8 is very generous

it most certainly is

fair

everyone knows it's a 10 so cool

AOTY from where I'm sitting

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!

Blondes

Three 10/10s by April?

hmmmm

oh thanks a lot

jerk

NEIN

THE Didz Hammond?

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

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

too restrained for my liking

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

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.

Thom Gibbs, you da man

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

they used to be so good :(

i agree
