It's just so flimsy at the start.
I hope you're not referring to the wonderful "Earthquake".

No, more tracks like Sailing do very little for me indeed.

Personally, I find the middle run is super strong and the closing track gorgeous. The rest I can take or leave. Bit of a shame.

And yes Harold: give me an albums worth of tracks like Nothing Ever Happened, Twilight At Carbon Lake, Never Stops, Desire Lines, Helicopter, Saved By Old Times etc and it'd be mindblowingly good.

Maybe I need to check out the allegedly visceral sounds of Cryptograms. I'm listening to Logos now for the first time, and liking it, but it does seem like Cox is moving away from the propulsive rhythms and captivating hooks that make half of Deerhunter's output so damn strong.

I find it a tad incredulous that Halcyon Digest can leapfrog the likes of Big Boi and The National. It's just so flimsy at the start.


I find it a tad incredible that you don't know what "incredulous" means.

Yeah good point, haha

It's pretty obvious which album is going to be the highest new entry, so it's really a matter of guessing position.

Are we talking about the gentleman whose last name is a color (out today), or the one whose last name is a geographical direction (out closer to the end of the month)?

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

I was talking about the latter, but now that you mention it, the former also has a shot.

Though I'd bet on Kanye doing better in the EU camp.

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

I wouldn't give up on the Kid that quick. I think he has a shot too

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

I'm saying Yeezy no.1 with a bullet.

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

West at 4.

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

Cee-Lo Green at #8.

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

Kanye West at 2.

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

Kanye West goes straight to number 1

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

I'll just go with Kanye at 10.

That Kanye does well in the US third is clear. How well he does in the UK and EU two thirds is not.

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

Kanye at number 7. Sounds about right.

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

Kanye at 6.

Just a random punt.

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

I think I posted something like Kanye at 12 a couple of days ago.

No way that's going to happen though...

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

# 22 Shakira - Sale el sol

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

Kanye West! number 3. eventually to number 1 but 3 for now

Re: 01/11/2010 : MEGA-CRITIC : Best Reviewed Albums Of 2010 So Far (With Competition)

I think I said Kanye at 12 somewhere else.

No chance, but well...
