TheGimper (December 24, 2009)

Glad to see you liked African Elephants.

chadreligion (December 24, 2009)

The opening song, X, was actually my favorite, to be quite honest! Guilty!

eazyd2 (December 24, 2009)

you're such a fuckin stupid faggot

damnitsderek (December 24, 2009)

That song is incredible. Kudos, good sir.

IamtheAvatar (December 24, 2009)

There were like 4 good songs on that Dead to Me record.

xseanx (December 24, 2009)

Yeah, Cuban Ballerina was so so so much better.

SouthernLovin (December 24, 2009)

Yup. Been trying to convince myself otherwise... can't.

makeshifty (December 25, 2009)

It's pretty clear that more important people than you disagree. kthxbye

IamtheAvatar (December 28, 2009)

odds are, you're right; things like this are wont to happen. but that really doesn't make any difference.

Mr_International (December 24, 2009)

Bout time somebody acknowledged Grey Britain's existence, as well as its brilliance.

spoon_of_grimbo (December 24, 2009)

it's about time i pointed out that "New Hopes, New Demonstrations" by The Ghost of a Thousand, is basically the sound of a band outdoing Gallows at their own game.

Mr_International (December 24, 2009)

It's a great album too, but have you heard the new Gallows album? It really sounds nothing like that. It's more influenced more by hardcore bands like Trial than their old stuff, which like Ghost of a Thousand was more Bronx-ish rock'n'roll punk. I find it a lot more interesting musically too, there's more diversity between songs and within the songs themselves. TGoaT is definitely up there on my list too though, and I wish it would get a physical release in the U.S.

victim (December 24, 2009)

Everytime I see that, I automatically think of Bright Grey by The Steal instead.

SouthernLovin (December 24, 2009)

Yo. Name's calebknockin on last.fm. Add me.

Also, last two lists are awesome. Frankly, though, I didn't know Moneen was still around.

djkd (December 24, 2009)

No more lists! :(

dreeeamweaver (December 24, 2009)

kenny's list basically explains why their new album is a failure compared to the old records.

victim (December 24, 2009)

I especially liked his pick of the Fearless Yups

istapledmyfoot (December 24, 2009)

you beat me to it. I was going to say how unsurprising it is that the dude from moneen mostly listened to boring and radio-ready indie/emo.
