you'd think it'd be wiser to disable comments altogether

what the hell does that mean?

'this might be 9 in a few months, check back'

what application should you use to open these lists?

playlist not found

'popular avant garde music combo'

come on now. they're a rock band

absolute nonsense

my bloody valentine are irish/american

careful, we're very sensitive about that kind of thing!

i don't like when they separate a track like that

they did it with trilogy on daydream nation too.

hate to nit pick,

but that doesn't prove it's a great album, it proves that the song translates well live.

i think you should ignore the boards in future.

democracy doesn't work.
just let the community do their own list, and the writers do their own

you're asking him to champion flying lotus?

or dubstep? are you sure you've read these boards right??

listen to diver

'the kills album is shit and don't go forgetting it'.
laid into me before for 'not respecting other people's opinions' or some shit.
hypocrite

it's to be expected though..

just like the mojo list is going to be full of old bands, the q list full of stadium rock acts, the drowned in sound list is going to be predominantly bands like foals and their ilk.
i disagree with a lot of it, frightened rabbit at two is absolutely laughable...
is the sonic minefield doing an endofyear list?

you can't really call

nick cave, portishead, foals, fuck buttons easy listening. don't exagerate

when did karen o flash her knickers?

i want pictorial evidence

but DiS should know better as well

even reading the alleged quote, it was pretty vague and ambiguous. it's a bit pathetic blaming the bbc

i knew it was a silly story in the first place.

i hate when people hear one vague quote from somebody, jump the gun and run a story saying 'so-and-so have split up'..it's a bit tabloidy

good review.

i'm sick of people talking about them as if they're coming out with works of genius

hmmmmmm

not sure about of montreal. lot of nice ideas but it's a bit of a mess

nothing else to

read, on my lunch break at work. dunno why i'm justifying it anyway, it's not the magazine i'm giving out about, it's what franz were talking about in the article

i suppose my point

is they've been arsing around on this third album for a long time and they should maybe release some new music before theorising about their place in modern music

so tell us then

are they a pop band or a rock band that writes pop songs or a pop band that pretends to be a rock band so that they can sneak pop music into the...etc

fucking...

kapranos is so fucking pretentious..their second album was massively overrated and it'll be interesting to see what this one is like.
i read an article in q magazine recently and it was this big long spiel about how they were trying to figure out whether they were a pop band or whether they were a rock band who writes pop songs, blah blah..just fucking get on with it, who gives a shit?

are you actually

serious with that last sentence

'the libertines

weren't even that great'? fuck off! they were better than that crowd that won the fucking pluto prize

i haven't heard

the record yet, but the first sentence of this review says a lot to me : 'this record won't change your life'. you just don't say things like that about an album as highly anticipated as this without conveying the message that it's a disappointment, regardless of the score at the end of the review.

oh christ!

somebody had the nerve to criticize the sacred cows of the indie-scmindie brigade. what is to be done?

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

can we be friends

what a load of wank.

mentioning the word 'baby' a billion times in a song, regardless of the subject matter : shit.
using lyrics like 'liar liar pants on fire' : shit.
laughable, over-earnest bombast : shit.
'topical' songs dealing with 'edgy' subjects like bullying, street crime and social workers : oh fuck off.
bring back the fucking twang.

it's an

excellent album. i prefer in rainbows, but no complaints, it's well-deserved

^

preach it from the rooftops

i hear you brother.

preach it from the rooftops

what the fuck would the point

of this board be if every one said positive things about everything you dick??

white chalk is

bloody awful. well no not really, but once you get past the first four tracks the whole thing gets very repetitive and limited. and i love pj harvey

is music really moving forward in alot of these cases?

to take one example, portishead's third was done a whole lot better a full 10 years ago. mezzanine by massive attack was the album

i thought i was

pretty qualified to make the statement: 'PROBABLY because SO MANY of them are so average'.

ok so i read your post.

'one man's brilliance is another's annoyance'. so why am i not allowed to express my opinion that your pluto list is full of, in my opinion, average albums? you called my opinion rubbish. there have been, in my opinion, some outstanding albums released in the last 12 months: hercules and love affair, cut copy, crystal castles, fleet foxes off the top of my head..atlas sound and times new viking are two brilliant albums that i discovered through this website.

incidentally,

how many people voting for this thing own every album on the list?

damn i

failed maths!

70%

isn't just over 50%. if that's your first sentence i can't be bothered reading the rest.

oh 'most people

who genuinely love their music only listen to new music'? fuck off! no wonder so many people around here express daft opinions like 'the beatles were shit'..i listen to tons of new music (i'd say about 3 hours of new music a day) AND i listen to classics.
just cos you're passionate about music doesn't mean you shouldn't have standards, in fact it should make you more demanding about what's truly great and what's merely good. but then again, you are the guy who saw fit to award 'weekend in the city' a 9 rating.
for the record, i own 7 of the albums and i've heard enough material from the other ones to decide that they're not worth my hard-earned.

i'll bet

that there's not one album on the list that people are still goin to be listening to in three years time. as i said, maybe fuck buttons

probably

because so many of them are so average. fuck buttons got my vote but even that's hardly a classic

yeah

it is.

there's a few

albums here that are really being made out to be a lot better than they actually are by people on this website. portishead is one (it is NOT better than Dummy, and that's a fact). wild beasts is another. these new puritans. and listening to pj harvey's album all the way through is pretty much self-abuse. sorry

kele is a complete knob

goin by his interviews, where he pretentiously criticizes everything under the sun or moans about how miserable it is living in london (try burma or somewhere, yeah?). and before anyone thinks i'm takin sides, i point you to the post below

the sex pistols are

headlining the electric picnic in august. i hope they get booed off the stage, or better yet nobody turn up, it'd make my year. everything lydon has done since pil imploded has been a complete embarrassment, from appearing on i'm a celebrity get me out of here to this sordid incident. why can't he just fuck off?

doesn't really surprise me

john lydon has always been a complete piece of shit from day one. he's pathetic.
