THE EIGHTEEN ALBUMS I BOUGHT IN 2008 THAT WERE MADE IN 2008, DESCRIBED IN EIGHT WORDS EACH
THE FALL Imperial Wax Solvent
Give it a rest will you, pal? Jesus.
SCHOOL OF LANGUAGE Sea From Shore
So you think you’re clever? Well, you are.
LAURA MARLING Alas I Cannot Swim
Better than fucking Noah and the fucking Whale.
CRYSTAL CASTLES Crystal Castles
Dirty pervebot Canuck freaks. Bring back National Service.
THE HOLD STEADY Stay Positive
Their worst record by miles. Still pretty good.
WIRE Object 47
So practice does make perfect, if rather predictable.
NEON NEON Stainless Style
Better than a pisstake has any right to be.
DAVID HOLMES The Holy Pictures
Was promised Taking Tiger Mountain. Got library music.
BLACK MOUNTAIN In the Future
Amber is the only rock goddess for me.
GUILLEMOTS Red
This band is so fucking special. This isn’t.
THE SHORTWAVE SET Replica Sun Machine
Three great singles and some high quality filler.
(Coming to a coffee table near you soon.)
TEGAN AND SARA The Con
You’re not nineteen forever, so pull yourself together.
FLEET FOXES Fleet Foxes
People say this is Horlicks. It’s more hemlock.
M83 Saturdays = Youth
The Mylene Farmer it’s OK to like. Oui!
GOLDFRAPP Seventh Tree
Haven’t listened to this much, to be honest.
XX TEENS Welcome to Goon Island
Fall imitators of the year. Has its moments.
TV ON THE RADIO Dear Science
Tonight, Matthew, I’m going to be… er, everybody.
METRONOMY Nights Out
This is how pop music should always sound.

For me it just shows how bad a year it was for albums - nothing for me in your lot that really made me think yes I'll get that - sorry

at least it was a good year for videogames :mellow:
twinz2z - January 4, 2009 04:32 PM (GMT)
Out of these, Neon neon, Crystal Castles and M83 are OK.
The Hold Steady,
Metronomy and Black Mountain are very good, (imo),
A couple im not to keen on, but I like the sound of The Shortwave set and XX Teens, I will look out for them.
Id advise Oakley Hall, if you dont know them, they rock it like Black Mtn. (on the same label Jagjagwar.

Well, if a review that reads "This is how pop music should always sound" doesn't do it then I'm happy to admit defeat.
