Arcade Fire - Funeral - Classic Alt. Rock album. Arguably the best album of 00 and celebrated for singles such as Wake Up & Rebellion (Lies) but I really enjoyed Neighbourhood (Laika) on my latest listen through.
Big Scary - Vacation - Australian Alt. Rock album. Bit of fluff and doesn't hit too many big highs but enough variety to remain interesting. Gladiator brought me to the band but Falling Away stood out to me on my first play through.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bands. I've been getting into Garage Rock lately listening to bands such as The Kills, Dead Weather, MC5, The Sonics etc. which gave me the perfect excuse to branch out to Karen O's little ol' band. I've experienced the YYY's back in '09 and while the effort was solid I was left a little underwhelmed after all the hype but thankfully this album holds up. Turn Into was the star of the last listen through.
Interpol - Antics. Eh, y'know I used to really like this band but after the first two songs I felt like I had my fill and the rest of the album didn't convince me to change my mind. They seem to only have two songs, slow and sad or fast and sad and Banks' voice can really grate after awhile. Some really decent lines on here and a couple of decent tracks but as a album I didn't think it came together all too well, at least not on this listen.
