Holy Shit, “Step”. So good.

 +5Posted on Jan 10th | re: The 10 Best Walkmen Songs (92 comments)

“Thinking of a Dream I’ve Had” is so underrated. They hardly play it nowadays but I still believe it’s the best song they’ve ever written. It should have the same status that “The Rat” has.

this sounds absolutely nothing like Hot Chip

Transcendental Youth at number 3?! No way!

I wholeheartdly agree with the top 4 but Summer Sun is such an underrated record.

 +1Posted on Aug 30th, 2012 | re: Belle & Sebastian Albums From Worst To Best (70 comments)

Yeah, that’s just puzzling. Expectations! I Don’t Love Anyone! And those two aren’t even the best songs on that record.

 -5Posted on Aug 30th, 2012 | re: Belle & Sebastian Albums From Worst To Best (70 comments)

Let’s agree to disagree, shall we?

1. Sinister
2. Tigermilk
3. Push Barman
4. Life Pursuit
5. Arab Strap

(big gap here)
6. Write About Love
7. Fold Your Hands
8. Dear Cataatrophe Waitress
9. Storytelling

(Waitress at #2 is just insane. Mediocre songs, terrrrrible production. Ugh)

Can’t happen soon enough *fingerscrossed*

“Keep Your Eyes Ahead” is one of the more underrated albums of the past 10 years. This song, however, not that good…

Great Song. But 128 kbit/s-download? Is it 2002 again? Goddamit.

In light of how many of those reunion albums turned out to be absolutely fucking terrible (Stooges, Big Star… seriously, the list is endless. Dinosaur Jr. and Mission Of Burma are probably the only exceptions) i’m totally fine with acts who just keep on touring and not releasing anything new. Remember Bam Thwok?

They’ve now got the same problem as Spoon. They reached that certain plateau where ir’s kinda difficult to get yourself excited for a new album by them because, literally, their whole output is so consistently great.

guys, this was terrible.

 -4Posted on Jan 3rd, 2012 | re: Way Yes - "Important" (8 comments)

I liked every song of theirs so far but this is a massive disappointment. Really bad production, sounds like a demo.

Allo Darlin, Tennis!!, Vampire Weekend

 +1Posted on Dec 6th, 2011 | re: Heavenly Beat - "Presence" (Stereogum Premiere) (2 comments)

So why is this only available as a stream? People do realise that I’ll buy the 7″ only if I’m able to listen to the song while i’m on the bus/bike etc. with my mp3 player, right?

Of course it’s kinda unfair to expect a huge musical evolution with every album but this for me this is the first Radiohead album that’s just “another Radiohead album”. The cool thing about Radiohead was always that they’re trying to incorporate as many electronic sounds as they find while still being a guitar band underneath.

I see Thom Yorke’s DJ-Set and it’s obvious that he’s really into Dubstep, Four Tet etc. and i don’t know why but i kinda expected that Radiohead will experiment with Dubstep (sub-bass) sounds on their Post-In Rainbows record or maybe let their sound evolve even further in anonther direction. It didn’t happen. Well, nothing happenend at all. “The King Of Limbs” is just another collection of Radiohead songs that we’ve already heard at some point in their career.

i honestly dislike all these bands except craft spells which i think don’t belong on this list anyways.

there’s some really really great production on this record.
