Introducing...
Every Sunday I'll be doing some sort of top 5 list. I could not think of some sort of clever alliteration between "Sunday" and "lists," so it will be called the Sunday 5x, unless you or I can come up with something better. With that all said, here is the first Sunday 5x!

My 5 Favorite Albums of the 2000's (Part 2)
Pretentious people sometimes say, "I love their old stuff. They're not the same anymore." I do this with Modest Mouse. I can't help it, though, because it's completely true. No longer do they release albums like The Moon & Antarctica, a record filled to the brim with emotion. Issac Brock, the lead singer and song-writer of Modest Mouse, starts it all off with "3rd Planet" which probably has some of the best lyrics I've ever heard. It doesn't stop there; "I Came as a Rat" and "Life Like Weeds" hits you with more. The Moon & Antarctica is the last amazing album that Modest Mouse released, and it is highly recommended that you listen to it. Oh, by the way, the title is a reference to Blade Runner, one of my favorite films. How great is that?

My 5 Favorite Albums of the 2000's (Part 1)
I'd like to tell you specifically what I love. So, with that in mind, every week I'm simply going to post my five favorite of the following: films, television shows, albums, and books. I intend to do this for every decade so get ready. Now, for the actual show!
1. Unconditional Acceleration, Nullsleep
One could merely state that Unconditional Acceleration is a series of beeps and boops, and they would not be incorrect. However, I could also say that Monet's artwork is a collection of dots and still be right. UA, with its 5 song composition, is light-years ahead (Pokemon reference!) of most 8-bit albums out now. It begins with the inspirational first notes of "Fearless Flight" and hypnotizes its way from there. Nullsleep's romantic overtones are emphasized especially in "Salvation for a Broken Heart" which allows us to come across the same feeling we got when talking to our high-school crush. It's a jumpy song, but so cleverly organized that it's impossible to not bob your head or tap your foot. Just go listen to "Galaxy Tonite" whether or not you're an 8-bit fan. You'll feel happier 30 seconds in. I'm not going to even attempt to continue reviewing such a potent album; coincidentally, it'd be a lot like explaining love.
