I must have some crystal ball or something. The Walkmen didn't make the list and NME gave Lisbon a 9 and hell whatta an album it is! I really like the first three tracks and the whole bunch is worthy of critical acclaim and EOY material.
Well, the songs list looks better than the albums one. Tightrope is top 3 of the year for sure, and We Used to Wait and Drunk Girls are both top 15 deserving picks. I just don't get why Stylo is considered the best track out of Plastic Beach. Rhinestone Eyes does much more for me.
i really can't take my eyes off of NME lists, there's always a rhino bazaaa hidden among all that rotten teeethy hippo swamp dung... so hooray for tedious brit cunt list squirts...
