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 fuck people were on about...:\
I have'nt heard Panda Bear, Battles or Animal Collective. I can only go on what I've heard. I think we can sometimes mix over rated with underwhelmed.
