Back to 2010 (Re-Ranking the Best of Lists) • Page 4

Forgot about Alexisonfire and The Felix Culpa. The latter's album felt big in the ap.net forums at the time.

 

Transit and Conditions were both records I enjoyed

 

shoutout me and kemichaels

Love me some number one gun

 

I really like Number One Gun but my opinion soured a bit after their Kickstarter issues with the subsequent release. Seemed like a bunch of bands had overly ambitious crowd-funded projects around then

 

I’m not very aware of the circumstances to be honest. His name is Jeff, correct?

 

Yeah - Jeff Schneeweis. It took him over 3 and a half years to send any of the physical items in the kickstarter tiers for his follow-up album. If I remember correctly, the digital album came out in 2013 but the rewards for t-shirts, dvds, cds, etc. didn't actually start showing up to people until 2016. He would post an apology every so often but I think some fans started to threaten legal action after a while. It seemed like a huge mess all around. I think I contributed on a lower tier but I guess that's always the risk with crowd-funding.

 

Seems like it was enough of a circumstance for him to stop recording. Damn.

 

there's a lot that was never fulfilled, scroll through the comments

Number One Gun - This Is All We Know

 

Apparently he goes under Lael now after a couple of eps under his god given.

 

Just reminded myself of "Lowcountry" by Envy On The Coast yesterday, it's been 10 years as well. I really enjoyed the album and had it in my car for a long long time!

 

Record was so badass

 

I thoroughly enjoyed 2010;

1. Circa Survive - Blue Sky Noise
2. The Chariot - Long Live
3. Norma Jean - Meridional
4. Of Mice & Men - self titled
5. Sleigh Bells - Treats
6. Tides of Man - Dreamhouse
7. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross - The Social Network
8. Underoath – Ø (Disambiguation)
9. Vampire Weekend - Contra
10. Chiodos - Illuminaudio
11. Dark Time Sunshine - Vessel
12. Deftones - Diamond Eyes
13. The Devil Wears Prada - Zombie EP
14. Envy on the Coast - Lowcountry
15. Greeley Estates - No Rain, No Rainbow
16. Listener - Wooden Heart
17. The Naked and Famous - Passive Me, Aggressive You
18. The National - High Violet
19. Pianos become the Teeth - Old Pride
20. The Black Keys - Brothers

some fantastic records, most of which I still listen to regularly.

 

Just remembered about Oceana - Clean Head EP.

 

oh yeah, it was a big surprise and probably their only release I really enjoyed for a long time! Nice turn for the better, at least in my eyes, seeing as I absolutely love Polyenso!
