The new Flaming Lips is definitely contender for album of the year. It has 18 tracks, but it all flows together so well, it feels like the album is only 30 minutes long. It's so diverse too. It's rare I think an album with so many tracks is worth listening to more than a few times, but this is all I've listened to since I dled it. Definitely supporting this when it comes in stores.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #841 on:** September 23, 2009, 04:43:07 PM »

What's your aoty so far? For me it's still Neko Case - Middle Cyclone

Himu · « **Reply #842 on:** September 23, 2009, 04:53:47 PM »

I dunno. I don't think I've heard anything this year that's worthy of the title, but I think Embryonic is definitely the best contender.

There's definitely some good albums though...I'm pretty big on:

Yeah yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz
Muse - The Resistance
Raekwon - Cuban Linx 2
Young Galaxy - Invisible Republic
Metric - Fantasies
Pearl Jam - Backspacers

Haven't heard Neko Case. I still don't understand the hate for the new Muse. I've been listening to it over the past few weeks and I'm starting to feel it's the best Muse album since Origin of Symmetry.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #843 on:** September 23, 2009, 04:55:02 PM »

I'll give Resistance another chance. Usually I listen to albums front to back. I didn't get past 4 songs on that album

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #844 on:** September 23, 2009, 04:55:18 PM »

Yeah, mine is probably the The Flaming Lips. It came out of nowhere, because I wasn't expecting anything great after At War with the Mystics.

It's tough to say, though. I still haven't even made my way through all of the big 09 releases

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #845 on:** September 23, 2009, 04:55:50 PM »

The Flaming Lips always rock.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #846 on:** September 23, 2009, 04:56:15 PM »

The Bat for Lashes album is high up there for aoty, for me anyway.

Himu · « **Reply #847 on:** September 23, 2009, 04:57:05 PM »

There's plenty I still haven't heard this year, like the "new" Philip Glass.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #848 on:** September 23, 2009, 04:59:01 PM »

I guess I'ma have to try that Flaming Lips album again. I really didn't like At War with the Mystics and I wasn't really feeling this new one when I was listening to it on Colbert's site.

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #849 on:** September 23, 2009, 05:00:06 PM »

I can't get into Bat for Lashes. I'm really picky about female vocalists

What is everyone's favorite track off of Embryonic? I'm gravitating towards Worm Mountain now.

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #855 on:** September 23, 2009, 05:05:40 PM »

The Ego's Last Stand. I love Powerless -> The Ego's Last Stand

BrandNew's favorite track is TBD until he reads the Pitchfork Media review.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #857 on:** September 23, 2009, 05:07:36 PM »

anyone else never know what came out in a particular year? music is weird...i'm up to the second with videogame info, but there are too many bands to keep up with who is releasing what and too many good past albums to really care about the new stuff. i'm a fan of the flaming lips, but i probably won't hear the new one for some time...

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #858 on:** September 23, 2009, 05:10:28 PM »

Excuse me for not really digging an album once I listen to it.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #859 on:** September 23, 2009, 05:10:44 PM »

I don't, but I also follow only a few artists. There are music junkies that live for this stuff, so they properly treat the medium with the same attention that you do to games.

I can't tell you shit about games anymore, personally.

Robo · « **Reply #860 on:** September 23, 2009, 05:12:08 PM »

For me, AOTY is between Merriweather Post Pavilion, It's Blitz!, No More Stories, Embryonic, Farm, and Hospice, leaning heavily toward MPP (suck it, haters/Willco). Honorable mentions to the new Cymbals Eat Guitars album and Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.

That's probably more Pitchfork-alligned than anything BrandNew would list, but idc.

I agree entirely wit dis man

Although I don't like the YYYs and I'd replace it with Cymbals Eat Guitars.

oh wait turns out i do have some 2009 music--

Dan Deacon - Bromst
Sonic Youth - The Eternal
Warp records Recreated compilation
Modest Mouse - No one's first and you're next
Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs

lets rank them.

1. Dan Deacon and Yo La Tengo
2. Sonic Youth
3. Modest Mouse
4. Warp compilation (jesus this is kinda bad)

Also, The xx's "xx" is really fantastic, and Jason Lytle's new album "Yours Truly, the Commuter", which is as if Grandaddy were still together and never started to suck.

xx is awesome. i really dig drowsy 3am type music, so i think this is it for me. bat for lashes might be number 2 so far.

Yeah, that sound is right up my alley. I can't really describe it -- it's like early Pastels meets Portishead or something.

No One's First and You're Next is just some B-sides, right? I have a big boner for Modest Mouse, but they release a new collection of B-sides, like, every 2 years.

While I was working on my script for the project, Thirlwell's stuff was in constant rotation.

I'm working on a spec script that I think he'd be perfect for. I am going to aim to be a producing partner on that one, just so I can campaign to get Thirlwell.
