    Now here's where things get interesting. Some of my choices for '00 and '01 were kind of weak, I'll admit, but it seems like 2002 things seem to solidify a bit better, even though this was the year that my favorite band from my teenage years (and I'll admit, they still are today in most regards) released the weakest album of their career. Total number of albums here only reached to twelve, but the overall quality increased exponentionally over the previous two years. Even while some of these weren't discovered until later, the ones that would remain are pretty good. I think 2002 was really the year when I started to shake off my old tastes and try something new. 2002 was when I started listening to Queens of the Stone Age, and they were a band I never would've given a chance before. And thanks to Weezer, I was giving poppier acts like Ash (who I discovered in 2002) and Nada Surf (I didn't discover them until 2004 though) and OK Go more of a try, too. Wait, how can anything be poppier than Jimmy Eat World in 2001? I guess Weezer's to thank for that, too.


    1. Silverchair- Diorama


    2. Nada Surf - Let Go


    3. Doves - The Last Broadcast


    4. Beck - Sea Change


    5. Coldplay - A Rush Of Blood To The Head


    6. dredg- El Cielo


    7. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf


    8. OK Go - OK Go


    9. Foo Fighters - One by One


    10. Bright Eyes - Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground

  • Top Albums of 2009

    Nov 24 2009, 0h32 por yobb

    2009 has been a pretty great musical year for me. So many good albums, I think I'll have a hard time trimming it down to 10. Let see:

    10. Dimensional Bleedthrough (Krallice)
    Not quite as solid front to back as their debut, this is still an excellent slab of blackened drone / death metal.

    9. The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion (dredg)
    This one was a grower; Dredg has put some really powerful tracks on here amidst the filler.

    8. The Great Misdirect (Between the Buried and Me)
    This album seems much less disjointed than their previous releases. Also, Obfuscation kicks a ton of ass!

    7. Those Whom the Gods Detest (Nile)
    Not much more of a reason other than it is Nile, and it is almost as good as Annihilation of the Wicked.

    6. Absu (Absu)
    Easily the best mythological-occult metal album you will ever hear.

    5. Nostalgia (Gwynbleidd)
    These guys remind me of Opeth, and that's a huge compliment. I can't wait to hear more from them.

    4. Crack the Skye (Mastodon)
    While I might not enjoy this album more than Blood Mountain, it is easily as enjoyable. Mastodon never disappoint.

    3. Ape Uprising (Slough Feg)
    I consider Hardworlder one of the best albums ever; so I'm not surprised that I didn't enjoy this album on the same level as it. However, Slough Feg can do no wrong; this is a killer record.

    2. Wavering Radiant (Isis)
    Easily Isis' best record, and with the kind of back catalog they have, that is really saying something. This album blew me away the moment I first heard it.

    1. Night is the New Day (Katatonia)
    Katatonia is the best hard rock band around. No one can do what they do nearly as good. This album expanded on their sound in so many ways. Instant classic.

  • Favorite Albums Project (1970-2009) - Part I (2000-2009)

    Nov 23 2009, 12h42 por Funkafonik

    Alright, as we near the end of this first Y2K decade, it's time to take a look back at all the incredible Albums that have been released up to now.

    I'll start off this extensive research with 2000, up until 2009. I'll then go back to 1980, all the way up to 1999, to then wrap things up with the 70s and before.

    Seeing the amount of albums I listen(ed) to, I'll be choosing my Top 25 Albums for each year. An ordered Top 10, and ~15 others worth mentioning. I'm also considering the live albums and EPs (~5), but they have their own section since songs on these have usually already been released before.

    These are general rankings of how I see them today, and based on my Last.FM songs playcounts (2005-now) put through the formula:

    Total Sum of each Album's Song's (running time X playcount)
    DIVIDED BY
    Album's Total Running Time

    Thanks to MediaMonkey and its amazing scripting abilities, that formula gives an Album's REAL playcount, taking into consideration every song's lenght & playcount in relation to the overall album's lenght and # of songs on it.
    You'll see the result (# of times I've really listened to an album since 2005) besides each, along with my 10* Rating. (x/x)
    Besides each Year, you get the Total of all Albums' Playcounts and the average of all Albums' Ratings. (x / %)

    Note that I haven't necessarily discovered and enjoyed all these albums on their released years, some I discovered years later. So these are also based on how important (to me) some of these albums were at the time.

    (**) are the complete albums I was into at that time;
    (*) are albums that contained only a few song(s) I was into or listened to at that time;
    and those without (*) are albums I discovered years later.

    Mo., 16. Nov. – Muse, Biffy Clyro

    Hui, das war ja mal was. Nachdem ich die Tickets bereits im Sommer gekauft hatte und sich plötzlich lauter andere vielversprechende(re) Acts (dredg , Editors ) für Köln im November ankündigten, hatte ich ja leichte Bedenken, ob es die richtige Entscheidung war, eben zu Muse zu gehen, angesichts von relativem Muse-Hype und der Gefahr von vielen kleinen Twilight - Biss zum abwinken-Mädchen. Aber gut, gekauft ist gekauft, das neue Album gefiel mir ja auch, mein liebster Begleiter wollte auch lieber zu Muse, weil er das neue In This Light And On This Evening nach einem Mal halbherzigen Anhörens für öde befunden hatte, also eben Muse.

    Um halb 6 vor der Kölnarena in der Schlange, zwischen "Ersties" vor uns und Schulkindern hinter uns, wuchsen meine Bedenken was das Publikum anging. Bin ich mit noch nicht ganz 25 jetzt schon zu alt für Muse? Aber gut, ich hatte ja auch mit 16 angefangen, damals mit New Born auf Viva2. Okay, ich bin alt.
    In der Halle dann alles prima, Getränke zu perversen Preisen erstanden sowie ein Bandshirt mit dem tollen neuen Resistance-Artwork, dann runter in die Halle. Und siehe da: Die blöden Saalordner kassieren die Tickets ein! Vermutlich, damit die nicht über die Brüstung auf die Ränge gereicht werden und sich Leute unbefugt in den Innenraum schleichen, aber...unfassbar. Weg waren unsere hübschen blauen Hardtickets. Gemütlich einen Platz abseits vom potentiellen Gemoshe aber nah genug zur Bühne belegt, komische Hochhaus-Deko auf der Bühne bewundert und dann: Leute kucken. Altersdurchschnitt maximal 20, gepush von einigen Papas und / oder Mamas, die ihren Nachwuchs begleiteten. Nett. Außerdem ein Mädchen in rosa Karoblusen mit Jeans in Stiefeln. Ein Junge mit rotem Limp Bizkit-Basecap. Hmmm.
    Sehr schön ein Pärchen, das sich darüber unterhielt, dass die alte Kölnarena doch irgendwie größer gewesen sei als die Lanxessarena jetzt....?!?!? Und das aufgedrehte Bierhol-Mädel, das längere Diskussionen um Volumen-Preis- und Schaum-zu-Bier-Verhältnis mit den armen Biermän geführt hat :D

    Nunja, Hallenbeleuchtung aus, Vorband. Biffy Clyro kannte ich zumindest dem Namen nach, waren nicht schlecht, ziemlich energisch, aber sicher besser, wenn man die Songs kennt. So ist bei mir irgendwie nicht viel hängen geblieben außer dem amüsanten zappelphillipigen dürren halbnackten Leadsänger mit unters Kinn geschnallter Gitarre, der dem Publikum stolz seinen tätowierten Rücken präsentiert hat. Jedenfalls ne solide Vorband, die sich brav nach ca. 30 Minuten wieder verabschiedet hat. Zu dem Zeitpunkt war es immernoch ziemlich leer in der Halle.
    Es folgte die längliche Umbaupause mit Roadies auf den Hochhäusern und Leuten, die hoch in die Beleuchtung gezogen wurden und dann den Rest des Abends da hocken mussten, mit Kameras, ich glaube, für die Projektionen.

    Gegen 20 oder viertel vor neun dann erneut: Funzel aus, in den Fenstern der Hochhaus-Deko gingen erst die Lichter an, dann stiegen mechanisch Leuchtemännchen Treppen hinauf, um anschließend wieder runterzupurzeln, das ganze untermalt vom Intro. Im linken Hochhaus blinkte schon hin und wieder Matts glänzige Gitarre durch die Tuch-Fassade, und dann, ZAPP, runter mit den Fassadentüchern, und da standen Muse, auf leuchtenden Quadern und unter leuchtenden Quadern und...was dann passierte, lässt sich nur ganz schlecht in Worte fassen. Lautes Refrain-Mitgegröle und Hände-in-die-Luft-Gestrecke bei den neuen Songs, die alten wurden komplett mitgesungen, als für Feeling Good das Piano aus dem Bühnen-Boden auftauchte, hätte der Herr in der grünen Hose das Singen auch bleiben lassen können, vorne gab es von Matt gewürdigtes Moshen, Hopsen und Springen, außerdem tolle Projektionen, grünen Laser, die obligatorischen Luftballons von der Hallendecke, eine saucoole Drum & Bass-Einlage von Dom und Chris und und und, es war einfach grenzgenial. Exogenesis gegen Ende und zum Abschluss Knights of Cydonia...irre.
    Muse sind jedenfalls definitiv the biggest three-piece in the world, und live immer wieder unfassbar unglaublich wahnsinnig groß.

    Beim Rausgehen gabs dann die Tickets wieder, aber so ein hässliches gelbes Pappdingen von irgendwem wollte ich dann auch nich.
    Und da ja irgendwas den schönen Abend wieder runterziehen musste: Eine unverständliche Durchsage am Deutzer Bahnhof meldet krächz Zugausfall wegen krächz Personenschaden krächz bitte nehmen Sie die S krächz um 23 Uhr krächz nach Ehrenfeld krächz Busersatzverkehr krächz. Ich hoffe, sich vor den Zug schmeißen wird jetzt nicht zur Modeerscheinung. Jedenfalls gabs dann nen Ersatzbus mit einem Busfahrer, der sich null auskannte, ist ja mal...was anderes.

    Muse waren TOLL! Und Chris Wolstenholme bekommt irgendwann nen Dachschaden von seinem Kopf-Gewackel.
