anyone checking the new neil young le noise?

Zeed Stun · Post by **Zeed Stun** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 12:30 pm

^ yeah i actually gave it a listen yesterday. It was kinda weird (definately not what you'd expect from neil young) but i liked the overall vibe.

Not album of the year status though, imho.

I like that there Crystal Castles release a lot. NO HOMO.

ObeseJesus · Post by **ObeseJesus** » Tue Nov 23, 2010 11:37 am

The self-titled Fang Island album is really good, especially the first half. Powerful stuff.

Also, I just got that Portugal, The Man- American Ghetto and it's rele rele dope. Got the Miami Horror too b/c of this thread, good tuneage indeed.

Machiventa · Post by **Machiventa** » Wed Dec 01, 2010 7:15 pm

Cee Lo Green
Aloe Blacc - Good Things
Pantha Du Prince - Black Noise
Twin Shadow - Forget

I do.

ackbar · Post by **ackbar** » Thu Dec 02, 2010 10:47 pm

also think this deserves a mention in this thread (even tho it won't make it to any polls).. it perfectly sums up the best dance scene of the year

I think both The Juggs and The Dead Weather albums were worthy of the list.

The Afronaut · Post by **The Afronaut** » Sun Dec 05, 2010 11:51 am

*shrug* Dont know if it was the best per se, but The Black Keys Brothers record was probably my most played non-hip hop release this year.

I wanted that Mark Ronson record to be soooo much better.

HubertGAM · Post by **HubertGAM** » Sun Dec 26, 2010 5:00 pm

Phantogram - Eyelid Movies
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - Horse Power EP
Matthew Dear - Black City

Da Me · Post by **Da Me** » Mon Jan 03, 2011 1:12 am

Innerspeaker might have been the album of the year.

No one mentioned Souljazz Orchestra- Rising Sun

The Foals album is really, really impressive. I love it.

The Twin Shadow album is great as well. The 80's revival thing can get old, but it's executed to perfection on this album.

LOTS of good ones here!

Really like KEANE's Night Train EP
