Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I’m nervous to ask, but did you like or hate The Silencers?

I liked it on the first listen, it sounded almost familiar. Maybe they were the sort of band that got played occasionally but not enough to really stick in the memory at the time. It's very 80s, but in a good way :-) It's nice to discover bands that passed me by so thanks for the suggestion!

I'll blog about it once I've listened to it a couple of more times.

Now listening to Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective as my 2009 choice. I’ve only got as far as the third track, and am already confused by the random/irregular rhythm of the drum and bass components.

Played the whole album twice now. A bit too random and chaotic for me.

I'm done, after 18 months and 52 albums (cos that's what how old I are). I have blogged every review individually and have just blogged a summary for your pleasure, comparison and cross-referencing as ye see fit.

I've punted out another four blog posts, https://www.fetcheveryone.com/blog/36581, with my own favourite albums from every year 1966-2017 for anyone who is looking for some recommendations for their own LTAAFEYOYL challenge.

That's me done with blogs on the subject. No more music by the suckers.

Truly, a labour of love, Fitz. I've enjoyed reading the how, when and why of your selections.

Off to look for a 2013 choice now, having listened to

2010: High Violet by the National
2011: Burst Apart by the Antlers
2012: Lonerism by Tame Impala

The National and Antlers albums are both decent, but I don't find myself drawn back to them for repeat playings. Tame Impala is quite different though, and it's commanded quite a lot of repeat plays.
