Depending on the mood, place and longing…

As all of you lovely freaks out there know; it’s not easy making a list and checking it twice. Cause it all depends on your mood and the places shift at the very moment you think you’re done. When you take a look the next day you replace five albums with different ones and this goes on and on… In the end though, the list below is the one I sent to The Obelisk this year… And I sent a list of 85 or something to Lucas for his Paranoid Hitsophrenic end year extravaganza… Which will be published soon! So make sure you keep checking his site regularly…

3 Doublestone – Wingmakers
4 Komatsu – Manu Armata
5 Monomyth – Monomyth
6 Queens of The Stone Age – Like Clockwork
7 Toner Low – III

10 Carousel – Jeweler’s Daughter

An eclectic list indeed, however, each and everyone of you should be ashamed of yourselves, Earthless released an album this year - good enough to be album of the year in most years, with you lot? Not even in the top 20, for shame :D
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHaha, indeed. To be honest; it (Earthless) is not even among the 85 I sent to Lucas. For some reason the album could not grab me as other ones did.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBut I always keep revisiting stuff and who knows; next time around the quarter might drop. (Like it did with Graveyard's' Hissingen Blues; which sort of washed over me the first time around as well. And then became one of my favorite albums...)
As for the Countdown top 20; it received six points less than American Sharks. So it was all damn close this year. Lots of great albums, high diverse and fragmentary... Something good came along for everyones august taste...
Keep listening, the album is amazing. I recommend a large doobie of your favourite sativa dominant and put it on loud :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm used to like Earthless as well but this one dissapointed a bit (maybe due to high expectations). sound more like a collection of former outtakes.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenstill good songs but not the usual quality
