1. John Frusciante - The Will to Death

Ein Album, das mich ganz und gar durchdringt!

2. Clueso - Gute Musik

Gute Musik steht zwar drauf, aber drinnen wirds besser.

3. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

Bam bam bam!

4. Sigur Ros - Takk

Gefühlvoll, aufbrausend - einfach genial!

5. The Mars Volta - De-loused in the crematorium

Ein Geniestreich!

6. Muse - Absolution

Ein Album, bei dem es möglich ist sich fallen zu lassen aber auch derb zu zappeln.

7. The Album Leaf - In a safe Place

Wird nie langweilig, wunderschöne Sturkturen, die einen in eine andere Welt entführen.

8. Rosie Thomas - Friends of Mine

Aus wenig alles gemacht, Wahnsinn!

9. Sufjan Stevens - Greetings From Michigan: The Great Lakes State

Synfonieartiges Singer-/ Songwriting, wobei dieser Begriff zu wenig ist.

10. Kings of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street

Man liebt es immer ein Stück mehr, nachdem man es gehört hat.

11. FK Allstars - En Directo

Wohl das beste Livealbum, das ich kenne.

12. Creed - Human Clay

Ehrliche, schöne und brilliante Rockmusik!

13. Donavon Frankenreiter - Pass it around

Wer hier nicht tanzt stinkt!

14. Opeth - Damnation

Düster, aber musikalisch das beste Album der letzten 10 Jahre.

15. Matt Costa - Songs we sing

Perfektes Singer-/ Songwriting!

16. Coldplay - Parachutes

Jedes Lied ein Kunstwerk.

17. Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

Knallt, rockt, schiebt!

18. Amos Lee - Amos Lee

Schöne jazzangehauchte Platte, die mein Herz erwärmt.

19. Deftones - Deftones

Das Album, wenn man mit dem Vorschlaghammer eine Wand einreißen will!

20. Beirut- The Flying Club Cup

Ein Album das leicht ist und glücklich macht.

of course it's my opinion, I just don't put that shit in the title of a journal.


I'm Not a Fan But the Kids Like It by Brokencyde

Don't worry, these guys already know they suck. And we're all aware of their obvious gimmick, but these guys give me worst headaches than any Merzbow album ever could.


The Resistance by Muse

Really, these guys have lost the little artistic merit they had with this whiny little wankfest. They're pitted against Dream Theater in an effort to completely bury progressive rock in the ground, except WAIT. THEY AREN'T PROGRESSIVE ROCK. God forbid this band writes pop songs longer than 4 minutes. And they've become 100% dependent on Matt Bellamy's constant strained yodeling, but everyone just calls it an "opera-influence." Give me a fucking break.


Abstract Expression by Dominique Leone

I didn't list these albums in order of least to most hated, but this is slated in 2nd place VERY close to Brokencyde. To think this sack of shit excuse for a man pitchforked Boredoms and gave that website the very small credibility they have. This isn't any deeper than your average "indie pop" with really awful beats, but it feels as though he wants to harmonize every fucking song the wrong way to make it sound like a true "hipster" album. Well, sorry bud, even your own colleagues don't like it. A 6.7 is pretty fucking generous.


Ocean Eyes by Owl City

Teletubbies + The Postal Service = ^


Wilco (The Album) by Wilco

Let's face it, Jeff Tweedy NEEDS Jay Bennett. Too bad he's dead now so a chance of them ever coming to terms with each other is gone. And to think I heard great things about Nels Cline (he hasn't done jack shit to make this band any better.) Now we'll be seeing Jeff at the 2010 Grammies singing an acoustic duet with Taylor Swift.


The Empyrean by John Frusciante

Not only does Frusciante now completely sound like Phil Collins with 80s production values, he butchered one of my favorite songs.


Wavvves by Wavves

We all know really shitty production in the end doesn't hamper good songwriting. But there is no good songwriting here, at all. Plus, he acts like a two year old in front of a paying audience. Double whammy for this fucker.
