A cool website
Howdy again,
I get alot of my musical ideas from metacritic.com. I've told a few of you about it before.
Basically it's a site that compiles reviews of albums and then posts them all giving an average score out of 100 based on the reviews.
The site is: http://www.metacritic.com/music/
It's pretty cool right now because they have posted all the year end top 10 album lists from music websites and magazines, i.e. Q, Uncut, New York Times, etc. They cover both British and North American reviews so you get the view from both sides of the pond.
"But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry"

What's with the Brian Wilson album? Why is it on everyone's lists? I remember briefly hearing about it when it came out, but there wasn't mearly enough spectacle to justify all the #1s it's getting.
Alan, you'll have to give a full report.
The Brian Wilson album is the album he started to make after Pet Sounds before he went crazy. When he started making it he kept tinkering with it in the search for perfection but was never satisified with it.
"Smile" is the finished album and it is an densely layered album with an amazing amount of sounds and voices on top of each other. It's a very musically dense album and I think it's going to take alot of listens to fully get it. I really need to give it some seriour headphone time.
The problem is, it's a total summer album and so I am having trouble listening to it in the snow.
Maybe I'll turn the heat up one day.
