace N*E*R*D or The Streets from the top of my list, but a definite candidate for number 3. However even with that in my collection i still have room for Snow Patrol. Who said I had to remember all of my Albums of 2004 in 2005? I've already forgotten most of the Thrills album.

good music has longevity surely? I still listen to 60% of my favourite stuff from last year.

Lacks bass, and it's Lamb Of God, not Gods. Decent, not near album of the year though.

 

[Nibbler]

I think Harebear merely forgot the apostrophe

 

[shanks]

Oh and it's "As The Palaces Burn" while we are on the subject.

 

[Jonaldo]

Bad, catchy music also has longevity. It's all about what entertains you.

People still listen to Boney M 25 years on but that don't make it good

 

[Bodhi]

Yes, I'm very much the same. Ever thought Snow Patrol might fall into the other 40% for me? Ever thought? Ever?

 

[maxi]

Yeah my comment was badly worded. ENtirely wrongly worded. I still listen to all my favourite albums of last year, 60% regularly. I wouldn't forget what was on one though. Not after a year, especially if it was a 'fvaourite'

 

[Bodhi]

That'll be cos you're ridiculously anal about music!

 

[harebear]

Thanks for the help Shanks, I've been a weee bit tierd/sicky for ages now I know its not actually the best I've heard but I was listening to it when I posted so I just used it.


(correct that motherfucker! , you prolly can I just had nasty accident while riding and need sleep )

No worries, im just so tired of things that sound like melo-death from gothenburg these days. It's a nifty cd though as one is to expect when Devin Townsend is involved.

 

[Munkey]

Oh aye, new Beastie Boys album is great. Gonna have to go get the new N*E*R*D album, but from what i've seen on TV from the music channels looks good.
