This album is the latest release from a dance punk band called Friendly Fires. This album is probably the best album to come out so far.
This is saying alot, especially coming from me being a big fan of alot of the bands that came out with albums this year. artists like the strokes, tv on the radio, beastie boys, Emmure, foo fighters, and sleeping with sirens also all came out with albums this year that were great.
so in a mid year review of sort, here is a list of the top albums of the year SO FAR.
1.Pala-Friendly Fires 2.Wasting Light-Foo Fighters 3.Angles-The Strokes 4.Zonoscope-Cut Copy 5.Nine Types of Light-TV on the Radio 6.Lets Cheers to This-Sleeping With Sirens 7.Helplessness Blues-Fleet Foxes 8.Hot Sauce Committee Part II-Beastie Boys 9.Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will-Mogwai 10.King of Limbs-Radiohead
Psssst. I would totally change your list into a top 12 by adding Ravedeath, 1972 by Tim Hecker as the #2 album and W H O K I L L by tune-yards as the #1. Listen to them both >_>
