10.28.11 | How does someone not like TOTBL? It's such an easy listening, nothing too special, nothing too bad. Just a good album to casualy listen to. :/ |
omnipanzer
10.28.11 | That is kind of my point, how in the world does "It's such an easy listening, nothing too special, nothing too bad." get a 4.2? I will probably never listen to it again tbh. |

10.28.11 | I was pleasantly surprised by 1, it isn't really my thing but I found it quite enjoyable. |
ZilbelPing
10.28.11 | I REALLY need to get 2 and 3. Every time I try downloading an Arctic Monkey album, the download stops around 50%.
It's cursed. |
JamieTwort
10.28.11 | Omni, I suggest listeneing to Joe Bonamassa - You & Me, excellent modern blues rock album. I also recommend checking out Bonamassa's collabaration with Beth Hart, thier album Don't Explain came out earlier this year. |
Aids
10.28.11 | agree so hard with the rant on Interpol, that band is retardedly overrated |
JamieTwort
10.28.11 | Also props for 8, great stuff. |
omnipanzer
10.28.11 | Thanks for the recs AT and JT, and for the support Aids. ;^) |
StrangerofSorts
10.28.11 | Guess you missed Snow Patrol too if the Arctic Monkeys scooted past you. Snow Patrol - Eyes Open. Plods along a bit in places but overall it's still great. |

10.28.11 | StrangerofSorts, you are correct. I know who they are but not sure what they have put out... I think "Chasing Cars" was their big one right?

I think people rate based on how many things the album gets wrong - instead of what it is missing. TOTBL doesn't get much wrong at all, so people agree that it's near perfect, but then again it really isn't doing too much to get wrong in the first place. More ambitious albums tend to receive lower ratings, even if some people will end up enjoying them for longer.

StrangerofSorts
10.28.11 | and yeh, Chasing Cars was the big single. If you want a snapshot of them at their best (in my opinion), listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=084l5-SA_nU |

10.28.11 | AHHHHH, you listened to the albums I Rec'd you. That's so sweet. (Yeah that's right... I'm his brother and law TWATS)

Porcupine Tree - Deadwing, In Absentia

YetAnotherBrick
10.28.11 | And TOTBL was a big grower for me. It is a little dull and unambitious at first, but with repeated listens you hear that the songs are actually extremely well-written, and actually pretty affecting. I do agree that what's wrong with it is what it's missing, though. But that doesn't mean I enjoy it any less. I hope that paragraph wasn't a complete clusterfuck lol |
elusive
10.28.11 | Try Poison the Well - The Opposite of December. Much better than the one you have listed IMO.
EDIT: Dammit, we're talking about the 00's. My opinion still stands. |
omnipanzer
10.28.11 | Thanks YetAnotherBrick I've heard most of those but There are a couple I haven't yet heard. Unfortunately what I didn't include in my list description is that in the year + that I've been here I've caught up on some of this stuff but it is obviously the more popular stuff like The National and Arcade Fire.
Elusive... I may |
EonblueApocalypse84
10.28.11 | The opposite is not a better album... good, but not better. Tear from the red may be better... |
omnipanzer
10.28.11 | You just can't even help yourself can you? Got to get into it with every Tom, Dick and Harry huh? |
Trebor.
10.28.11 | Tegan And Sara - The Con |
omnipanzer
10.28.11 | Great album sir. |
elusive
10.28.11 | @Eon... Nah. There is a reason TFTR is tied for the lowest PTW album on sputnik. Opposite is much more raw and the emotion shows through. Besides being just plain awesome. |
omnipanzer
10.28.11 | Skrapasor, somehow I doubt your problem with my list is too much gayness. |
elusive
10.28.11 | Not saying its bad, just not up to par in my eyes. |
omnipanzer
10.28.11 | Thank you HST I will keep it in mind. Think I'm going to listen to the new Tom Waits again right this second. |
EonblueApocalypse84
10.28.11 | I just like playing horns and tails on my acoustic. Maybe I'm a softie... um... I think it's called nerdy? that song is really good |
EonblueApocalypse84
10.28.11 | upon inspection it is nerdy that I like alot. |
elusive
10.28.11 | Agreed. The positive/upbeat vibe it gives off is a definite standout. |
CrownOfMagnets
10.28.11 | I hate the Interpol guy's voice |
