Recommend an Album... And why

[Akayz]

Oh now that album... I can get on board with :v:

Definitely one of the top 10

[editline]25th October 2010[/editline]

of the year

[Teto]

Seen that album posted around the internet quite a bit actually. I should give it a listen.
For me, favourite albums of the year would be;
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NjTVkCnFO8]"The Winter of Mixed Drinks" - Frightened Rabbit[/url]
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH_7_XRfTMs]"The Suburbs" - Arcade Fire[/url]
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrQ0z7P5pt0]"I love you! I love you! I love you and I'm in love with you! Have an awesome day! Have the best day of your life!!" - The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt![/url]
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1HeIpHMC_o]"We Were Exploding Anyway" - 65daysofstatic[/url]

And reviews say the new Agalloch album is fantastic, but I'll wait and see.
I think I've posted those albums before though, so I wont bother giving details again. I'll just link each name to my favourite song from the album.
Also the new Swans album is ok too [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsXsxehyPpc[/url]

[Akayz]

Neil Young's Le Noise album is also up there.

and The National.

[Teto]

Amazon keeps telling me I should buy the new National album. I should probably give that a look.
Also Neil Young, since I watched one video for it, and it was pretty good.

[Akayz]

I wouldn't recommend to listen to them as first albums by the artist, because they have both made better ones.

But for the year, they are fantastic.

Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle, this has some great music on it, with great leading guitar licks and great vocals.

Parov Stelar - Shine.

Amazing album, if you love jazz, you will definitely love this. I'm pretty sure the guy who made this is french, but all the songs are in english. This guy's other work is absolutely phenomenal as well.

My personal favorite song from the album is "Autumn Beasts"

If you like this album, don't stop here, he makes really funky, jazzy, upbeat songs, that I am in love with.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield

Progressive masterpiece. Features only one, 49 minute, song, and is amazing from start to finish

[Akayz]

Mindboggilingly great, and produced by Dangermouse.

Its definitely a band I am liking more and more, as I listen to more of their albums. I just ordered a copy of this on lp for £10 new.

This may well be my new favourite modern band :v:

At The Drive-In's Relationship of Command is absolutely one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a Punk-Hardcore album that mixes many variations of calm to extremely energetic songs that - as cheesy as it seems - are really like great angsty (yet very good) teen creativity anthems. Very great vocals and lyrics. At the Drive-In was the precursor to The Mars Volta by the way.

Fucking love this album.

Also, if you once listened to it, and didn't like it. Give it a few chances, it grows on you. The track 'Enfiliade' was what was the hook for me.

This album is a [I]very[/I] good orchestral/soundtrack album. Listen to "Pompeii" while taking a shit and feel like you are saving mankind.[/QUOTE]
Just noticed he posted this album before one of the frontmen of the band died.

Rest in Peace.

I remember listening to night is the new day and thinking that it sounded exactly like Opeth

EDIT

That's not a bad thing either!

Heavyweight is good, but personally my favourite is Forgive Me.
I need to listen to that album more though, seriously.
