My Top 25 Song's of 2008
Sorry I never announced that I would be doing this list. But I think we all need a little surprise in our life. So it took me 2 weeks to come up with this list. I wanted to do a longer commentary section on this then my favorite albums. So it may take a bit longer to read. Go all the way down to go to number 50. Here it goes:
It never really dawned on my how much I really loved this song. Until I revisited it this past month. It had everything that I loved. Antony, a great disco rhythm and some mind-blowing production. I think that this song is so hard to listen to the lyrics because of Antony's attention seeking voice. But the lyrics are wonderful to get yourself lost into. Hopefully they will release another album sometime soon. But this cut is a dance-floor killer.
2. Jay-Z featuring Santogold - Brooklyn We Go Hard
This song is so good because it had an amazing sample. Most of all a rapper that doesn't give a f*ck what you think of him. Jay-Z has always had good flow but this cut really shows off everything that Jay-Z could be. I also have to give props to the producers. They did a great job. Yes Brooklyn, you do go hard.
3. Erykah Badu - Amerykahn Promise
This track has been overlooked by too many critics. It reminds me of Diana Ross and the Supremes with more of a political side. I love the saxophones used in the track. It just had everything I wanted from a track this year. It was political and was sung beautifully.
4. Portishead - Hunter
The first time I heard this song I thought it was really off the wall. It had a heavy hip-hop influence and a (sort of) female falsetto. The pauses in the beats are genius. It showed that Portishead not only had great beats. But an awesome singer. To tell you the truth, I'm still scarred of the song.
5. Raphael Saadiq - Sure Hope You Mean It
It proved that the Motown R&B direction that Raphael Saadiq took was a great choice. Especially this track. It had funk, soul and Raphael seemed to really be digging it. I sure did to. It took much thought whether to have him at number 5. But it was a track that I couldn't get out of my head.
6. N.E.R.D. - Everyone Nose (All The Girls Standing In The Line For The Bathroom)
This will probably be unexpected from me. But the hook was so addictive. It didn't make much sense but the whole track was chaos. In a good way. If you had seen them live you would know that the performance was also chaos. It was good to get away from all the down-tempo stuff this year.
7. Adele - Melt My Heart to Stone
This was one of the track's on 19 that had no high production, no Mark Ronson just Adele and her voice. She had said in an interview that it had been hard to sing this song because of a breakup. You can hear that. Her voice trembles at points but it was so passionate.
8. Beyonce - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
"I could care less what you think" Beyonce says in her hit track. But no one had ever seen this side of her. But it refreshing from her slow tracks like "If I Were a Boy". Which let's face it, was whiny. But on this track she's confident and more of a woman's anthem then the trying-to-hard-to-be-a-woman's-anthem lyrics of "If I Were A Boy".
9. Sigur Ros - Gobbledigook
This was the first track off the album. It showed their new direction of the album. It was upbeat, beautiful and uplifting. As was most of the album. As much as I loved their older slow-burning stuff. I had a soft spot for their new direction. Especially this track.
10. Robyn - Handle Me
Her self titled album was the pop comeback of 2008. It was a departure from her Spice Girl singing in her debut. This track showed that she was all grown up, and not some record label push-over. It had a sexy side, confident side and so much more I can't put into words.
11. Dizzee Rascal featuring Calvin Harris & Chrome
No I'm not British. I just listen to a lot of BBC Radio 1 is all. They played this track tons of times. I loved it everytime I heard it. It hasn't made a ripple in North America. But it should. It has an amazing rapper (I love the accent) and a great hook.
12. Kanye West - Heartless
Although the album was a disappointment this track wasn't. It had a great hook and some great production. Although Kanye West's new direction wasn't welcomed with open arms. It works pretty well here. But please Kanye, go back to rapping.
13. Bon Iver - Skinny Love
I was going to put this track at number 1. But I just had so many other favorites. This track immediately struck a chord with me. The lyrics were beautiful and his falsetto vocals were a highlight for me. Who doesn't like this track.
14. Moby - Disco Lies
I was never really a fan of Moby (other than "We Are All Made of Stars"). But this track was a highlight from his album. By far. It had powerful vocals and killer production. Who hasn't heard this song in a club? I think this is Moby's best track ever.
15. Nas - Queens Get the Money
This cut has such a simple piano background. But it is the most effective track on the whole album. It brought me back to those "Illmatic" days. One of the best lines of the year:
1. Hercules and Love Affair - Blind
It never really dawned on my how much I really loved this song. Until I revisited it this past month. It had everything that I loved. Antony, a great disco rhythm and some mind-blowing production. I think that this song is so hard to listen to the lyrics because of Antony's attention seeking voice. But the lyrics are wonderful to get yourself lost into.

15. Nas - Queens Get the Money
This cut has such a simple piano background. But it is the most effective track on the whole album. It brought me back to those "Illmatic" days. One of the best lines of the year:
"I'm over their heads like a bulimic on a sea-saw"
I don't even know what the hell that means. But it's pretty f*cking cool.
16. Santogold - Starstruck
The whole Santogold album was one of the most consistently great albums of the year. But this track which most don't acknowledge is one of the sickest tracks I've ever heard. The production is out of this world and c'mon it's Santogold. How could you not love it?
17. The Stills - Being Here
This is a great Canadian band that I heard of a few months ago. This song sounds like it belongs on MTV's The Hills or something. It's totally uplifting and I dig it. This band has a certain amount of coolness that is untouchable. (P.S.: I know I didn't include them on my best albums of 2008, but the album is so good.)
18. Solange - Sandcastle Disco
Who says Beyonce is the only talented one in the family is a liar. Beyonce's sister Solange is (maybe) is even better than her big sister. They sound very similar but Solange has a little more of a sense of what she's doing in the studio. Plus, the track is so catchy.
19. Sia - Day Too Soon
Although half the time you can't understand what this Australian singer is saying. It still sounds so beautiful. This track is kind of depressing (I feel like cutting myself depressing). But I think that it is at the same time such a beautiful track. (Check out the video!)
20. She & Him - Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?
How could you not like this cut? It's so darn cute and kind of rocky at the same time. Not a small achievement from their debut album. It sounds like it belongs on an Apple commercial or something. The one thing that I know about this track is it is so catchy.
21. T.I. - No Matter What
If their was an inspirational song this year. Nothing came close to T.I.'s talking about his shortcomings and his jail time. It was a surprise to me because whenever I think of T.I. I think of a hard gangsta. But apparently he has a soft spot in him. Awww!
22. The Ting Ting's - Shut Up and Let Me Go
I know it was featured on an Apple commercial. I don't care! This track is catchy and it has a killer British female lead singer. What else could you ask for? Maybe a donkey. But that's beside the point. The point is catchy is not always a bad thing.
23. Lights - Drive My Soul
Has anyone heard such a cute voice? Not me. But that is just what you could expect from the Canadian singer. This cut was the best from her EP released this year. I know it's kind of girly but the production is pretty good and for those who want an experience, see the video. Literally out of this world.
24. Lykke Li - Little Bit
If your in the indie scene and haven't heard this song, where have you been. Their is even a remix with Lil' Wayne. If Lil' Wayne is in the remix you know the song is crazy good. Not joking, that's how I find good music. Type in Lil' Wayne and see what you get. But seriously, this track is good.
25. The Kills - U.R.A. Fever
This track is crazy. The first time I heard it I thought I was going to have a bowel movement in my pants. The distortion is a great asset to the song. But to tell you the truth, this was the only good song from their album Midnight Boom.
16. Santogold - Starstruck
The whole Santogold album was one of the most consistently great albums of the year. But this track which most don't acknowledge is one of the sickest tracks I've ever heard. The production is out of this world and c'mon it's Santogold. How could you not love it?

So their is my list. Comment if you have anything to say about it. You could even include you list. See you in 2009!
New Look
I hope you enjoy the new look. I wanted to try something different to ring in the new year. I was getting tired of the burgundy to. So comment and tell me how you like it. I will probably change it once every 3 months or something. I get bored quickly.
My Expectations for 2009
I though that 2008 was mediocre in terms of music. Yes, their were some exceptional albums. But overall it was nothing like 2007. I think 2008 will be better. Looking at the schedule of upcoming albums I think it will be a better year. This year it seemed their were a lot of secluded and small sounding albums. Which is pretty interesting. But 2009 I believe will have a lot of bigger sounding albums (U2 etc.). I also think they will be albums of Hope because of Barack Obama.
Some albums I am looking forward to are:
Lily Allen
Antony and the Johnsons
Missy Elliot
Depeche Mode
U2
Black Eyed Peas
Dr. Dre
Eminem
Metric
Amy Winehouse
and some others which were not mentioned...
So 2009 is starting to look up in my eyes. It is going to be interesting to see where the world of music is going to be. I am looking forward to spend it with you.

My Most Anticipated Release for January...
My most anticipated release for January is Antony and The Johnsons record "The Crying Light". His EP "Another World" was beautiful. Now I am so excited to see what come next from one of my favorite artists. If the EP is any indication how the album is gonna be. It will be one of my favorites in the decade.
(P.S.: How creepy is that album artwork. But I think it is so beautiful at the same time)
Britney Spears Bonus Tracks - Review
Most of you have already heard Britney Spears new album "Circus". But have you heard the bonus tracks? Some are even better than songs on the album. Here is a short review of the ones I found:
1. Quicksand: A beautiful song. The writers did a really good job with it. You can tell it was written by Lady GaGa. It should have replaced maybe "My Baby". 8.5/10
2. Trouble: It reminded me of the Madonna song "Get Together" immediately. I love how it has the trance thing. This is one of my favorites. Should have maybe replaced, it should have been added on. Not replacing anything. 9/10
3. Amnesia: I used to like it a lot. But now it's a little bit annoying. They made the right call by not putting it on. But it is pretty enjoyable though. 7.87/10
4. Phonography: This song is mediocre. The chorus is pretty good. But the rest is garbage. It should be replaced by another bonus track. 4/10
5. Rock Me In: I like this song. The chorus is pretty good. The production is futuristic. It was added on the deluxe edition. 8/10
6. Rock Boy: This track sounds like a bonus track. That's not a good thing. Thank god it was not included on anything. 3/10
7. Radar: It was on her previous album. But apparently it was revised. I can't hear the difference. But I still love it. 9/10
8. Candy From Strangers: It is disputed whether this is actually Britney Spears. I don't know, the voice sounds like her from "Blackout". But I can't see her even doing this song. But I do love the song. A lot. 9.5/10
So that's all I could find. If their are any more. Just comment. Thanks for reading.
Update: After I read up I found out that the song is by Myah Marie. But I still think the song is top notch.

This Week
This week in music is very lackluster. So I am not going to review any music. I think I will just add some special features. Like my favorite Christmas Music, My Expectations for Next Year in Music and so on. Really, this week sucks. What am I going to review? "Jizz in My Pants", thanks but no thanks. I may find something interesting but for now. I am not reviewing any album this week.
20.12.08
My Current Guilty Pleasures...
I did the exact same post a while back. But I liked how that post turned out so I'm doing it again. But revised... (no particular order)
1. Jonas Brother - Tonight
I went back to their album this past week. I loved this cut. I also started to grow a liking for the album. But shh... don't tell anyone.
2. Britney Spears - If U Seek Amy
Can you retrieve the secret in this song. Listen to the chorus carefully and tell me. Or I will tell you. I'll have the response at the bottom of this post. But getting back to the song, I thought her album was one of her best and I am especially fond of this track. So much so everyone around me tells me to stop playing it. But I can't stop.
3. Beyonce - Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)
It's been done to death on Youtube. By everyone from babies to dogs. But for a good reason. It's catchy and one of Beyonce's best tracks ever. Let's face it, we've all done this dance in the mirror. Right?
4. Katy Perry - Waking Up In Vegas
I know I said her album was one of the worst of the year. But that doesn't mean I can't like one track. I started to like this song from her live performance on "Later...With Jools Holland". So if you guys were wondering what track I liked from this album. This is it. (The performance is above)
5. Taylor Swift - Fifteen
I know it's not horrible to like Taylor Swift but it is embarrassing. But this song is especially embarrassing. It's directed at 15 year old girls! If that's not embarrissing I don't know what is. (I will be reviewing her album tomorrow)
(Britney Spears - If You Seek Amy meaning.... "All of the boys are begging to if you seek amy (F-U-C-K Amy)

Best Albums of 2008
Well it's finally here. It's been an average year in music. But their were a few gems. So this is what this list is for. You will disagree with most of my picks. But I would probably be the same to you. So enjoy the list. Don't take it as seriously if you I missed one of your favorites. (SCROLL DOWN TO GO TO 50)
#1 BON IVER - EMMA FOREVER AGO
This is such a beautiful album. This was the brightest spot this year. It was heartfelt, emotional and most of all lyrically breathtaking. It came from an unknown artist who I had never heard of. This album changed my perspective on music this year. If you do not have this album. Go buy it. Don't even think about it. Just do it. Trust me if it was not for this album. This year would be dim.
#2 HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR - HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR
This classic dance/disco record was the best in years. It was so abstractly put together that it could have easily failed. Yet it succeeded like I've ever seen a dance record. I think this will be the best dance record of the next decade.
#3 RA RA RIOT - THE RHUMB LINE
This record was the best debut of the year. It was like Vampire Weekend but better. It had a story and it was everything a debut should be. This was an album of maturity from such a young band.
#4 DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - NARROW STAIRS
I did not immediately enjoy this album. It was a grower that's for sure. But once you listen to the lyrics you will find that this album has some of the best lyrics of the year. Each song was heart breaking to listen to. But it exuded hope.
#5 SANTOGOLD - SANTOGOLD
This was my most anticipated release of the year. It defiantly lived up to it. This album crossed genres in a matter of seconds. Which is not a easy thing to do. But she did it with ease. Like a veteran.
#6 B.B. KING - ONE KIND FAVOR
This was a return to his roots for B.B. King. It had heavy piano and most of all great guitar work from one of the best on the planet. Even his voice is still pretty top notch. I want to be B.B. King when I'm in my 80's.
#7 FLEET FOXES - FLEET FOXES
Talk about putting your influences on your sleeve. This is the closest you will get to The Beach Boys you will get. But this album did that without sounding old. It was something of epic proportions. Rather than another Beach Boys record.
#8 SIGUR ROS - Mð suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
Even though I don't know what the hell their saying, I know it's something amazing. That's how you know this band is good. That's also why I love this album to pieces.
#9 ADELE - 19
This album was slow to catch on to America. But if you hadn't heard the song chasing pavements before it came out. What kind of indie hipster are you? The album was a mix of Jazz/R&B and it payed off.
#10 PORTISHEAD - THIRD
This was a comeback that no one had seen coming. This album was everything that Portishead should have been. It's a comeback that I want to stay back.
#11 BECK - MODERN GUILT
Who knew Beck had a taste for Psychodelic 70's music. Not me. But with master producer Danger Mouse, it came to be. The title track was one I couldn't stop listening to.
#12 LIL' WAYNE - THA CARTER III
This was the most anitcipated rap album for a reason. It's the best. Lil' Wayne spits like no other on this record. But does it (sorta) tastfully.
#13 ERYKAH BADU - NEW AMERYKAH: PART ONE (NEW WORLD)
This album gave me chills the first time I heard it. It was a commentary on everything that was happening this year. Erykah you've done it again.
#14 ROBYN - ROBYN
It seems Sweeden is the new Indie hotspot of the world. Especially for pop. This record had been celebrated in the gay community. But then was put to critical acclaim. It deserves all of it to.
#15 TV ON THE RADIO - DEAR SCIENCE
This album was actually a step down from their previous record. But it still came on top as a pretty good record. Although I was dissaponted it grew on me.
#16 SHEARWATER - ROOK
Besides Bon Iver, this album was one of the best crafted. It was so simple yet so complex in meaning. It really struck a cord with me.
#17 RAPHAEL SAADIQ - THE WAY I SEE IT
Classic R&B never gets old. "The Way I See It" was the best male R&B record of the year. It had touches of Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross. But he made it his own.
#18 CAT POWER - JUKEBOX
Cat Power came put with another covers album this year. But no one can do a cover album like Cat Power. She makes it her own. While still paying respect to the greats.
#19 MADONNA - HARD CANDY
I know I am going to get heck for this. But this was my guilty pleasure. It had top notch producers and Madonna has never been hotter. Who hasn't listened to "4 Minutes" under their blankets.
#20 VAMPIRE WEEKEND - VAMPIRE WEEKEND
This was the most anticipated debut for the music community. This band is what they call a blog 'sensation'. This record reminded me alot of Paul Simon's "Graceland". That's a big compliment.
#21 MGMT - ORACULAR SPECTACTULAR
MGMT was the hippest band this year. But the differnce between them and other 'hip' bands is they can actually play. This album had so many catchy songs that sometimes they just take control of my mind.
#22 SHE & HIM - VOLUME ONE
This was the cutest album of the year. By a mile. Mainly because the lead singer had little girl vocals. Yet the lyrics weren't as happy. But I still love it.
#23 HOT CHIP - MADE IN THE DARK
Hot Chip is ever growng in their quest to become the best electronic band. Their just about their with this record.
#24 THE COOL KIDS - THE BAKE SALE
I had said that this was going to be the rap album of the year. But it's still pretty good once I look back. It had great production, originalty and amazing rhymes.
#25 GNARLS BAKLEY - THE ODD COUPLE
I had to put this on my list because it had my favorite duo of all-time. So what if this wasn't their best album. I still enjoyed more than most albums.
#26 ESTELLE - SHINE
This record for most broguht back memories of Lauryn Hill. It wasn't as good as Lauryn Hill but it was represting all the female rapper this year.
#27 RANDY NEWMAN - HARPS AND ANGELS
He's become the butt of all jokes. But it doesn't mean he can't make a great album. He proves it with this album. His best in decades.
#28 BEAST - BEAST
I know many of you have never heard of this Canadian band. But give it a try. It's angry and sweet all at the same time.
#29 LYKKE LI - YOUTH NOVELS
She has a baby voice and I love that. Plus she made some of the catchiest albums of the year. By the way, she's sweedish.
#30 MY MORNING JACKET - EVIL URGES
I was dissapointed by this release. "Z" was a classic. Yet I still can't stop raving about it. Weird.
#31 JENNY LEWIS - ACID TOUNGUE
It was nice to see Jenny Lewis get away from Rilo Kiley and pursue her dream. Some country trang.
#32 OF MONTREAL - SKELETAL LAMPING
Kevin Barnes never seeses to amaze me. Hell, I couldn't go on stage in a dress. But with album he encourages it. I have no problem as long as he makes good music. Like this record.
#33 BE YOUR OWN PET - GET AKWARD
This is the type of punk record I like. A hot screaming woman and a great band. Sounds like my thing.
#34 BLITZEN TRAPPER - FURR
I first heard about this band on NPR. Ever since then I have been addicted. Just another reason to listen to NPR.
#35 NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS - DIG!!!LAZARUS!!!DIG!!!
As if you weren't depressed enough this year. Bad ecomonmic times and anther Nick Cave album. End my misery now. Misery never felt so good though.
#36 Q-TIP - THE RENANSCENCE
It's been awhile since Q-Tip released an album and it was worth the wait.
#37 GIRL TALK - GIRL TALK
It never felt so fresh to rehash music from my childhood. Oh! How I miss those days.
#38 NAS - UNTITLED
Controversy aside, Nas has been Hip-Hop's shining spot. He doesn't let up here.
#39 THE ROOTS - RISING DOWN
I've never been a huge fan of The Roots. But this album changed my mind. Especially the political stuff.
#40 THE TING TINGS - WE STARTED NOTHING
See what an iPod commerical can do for you. One minute your in England and the next your on MTV. See kids miracles do come true.
#41 THE RAVEONETTES - LUST, LUST, LUST
I had never been interested in The Raveonettes before they were on some skeezy late night talk show. But I'm glad I did watch that late night talk show.
#42 BRITNEY SPEARS - CIRCUS
Yes I know, Britney Spears on the top albums! Believe it. Her album was so catchy I almost broke my hip dancining to "Womanizer".
#43 KANYE WEST - 808'S AND HEARTBREAK
Once again this another artist who stepped down his game this year. But anything Kanye does I enjoy.
#44 THE RACONTEURS - CONSOLERS OF THE LONELY
I will always prefer The White Stripes. But for now this is a good appetiser.
#45 NINE INCH NAILS - THE SLIP
Everyone loves this album. Do I have to say anything? No.
#46 THE BLACK KEYS - ATTACK AND RELEASE
Danger Mouse just turns some of the most unlikely bands into my new favorites. This is an example.
#47 THE PACK A.D. -FUNERAL MIXTAPE
If you are going through The White Stripes withdrawel. I have the answer. This band.
#48 COLDPLAY - VIVA LA VIDA
I know it's a little cheesy. But Coldplay will always fill my deep and empty piece of my heart.
#49 BEYONCE - I AM SASHA FIERCE
This album had some interesting cuts. I was reluctant. But check it out.
#50 AC/DC - BLACK ICE
I was expecting more. But it deserves where it is on my list.
So that's it for the Best Albums of 2008. Hopefully next year will be better.
This is such a beautiful album. This was the brightest spot this year. It was heartfelt, emotional and most of all lyrically breathtaking. It came from an unknown artist who I had never heard of. This album changed my perspective on music this year. If you do not have this album. Go buy it. Don't even think about it. Just do it. Trust me if it was not for this album. This year would be dim.
#2 HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR - HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR
This classic dance/disco record was the best in years. It was so abstractly put together that it could have easily failed. Yet it succeeded like I've ever seen a dance record. I think this will be the best dance record of the next decade.
#3 RA RA RIOT - THE RHUMB LINE
This record was the best debut of the year. It was like Vampire Weekend but better. It had a story and it was everything a debut should be. This was an album of maturity from such a young band.
#4 DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - NARROW STAIRS
I did not immediately enjoy this album. It was a grower that's for sure. But once you listen to the lyrics you will find that this album has some of the best lyrics of the year. Each song was heart breaking to listen to. But it exuded hope.
#5 SANTOGOLD - SANTOGOLD
This was my most anticipated release of the year. It defiantly lived up to it. This album crossed genres in a matter of seconds. Which is not a easy thing to do. But she did it with ease. Like a veteran.
#6 B.B. KING - ONE KIND FAVOR
This was a return to his roots for B.B. King. It had heavy piano and most of all great guitar work from one of the best on the planet. Even his voice is still pretty top notch. I want to be B.B. King when I'm in my 80's.
#7 FLEET FOXES - FLEET FOXES
Talk about putting your influences on your sleeve. This is the closest you will get to The Beach Boys you will get. But this album did that without sounding old. It was something of epic proportions. Rather than another Beach Boys record.
#8 SIGUR ROS - Mð suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
Even though I don't know what the hell their saying, I know it's something amazing. That's how you know this band is good. That's also why I love this album to pieces.
#9 ADELE - 19
This album was slow to catch on to America. But if you hadn't heard the song chasing pavements before it came out. What kind of indie hipster are you? The album was a mix of Jazz/R&B and it payed off.
#10 PORTISHEAD - THIRD
This was a comeback that no one had seen coming. This album was everything that Portishead should have been. It's a comeback that I want to stay back.
#11 BECK - MODERN GUILT
Who knew Beck had a taste for Psychodelic 70's music. Not me. But with master producer Danger Mouse, it came to be. The title track was one I couldn't stop listening to.
#12 LIL' WAYNE - THA CARTER III
This was the most anitcipated rap album for a reason. It's the best. Lil' Wayne spits like no other on this record. But does it (sorta) tastfully.
#13 ERYKAH BADU - NEW AMERYKAH: PART ONE (NEW WORLD)
This album gave me chills the first time I heard it. It was a commentary on everything that was happening this year. Erykah you've done it again.
#14 ROBYN - ROBYN
It seems Sweeden is the new Indie hotspot of the world. Especially for pop. This record had been celebrated in the gay community. But then was put to critical acclaim. It deserves all of it to.
#15 TV ON THE RADIO - DEAR SCIENCE
This album was actually a step down from their previous record. But it still came on top as a pretty good record. Although I was dissaponted it grew on me.
#16 SHEARWATER - ROOK
Besides Bon Iver, this album was one of the best crafted. It was so simple yet so complex in meaning. It really struck a cord with me.
#17 RAPHAEL SAADIQ - THE WAY I SEE IT
Classic R&B never gets old. "The Way I See It" was the best male R&B record of the year. It had touches of Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross. But he made it his own.
#18 CAT POWER - JUKEBOX
Cat Power came put with another covers album this year. But no one can do a cover album like Cat Power. She makes it her own. While still paying respect to the greats.
#19 MADONNA - HARD CANDY
I know I am going to get heck for this. But this was my guilty pleasure. It had top notch producers and Madonna has never been hotter. Who hasn't listened to "4 Minutes" under their blankets.
#20 VAMPIRE WEEKEND - VAMPIRE WEEKEND
This was the most anticipated debut for the music community. This band is what they call a blog 'sensation'. This record reminded me alot of Paul Simon's "Graceland". That's a big compliment.
#21 MGMT - ORACULAR SPECTACTULAR

The Worst Album List...2008
I will be releasing my Top 50 Albums of 2008 in 2 days. So I thought I would post ‘The Worst’. These are the albums that should be avoided at all costs. Don't even consider buying or listening. It's a waste of life. I will list 10 most horrible albums from this year.
- Soulja Boy Tell'Em - iSouljaBoyTellem (It just came out this week. If you hadn't heard, excuse this announcment It's hurt my ears.)
- Shwayze - Shwayze (It's all trash)
- The PussycatDolls - Dolls Domination (It's the Pussycat Dolls. It's a shoe-in.)
- Mudvayne - The New Game (It's all noise to me)
- Jason Mraz - We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things (I know I will get hated on by 14 girls. But it's just not good)
- P!ink - Funhouse (I liked her music before. Now it's just bad)
- Katy Perry - One of the Boys (It has 1 catchy song. All the rest is mediocore at best)
- Nickelback - Dark Horse (The first single was OK. The rest of the album is trash)
- Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy (The expectations were so high. It let most down.)
- Trace Adkins - X (Ughhh....)
A Great Free Download
This is a great remix album from DJ Mick Boogie. It's remixing Adele's album 19. It's called 1988. The point of the album is if her album was released in 1988, what would it sound like? Well here is his interpretation.

Fall Out Boy - Folie A Deux
It seems like Fall Out Boy went all out this year. Endorsing Barack Obama and playing a few concerts for him. But their new album is apart of it to. Their newest album 'Folie A Deux' is straight pop-punk-emo madness. It's mostly a hit, but some tracks are well, good.
The best tracks on the album are when they try a simple formula, great big chorus'. The rest will just fall into place. Examples of this are "I Don't Care", "America's Sweethearts" and "Coffee's for Loser's". These all are the best tracks on this pretty good album.
I have nothing bad to say about this album. Although at points the lyrics are a little bit childish. But this is a release that all the tracks are strong. Even though I say this, it's not an classic album. It's a great album. It's not only great, it is their best album yet.
Rating: 82/100 (A strong effort from a band still growing)
11.12.08
Universal Mind Control - Common
Common has been one of the most critically successful rap artist of the 21st century. His lyrics have always been at the forefront of his music. Second, was production. It seemed he had it all figured out. But with his newest album "Universal Mind Control", he's thrown a curve ball.
Universal Mind Control is full of club jams rather than social political commentary on his previous efforts. It's mostly about girls who bump and grind. Mind you some tracks on his other album's did this. But they did it tastefully. Not so explicit in his intention as on this album.
The production on the album is pretty good. Although after a while it may sound the same to the ears. He enlisted some top notch producers. So that should not surprise anyone.
Overall this is Common's weakest album yet. It doesn't have the lyrics that his previous albums had. I don't want to give up on Common yet. We all know really know what he is capable of. This is definitely not his potential.
Rating: 61/100 (Universal Mind Control [UNC], Punch Drunk Love)
10.12.08
Britney Spears - Blackout (Circus Celebration Review)
When Blackout had hit the public in 2007 everyone was wondering if Britney would pull it off. The answer was yes.
Britney made in my opinion, her strongest album in her career. "Gimme More" was a hit all over the world for good reason. It was dance oriented which hit big in Europe and in North America people listened well because it's Britney. Another great track is "Radar". Where Britney comes off as a maneater who is very picky about her men.
The weskest moment is "Perfect Lover". It's just is not up to par with the rest of the album. Even though the track was pretty good.
Rating: 81/100 (Radar, Piece of Me and Hot As Ice)
My Thoughts On The Top 50 Albums by Rolling Stone
So that time of year has come. Most magazine's will be releasing their top albums. But it seems no magazine does it like Rolling Stone. I always love to read their list. So here are my thoughts:
1. TV on the Radio: Dear Science (Great Album, but not a #1 album)
2. Bob Dylan: Tell Tale Signs — The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 (This collection is great...but I don't think a B-side album should be this high)
3. Lil Wayne: Tha Carter III (Best Rap Album of the Year)
4. My Morning Jacket: Evil Urges (I thought this album was just ok. They have done much better)
5. John Mellancamp : Life, Death, Love and Freedom (A great return!)
6. Santogold: Santogold (I think this album should be higher. It has everything to make a great album)
7. Coldplay: Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (I liked some of the songs on this album. But overall it's very mediocre)
8. Beck: Modern Guilt (I think this should be a little higher. One of his best albums)
9. Metallica : Death Magnetic (Not the biggest fan of metal...so no comment)
10. Vampire Weekend: Vampire Weekend (A great debut, needs more teeth)
11. Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes (A definite throwback to the Beach Boys. Amazing! Should be higher)

13. Blitzen Trapper: Furr (A great debut. One of my favorites)
14.Ryan Adams and the Cardinals: Cardinology (I liked this album. I know people who liked this album much more than me)
15. The Black Keys: Attack & Release (The production is great. Maybe a touch too high)
16. Randy Newman: Harps and Angels (A classic voice)
17. B.B. King: One Kind Favor (A return to form. Classic)
18. Lucinda Williams: Little Honey (Not as good as last album. But still beter than most stuff)
19. Erykah Badu: New Amerykah: Part 1 (4th World War) (Should be higher. A great album. Production is top notch)
20. Kings of Leon: Only by the Night (This is too high. This album had a few good tracks)
21. Kaiser Chiefs: Off With Their Heads (I liked this album...but not as much as Rolling Stone)
22. Jackson Browne: Time the Conquerer (I think this album was brilliant, it had a little bit of everything)
23. Conor Oberst: Conor Oberst (This album was too quirky for me)
24. Girl Talk: Feed the Animals (One of the most original albums of the year)
25. The Magnetic Fields: Distortion (Liked this album. Like always very well done)
26. Mudcrutch: Mudcrutch (A very good album. I liked most of the album)
27. Brian Wilson: That Lucky Old Sun (Expecting a little more)
28. The Knux: Remind Me in Three Days… (Very original compared to most rap)
29. Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever Ago (Amazing album, very haunting. Should be higher)
30. Duffy: Rockferry (Sometimes she sounds whiny. But it was something new in Soul)
31. MGMT: Oracular Spectacular (Lots of great tracks. Some were not very good)
32. Jamey Johnson: The Lonesome Song (A little too much country for me...)
33. Ne-Yo: Year of the Gentleman (A little overated. But hes got some killer tracks)
34. Stephen Malkmus: Real Emotional Trash (Amazing album. Guitar is amazing)
35. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! (Should be higher. The lyrics are unbelievable)
36. The Hold Steady: Stay Positive (I don't know what to think about this album?)
37. Nine Inch Nails: The Slip (One of their best)
38. Ra Ra Riot: The Rhumb Line (An amazing band. An amazing CD. Should be higher)
39. Taylor Swift: Fearless (Not my thing)
40. Jonas Brothers: A Little Bit Longer (I liked some tracks. I think they belong somewhere here)
41. AC/DC: Black Ice (A dissapointment)
42. David Byrne and Brian Eno: Everything That Happens Will Happen Today (An ok album)
43. Nas: Untitled (Some meaningful tracks. Should be higher)
44. The Raconteurs: Consolers of the Lonely (Amazing guitar and an amazing CD)
45. Be Your Own Pet: Get Awkward (A great punk album)
46. The Academy Is…: Fast Times at Barrington High (My guilty pleasure)
47. Of Montreal: Skeletal Lamping (Was expecting more from this amazing band)
48. Raphael Saadiq: The Way I See It (I loved this album. Still do. Should be higher)
49. Hot Chip: Made in the Dark (This album keeps growing on me)
50. No Age: Nouns (Some tracks get on my nerves. But overall a great album)
So these were my thoughts on this years list. I think about 75% of the list should be somewhere else. So comment about the list...
(I will have my list released on the 19th of December, so check in)
9.12.08
The Fear - Lily Allen (Single)
Lily Allen's debut album "Alright, Still" was a majic mic of ska and catchy pop chorus'. So one must think that for her first single she would follow that same magic formula. But we're wrong.
Her first single (The Fear) is pure electro-pop to satisfy anyones craving for catchy pop. Her vocals on the track are fairly similar to her last album. But the track seems fresh rather than a stale sophmore album (which most people were expecting).
The only thing that brings the song down is the lyrics. Here's an example:
"Life’s about film stars and less about mothers
It’s all about fast cars and cussing each other "
But overall the song is a good start to a highly anticipated album...
Overall: 72/100
6.12.08
The Killers - Day & Age
It seems The Killers have a very short attention span. Every album they make they try to cover new ground. Hot Fuss was dance-rock, Sam's Town was a Bruce Springsteen tribute and now Day & Age which is pure electronic-pop album. The
Once I had heard that they would be working with Stuart Price I was very excited to say the least. I had been a fan since Madonna's "Confessions" album. His swirly electronica style was a favorite of mine.
Once the first single had been released I thought it was a very good first single. It was typical Stuart Price style and it was a feast for the ears. I didn't quite understand the 'controversy' about the lyrics, but that's beside the point.
The album has a few high points but it's mostly low. Some of the high points are "Spaceman" and "Joy Ride" which are both lush and have that typical Killers sound. The low points are "I Can't Stay" and "The World We Live". Which both are some of their worst tracks.
In all, this album is not worth the buy if you are not a Killers fan. But if you are you will be left with wanting more from this band who has tons of potential.
Rating: 54/100 (Best Tracks: Spaceman and Human)
Britney Spears - Circus
Ever since Britney's split with boy toy Justin Timberlake it seems nothing has gone her way (divorce, custody and her unsuccessful album Blackout...). But she's back with a new album Circus.Circus is a mix of many styles mixed into one. From the dance oriented first single "Womanizer" to the ballad oriented "Out from Under". Circus is a mixed bag of tricks from top-notch producers and a new revitalized Britney.
The best moments of the album come from the ballad "Out from Under" which is her best ballad since "Everytime". The best track is "If U Seek Amy". The song is an up-beat robotized track which could have belonged on her previous album Blackout. Another surprise on the album is the comeback of the outstanding track "Radar".
But Circus doesn't come with it's flaws. "My Baby" is the weakest track on the album. It's a track which Britney comes off as melodramatic and frankly whiny.
Overall this album is a good effort from Britney. It may not be as good as her previous album Blackout but, it's still pretty darn good.
Rating: 76/100 (Best Tracks: If U Seek Amy and Radar)
[I will be reviewing Britney's previous album Blackout, in celebration of Circus)
Once Again...(I'm Sorry)
Sorry I haven't been able to post anything new. I had a new job and the the first couple of months were very hectic! So I will be posting again. I promise.
