Yes, this is the best titled album ever. But mostly, it's just really fun. It's perfectly great music that has no intentions of being taken seriously, but end up being seriously respected by me

I don't think I would be exaggerating if I said that this album is changing my life. It truly is an indescribable album that it futuristic and fun and happy and fresh and everything else you want in music. If you have any faith in my word, you will immediately go buy this album

Sea Change: Beck

2 people recommended this item

Description

I love status quo beck. We all do, but something magical happened in 2002, when he substituted sarcastic lyrics for deeper, more sincere melodies. Sea Changes happened and it's one of the best albums of the decade.

The Moon & Antarctica: Modest Mouse

First to recommend

Description

For me, Modest Mouse have never been a name synonymous with awesomeness. They were actually always just the Float On guys or Good News for People Who Love Bad News, but before that, we got this one. It's a truly iconic rock album

The Evangelicals: The Evening Descends

First to recommend

Description

Hailing from small town Oklahoma, The Evangelicals have gained national status on the independent music scene. Not to mention, they just got back from a European tour and pulled some opening gigs for Conor Oberst (the Bright Eyes frontman). It really is wondrous that three people can make such complex music.

Give Up: The Postal Service

This, the one and only studio album from Postal Service proves to be more than enough. It may not be on par with my current taste in music, but it's innovative sounds have proven timeless in my life.

Fleet Foxes

Description

This is one of the albums I can't stop listening to. No, they're not some weird experimental progressive band, but I still have trouble tying to box them into a particular genre. So, I wont. I'll just say this, I really like 'em and it's a good album. A great album, really.

Girl Talk - Feed the Animals

4 people recommended this item

Description

The newest album from Girl Talk, the moniker of Gregg Gillis pulls an "In Rainbows" and allows listeners to pay whatever they want for the album. I guess it's only fitting. You know, because he blatantly "samples" everybody's music, without paying loyalties. Regardless of your thoughts on his process, this is one of the most fun albums I've heard all year. The highlight comes at the end of track six when he mixes Yael Naim's "New Soul" (the song from the Apple commercial) with some Eminem song telling you to "get buzz, get drunk, get crunk..."

It's a fusion of all genres of music, creating some weird, pseudo club music that nearly anyone can enjoy.
