39 | | Parquet Courts American Specialties
[Rock off the odd variety. Technically a 2011 release but technically this rules hard
so f u] No preview found, but if you listen to one song make it 'Other Desert Cities' |
38 | | Kendrick Lamar good kid, m.a.a.d city
[Hip-hop. Justification: it's telling that the multitude of reviews that refer to this as
'lyrical' very quote lyrics from it. That's because it's not lyrical in a poetic sense,
exactly. The lyrics function to provide an accumulative, whole-is-more-than-the-
sum-of-its-parts effect. And while this contributes to the story-telling quality of
the album, it also renders it more John Grisham than John Steinbeck. I still like both
but come on] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gbpa0ELtYk |
