albums of the decade - 5. TV on The Radio - Dear Science


5. TV on The Radio - Dear Science (2008)

Brings the funk. Talks about the state of the world. Does a whole lot of sheeeeeyit. I don't really wanna write about all these records anymore, I just wanna enjoy them but this list has been worth it. 'Dear Science' reminds me of Prince for the vocal ability and Radiohead for the innovation. I was first introduced to the band in 2002 with the debut 'Young Liars EP' and in 'Staring At The Sun' I immediately heard their gorgeous potential. Skip forward six years and they drop 'Dear Science,' the bands fourth and most melodious album. It may not be as progressive as 'Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes' or 'Return To Cookie Mountain' but it's that irresistible vibe that's made by influences HERE>>>>>>>>>> that seals the deal. I don't wanna write much more but there's only four to go now and it's been a whole lot of fun.
