Albert Hammond Jr.-Yours To Keep

Fucking Awesome. Absolutely KILLS the newest Strokes album

11/29/2006 9:21:59 PM

Half the bands on myspace kill the new Strokes album.

11/30/2006 12:06:53 AM

^yeah, but none of those bands actually have members in the strokes

11/30/2006 9:35:29 AM

^what does that even mean?
brand new - the devil and god are raging inside me

11/30/2006 9:48:38 AM

it means that albert hammond jr is the guitarist from the strokes and his album is 10x better than the latest strokes album.

pretty much, he horded all his hooks for his solo album

"what the fuck are these bands you people are naming"

you see, jeff, college kids like to be cool "scenesters" and name as many obscure bands as they possibly can to demonstrate they're not mainstream.

11/30/2006 12:04:03 PM

^no, it's because the albums are actually really good.

of the mainstream albums that come out, maybe 3 are worth listening to

11/30/2006 12:08:33 PM

i'm not saying they're not. you have to admit that people will overlook or downplay mainstream albums, and list obscure albums that really suck just to look cool.

11/30/2006 12:09:53 PM

^I don't think that's the case at all. I'm not saying that doesn't go on, but most of the "underground" albums are much more creative and don't have the marketing bullshit that goes along with the mainstream stuff. More art, less fluff. that's just my opinion though.

11/30/2006 12:11:58 PM

TYPICAL SCENESTERS!

11/30/2006 12:16:53 PM

IF THERES NOT A MILLION DOLLAR MARKETING BUDGET BEHIND IT I WONT LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11/30/2006 12:44:29 PM

i had never heard of sufjan stvens before i came to prague, but hes really good. game theory is my favorite album this year though.

11/30/2006 2:00:24 PM

I just got the Figurines album Skeleton and I'm pretty sure it's my favorite thing I've heard all year.

11/30/2006 4:48:07 PM

clipse - hell hath no fury







hands down

11/30/2006 5:34:04 PM

i hate to break it to you all...but project pats album is NOT the best album of the year

i way waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay disappointed...i mean you have no idea the expectations i had with this...its just too played out and mediocre

i mean i didnt expect him to reinvent himself or something but i was thinking there would be a couple instant classics on here...dont really think there are any classics on this cd

11/30/2006 7:42:33 PM

SHOCKING

11/30/2006 7:44:27 PM

i heard the best description of project pat ever...he is the best ignorant rapper there is

[Edited on November 30, 2006 at 8:12 PM. Reason : .]

The Roots - Game Theory

I'm anticipating Nas' new album to join them.

12/2/2006 9:26:36 PM

"Beck - The Information"

I'm a little surprised that this hasn't been mentioned more -- I think this one comes closest to a successful follow-up to Odelay (if that makes any sense).

I loved Mewithoutyou -- Brother, Sister

"I think this one comes closest to a successful follow-up to Odelay"

i couldn't disagree more. beck made two great albums directly after odelay.

perhaps this is the best attempt to recreate odelay

12/5/2006 6:17:10 PM

i'm retarted
