Re: UPDATE : 31/08/08 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2008 So Far (With Competition)

Neither will TV on the Radio. If Arcade Fire are going to have two #1 albums back to back TV on the Radio have a less likely chance of doing the same.

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.

Poor Vampire Weekend have already been passed off as old news. I hope they get some recognition during the year end lists.

That Fleet Foxes album is rellay wonderful
Looks like a lost gem from 1967-68


I agree, Nicolas!

Curious about that new entry from the senior Randy Newman.

And I wouldn't mind winning a CD of ... TV on the Radio.

In other words, Dear Science is my tip for September!

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.

Ah, forgive me. I spoke too quickly. Found the explanation thread for Mega-Critic. Nevermind.
