im really really digging Story of the Year's "The Constant" its super melodic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-7vHsNTUEA)and has a lot of catchy songs!

and im still listening to Motion City Soundtracks "My Dinosaur Life" really interesting lyrics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-mntwBFHHE), i like they went back to darker stuff. way better than their last album.

also Close Your Eyes album is awesome! definitely check them out! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oka7kDpbqxQ) they combine a lot of good stuff! "We Will Overcome" is their full length, look it up!

[Sheluligans]

So far: Sleeping With Sirens, Four Year Strong, Isles & Glaciers, Alesana, OM&M

Looking forward to Circa's and Our Last Night's new albums.

[andthetruthwill]

So far, the most outstanding for me has been Hold Me Down by You Me At Six, The Emptiness by Alesana, and They Said A Storm Was Coming by Jamie's Elsewhere. Aside from those three, delving into others, this has been an extremely strong last three months of goodness overall.

[demondays524]

From what I can think of right now:

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
The Forecast - S/T
You Me at Six - Hold Me Down
Neon Trees - Habits

I'm enjoying "Congratulations" by MGMT, too, but I'm not sure I would consider it a "best album of 2010" yet. It's definitely a grower.

I really enjoy those four, and should probably check out the rest you have there.

[COREhorizon]

when did the wonder years full length come out?

January 26th

I'm loving all of the Four Year Strong, Vampire Weekend, and Beach House love in this thread :)

[IntoTheSun]

I really enjoy those four, and should probably check out the rest you have there.

Ha, sweet. It's been/is going to be a great year in music for sure. I recall seeing you in the Stars thread? Can't wait for the new album. What else have you been listening to?

[ohmessylife]

Ha, sweet. It's been/is going to be a great year in music for sure. I recall seeing you in the Stars thread? Can't wait for the new album. What else have you been listening to?

Yeah, I have really high hopes for The Five Ghosts, i'm getting antsy just thinking about it. Ah...let's see, lately I have been listening to: Thee Silver Mt. Zion - Kollaps Tradixionales, The Six Parts Seven - Silence Magnifies Sound, Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice, The Appleseed Cast - Peregrine, Flying Lotus - 1983, and a bunch of shoe-gaze stuff (e.g., Pale Saints, Catherine Wheel, Revolver, Thousand Yard Stare). What have you been spinning lately?

Oh, no wonder why I was confused for a second, I meant 2010 releases haha, but it's cool. I couldn't really get into Kollaps for some reason. Disappointing. The Appleseed Cast and Flying Lotus are artists I've been meaning to check out. FL has a new album coming out soon, no?

What have you been spinning lately?

http://www.last.fm/user/Anderadera Do add me if you have one!

Ah, my bad. I'm admittedly pretty far behind on my new releases...the life of a poor college kid. Flying Lotus is releasing Cosmogramma in May i think? Definitely check out The Appleseed Cast, they mix a lot of classic emo vibes with some post-rock tendencies.

[ndoleman]

The Rocket Summer - Of Men & Angels
You Me At Six - Hold Me Down
Before Their Eyes - Untouchable

Those two and A Sufi and a Killer are my favourites of this year. I still haven't had a chance to check out A Weather, but that will happen very soon. Also, today I heard the first two songs from These New Puritans' latest album and was very intrigued.

[whenyourearound]

Aloha - Home Acres

[IntoTheSun]

Those two and A Sufi and a Killer are my favourites of this year.

So pretty much, we are awesome. That's the new album by Gonjasufi, right? Haven't bothered to check that out yet.

I still haven't had a chance to check out A Weather, but that will happen very soon. Also, today I heard the first two songs from These New Puritans' latest album and was very intrigued.

Ha, I am currently in love with A Weather, I think you'd enjoy them. They definitely take a couple of listens to get into though. I've never heard of These New Puritans, what are they like?

[myplanforescape]

Dangers - Messy Isn't It
Thee Silver Mt. Zion - Kollaps Tradixionales
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Who Killed Sgt. Pepper?

[ohmessylife]

I've never heard of These New Puritans, what are they like?

Really cool band...I guess you would call it art rock. Alt rock-ish with some hip hop influence, a bunch of synths, and just a dash of classical influence.

[oddwithoutend]

So pretty much, we are awesome. That's the new album by Gonjasufi, right? Haven't bothered to check that out yet.
That's the one. You should definitely give it a listen.

I'll check it out.
I've never heard of These New Puritans, what are they like?
Well, I've only heard two songs. The first was a hauntingly sparse instrumental lead by a lonely french horn, and the second was a more atmospheric, beat-centric tune with eerie whispers.

[IntoTheSun]

That's the one. You should definitely give it a listen.

Haha, yeah I will. I think I read Brian's review of it at some point.

I'll check it out.

Tell me what you think when you do.

Well, I've only heard two songs. The first was a hauntingly sparse instrumental lead by a lonely french horn, and the second was a more atmospheric, beat-centric tune with eerie whispers.

Sounds intriguing enough. I'll give it a listen.

Edit: Completely unrelated, but Dom still isn't around! :sadface:

Edit: Completely unrelated, but Dom still isn't around! :sadface:
I just listened to Hidden (These New Puritans album) and became bored with the lyrical style and frustrated with the lack of direction. Just a heads up for when/if you decide to listen.

And I'm sure Dom will be back before long.

Gotcha. I'll still try it out though.

I think all I've listened to is the new Portugal. The Man.

Checking out Envy on the Coast right now, sounds pretty good.

Edit: Oh, and thread needs more Titus Andronicus and Fang Island.

[brothaman]

So far, the most outstanding for me has been Hold Me Down by You Me At Six, The Emptiness by Alesana, and They Said A Storm Was Coming by Jamie's Elsewhere. Aside from those three, delving into others, this has been an extremely strong last three months of goodness overall.

you cant be 30.

1. Jeff Martin and Steven Padin - The First Joke & Other Matters
2. Four Year Strong - Enemy of the World
3. Fair - Disappearing World
4. The Wonder Years - The Upsides
5. The Classic Crime - Vagabonds

I'm sure this will change since I haven't listened to the new I Can Make a Mess, and Cary Brothers is coming out in a couple weeks.

[tyramail]

i really like the new close your eyes and four year strong. but my favorite so far has been you me at six - hold me down.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Dangers - Messy, Isn't It?

[GoWaitInTheCar]

two words: american. slang.

It's not out yet..

[GoWaitInTheCar]

The new Murder By Death and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are also really good

I've only listened to this one time through, so far. But as of right now, I can easily say it's something I didn't want from them.

[Matt Chylak]

It's not out yet..

1/10 of it is better than a lot of the music released so far this year. it's a sure thing.

[HometownHero]

I've only listened to this one time through, so far. But as of right now, I can easily say it's something I didn't want from them.

Why's that? I thought it was enjoyable

[HometownHero]

you cant be 30.

I've said that to him before. Its really sad

[Polythoral]

Dillinger Escape Plan
Four Year Strong
Envy On The Coast
Story Of The Year
Foxy Shazam

Those 5 would probably be the best so far this year for me... Strangely diverse-ish, too. Wish Coheed hadn't been such a letdown.

[summer skin]

Lil Wayne Rebirth
MGMT Congratulations
Two Door Cinema Club Tourist History

are the first few that come to mind and based on the one single that's leaked Drake's album is going to be unstoppable.

[Deadbolt23]

Good good man. Why this album isn't on every list I'll never know haha. To put it very simply; great album.

I can only assume most people haven't listened to it. Which is why I'm trying to tell everyone how good it is at every opportunity :D
Definitely deserves to be heard.

[live.]

OF MICE & MEN'S self-titled debout album ,, OF MICE & MEN
this is deffanantly the best album iv heard this year !

...is that the only album you've listened to this year?

[briewer]

I haven't listened to nearly enough albums to judge, but Owen Pallett- Heartland, Pantha Du Prince- Black Noise, Tallest Man On Earth- The Wild Hunt, and Shearwater- The Golden Archipelago have all been solid.

[kearn1tm]

I haven't listened to nearly enough albums to judge, but Owen Pallett- Heartland, Pantha Du Prince- Black Noise, Tallest Man On Earth- The Wild Hunt, and Shearwater- The Golden Archipelago have all been solid.

Didn't you say you dug the Souljazz Orchestra album? We need more people talking about that.

[fanberlinboy]

Haven't listened to a ton this year, but the I Can Make A Mess album is hands down my favorite so far.

[briewer]

Didn't you say you dug the Souljazz Orchestra album? We need more people talking about that.
Yeah, there are some hot jams on that album. I'm not on my computer so I'm just naming things off the top of my head, but yeah, Rising Sun is a solid album.

[El_Jeffe]

Souljazz Orchestra have their moments. Their music obviously pays close homage to their influences, so sometimes when I listen to them I get the urge to turn on some Fela or Dibango instead. But they are decent.

[AriesKingdom]

Looking forward to The Classic Crime - Vegabonds, think that'll definitely make the list for me. At the moment though I'd go with Envy On The Coast - Low Country or Four Year Strong - Enemy Of The World.

[jbaseball44]

The Souljazz Orchestra -- Rising Sun Could use a link for this album if you have one

[yoyostring]

YES!

...but is being slowly taken over by the new I Can Make A Mess record.

[IntoTheSun]

I haven't listened to nearly enough albums to judge, but Owen Pallett- Heartland, Pantha Du Prince- Black Noise, Tallest Man On Earth- The Wild Hunt, and Shearwater- The Golden Archipelago have all been solid.

Eh, no point in doing this now, but why not. Gonna assume this means "favorite" when it says "best" so...

Favorites in somewhat order:

Owen Pallett- Heartland
Tallest Man On Earth- The Wild Hunt
A Weather- Everyday Balloons
Balmorhea- Constellations
Fang Island- S/T
Xiu Xiu- Dear God, I Hate Myself
Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson- S/T

Still so much I need to catch up on haha.
:wave:

[ThisIsNotDan]

Four Year Strong - Enemy of the Workd

Motion City Soundtrack - My Dinosaur Life
Jonsi - Go
Alkaline Trio - This Addiction

[muttley]

Going to add the new Crime In Stereo to my "list."

[kearn1tm]

[/list]Could use a link for this album if you have one

I bought it? Sorry.

[DavidSAW]

The new Wonder Years and Dillinger Escape Plan. Too fricken good.

[unajames]

Broken Bells
James Mercer lead singer for the Shins, Brian Burton from Danger Mouse and Gnarls Barkley
Influences included “trippy sixties pop bands like Love and the Zombies, and sci-fi movies like Contact and 2001” and described as “spooky and psychedelic” by Rolling Stone (Issue 1100 March 18 2010) They had me at Zombies.
It sounds awesome and the only thing I've been excited about so far.

[devzap516]

The dillinger escape plan- option paralysis

[jbaseball44]

I bought it? Sorry.
haha, no problem

[xtheaudition]

i need to get the wonder years! i got it in jan but my comps broken

[Airescape]

Sleeping With Sirens
Casino Madrid
Jamie's Elsewhere (idk if this was 09 or 10)

[Azriel]

Oh jeez, there's been a whole lot of awesome releases so far.

HIM: Screamworks
Greeley Estates: No Rain, No Rainbow
Four Year Strong: Enemy Of The World
Demon Hunter: The World Is A Thorn
Lifehouse: Smoke And Mirrors
Alkaline Trio: This Addiction

Currently jiving on those along with a few other notables. I've always been a huge HIM fan, so I got the deluxe edition of Screamworks and got it two days before official release. I was thoroughly pleased (to say the least).

And on top of that, we're supposed to have new releases from Sevendust, Stone Sour, Asking Alexandria, Bullet For My Valentine, and Disturbed.

[Stephin_DC]

I dunno if its me just expecting 2 much but nothing has really impressed me at all this year
This Addiction has moments of epicness (American Scream) but theres 2 much filler
I can't even get through My Dinosaur Life without loosing interest or falling asleep
Enemy of the World was alright, but I find once you've heard one Four Year Strong song you've generally heard them all
haha I could go on

Probably the only record that I really listen to alot thats come out this year is Ghosts on the Boardwalk by the Bouncing Souls (even though technically the songs were released last year)

[Azriel]

Enemy Of The World is an absolutely driving album for me, I can't find a dull moment on it. Even though it's only been out for a little over two weeks, it's by far one of my favorite albums of '10.

I think it's because they remind me of "Paper Walls"-era Yellowcard and they're pure nostalgia for me. Another reason is because it feels... like a pure summer album.

[tfar06]

deftones- diamond eyes and portugal the man- american ghetto. have a few others i like but im not gonna just throw anything in my aoty contention this early.

new album is kind of boring, the whole album is SO predictable and it sucks. i loved how all the songs flowed on rise or die, and these are solid stand alone tracks, but the second half of the cd just seems like filler. and the songs are so-so. maybe i pumped myself up for it to be awesome and now it isn't. but i just think the new cd isn't that great. i rocked it so much the first two days when i bought it last week and now i don't even listen to it anymore.

[Nettn07]

i dont do itunes, i prefer physical copies.

Oh, well then I don't know. I don't know if it were ever released as a physical copy. check his website or myspace.

[FuzzyPeach99]

The Wonder years has been my favorite up to this point. But i think Lowcountry will be good. And we still have nine more months to go, so we'll see December 31st what we're really liking then.

[JCCC]

Against Me!- White Crosses

soooo good. I highly recomend it, even if you weren't a big AM! fan before, there is a good chance you'll like this record. Only album I see that has the potential to beat this one out for AOTY is Gaslight Anthems new one.

[carljones]

new Daughters album most definitely and what I've heard from Murder By Death has been amazing. Astronautalis' new record is dope to boot/hoot/holler about and I can't believe that I haven't heard of the dude before. Geographical ignacne should have been eliminated by now. Dang.

At first, I loved the new Daughters, but the more I listen the more indifferent I feel about it.

[we are cured]

i haven't listened to everything i've wanted to, but so far broken bells, beach house and four year strong have really done it for me.

[xtheaudition]

i totally forgot about love from ava, it was whatever.

[Thomas Nassiff]

i totally forgot about love from ava, it was whatever.

I feel like it's good for what Tom was trying to do, and that if Tom wasn't so gung-ho on it then a lot more people would like it. Like...dude, we get it, there's no need for you to be so excited about your project. He embarrasses himself over it.

yeah thats true, i-empire was the best imo.

[HYGz]

I'm really digging the new Crime In Stereo

Enemy Of The World REALLY disappointed me. But I still jam it a few times a week just to see if I can get more into it, so far to no avail.

And of course MCS' new joint I am absolutely in love with.

[iSasquatchh]

that was for SOTY! ;-)

Haha. Sorry. I wrote the wrong acronym for some reason! God I'm a huge douche!

[maxvsmaradona]

I know City And Colour's Bring Me Your Love came out in 2008, but it may just be the best album I've listened to this year. And uh, I think my number 1 spot goes to The Felix Culpa's Sever Your Roots.

[Thomas Nassiff]

yeah thats true, i-empire was the best imo.

Yeah I agree. That's the album that turned me onto them, I only ever heard their stuff like a year ago.

[NateFoundGlory]

Haha. Sorry. I wrote the wrong acronym for some reason! God I'm a huge douche!

Do not question that guy's love for SOTY!

http://rateyourmusic.com/list/NateFoundGlory/aoty_2010_candidates

In order so far. Subject to change.

[aradiantsunrise]

A lot of talk about that Fair album, going to have to check that out soon.

[RJNapalmi]

You Me At Six - Hold Me Down is probably my favorite album so far. I really liked they're last one too but this is way better. The finnish alternative/prog/thrash/something metal band Stam1na also released a great album called Viimeinen Atlantis. You should check it out if you like bands like System of a Down. It's some raw energy :D

[xtheaudition]

Yeah I agree. That's the album that turned me onto them, I only ever heard their stuff like a year ago.

i followed them since we dont need to whisper, that and iempire, are the only ones i own.

[xtheaudition]

Haha. Sorry. I wrote the wrong acronym for some reason! God I'm a huge douche!

[sas1991]

[Thomas Nassiff]

AM Taxi's debut album drops on June 8. It's one of my top this year so far for sure.

[HometownHero]

the audition's great danger is fucking awesome.
It's completely grown on me. I enjoy it a lot

[mymusicismylife]

Titus Andronicus and Fang Island are my favorites so far.

[xtheaudition]

same here, i knew it'd be good, but not as good as it was!

[ChelseaRiane]

Circa Survive

/thread

[Thumper]

One of my faves is Great Danger by The Audition,
They're playing Slam Sunk festival and are touring the UK with The Rocket Summer so anyone who can make it should, they're amazing live and you wouldn't regret it!

[xtheaudition]

yeah! ^

[SLoT]

Freelance Whales - Weathervanes has been playing regularly since I found it. Also, the new Circa Survive is pretty stellar in comparison to what I thought of their previous albums, it definitely grabbed my attention. We'll see if it lasts throughout the rest of the year.

Los Campesinos! - Romance is Boring
The Morning Benders - Big Echo
Portugal. the Man - American Ghetto

[ChelseaRiane]

Go Radio-Do Overs and Second Chances would be good if it didnt sound so much like Mayday

[HoldThatSound]
