Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

Thank you. I didn't even know Ry Cooder released an album last year.

I am currently listening to "Antony and the Johnstons - I am a bird now". It won the Mercury award. I like it a lot.

I'm on board with the albums by The New Pornographers, Spoon, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

I don't enjoy Surfjan Stevens as much as I think I'm supposed to. Am I the only one?

I just don't get the amount of hype surrounding the album.

Just random thoughts that go thru my head as I read thru this list:

Arular is AWESOME. I'm glad MIA's starting to do well in the club scene.
Deerhoof is a little too high for me.
The Go! Team album was from 2004.
Twin Cinema is nowhere near high enough for me.
WTF is System of a Down doing here???
Wasn't Gimme Fiction 2004 too? Seems like I've had that album for over a year...
Where's The National?
Where's Architecture in Helenski?
Where's Broken Social?
Where's Common?
I wish Grime/Garage would start getting more hype. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] There's been some awesome albums out of that genre this year.

GoT

It leaked early, although not THAT early. Released late May I believe.
