Agreed. Although I love Sound of Silver, I didn't think it was the best album of the year.... I think it's rather ungrateful to deem an album overrated. There's obviously no accounting for taste, for instance, I thought Kala was absolute rubbish that never should have left the demo scene, you and a few others appear to like it....a lot...I assume it's the same with the likes of Animal Collective (which I didn't care for), Panda Bear (which I thought was great)...add Liars (average to me, yet people seem to come over their last two albums), The National's Boxer (sorry, ain't no way in hell it's better than Aligator), Sally Shapiro (which released some forgettable italo disco yet it made it to Pitchfork's top 50), Dirty Projectors (cannot stand the vocals, but I guess they're odd enough to catch the eye of hyper indie asses), Black Lips and King Khan and the Shrines...(both average and forgettable garage rock)...yet, correct me if I'm wrong, Arctic Monkeys and The Shins do not appear on the list even though, objectively (or as far music
can be objectively assessed), they are better albums than the last couple of mentioned. So a couple of those like minded people get jobs at the most prominent music magazines, and you get a hype machine...whatever. I'm thankful they're out there bringing the new music to our attention, we can take it from there...
