APHEX MOTHERFUCKING TWIN REPRESENTING AT #35!!!!!!!!!!! honestly i was reading that list thinking "holy shit, i've never heard of even one of these bands" but then i saw aphex twin and well, uh, suffice to say i've heard a little bit about richard david james made in ireland raised in cornwall. still, it's just kind of weird to see the new LP syro get all of the acclaim that the 5.5-from-pitchfork LP drukQs should of gotten. i think it's people just kind of giving a career referendum on aphex twin and basically saying "it's cool that he's back! 8/10!" when the album is just kind of.... meh. tuss v2.0 aka SUPERTUSS when i really really REALLY wanted to hear an album full of stuff that expanded on the ideas of tracks like this obscure/ish little gem from ~7 years ago or whatever. |

That was not a classic album! It was just pretty good, which for modern U2, is really good. |

I enjoy their albums and it reminds me why I loved them to begin with but they arent breaking any new ground or anything. ATYCLB was a classic. You missed on that one somehow. Which is weird for a Joshua Tree fella like yourself |

I was commenting on the list in general. When you talk about whiny douches my immediate thought goes to a U2 front man who can't steer a bicycle. |

Just listened to the new U2. Unspectacular. Sounded like all the other U2 stuff. It wasn't bad but wasn't album of the year in my opinion. The War On Drugs album was way beter than that for example. I don't know, I should just give up. I admit I am not a big fan of "popular" music. I don't think I have a better ear than the masses but I will say that the steaming masses usually run towards a lot of hot garbage with a catchy beat and hook but not an ounce of substance. |

I don't think he is a bad guy necessarily. He could just step off the 2 or 3 soap boxes he has stacked up occasionally and let someone else try to save the world. |

They definitely have some of that stuff in their catalog, just didn't find it here. It was just ok to me. Decent. |
