#31. Metric - "Synthetica" [2012]
Oh shoot! I had not noticed one of the albums from 2011 that is charting in this countdown was actually from 2010. I'll include it anyway. We are one step close from the Top 20!
#30. Arctic Monkeys - "AM" (2013)
AM is one of the many albums whose original physical copy I bought while I was in Buenos Aires. It's an album that is still on the rise. Sadly, it didn't have enough fuel to reach my Top 20. Number 30 is kind of good anyway. On parallel, this year and precisely this month I've been jamming to the Arctic Monkeys vocalist, Alex Turner's EP "Submarine," which is basically a collection of sublime melodies and well accomplished songs.
Top 3 tracks:
No. 1 Party Anthem
R U Mine
Do I Wanna Know
#29. Smith Westerns - "Soft Will" (2013)
I decided to gave this album a try after loving their song "Idol", which reached the 1st spot on my weekly c/d. It was such a nice Indie rock record. I love its atmosphere.
Top 3 tracks:
White Oath
Glossed
Idol
#28. Garbage - "Not Your Kind Of People" (2012)
At the beginning of the year, I recall jamming to "Big Bright World", one of the singles from this album. Since I was looking for new albums (I think I got to listen to over 20 new album in January) Not You Kind Of People was one my picks. I like its rock and electronic sound here.
Top 3 tracks:
Not Your Kind Of People
Automatic Systematic Habit
Big Bright World
#27. Daft Punk - "Random Access Memories" (2013)
Daft Punk's RAM marks the French group's return to the dance and house music field. What a comeback I would say! This album is charged with lots of interesting artists featured and lots of danceable and well-produced tracks that brings us back to the disco era from the 70s but that still sounds fresh and modern. You'll most likely get hooked on this record as soon as the first track, Give Like Back To Music, makes its appearance.
Top 3 tracks:
Doin' It Right (feat Panda Bear)
Instant Crush (feat Julian Casablancas)
Give Live Back To Music
#26. Superchunk - "I Hate Music" (2013)
Let's have some power pop/rock music to get this set closed. Superchunk's appearance is no surprise as its songs contain lots of powerful riffs and very catchy melodies that makes us want to jump around and scream like crazy. I'm all for checking their previous stuff after realizing it was a band with a quite long trajectory. What's more surprising is the effective way they deliver some very short-length songs - see Me & You & Jackie Mittoo and Staying Home - that despite their length, rock like to other,
Top 3 tracks:
FOH
Low F
Me & You & Jackie Mittoo
Last close calls set is coming soon!
