Album of the year (so far)

[Hansione]

I’m not so long on (the) board and I’m reading and learning a lot.
I would like to have the opinion of freakscene members about this question. What is the best (2001)album you’ve bought this year?
I’m going (for sentimental reasons) for:
The Strokes..Is this it [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

[Cloud9]

Gore Slut – Girl + Turtles

[SG]

Red House Painters-Old Ramon

[Cale]

Tomahawk – Tomahawk….T’was released on Halloween ’01

[Anthony]

Some others from me:

Low-Things We Lost In The Fire
Kristin Hersh-Sunny Border Blue
Mogwai-Rock Action
Tindersticks-Can Our Love
Lucinda Williams-Essence
Birddog-A Sweet And Bitter Fancy
Sparklehorse-It`s A Wonderful Life
Gillian Welch-Time(The Revelator)
Mercury Rev-All Is Dream
Hope Sandoval And The Warm Inventions-Bavarian Fruit Bread

This might change a little by the end of the year.

[Bucky Ramone]

Haven’t made up my mind yet, but some strong contenders are:

Ryan Adams – Gold
Mercury Rev – All is dream
Steve Wynn – Here come the miracles
The White Stripes – White bloodcells
Built to Spill – Ancient melodies of the Future

and some strong outsiders:
Sanford Arms – Too loud for the snowman
Pinback – Blue Screen Life
Preston School of Industry – All this sounds gas

Somewhere in December you will read my top 10 of 2001 somewhere on this board!

ps. compilation of the year: EBC!!!

Grammy Contenders (so far):

Dylan’s newest
Radiohead – Amnesiac
Tool – Lateralus
REM – Reveal

I think REM’ll win because Dylan did 3 years ago and lord knows they’ll never give it to Radiohead.

[PeteSome]

Spiritulized’s new one has been the best I’ve heard so far.

[overexposed]

I’m going to have to go with Fugazi "The Argument" for my favorite album of the year. Its only been out for a few weeks, but it’s incredible. Amnesiac is pretty up there too.

[sappy]

Aphex Twin – Drukqs ; go on, you know u wanna buy it. goddammit, why can no-one else see the genius of it all…

im goin to see him tomorrow, how lucky am i? along with Plaid, Mira Calix, Leila, Anti-Pop Consortium amongs a few others.

you’re all so jealous.

i can tell.

[SG]

Sappy-the Anti Pop Consortium is fun,heard them on the radio before.
Overexposed-have`nt heard the new Fugazi yet but heard that it`s really good;I thought End Hits was good even though some critics did`nt like it.

[Cale]

Then again, Nebula’s new album is very GREAT…

Does anyone else own it here?

[overexposed]

i don’t have the album, but I saw them live last year, they opened for Motorhead, and they rocked my sweet ass almost as hard as Lemmey did.

Yeah, I saw them when they opened for Mudhoney on August 30th, they rocked VERY hard…

Check out their new album ‘Charged’…I ordered it straight from subpop on vinyl for like $7.00 shipped.
