fair
everyone knows it's a 10 so cool
I mean fair enough, it is a well written review
but is this really a 10? no filler? dead-cert classic? perfect?
oh yeah I'm not dismissing your right to hand out a 10
I haven't heard RIP yet, gonna sit down with it today but I'm looking forward to it.
All I'm saying is, hey, it's pretty rare for that to happen three times with only 1/3rd of the year down; and twice in as many weeks!
Three 10/10s by April?
hmmmm
oh thanks a lot
jerk
agree with the score
the cull of 4-6 tracks would have taken it down to a considerably more manageable and enjoyable 50-60 minutes. similar to Goblin earlier in the year, just needed some quality control.
okay fair enough
apologies
I find it kinda odd that this M83 review has been given to someone with only two reviews in as many years under her belt
and both of them weren't great...
svenrokk's right
that annoys me the most
also, fix the forums up a bit, ta
no I agree there are some unquestionable good-to-great records there
The Weeknd and Shabazz Palaces as you say, I also really enjoyed Big K.R.I.T. Also the new HTDW EP is gorgeous.
yeah Nerdlinger I feel where yr coming from
2010 was awesome, prolly the best since 2007 but this year has seen nothing special whatsoever for me. Smith Westerns would be probably only record getting a look into my top 10, even then probs only top 15
seven other favourites of mine not in this list or mentioned in the 'where are they' category:
Smith Westerns - Dye It Blonde
Big K.R.I.T. - Return Of 4Eva
Panda Bear - Tomboy
Fucked Up - David Comes To Life
Siriusmo - Mosaik
Tyler, the Creator - Goblin
The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar
2008 was the Jay / Noel debacle,
just as a heads up
Wu are Pyramid, not Other
as said in the blurb
too restrained for my liking
I definitely prefer Nights Out

I definitely prefer Nights Out
I'm pitching at a strong 7, maybe a very weak 8 at a push
still, enjoying the ride
AFX was curious
lengthy ambient soundscapes, punctuated by Ramadanman's 'Work Them', Fis-T's 'Night Hunter' and Jam City's 'Ecstacy Refix', eventually building into gabba and jungle, finished with a blitz of white noise
Great article
Well played, Rory.
If I catch you I'll buy you a pint.
initially I thought 'light 6'
now I'm probably in 'decent 7' territory
definitely not as good as I had hoped, but it's grown a fair bit too
NME can do one
it's a great record
Marble Fields is great
the rest is bunk
I was hoping Yeasayer would make it
and they did. Terrific.
No you didn't
you gave it a 9
it says so, right there, on the link
btw
no Titus Andronicus and no Wavves = kinda criminal, imo
I can't get behind the Emeralds album in the same way I can others in this top 10
have tried though. One more go.
To be fair about Beach House
this often happens with DiS EOY lists. In '08 Fleet Foxes were 40something and last year xx was in the bottom three, so I believe?
How it goes.
Gorillaz SO LOW
madness
Yeah, really strong interview
Phenomenal band, and on great form in Nottingham too.
It's a great album - perhaps she ran out of steam but she's amalgamated everything into a neat package
For me this is further testament, alongside Janelle Monae, Kanye and others, that just-outside-the-mainstream pop has been brilliant in 2010
This album is a landmark
A 9 rather than a 10.0, granted, but something that's gonna be around for a while
If it's anything like Limit To Your Love
I'm all over it
YEAH DROWNED IN SOUND
bet you feel like dicks now you ruined a nice sentiment from none other than a HANDICAPPED KID with your very very slight criticism of the cover
cuntz
Franz and Belle & Sebastian
bit of a shocker missing those two
