so, we're a fat six months into the year and have had our
fair share of new releases to sift through. and although
you might have a few favs at this point, I'm interested to
know what the ONE album is that sticks out above the rest
for you personally. so just 1 titel (well, try to anyway)

my choice is:

I'm still stuck on Out Hud's album, though I'm really really warming up to The Decemberists' "Picaresque" more and more lately.

easy peasy lemon squeezy ,.....

james blunt - back to bedlam !!!!




i also like , maximo park - a certain trigger , kaiser chiefs - employment .

interesting choices there guys! I love these kind
of threads. Gives me all kind of new names to get
the dirt on

I can't decide between that and NIN - With Teeth.

AsylumUtopia said:

well as a self-proclaimed Trent drooler, I have to confess
that I still haven't heard the (entire) album yet. So I had
a less hard choice in simply going for Guero

altho what I've heard from "With Teeth" is fantastic as well

IstenSzek said:

Well, when you do get into it, you'll get into it, and into it, and into it....

Apparently he's feeling quite inspired and creative at the moment and is itching to get back to the studio, so there may well be another NIN album out sooner than expected.

So far I'm juggling between Dance of the Infidel by Meshell & Marry Me by Tori Fixx.

No one has heard of them...but...


Shpongle... Nothing Lasts...But Nothing Is Lost

emancipation of mimi

Based on the ones I've heard, I'm with IstenSzek. Guero is it for me. It smells like an instant classic.

I can't believe it but Mimi's album is my favorite so far as well as M.I.A

Hmmm

The Dissociatives

or

Coldplay X&Y


or

Ben Folds Songs for Silverman


dissociatives are winnin in my books right now.. that album is damn near perfect.

I've had the advance since last fall and the actual album and advance are superb

Nikka Costa's new one, but i haven't heard it yet and I don''t own it yet, but I'm still going with that one, i have a feeling about it

Either somebody's greatest hits collection or an old album that was remastered this year.

if i could include anthologies or reissues, i'd say sinead o'connor's "collaborations" CD - i listen to it constantly.

Shakira - Fijación Oral Vol.1

LCD Soundsystem is a close second.

What is the newest studio album that you have? (non-Prince)

Teena Marie's "La Dona" from 2004 and Jamiroquai's "A Funk Odyssey" from 2001. Before that, it would probably be the Quad City DJs' single "Come On Ride The Train" from 1996.

Sadly, I may have to agree with you b/c most of the albums from this year were a piece of shit.

Tell me: what does he do that NWA, Ice-T, Tupac, Ice Cube, Mobb Deep, Jay-Z, and dozens of others haven't done?

I'm really asking, because I suspect next month it will be some other "gangsta" cat on the come-up.

I'm not really a rap fanatic and I'm just supporting local talent making it big.I was curious about buying ti last week but I like it...

ABeautifulOne said:

Fair enough!

Gorillaz - Demon Days is my most often played album yet this year, so I'll go with that...

White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
