Top 5 01:: The Appleseed Cast - Sagarmatha 02:: John Frusciante - The Empyrean 03:: Thursday - Common Existence 04:: Franz Ferdinand - Tonight : Franz Ferdinand 05:: Iran - Dissolver Thursday really surprised me, I always thought they were just boring emocore music, but their new album is really good and different. In some points they even sound like they've been listening to My Bloody Valentine, which is interesting. Haven't listened to new Buckethead yet, will do soon.
01:: Red - Innocence and Instinct 02:: P.O.S. - Never Better 03:: Hoobastank - For(n)ever 04:: N.A.S.A. - The Spirit of Apollo
1: Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion 2: Franz Ferdinand - Tonight Tonight may grow on me and eventually overtake Merriweather, because i'm starting to find the production on that album kind of annoying.
