Last Fair Deal Gone Down and Viva Emptiness are albums I like by Katatonia from the 2000's. But they are hardly my favorite Katatonia albums. And I am not a big fan of the last album. Though it's okay and I gave it a good review. So, they would be more of a 90's list artist for me too. Like The Gathering. Even though I still like them a bunch!

don't you like all three Witchcraft albums?
I have only heard two of them! (I've also only two Electric Six albums, for whatever that's worth.) But yeah, either of those bands might qualify if I heard all their stuff. (Though the two Electic Six albums I've heard, and the two Witchcraft albums I've heard, are still nowhere near as good as, say, the three Gore Gore Girls albums I've heard or the five Montgomery Gentry albums I've heard or the six Toby Keith albums I've heard this decade. Just being honest!) (Well, okay, maybe the first Electric Six one is. I need to pull back out their second one.)

And as far as Neurosis goes, a band i friggin' ADORE, they haven't made an album as good as A Sun That Never Sets since that album. Which was 2001. I've enjoyed the albums since, and the Jarboe collab, but they aren't as good. So, a case could be made that their strongest decade was the 90's too, depending on how much you like their earlier stuff. And there are plenty of people who will tell you that souls at zero or through silver in blood is as good as they got.

"5. Maudlin of the Well- Leaving Your Body Map"
definitely be on any comprehensive list i made of the decade. along with Bath. I kinda think of them as one entity anyway.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:17 (sixteen years ago) link
I think my favorite Neurosis album is State of Grace from 1999. And yeah, after A Sun that Never Sets, I really don't care about them very much. (And Isis have been even more boring lately.)
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:17 (sixteen years ago) link
Oops, Times of Grace, I meant.
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:18 (sixteen years ago) link
jane doe/you fail me/no heroes is another amazing 00's trio for me. Love all three a ton.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I never got Converge...at all, really.
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:21 (sixteen years ago) link
Wait, you know who else (though she's not metal) has made four good albums this decade (though I don't love love love any of them)? Pink! So she belongs up there, probably.
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:24 (sixteen years ago) link
did you hear No Heroes, chuck? there is stuff on there you might like.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Er...maybe? If I did, it didn't leave much of an impression. Maybe I'll check it out again sometime, though.
And Yolanda Perez has made three good ones (though I didn't like her most recent one at all.)
And then there's jazz people, though I'm definitely no expert --James Carter, Dave Douglas, David Ware, Jason Moran? Who else?

ooh, and i forgot the Most Valuable Playaz Soundtrack. that belongs on my list. that's a whole bunch of people; tnt, e-vicious, too short, pimp c, lil buddah, al kapone, shuga shaft, b-legit, etc, etc.

"What happened to the people who liked pop music? Where have they gone?"
i was just listing albums that i own. if i listed all the SONGS i liked in the last 8 years i'd really be here forever. cuz i don't own any kelly clarkson CDs. as much as i love her. or as much as i love beyonce or britney. and i love them a ton too.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:37 (sixteen years ago) link
same with country. i've loved at least a zillion country songs in the last near-decade, but i don't own the albums.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:38 (sixteen years ago) link
there's some pop on my list. no country or metal tho.
― blueski, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:39 (sixteen years ago) link
unless white stripes really are country metal. but i should've put elephant and wbc.
― blueski, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link
since u been gone by kelly might be my fave rock/pop song of the decade.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link
come to think of it, maybe Beyonce is the artist of the decade. I love everything she's done. Either Beyonce or Ulver. It's a toss-up.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Okay, then what pop people have made three albums I like this decade?
1. I already mentioned Pink. She wins, I think. Which I would not have expected. 2. Britney probably deserves to be on the list, but I only have two albums by her on my shelf. 3. Justin, if *NSync's Greatest Hits counts. 4. Wait, I just remembered Leann Rimes! But she's country, allegedly. 5. Ashlee, when her next album (which I've heard about half of, and liked) comes out. 6. Um....

1. jay reatard - blood visions 2. deerhoof - reveille 3. blonde redhead - melody of certain damaged lemons 4. jay-z - the black album 5. fennesz, vainio & zanési - GRM experience 6. the fall - the real new fall LP 7. keith fullerton whitman - playthroughs 8. comets on fire - blue cathedral 9.

Yuh I rilly like Deerhoof's Reveille.
― W4LTER, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:45 (sixteen years ago) link
fave Deerhooff album.
― W4LTER, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:46 (sixteen years ago) link
I do not love Beyonce. At all. Obviously, I suck.
Well, I guess I like her more than I like Converge. Destiny's Child's #1s is a good album.

i dont even really like much of anything on that list but it's better than another list with arcade fire and interpol on it
That's the type of stuff you like tho i thought.
― W4LTER, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Arcade Fire etc?
What was that tai chi album Lou Reed put out last year? Because that should be on any list.

i like indie (not arcade fire) (interpol yeah) just saying all the other lists are like rote indie albums that aren't really that good or like house albums i've never heard of
6335's list is interesting as far as just listing albums goes is all
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:51 (sixteen years ago) link
xp to walter
yeah sure. But 6335's list is fairly rote indie i think.
― W4LTER, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:53 (sixteen years ago) link
"all the other lists are like rote indie albums that aren't really that good or like house albums i've never heard of"
um, mine isn't like that at all.

and where's the pop? i've got friggin' t.a.t.u. and the friggin' bring it on soundtrack on my list. both of which still rule.

bring it on soundtrack
I didn't notice this! Yeah, probably easily in my top 50 of the decade. Maybe even 40. Or 30. Or....?
T.A.T.U. have two really good '00s albums, too.
Daphne and Celeste have one great one! Then they fell off the face of the earth.
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 01:04 (sixteen years ago) link
I think Damone's Out Here All Night might be my favorite album of the decade, weirdly enough. At least, that's the one that comes to mind instantly.
― Jeff Treppel, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 01:05 (sixteen years ago) link
ftr since i've been talking a lot of shit in this thread my favorite album of the decade is tha carter II with is this it? coming up 2nd and after that i don't even really know
