    How did I forget Midlake...?

    Add that to the contenders... :roll:
    I was amazed that it took until the 4th page for Midlake to be mentioned. Such a beautifully hypnotic album.

    Ha ha, I hadn't even noticed that! :D

    I got the hold of the new Endless Boogie and Eels albums today too. On first listen "Tomorrow Morning" isn't quite as good as "End Times" but it's still a very good record. Endless Boogie's new one is really, really dirty (in a very good way!)

    I think id have to go for Brandon Boyd- The Wild Trapeze.Closely followed by Far and She & Him.
    By far the biggest disappointment is Stone Temple Pilots.

    for me right now, it's neck and neck between:

    land of talk - cloak and cipher
    black keys - brothers
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam

    True indeed, a mate bought it and saved me wasting my money on it. I thought the first two were ok but Welcome To Discovery Park was a duffer too!!
    I'd have to say Isobel Campbell/Mark Lanegan or The Dead Weather for this year.
    Like a book among the many on a shelf...

    Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
    Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12

    I agree. I listened to a few tracks off the new album and wasn't impressed. Welcome to Discovery Park has a couple good songs but was overall too slow. Shame is by far their best.

    for me it's a close run thing but I'd have to say

    The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness by Tony Da Gatorra vs Gruff Rhys

    There's nothing else out there that sounds like this!

    but I've also loved

    The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
    Teen Dream - Beach House
    Go - Jonsi
    Hawk - Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan



    it's been a pretty slow year for Rock/heavy metal though :(
