Funny, I think the exact opposite, I think this is the best start of the year in the past 5. We already have a classic (Merriwether) which is more than the entire last year spawned (save for maybe Bon Iver but to be fair, that one came out in 2007). There's also Antony, Franz, I ended up loving the White lies album, there's Marissa Nadler with the beautiful Little hells, Crystal Antlers with the awesome Tentacles, Fever ray with the very good selftitled, Handsome furs, Here we go magic, Malajube with another awesome album, Neko Case, the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs leaked...granted, we're talking about leaks mostly but really, this is shaping up to be a fantastic year...:\
