Best NON-Metal Albums of 2010

[Krilons Resa]

I saw BSS on Friday night. It was pretty damn good.

It probably won't see the light of day in 2010 BUT!!!! ---> http://www.spin.com/articles/radioh...tm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter092110

 

[Dick Sirloin]

New albums streaming from SWANS and NO AGE.

SRSLY EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR TAME IMPALA. EVEN THE METAL PPL.




Dreamy stoner rock?

 

[Demilich]

Heavier than expected! Is this a good thing? Time will tell!

 

[Ellestin]

Sounds like Colour Haze turned shoegaze. Don't think I'll care much for this stuff but it's pretty cool. Anxiously awaiting new material by Mammatus instead!

 

[swizzlenuts]

I actually really liked that. I am checking out more jew tube videos now.

They're doing a North American headline tour, too.

US & Canada Headline Tour
Tame Impala will be returning to American soil this Fall, heading out on a month-long headlining tour across the US and a few shows in Canada. The last time they were stateside was supporting MGMT and their own mini headline tour saw the band sell out 3 shows in each New York and Los Angeles.

Bands also playing these shows are Stardeath and White Dwarfs & Kuroma

Go check 'em out. They put on a stellar performance.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

I see they are playing 2 blocks away from my apt in Dec.


VERY NICE

 

[Ars Magna]

No matter how many times I try or how many bands I listen to, I just can't get into that kind of music. I might even place it lower than country on the scale.

 

[Disgustipated]

Alright so Forgiveness Rock Record has been SERIOUSLY growing on me and I've been loving it of late.

The new Interpol is weak compared to past offerings. I've not given it much of a chance, granted, but it seems much to modest for an Interpol record.

As mentioned in the Nick Cave thread, Grinderman 2 is well worth a listen.

Anyone heard the new Deerhunter? Is it even out yet?

EDIT: Ok, I scrolled up the thread and saw Dickyboy had already made mention of the Deerhunter. Gunna check that out now.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Listened to the free stream of the new Deerhunter...meh.

That Mumford & Sons album is quite fuckin' catchy.

How's the new Swans?

 

[Krilons Resa]

New albums streaming from SWANS and NO AGE.

That No Age is downright awful.

 

[Krilons Resa]

That Mumford & Sons album is quite fuckin' catchy.

Fuck yeah. This shit is great.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

That No Age is downright awful.

Agreed, to an extent. The combination of mellowing out and playing it safe has led to a very disappointing album. From now on I stick with Nouns. I don't even like their early songs that much either.

Listened to the free stream of the new Deerhunter...meh.

....but this is where you fail.

 

[Krilons Resa]

But I'll try again at some point.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Sputnik gave the new Sufjan a 5 out of 5.

LMFAO.....Dude, that Deerhunter is laughably bad.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Let's steer the conversation back to adult prog, por favor.

 

[Krilons Resa]

LOL


The Sufjan Stevens - Age of Adz is completely NOT what I was expecting. Very electronic. With that said, upon first listen, it's fucking great!!! It's almost like modern day Flaming Lips, but soo much better.
