QOTSA and Daft Punk are great!
The National made another slow song album .... so its good but it lost that punk edge they used to have.
Not sure about AIC -

Modern rock is stuck in a rut.

There's so little worth listening to coming out these days.

This century is living in the shadows of music from the end of the last.

Wow, I totally disagree. But you did just describe the 2000s IMO. But I think the 'teens' are sounding really good so far (thank god.... the 2000s drove me nuts)

Her(?) statement would seem true if she's just going off of what's on rock radio stations or other really mainstream sources. I would never listen to an FM radio station now though. All crap. So really, it's not the music that's in the rut. It's the audience.

Yeah I agree, there is great music coming out left, right and centre but it takes a lot more effort and searching to find it these days. Music is only marketed for a small percentage of the audience that will give them a multi million selling album.

Cry me a river... the guy brought sexy back!

This was a really good song, and I'm not into mainstream stuff.

I buy JT vinyl like some people buy crack.

Tim Simmons · May 2013

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Jai Paul - s/t
Kurt Vile - Walkin on a Pretty Daze
Mikal Cronin - MCII
The National - Trouble Will Find Me
Savages - Silence Yourself
Thee Oh Sees - Floating Coffin
Atoms For peace - AMOK
My Bloody Valentine - mbv
Actress - Silver Cloud

Would be in my Top 10 as of now. At least half of those could be bumped out because there are still 7 months worth of releases to come. 2013 is probably the best year for new music since 2007.

Really liking Daft Punk, so adding that one to the list. Agree with you on The National. I am missing some kind of edge or kick, but it is a good album though and keeps growing on me. Just gave AIC one listen and not too exited by that, but far too early to pass judgement. QOTSA still to come...

Black Diamond · May 2013

Adding Kurt Vile to my list

Edved82 · May 2013

AIC - The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
QOTSA - Like Clockwork

Who'd have thought we'd see new records from those 3 bands, a few years back? Good times indeed. All great records too.

TO42596 · May 2013

Adding QOTSA to the list. That was clear after one listen! The second run only confirmed it. Great album, will be enjoying it for a while!

This was a really good song, and I'm not into mainstream stuff.

I buy JT vinyl like some people buy crack.

This is a PJ message board. And the variety of music discussed on this board is extremely limited compared to say Radioheads message board. Most people on this board dislike mainstream music. Pop music is pretty much ignored.

On the flip side, I love the album and JT is amazing. 20/20 is the best album of the year. Its scope and vision is unrivaled. There isnt anyone in pop music let alone any genre doing this. This is capital A art. Its an artist at the peak of their powers, challenging the art form, genre boundaries, and most importantly himself. All 3 albums sound completely different.

This isnt mailed in pop music. This isnt music made to make JT more wealthy. Its 10 songs, 8 of which are 6 to 8 minutes each, spanning multiple genres and wildly experimental for someone who is undoubtedly one of the biggest superstars in the world. He could have phoned it in, made simple pop songs, and he'd have made bank. Instead he took risks.

Even his music videos are artsy-you seen the last 3 minutes of the mirrors video?

Plus we've still got another 10 songs to go. He has yet another album to be released in the fall,

JT's an innovator. Stunning album. Only Kanye's new one will rival this one in terms of scope, vision and grandness of scale.
