We're talking more about the albums that aren't really that popular yet seem to be thought of as the best thing since sliced bread by certain media. Just take this board for example, the most talked about (let's say the most popular) releases of the year were Favorite worst nightmare, Icky thump and In Rainbows. I'm focusing on Pitchfork's list right now, their number one album is Panda Bear, which got like 10 replies here. What about Battles (I think Mirrored got something as ridiculous as a 9.0 rating on Metacritic) or Animal Collective...? I mean, after being made to listen to those albums I was certainly wondering what the fu
ck people were on about...:\
