Traversing.nets Top 50 Albums of the Decade Voting Thread

[And we'll just put a happy little bush over here.]

Re: Traversing.nets Top 50 Albums of the Decade Voting Thread

And then the next 3 are hard because I don't like any of them.

10. Mew - Frengers
11. The Dear Hunter - Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading
12. The Arcade Fire - Funeral

agreed.

And then I can't stand Sigur Ros. Probably one of the most PRETENTIOUS things I've ever listened to. I would rather listen to Chinese Democracy than sit through () again.

13. Sigur Ros - ()

bitter enemies (in this thread).

Re: Traversing.nets Top 50 Albums of the Decade Voting Thread

How can one not like The Dear Hunter? Especially Act II.

It was pretty easy. I listened to it and then I said "I don't like this."

Re: Traversing.nets Top 50 Albums of the Decade Voting Thread

And that means we bid farewell to Pure Reason Revolution's "The Dark Third" and The Arcade Fire's "Funeral". Still, that's 51 and 52, so obviously still very important albums on this board.

These albums got 5 votes each and range from 29 to 39. Each album must be numbered from 1 - 11.

Bon Iver's "For Emma, Forever Ago"
Circa Survive's "Juturna"
Circa Survive's "On Letting Go "
Coheed and Cambria's "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 "
Day One Symphony's "A Vicious Circle"
Fair to Midland's "Fables from a Mayfly: What I Tell You Three Times is True"
Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!"
Incubus's "Morning View "
Mew's "And the Glass Handed Kites"
Oceansize's "Frames"
Opeth's "Ghost Reveries"

Have at it, guys. Again, if you can, try and listen to each album. I'll give this one the same amount of time this previous round got. So March 12th is the deadline. This time, I will not be giving extra time, so like before, no enforcement of any rules, just do your best to be honest.

Oh, and if you need a copy of the Day One Symphony album, let me know.

To be honest, the next few of these should be REALLY interesting. This one is already pretty hard for me, I'm dreading the next couple.

Ranking albums I love is next to impossible. And I love half of the albums in this group. Gonna suck.

Letting you know!

Haven't listened to that or Bon Iver, but I found that one on spotify.

You're missing out. A Vicious Circle is a beautiful album. I'd go ahead and send it to you if I had it on this computer, but alas.

On that note, has anyone else been keeping up with David Knight? He's been making some more acoustic music, playing in southeast Asia and whatnot.

The funny thing is I REALLY like that Coheed album, and it falls that far down on the list because I like those other albums that much.

First three are all top 10 albums for me. Hadn't heard the bottom four until today, but I'm pretty firm on the bottom two after quick listens.

Re: Traversing.nets Top 50 Albums of the Decade Voting Thread

I really hope that the singer in Fair to Midland doesn't ruin every song on this album. Cause that first track on Fables had real potential for me and then he started taking a shit in the middle of the song for no reason.

That bridge sounds painfully forced on Fables. The version on inter.funda.stifle. is a lot better. He doesn't do much more of that through Fables, fortunately, and overall he's up there near MJK as rock vocalists go in my book.
