what no histrioinics in atleast honorable mention?

[yeknom]

good list, but you forgot the decemberists - picaresque.

[robhimself]

i thought jamison parker was pretty good.... and acceptance shouldve made a little higher on your list. its an incredible album. good choices though.

[waggy]

so unfair making us choose between NES and super nintendo

[TheNumberOneFan]

hmmm...

[oxfordqueef]

good old Super Nintendo. Women always stab me in the back and fuck my your life. SNES has never done that to me.

i <3 snes

[eric.randalls]

i love digital ash in a digital urn. yum.
it sucked at first, but then i kept listening and now i'm hooked.

and psone, just because the system has pretty much been dead for a long time but i'm still playing psone games. good price, good entertainment.
plus! some of the japanese psone games are crazy that never got released in the states.

[AsianMan696]

yeah I think the new JamisonParker is great.... and Histrionics definitely deserves at least an honorable mention.

[popdisaster00]

histrionics rocks. and am i the only person that likes cork tree? of course, i thought take this to your grave wasn't anything special at all. so i guess i'm opposites with everyone.

[DenverHarbor22]

I think its sad that Spitalfield has released an album that will go overlooked for a while. Eventually people will figure it out how great it is. Its like an indie Jimmy Eat World.

Histrionics is great. I haven't stop listening to that all week.

I also cant wait for the new Bayside. Since they found their sound on Sirens, anything by them from now on will be outstanding.
Other albums to look forward to:
Scary Kids Scaring Kids
Ambry
Bedlight for Blueeyes

[daang]

good call on the new spitalfield sucking. I loved the first one but was crushed by the mediocrity of thie new album

[Gleebo]

Man I haven't even got a chance to listen to the new Ryan Adams yet. Although I have humped the cd case a few times.

[b e L I E v e]

From under the cork tree on disappointments?!?!?!?

Replay that album.......

I respect ur opinion but highly disagree
