Album Of The Year

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

Hello. I'd like to know what you guys think. My musical intake is limited. I nominate Era Vulgaris by Queens of the Stone Age. So far it has proven the most listenable and all around great album for me.

 

Oh and Hospital Music as well. So far I feel like that will stand the test of time pretty well. What else do you got?

[AnOceanPearl]

Personally, Hospital Music is right up there, along with Wilco's Sky Blue Sky.

[primetime_deliverance]

In Rainbows - Radiohead

Hissing Fauna - Of Montreal

 

personally I like Weekend in the City by Bloc Party a ton - but it wasn't really that highly reviewed. One of my top 3 though.

explosions in the sky - all of a sudden i miss everyone.

 

i love hospital music, but i rarely listen to it all. in fact, i haven't listened to the entire album since i first got it, and i always skip the two covers. the explosions in the sky album is a perfect album. i can listen to it from beginning to end, and it all flows beautifully together.

wintersleep - welcome to the night sky.

[Computer]

Hospital Music

The Reminder

United Abominations - Megadeth, or was that 06....

[primetime_deliverance]

Hospital Music has so much filler it should have been an EP...

[Shiri]

The National - Boxer

Bloc Party - A Weekend In The City

Interpol - Our Love To Admire

[Muran]

BT - This Binary Universe. Quite possibly one of the most beautiful albums I've ever listened to.

Wintersleep and Radiohead

BT is regularly known as a Trance artist, but this particular album is more ambient. No Trance whatesoever. I've also heard it been described as "modern classical".

thanks. descriptions like "quite possibly one of the most beautiful albums i've ever listened to" capture my interest. and that wiki article made me more interested. i'm downloading it.

[Shiri]

Let me know if you like it Chris, if you do, I'll get it as well ;)

[Muran]

I'm so happy that you are. I wish it had a little more publicity, it really is quite genius. Too bad you won't have the DVD, because some of the animations are spectacular.

[borntohula]

grinderman is up there for me. i don't think i can pick a favorite overall, though. i've got a list in the works, and i'll post MP3s to go along with it.

 

i agree with some of the albums already listed, namely QOTSA, matt, and the national.

 

i'd also like to add:

 

spoon - gagagagaga

battles - mirrored

and

the dillinger escape plan - ire works

I still need to get The Shepherd's Dog, Iron and Wine are fantastic.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

Hey Audio of Being and Soundless Space, how would you describe Fear of a Blank Planet. It's inspired by a book I quite like, and I'd like to give it a listen, but I'm not sure what kind of music it is.

 

And I forgot about Grinderman, awesome album.
