I listened to The Monitor by Titus Andronicus earlier this week. All I can say is that it easily blows the hell out of any other album Ive heard this year. How about you?
Favorite album of 2010 so far?
Lil Wayne's new album..............................................................................................................................................hahahahahaha GOTCHA. No but seriously, that shit is horrible.
Apparently later this year will see the release of a 20th Anniversary Edition of Cowboys From Hell. No matter what other albums are released this year, that will probably be my album of 2010.
I've followed these guys since they started, and they have always delivered an incredible album. This time around, they have a new guitarist who can shred pretty damn well and adds another layer to their music. Yogi's drumming on this album fits perfectly into everything. Both Ryan's clean vocals and growls are incredibly heartfelt and powerful. There is a lot of ground covered in this album, from ballads like "Driving Nails" to their typical core-style like "Shallow Water" to mosh stomp anthems like "Lifewar", and the title track is fast and brutal.
In short, I'm still partial to The Triptych and Storm The Gates of Hell, but The World is a Thorn is an incredibly powerful record that I'll be spinning for a long time this year.
Here's two of my favorite tracks on the album:
" @Ghost_of_Perdition: I think it says "war" not "world" "Heh. I guess it does. Studying for finals is making me see things.
" None yet, but I safe bet would be Deftones' "Diamond Eyes" which is out in a couple of months... "Damn, I haven't been following them very closely and didn't even realize they were releasing a new album...
On topic: The only album I think I've listened to this year is Plastic Beach...it's a pretty cool album.
I'm actually looking forward to Mystikal's album (assuming he releases one this year) which might seem way out in left field, but I have some varied tastes lol
A lot of people are saying Gorillaz' Plastic Beach. While I think it's a good album, it doesn't feel like Gorillaz to me. I just don't see any of the personalities on that album. Maybe it's just me. Then again, I think I care more about Hewlett's excellent animation work with Gorillaz than I do about the music.

I figure most Deftones fans would have seen the new video for Rocket skates but if you haven't, here it is" @RhombusOfTerror said:

"Literally got it minutes ago, will give it a listen tomorrow and post thoughts perhaps. My favorite so far? Local Native's Gorilla Manor. AMAZING. So stoked to see them at Coachella!

I read the thread title, and was like "Oh, definitely The Monitor by Titus Andronicus."
Then I clicked it and that was the topic post. CRAZY. Yeah, just discovered it from another artist's blog post, they recommended it. I'm going to see them live on the 30th, gonna be awesome.

agreed, the personality is missing!
Plastic Beach by the Gorillaz currently, although the new Foxy Shazam has been getting a ton of play on my ipod the past week.
Best of 2010 so far.....
Most anticipated album....
I'm a Deftones fan as well. Pretty excited for Diamond Eyes.
As much as I would LOVE to say LOVE By Angels and Airwaves has been my favorite album of 2010 it just isn't that great.
But my favorite album of 2010 has to be Enemy Of The World by Four Year Strong
