Most anticipated of 2011

[Penny Lane]

I never got into radiohead. I liked In Rainbows. Does that make me a bad person? I liked it possibly due to the situation I was in when I heard it - drinking heavily at Monks in Philly in the middle of the afternoon.

Also Fleet Foxes and Band of Horses always interest me for about 5 minutes before I turn it off and just put on an MMJ album

In Rainbows rules

So does The Bends and OK Computer, other than those 3, didn't love any of the others..

Kid A is my favorite album of all time.

Jayhawks are mixing a new record, that'll likely be out next year.

I was excited about the Fleet Foxes myself until I read some of the difficulties they have had with the recording process. I can't remember where I read some of the things around it but I believe they have have difficulty with the writing process, stalled several times in trying to get it out and I believe abandoned quite a bit. I also read somewhere that Robin reported there will be more electronics on the album and maybe even danceable stuff? This could all not be true and just speculation but this kind of news makes me think sophmore slump.

Yeah, I think it was a myspace message or something like that?  It worried me too.

That's weird. Last I heard, Robin said it was going to be "less poppy" than the first. But that was a while ago.

That's exactly what I heard too, "less poppy"ness... from what I've heard (when I saw them July '09) they had a REALLY F'N RIGHTEOUS new song, "Blue Spotted Tail," that I fell in love
with the minute Robin started belting it..... and there's also been a song "Bedouin Dress" that's been floating around some of their later shows.... also sounds pretty cool.  And other live youtubes of them that I've seen, I can't tell if they're new Fleet songs or cover tunes for some of 'em.... I dunno though, I think I'll dig anything they do..... I also love Robin's solo tunes under White Antelope, cover of Joan Baez' "Silver Dagger," "False Knight on the Road
(BEAUTIFUL SONG... was fortunate enough to see him come out and play it in '09 that fateful night.....) and his version of "Wild Mountain Thyme," which always takes me to my imaginary cabin in the mountains...  :P Def. stoked for their newness, whenever they're ready to share

Guys, to avoid disappointment just get your Beach Boys & CSNY records out and play those!!! ;D

They're each individual bubbles of sparkling gems of magick harmonizing angels. The Fleets just happen to theme 90% of their lyrics to nature, so you know I'm not writing them off anytime soon.  ;D

Anyone else excited for a new Mars Volta album? I can't believe it's been 1 year and 7 months and counting since their last. Hoping that it is as chaotic as Bedlam but as listenable as Deloused.

If they play, I'm going, so its a date.

Woo hoo! A date with Ghosts and Radiohead. Holla.

The Go! Team
Amos Lee

Amos did a lot of collaborating with the Calexico boys on this one.  Sam Beam's on there as well.   Comes out end of Jan., should be great. 

I would bet heavily on a sophomore slump from Fleet Foxes.  From interviews I've read from them, they basically didn't even like the last album they put out and lucked into their success, right sound right time.  This time I'm guessing they'll try too hard to progress and will miss the mark.   The comments made earlier about their recording struggles are already pointing to this.

I just created a new TVOTR thread right before I saw your post.  I think that we had one before, but my search didn't turn anything up...
