Bill Fay- Life is People
http://cdn3.pitchfork.com/albums/181...e.fbb63cd8.jpg
Just heard, and it definitely makes my top 5. This guy is 69 years old and hasn't released and album since 1971. It's singer-songwriter type music, but extremely well-produced and he's obviously well versed on today's studio conventions. None of it sounds dated whatsoever. Reminds me of Jeff Buckley at times. Great record.
I didn't see anything about Koi No Yokan. No love for the new Deftones CD? I thought it was fantastic!

01- The Offspring - Days Go By
02- Blink 182 - Dogs Eating Dogs (EP)

I should check out that new Cancer Bats record.
I've never really given those dudes as hot yet.
Days Go By is still my favorite, but the new NOFX album is pretty rad too.
North by MATCHBOX 20 has got a couple of half decent songs
NO DOUBT has one or one and a half good songs in there.
SOUNDGARDEN is solid kickass rock
DAYS GO BY is solid and I'm not being biased. BUt I can listen to the whole thing from start to end
LINKIN PARK has a couple of good songs too
Sell out artists who I will not ever buy any of their shit ever again, is Maroon 5 and probably TRAIN too. (Matchbox 20 getting real close to that section too)
In alphabetical because I can't make decisions:
Arms Of Ra - Unnamed (sick french post-hardcore/black metal)
Caspian - Waking Season (instrumental, great stuff)
Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind (heavy as fuck punk)
DEATH GRIPS - The Money Store (punk as fuck rap music, holy shit this album)
Dodecahedron - Dodecahedron (pure evil)
Glocca Morra - Just Married (tons of fun! this is a great record)
Hop Along - Get Disowned (this is probably the sleeper hit you guys need to hear this record)
John K Samson - Provincial (obviously, a wonderful songwriter)
Vijay Ayer Trio - Ascension (great jazz record, tons of replay value, great trio)
So many albums I wanted to listen to but didn't get a chance to. Oh well. Music is awesome this year.
Yea I can't decide the certain numbers this time either.
