The only album I've gotten from this year is Gorillaz's Plastic Beach. Which I like quite a bit, though it's very different from Demon Days.

yo just throwing this out, but LCD Soundsystem is overrated garbage. I have not listened to one of his songs all the way through without thinking "people choose to listen to this? people VALUE this?" it's stuff that I wouldn't think about if it were on the radio, except everyone is drooling over it. it's Eternal Sunshine all over again. someone show me something of his that is likable or interesting.

anyway.

2010 albums.

I've barely listened to anything new actually. here's the two real EPs from 2010 that I even have on iTunes-

American Ghetto- Portugal. The Man: Disappointing. Starts off strong then tapers off like their last album. Nothing since Censored Colors has sounded like they have any ambition or good ideas anymore.
Oh!- SNSD/Girl's Generation: Korean pop. It's terrible saccharine bullshit, but the following is... one of my favorite songs ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mPqycQ0tQ (I hate myself for liking this song, but I don't like the album or the band so I guess it works out???)

The rest of what I've heard offhand is... ugh. Telephone*. Ke$ha. I don't want to go on.

But it looks like there's been some promising stuff recently? Ted Leo had an album that is supposed to be okay? Magnetic Fields? VH1 Storytellers: Kanye West? (Apparently so butchered that the 3-hour event is condensed to just 1?) Barry Manilow's The Greatest Love Songs of all Time?

*All things considered though: amazing video, better parodies.

Ethan, listen to "Give It Up", that was one of the first songs by LCD Soundsystem that got me hooked. I would suggest "Tribulations", but my guess is you've already heard it. If not, definitely listen to that one too.

Despite my high anticipation for the new Crystal Castles album, it wasn't as nearly as good as their first.

It was just okay D:

I don't think I've listened to anything released this year. I mean I just listened to Unwanted Thoughts Syndrome a couple weeks ago. (...You didn't specify music! Wink

)
