the most underrated album of the 2010?

I think it is Dr. John: Tribal. Even I (I am a great fan) didn´t get any information about it until I read from wikipedia about month ago that there has come a new album in this year. There comes me e-mail regulary from very great music shop and they inform every important albums (not hit albums) but there has been nothing about Tribal. When I was his gig in summer, even there no-one said nothing about the new album. Of course Dr. John doesn´t invent the wheel in new album, but I think he don´t have to, because he has made so inventious music before. I think tha album has so good feelings in it that it warms my heart in this new day world where is too much bad feelings even in the music.

^ I agree(HOWEVER! I don't really follow up on many new releases)....upon first listen I was....kind of hoping somethin' more experimental rock-like.........
but then after a few listens I was mesmerized by her voice. and (sort of) new direction. The album certain came out a bit more poppy....but helll I was listening to it all day yesterday

Well, giggle the ozone continues to be the most underrated band out there, so them I guess. I mean this guy records these progressive masterpieces in various new york studios, he has some genuinely catchy POP hooks, his compositions are complex as hell but really forward thinking. He brings to mind everyone from Thinking Plague to Henry Cow to Dancing Cigarettes to Beefheart to Enya, with lots of weird synth exploration, clean guitars, space-rock stuff... insane in places but nothing feels like he's just showing off, or just being complex for the hell of it, the songs are just really intelligently written.. I was a fan of his before I became his friend.

Brian Ruryk's "Cycle of Fords" 6 tape set is one of the best albums I've EVER heard. It's all acoustic guitar, nothing else, almost like Bill Orcutt but MORE violent, usually one in each speaker.. trading violent noise licks.. imagine Orcutt meets Bailey meets Gastric Female Reflex but a thousand times more insane and violent. Truly scummy sounding in places, but brilliant.

Really good live band too! they've got something alright.

Well, sigh*....I think Sufjan Steven's All Delighted People is magnificent, and somehow it got trashed, while the overblown mess called Age Of Adz got worship.

*It's not cool to like Sufjan here either, is it?

Sufjan Steven's is def not underrated er will anything he'll release ever be it seems... i'm sorry but he is way over (hipster)-hyped.

Sufjan isn't that bad but still he is terrible overrated. The Hunderd In The Hands album(s) where sadly overlooked by the hipsters

I just hate being called a hipster cause I like or don't like some fucking musician. It's just a stock term now that people pull out of their asses because they have no imagination to think up some worthwhile derogatory comment.

Now this is a "hipster":

"Oh, man! Ned spelled ink all over my poems! He's a realflat tire, I mean a cube, man. He's putting us on the train to Squaresville, Mona!"

This is, as you say, a particularly good album. I'd forgotten it came out this year. They're like the band that more bands should be like, instead of shit (hello, the Melvins).

that harvey milk album is very good. i only really like their first two albums ("the pleaser" is okay, i guess) but the new one is definitely their best since "courtesy and good will towards men."

Anyone (in the States at least...) seen that Hyundai commerical where there is this young-ish couple in there 20's (i guess) performing there own rendition of "jingle bells" w/ drums guitar and keyboards... that is the definition of "hipster" gone too far, if you look and act and like these type of people then you are a hipster. its like they came straight out of urban outfitters... this duo i think is the most underrated musicians until that is they release and album chock full of indie-esque holiday ballads.

Do hipsters accuse each other of being a hipster?

Derek

12.28.2010 09:33 AM

Considering people I know call me one yet continue with their veganism and listening to post-rock... I'd say yes.

I have a few friends in Glasgow who hang out on the bear scene and are, erm, big into post rock or stuff like Haino. One of them, who's the boyfriend of another friend massively into stuff like Kylie&Jason, is a fanatic of NNCK or Columbus Discount Records type stuff. They don't dress like hipsters and like huge amounts of meaty food down their bellies. Can they be considered anti-hipster by Scottish standards?

i think just being Scottish is cool enough. I'd love to be one, if it was up to me.

Derek, I'm disappointed with you. I thought that being Scottish, therefore cool by nationality alone, would mean you were 100% certain of what the correct answer is.

Genteel Death

12.28.2010 10:26 AM

It's interesting though that you mentioned post-rock and veganism as staples in hip taste. I never thought of them that way. I suppose the hipster tag is applied differently depending on where you are located.

Derek

12.28.2010 10:44 AM

I've said this before, but nearly everyone on here could be called a hipster. It's a total meaningless term. You could pick out anyone here and point 'hipster' attributes towards them.

I guess Mogwai being native of my city has something to do with it. Hah!

That' true in a way, even though I don't associate cool with hipster as such, so someone on here who appear knowledgable and opinionated about music hasn't necessarily got cool taste in music by my own standards. And what to make of people who have what I percieve as hip taste in music (Animal Collective, Best Coast, Crystal Stilts, record of the year kind of stuff) but dress normal?

_slavo_

12.28.2010 03:58 PM

i hope noone will ever call me a hipster because that would really make me sad.
