Re: UPDATE : 31/08/08 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2008 So Far (With Competition)
Well that's not saying much. Of all the #1 acclaimed albums of the 00s (including Fleet Foxes so far this year)this is they lowest of all in my list. I'm sure whatever the #1 acclaimed album of 09 is will probably be better than TV on the Radio.

Tim i disagree acclaimed has Neon Bible #1 of 07 and Dear Science is a better quality album ... I had In Rainbows at #1 but I guess journalists needed to redeem themselves for not reviewing Funeral when it first hit.

I agree with you both about META-Critic. But their number 1 album is never legit, and I also don't believe they normally review compilations ... oh well ... also quick question is BON IVER considered 2008 release or will it be filed under its 2007 self release, just wondering.

Also keep in mind this chart is based on reviews, and acclaimed music's ratings are based on lists. Fleet Foxes got great reviews, but I don't think it's going to be on quite as many end of the year lists as stuff like TVOTR, Portishead, Bon Iver, etc.
The new Metallica is really good. It's weird, it's like they actually listened to all the fans who've been yelling at them since Load came out.

Excuse me for asking, but what is "Mega-Critic" exactly? At first, I thought it was some reviews-collecting site I hadn't heard of, so I searched for it on google and nothing came up.
