Albums That Met (Or Exceeded) Your Lofty Expectations
Our friends at AbsolutePunk posted a great Thursday discussion yesterday on albums that met or exceeded the lofty expectations we as fans had for them. We wanted to get in on some of the action today, so I wrote up some albums that met or exceeded my expectations and I’m hoping you’ll let us know what albums fit that criteria for you. Check out the list below and feel free to reblog this post or comment in the AP.net thread!
blink-182 - Neighborhoods
But, it sounds like Angels & Airwaves.
blink-182 is my favorite band. There’s no question about it. I’ve never looked more forward to an album in my life than Neighborhoods. From the day the band broke up to the day they walked on stage at the Grammy’s, I always dreamed of another album. What did I expect from the follow-up to Untitled (my favorite blink record)? I expected a mix of songs on the band’s last album like “I’m Lost Without You,” “Always,” and “Not Now” and both hints of Angels & Airwaves and +44. I got exactly what I expected. I don’t view it as the band’s best release, but in a catalog of near perfect albums, it fits right in.
The Wonder Years - Suburbia I’ve Given You All And Now I’m Nothing
Whether or not you’re a fan of the band, the album, or style of music, most of our community was taken aback by the release of The Upsides in 2010. It made countless pop-punk fans excited about the genre again and catapulted a once small band to new found fame amongst a small scene. Many expected Suburbia to be their album of the year once again just 18 months following the release of The Upsides, and it did not fail to impress. The album showcases a leap in musicianship, production, and still maintains the powerful and witty lyrics that fans love about the band. The question is, what will the band do next?
Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me
Nearly every Brand New fan is able to recall the time that Deja Entendu changed their lives in some shape or form. Your Favorite Weapon is incredible on its own, but the band managed to follow the record up with a crowning achievement in Deja. So once again, how could the band follow-up such a masterpiece? Heavily debated or not, I believe that there is no doubt in The Devil And God being the band’s best and most meaningful work. To this day I am still surprised at how large of a leap was taken and how incredible the record is.
