Top 5 Albums in 2010
Ordered chronologically by release:
Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles - Enter the Magical Mystery Chamber
A cappella tracks from Wu-Tang’s 36 Chambers and member solo work mashed up with Beatles and Beatles cover samples. The songs go from very well done to probably better than the original Wu-Tang. Like a spiritual sequel to Danger Mouse’s Grey Album. Arranged/produced by Tom Caruana.
Surfer Blood - Astro Coast
Indie rock that’s probably going to attract so many imitators that it will no longer be considered indie rock.
Beach House - Teen Dream
Indie pop. Chilling like a haunted house you’ve been in before. You know where the scares are but they still get you every time.
Holy Fuck - Latin
Electronic. You might find yourself waiting for the song to finish before you exit your parked car.
Riverdales - Tarantula
Punk rock is rarely this well written, mixed, and mastered. Best guitar tracks of the year, by far.
