RE: Leviathan

*gasp*

Only 9/10?

I thought you weren't a big fan of Leviathan. Am I wrong? Their best is Blood Mountain and I haven't listened to that this year yet.

I love Leviathan, I just think that Blood Mountain is better.

So wait... Do you have the score higher or lower than a 9/10?

My scale goes all the way to 10 and Leviathan hits that mark imo. Is 9/10 your highest score?

I don't have a 10/10. In all honesty I don't believe their exists a perfect album, I haven't heard one yet at least. 9.8/10 is the highest score I have given to an album. That belongs to The Strokes' debut.
