ScatterPoints #3: Mid/Late Novemberish

Here is a breif recap of the past weeks in the world of MidPoints music...


MUSIC VIDEOS:

Passion Pit - Little Secrets
Any music video with bright colors and journeys through space is a winner in my book. Way to make it happen, Passion Pit. Unfortunately, the embed feature is locked on this video, but it's definitely worth checking out. Watch the HD "Little Secrets" video on YouTube.


One Sentence Reviews:

The xx - xx
Rating: 92/100

Dark, sexy and simple, The xx's debut album is one of the most finely crafted indie-pop records of the year and it proves that minimalism can still be both stunningly complex and dramatically infectious.

High Point Tracks: "Heart Skipped A Beat", "Crystalised"


Monsters of Folk - Monsters of Folk
Rating: 82/100

Like most super-groups, the more you enjoy the collected of works of Bright Eyes, My Morning Jacket and M. Ward, the more you will enjoy the Monsters of Folk's eclectic and satisfying debut album.

High Point Tracks: "Say Please", "Slow Down Jo"

Michael Jackson - Dangerous
Rating: 76/100

The most surprising and condemning aspect of Dangerous is the fact that it is by far his most dated sounding album, though the stand out tracks are as good as anything the King of Pop has ever released.

High Point Tracks: "Black or White", "Will You Be There"
