Albums discovered in 2010
 70  7.9 Perhaps too long but lots of funky fun here.

42 8.3 The Brazilian "Sgt. Pepper's". Sorta great.

1 7 Tuomari Nurmio style folk rock with twisted, humouristic lyrics. Love those bombastic drums on some tracks.
blue_skies's rating:
20 8.3 Pretty good stuff.
296 8.3 At least the first disc was pretty good.
blue_skies's rating:
7 9.1 "Black Lake Nidstång" is pretty awesome, I can already tell you this.

143 8.1 Highlights on the first listening: "Subterranean Homesick Alien", "Gates of Eden" and "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream". The latest especially, I love Dylan's funny tracks.

52 8.2 Got the 2009 re-master (English).
Doesn't quite reach the synthetic beauty and groove of "Trans-Europe Express" but it's still a brilliant robot synth pop record with classics like "The Robots", "The Model" and "Neon Lights" on it. blue_skies's rating:
66 7.2 At first I thought this was boring but it either improved towards the end or I started warming up for it. Especially the last two songs, "Ballad in Plain D" and "It Ain't Me Babe", are some excellently written love songs.

85 7.7 Nothing really stuck into my mind on the first listen. Except for the title track which I'd already discovered to be fantastic.

170 8.1 He could spare the harmonica a little but yeah. "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" is fantastic.
blue_skies's rating:
61 7 Got the "original mono recordings" box set which I'm going to listen to in chronological order.
This wasn't as bad or mediocre as I expected: simple acoustic folky and bluesy tunes greatly mixed. 
4 7.8 A fast and energetic EP of 10 minutes, not as pop as their later stuff.

34 8.2 Some thick atmosphere!
"Ghost Hardware" and "Archangel" are gorgeous. blue_skies's rating:
127 7.4 "Flashing Lights" is fantastic but mostly this is a bore. He really DID improve on this style on his latest album.

22 8 Otherworldly, original, dreamy, fantastic, mindfuck.
blue_skies's rating:
2 6 Once again, the first couple of songs are great but then it gets boring.
blue_skies's rating:
78 8.1 Some pretty damn fine songs here, seems great. Gotta give it more spins.
blue_skies's rating:
88 7.9 Somehow hadn't heard this until now. I've always felt that Sigur Rós is too "polished" for my taste and thus a bit boring and that impression stays still. Although I gotta say that "Staralfur" and "Olsen Olsen" are fantastic examples of modern songwriting.
I'm sure it'll grow on me. blue_skies's rating:
60 8.1 My second The National acquisition. Not sure yet how much I like it; it sounds pleasant and all but not as good as High Violet, yet. "Secret Meeting" and "Karen" are cool songs.
blue_skies's rating:
6 7 Noise pop / shoegaze stuff from the early '90s.

5 7.3 Nice music for.. twilight.
Sleepy atmosphere, diggin' it. blue_skies's rating:
1 6 Half's kinda boring, half's kinda good.
blue_skies's rating:
31 9.1 Finally got a hold of this. Can't say anything about it yet except that Heaven and Hell fucking rules.
blue_skies's rating:
8 8.8 Something really impressive about a debut album such as this but I'm not totally feeling it. Yet.
blue_skies's rating:
25 7.5 wtf again
Weird album, most of it sounded like random bleeping and blooping but I feel there's something wonderful hidden in this monster. The last track is quite a ride. blue_skies's rating:
4 7.7 meh
EDIT: OK, certainly better on second listening. The A-side is fine but the B-side is kinda boring. blue_skies's rating:
4 6.8 Pretty good for a Finnish hip hop album. The title track is great.
blue_skies's rating:
10 7.6 Wow, this is pretty damn good from the 65-year-Young (heh). The overuse of delayed vocals irritates me a little but the distorted guitars sound crunchy in a great way.
blue_skies's rating:
3 8 "Done Got Old" is one hell of a first track. I expected the whole album to be of its awesomely minimalistic, melancholy style so I was a little disappointed. Pretty good stuff though.
2 7 Well, couldn't think of a more descriptive title for this. FUNKY FUNKY FUNKEEH
5 7.7 Badass album of badass electric blues songs.
ONE MOH! AAAAAONE MOOH! 
13 9.3 Some of the most life-affirming pop music I've heard. "San Vicente" is becoming one of my favorite songs of all time.
2 6 A 1968 record of Cream-esque psychedelic rock from San Francisco.

34 7.7 "Player's Ball" is great, can't say anything about the others yet.
blue_skies's rating:
12 8.7 Another record I used as a soundtrack for Hitman: Blood Money.
Perfect atmosphere for the game, don't know how much I can enjoy it on its own. 
11 8 Big L was mad with the rhymes and rhythmically great too.
I flows, so one of my shows, wouldn't be clever to miss I'm leavin competitors pissed To tell you the truth, it gets no better than this Sheeeeeeeiiit... blue_skies's rating:
8 8.6 Fantastic folk album by a promising Swedish singer/songwriter, Kristian Matsson.
"I Won't Be Found" is one of the best examples of great folk songwriting. blue_skies's rating:
68 6.9 Not a big fan of his '70s stuff but this seems a cool album. It has better (and funner) songs than Closing Time and some entertaining tales to the lyrics.
Maybe I should drink more in order to appreciate this bar blues period more. blue_skies's rating:
7 7.8 Her first album. Has some pretty good songs like the opening three: the pretty "Linnuton puu", the radio hit "C'est la vie" and Duffy-esque "Melankolian riemut".
blue_skies's rating:
46 7.5 "Ever Fallen in Love" is one of those songs that one can't help stupidly dancing to. That and "Orgasm Addict" made me buy this record.
blue_skies's rating:
58 8.9 Something charming about this lo-finess.
