Also, some of these I didn't find to be COMPLETELY deplorable, only massively disappointing.
Sleigh Bells
Reign of Terror
A lot of bullshit production on this. The fake crowd noise and censored swearing gets on my nerves right away. Their last album left me wishy washy because it was just high-gain production, not really noise. This release just only sent them into a more synthetic direction.
Metric
Synthetica
Yeah, OK, this is the kind of band you want to be now, Metric? Fine, whatever, I'll go listen to something else, anything interesting at all. Cheers
Crystal Castles
Same to you, Crystal Castles. Want to be a goth band with bad mixing? Alright, bye then.
Reel Big Fish
Candy Coated Fury
Aaron, Turn The Radio off really wasn't that good. Your fans don't want tired ska riffs from 1997 and songs about girlfriends. It was the three albums that came after TTRO that were brilliant. This is just a sad cash in on idiots who still cling to late-90s ska.
White Rabbits
Milk Famous
So the only White Rabbits album I had before this was Fort Nightly. It's got this cool lounge kinda vibe to it, like Hot Hot Heat does. Finally got around to getting another by these guys, and hanging around with Spoon too much has poisoned their songwriting. This is BLAAAAAAAND!
