A top five.

Heavy, intelligent, and honest.

How do you guys feel about Beach House's pre-"Teen Dream" stuff?

I like Devotion but less than TD/Bloom. I really never could get into the first album.

Do you prefer Teen Dream or Bloom?

Bloom, no doubt

I don't think there's a huge divide, but I do prefer Bloom.

There's not really a dud on either record--both play through beautifully from start to finish. The songs on "Bloom" feel more distinctly crafted, though, while losing none of the atmospherics, which I would agree gives it the slight but definite edge.

I had a similar reaction to "Devotion" too--I didn't give it a terribly attentive listen, but it definitely seems like they're one of those groups whose recordings improve as their recording capacity improves. I'll have to check it out again.

I just discovered this band today, and this album is already a contender:

Kowloon Walled City is a band that, theoretically, i should be really into. I love their aesthetic and they play the kind of music that comprises like half of my daily listening. Yet for reasons that i can't pin down, i just kinda feel bored whenever i listen to them.

Message to Bears - Folding Leaves is probably my fave so far. Admiral Fallow - Tree Bursts in Snow is also very enjoyable.

If you liked this try his 2010 album "The Wild Hunt" and its accompanying EP "Sometimes the Blues is Just a Passing Bird." That's his best stuff to my ears.

Am I the only one who likes the David Byrne/St. Vincent record??

Kinda shocked that Frank Ocean's Channel Orange hasn't been mentioned.

I went to this show and still forgot this. Thought it came out in 2011.

Might be a case of everybody liked it, nobody took it to prom. It's a good record.
