[Birds in Hell]

My list was terrible.

I didn't want to say it but yeah.

It's okay, I'm painfully aware of it.

I don't know, it was kind of an underwhelming year for me (both musically and otherwise). I listened to a bunch of stuff but not much really made a deep impression - at least with respect to new releases. I'll hopefully inadvertently stumble onto all the great things I missed this year at some point over the next few years/decades.

[Birds in Hell]

I mean, HONESTLY: Atoms for Peace, Flaming Lips, Monster fucking Magnet.

It's all just...perfunctory. Mere place-filling.

[Heathen]

I'm more concerned about your #1

[Birds in Hell]

Definitely a sentimental choice but I'll stand by the inclusion of that one.

I don't think it was the best album released last year by any means but nothing else was quite as meaningful to me as that record was.

[Birds in Hell]

I don't know, I just think I have terrible taste in music - but hey, what are you going to do?

It could certainly be worse, granted.

[zeb]

Don't be so hard on yourself.

[Heathen]

Everyone has terrible taste. I'm just going to point it out every time I get a chance to do so.

[zeb]

Did we see your ten, Heathen ol' chum?

[Heathen]

I don't get much enjoyment from assigning scores and rankings and I don't believe that good records necessarily come in round numbers, so, no, we haven't.

[zeb]

What if you were to let us know which albums you enjoyed most in 2013 without assigning numerical scores or a ranking to that group?

try.

I've been doing that in the 2013 thread all year long. Hell I even posted a list.

[zeb]

Imma look that up!

[Malloy]

i'm so into everything heathen it's sickening

[southp]

I approve of this list.

[warehouse]
