Quick Someone Get The Preacher...I'm In Love
- Modest Mouse: Good News For People Who Love Bad News
- Sounds like: Good old bad times rolled into one glorious album.
Holy Crap, I Didn't Know Granny Could Dance That Fast
- The Arcade Fire- Funeral
- Sounds like: It's not the second coming, probably just an apostle or two.
- Franz Ferdinand- Franz Ferdinand
- Sounds Like: F****n great...man.
- Les Savy Fav: Inches
- sounds like: Sum 41 discover artistic talent and decide to remake Daydream Nation.
- The Libertines - The Libertines
- Sounds like: The Libertines are the last perveyors of gnarly rock with big balls. Hail the big balls.
- Madvillain: Madvillainy
- sounds like: The best rap album since The Chronic...seriously.
- Mark Lanegan Band: Bubblegum
- sounds like: Tom Waits becomes a blues-metal artist and decides to emote like Sinatra while letting out the occassional rocker.
- Mission Of Burma: OnOffOn
- sounds like: Mission Of Burma, what'd you think.
- The Streets: A Grand Don't Come For Free
- Sounds like: A man who made an incredibly great album makes another, bitch slapping the rest of his sophmore competition.
- Kanye West: College Dropout
- Sounds like: Rap gets an infusion of goodness after what we shall call the Ruffryder/Bad Boy era...also known as the black hole of craptaculacity.
Look, My Toe Is Tapping
- Devandra Banhart: Rejoicing The Hands
- sounds like: Hippy chick/dude? unleashes torrent of weird lyrics, weird vocals, weird melodies, weird everything basically. Somehow it works.
- Bjork: Medula
- sounds like: That old funky Bjork weirdness.
- Morrisey- You Are The Quarry
- He slags of Americans with such brutal wit that I couldn't help but snicker...but I wasn't ammused...honest.
- Rogue Wave: Out Of The Shadow
- sounds like: Fuzzy power-pop band does tribute album to Elliot Smith.
- Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose
- Sounds like: A great country artist reinvigorated by a weirdo genius. Rocks hard dude...but in a slow way.
- Brian Wilson- Smile
- Sounds like: After 30 years it should've been better...not that it isn't a masterpiece...but c'mon, thirty years!
Pass Me Some Tea While I Turn The Volume Up
- Interpol- Antics
- Better than I first thought...yet only "Evil" even comes close to the rapture of the first album. Download of a website or burn off a friend...don't waste good money on this album.
"Thank God It's Over" "mumble mumble" "So You're Saying That Was Only The First Song...Crap"
- Animal Collective - Sung Tongs
- So you rent a jukebox to record your album but the only sound you can make is kabuki grunts and badly strummed guitar. Animal Collective have already done it for you, live the dream.
M. Banhart's record keeps growing on me. The more I listen, the more I love.
Whilst driving my belongings 500 miles up a twisty road I listened to D.B. as the sun was setting and night was beginning to creep in. Perfect time, perfect album. I was like "Dude, I love this album." Which will kick off my new series of lists. What albums should be listened to when.
T'ho

Some good descriptions, pretty funny. I like the Lanegan one the best. Great record. I'm glad to hear someone say the Libertines new one is good because every thing I've heard so far has been "like Up the Bracket, but not as good." I'll have to pick it up and see for myself, I guess.
I like Up The Bracket but it's got a weak second half, no such problem on the new album. Happy hunting.
