I don't think that's a fair characterization of the review, or of Animal Collective.

Just for hilarity's sake...Sugar Ray, Music for Cougars

Also, on AMG, the AC album got 4.5 stars, not 5.

Not to self-promote too much, but judging from all the Isis & Mastodon love, chances are you'd dig Vaka. Album was released in January this year. Doesn't sound like Isis or Mastodon but shares the same sort of general vibe. That and maybe throw in some Philip Glass.
I'm not gonna try and get you to buy it, just google Vaka "Kappa Delta Phi" site:blogspot.com and you'll find it on like a zillion blogs.

Oh good call, I totally forgot about this release.

Normally Beirut isn't really my thing but that effort really worked for me for some reason.

 

[marvelusjd]

Dream Theater - Black Clouds & Silver Linings
Dave Matthews Band - Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Animals and Leaders - Animals and Leaders
Scale The Summit- Carving Desert Canyons
Isis - Wavering Radiant
Chickenfoot - Chickenfoot
Kalisia - Cybion

I'm sure I'm missing a couple and there are more that I'm looking forward to this year that haven't released yet...
Porcupine Tree, Third Eye Blind, Scar Symmetry, Between the Buried and Me, Threat Signal

Obviously the new Circulatory System Signal Morning is the record of the year. In fact, the vinyl October release pre-order page just went up today at Cloud Recordings. CD release this week. Been almost 8 years since the last one, and the psychedelic ride finally continues. Got my ticket

Click pic for more info...




Edit: OK, so it's not this week anymore, CD release date is actually Sept 8 now. Been listening to a download for awhile and thought it was still this week. It really is a very cool record, one that pays off repeat listens too. Pretty dark and dense, so probably requires repeats to fully appreciate, if a person is inclined to take the trip. Both Bill Doss and Jeff Mangum in the mix too, along with every other member of Olivia Tremor Control. Maybe a new OTC in the future? Hmmm...

Also been listening a lot to the latest Jon Hassell release, Last Night the Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes in the Street. Very nice.

 

[Jasper994]

...somebody released a good album this year?!?

 

[Signal2Noise]

I'm thinking Dead Weather's Horehound is going to be in my final top 10 list of 09.

 

[blmelon]

i agree with several of the repeats in this thread.

one that isn't listed enough: Bibio - Ambivalence Avenue

some I haven't seen on here yet:
Fever Ray - s/t
Passion Pit - Manners
Discovery - LP
Matt & Kim - Grand (really fun summertime pop tunes)

You and I must be thinking on the same wavelength, because those are my favorite three songs from the album as well only in opposite order.
