Pete Biasi of Double Bird: Favorite Albums of the Decade

Madvillain Madvillainy: I love everything about this record; an aurally dense and intense piece of music, and a document of two well-practiced craftsmen operating at the top of their game. This album will blow minds forever. [Purchase]

Hot Snakes Automatic Midnight: Here’s how you make a record that I will still trip about in 10 years: have John Reis write 10 no-shit, pure fucking rock and roll jams, make Rick Froberg sing over them, and sprinkle mind-bogglingly low bass drops throughout the songs. Done and done. [Purchase]

T Wehrle Howler: This album contains of some of the most beautiful, haunting, and catchy songs I’ve ever heard. If even one person checks it out because I put it on this list, then I have changed someone’s life for the better. Isn’t that what online magazine favorite-records-of-the-decade lists are all about? [Purchase]

Tragedy Vengeance: This album, much like this decade, will always be synonymous in my mind with a sense of impending doom and a loss of faith in mankind’s ability to not destroy itself. It is a brutal, bleak, heavy piece of work, born out of a brutal, bleak, and heavy state of affairs. [Purchase]

Clipse Hell Hath No Fury: I enjoy the Neptunes’ beats. I enjoy well-spun tales of selling drugs and partying on yachts and trying to find the “bluest” shoes to buy with your giant piles of drug money. I think we’re done here. [Purchase]
