Here’s a list of some stuff that WILL NOT be on my best of 2010 list!
I don’t know why… I just had a big list of stuff to choose from for this year and these are the ones that didn’t make it- but I still thought I should put these extras somewhere….
The Damned Things - Ironiclast ::::: This just squeaked in before the end of the year. Keith Buckley singing with any musicians behind him will be great no matter what.
Red Sparowes - The Fear Is Excruciating But Therin Lies The Answer ::::: Best album title of the year.
Minus The Bear - OMNI ::::: Probably the only reason this didn’t make the list is because I played it out quickly… ran it right into the ground.
Brendan Kelly / Joe McMahon SPLIT - Wasted Potential ::::: Worth getting just for BK’s cover of ‘Kiss the Bottle’ originally by the great Jawbreaker.
Jonsi - Go ::::: Sigur Ros front man gets dancy and epic and chilled out… at the same time!
Bad Religion - The Dissent Of Man ::::: 15 albums deep and this is the one that gets me really into Bad Religion. Better late than never eh?
Alkaline Trio - This Addiction ::::: Surprisingly good! I could do without a few songs on the album though…
Foxy Shazam - S/T ::::: Impossible to listen to this album and not feel happy inside. Try it, I dare you…
Deftones - Diamond Eyes ::::: Deftones devastated me by how awesome their new album is.
Daughters - S/T ::::: Brutal. Strange. I’ll always like and be interested in what Daughters are doing.
Circa Survive - Blue Sky Noise ::::: Seeing Circa Survive live for the first time this year opened my eyes to how great they really are.
Bleeding Through - S/T ::::: Really nice artwork on this album. Good to hear Bleeding through still putting out quality Metal.
Acid Tiger - S/T ::::: Another Converge side project? Yes please and thank you!
Terrible Things - S/T ::::: What? Coheed and Cambria’s ex-drummer (Josh Eppard), Hot Rod Circuit Guitarist/singer (Andy Jackson), and Breaking Pangaea/Taking Back sunday/The Color Fred Guitar/Singer (Fred Mascherino) made a band? Wowwy..
Maps & Atlases - Perch Patchwork ::::: I was kinda let down by this. It’s good… but I expected something different.
She & Him - Volume 2 ::::: Zooey Deschanel can sing to me everynight and that’d be just fine.
Coheed & Cambria - The Year Of The Black Rainbow ::::: I still haven’t given this album much of a chance… I might come around to it in the future… time will tell.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - Soundtrack ::::: As far as soundtracks go, this is one of the best I’ve ever heard. The movie didn’t disappoint me either!
Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns ::::: Linkin Park made a new album…. it sounds like Linkin Park.
