Top 100 of 2010: #5

I'll start off by saying that the top 5 was ridiculously hard to order. I've enjoyed all 5 albums immensly but at the end of the day, only one can be my number one! /cheeeeese

So, I decided with much remorse, that my 5th favourite album of the year is...

5. LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening

I'm disappointed because it has some of the best music he's ever released, and it's such a sad feeling to know that he probably wont tour or release a full album ever again. Drunk Girls is like if Bowie decided to do some Dance-Punk songs, and it's packed with some great moments - I Can Change (a playful little dance track that has synths to tie you up in a knot), One Touch (sounds like Matthew Dear came along for the ride) and the fabulous Home. But one track stands-out miles from the crowd for me; in fact, it's my favourite song of 2010 - Dance Yrself Clean. It starts off quiet enough, building up some steam as it goes along, and by this point (the first time I heard it that is) I thought I wouldn't hang around much, but then those synths are so...I can't quite put my words on it, but it goes crazy, like The Knife just tagged along or something. It's a brilliant song, and recently awarded the title of Atease Web forum's best song of 2010 - nice one!
