who is this by? and what kinda music is it? hmmm


It's Arcade Fire, band from Montreal. To me, it sounds like the lovechild of Springsteen and Dead Can Dance, but I imagine someone else would think that's way off. Political lyrics, impassioned vocals, guitars plus orchestral arrangements.


Okay, I gotcha! sounds pretty good. I'll check em out
If you will, so will I

and when did Amerie's album come out??? she's getting NO promotion lol

it's not out yet
she's releasing it in the UK first
and then over here in July I believe (don't quote me)

but to answer the question
I wouldn't give anything I've heard
thus far the title for "album of the year"
not just yet

but ones that I enjoy are:
Back To Black
Introducing... Joss Stone
Life In Cartoon Motion
Return Of The Mac
For Lovers, Dreamers And Me

I know I'm leaving some out
this is off the top of my head

also, still hadn't heard Redman's
project yet... which I know I'll love it


I love Alice Smith too, but she came out in 2006 no no no!

and thanks for clearing upp my Amerie confusion
If you will, so will I

So far...

NIN - Year Zero
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
LCD Sound System - Sound of Silver

I want to like Arcade Fire's Neon Bible more, but it hasn't grown on me yet. I should give it a few more spins.

I definitely agree
she's sticking to this gogo shit
and it's gonna make her predictable

and the whole sticky loop shit
is getting old already

Awww man! I really was hoping she'd spice things up this time around! That has seriously become her and Rich Harrison's signature sound.
That song he did for Toni Braxton's last album had the same rhythem too, and sounded like a Touch reject. I'm still anxious to hear the album though, when it comes out over here

yeah... you'd think he's all over this one
when in actuality I think he only had
a hand in one of the tracks...

I like this one better than Touch
I don't think I've ever heard Touch in entirety
that's how disappointed I was
(with the exception of "Rolling Down My Face"...
see THAT type of shit was what
I was looking for on this new project...
but she's on her pop shit)

nevertheless, be sure & tell me what you think

it's a mixed bag...when they're good, they're really good...when they're not, they're really bad. it has some highs, has some lows. It sounds in no way like anything they've done before. They're signature sound is gone. I have no idea what 'emo' is, but it's a slow/acouticy thing. I had to listen to it several times before it grew on me. I still put it as my 'album ot year' so far because the inspired moments are really good...and because of a lack of competition.

I'll give it a listen to decide if I want it. I really liked they're previous albums boxed , but since you say this is nothing like those, I'm a little hesitant. I know rap/metal is kinda dated, but I really dig Mike Shinoda's style

Thanks for the mini review! biggrin

Amerie - Because I Love It.

The most fun I've had listening to a record is Hilary Duff - Dignity.

Chromeo's Fancy Footwork is making a strong case, too! This year is definitely shaping up to be the best of the decade. nod

Now that I've had a chance to listen to a leak of the new Crowded House record, Time on Earth has eclipsed Amy Winehouse's Back to Black as album of the year IMO.
