Re: MEGA-CRITIC : 2009-EOY-TOP 150 COMBINED (Best Reviewed Albums Of 2009)

Thanks Stefan for yet another year of excellent updates and pretty much my main source for finding new music. That you spend your time making these impressive lists is greatly appreciated, but that you also spend your money on buying albums (and, presumably, fairly high shipping costs) is simply amazing. I should have participated in the competitions a little more often after my first two wins (thanks again, by the way) because participation is way too low in these things (free albums people, what's not to love?!).

So yeah, thanks!

Re: MEGA-CRITIC : 2009-EOY-TOP 150 COMBINED (Best Reviewed Albums Of 2009)

Surprised how low M. Ward is placing on the EOY lists (136th?!!) since it's the 17th best reviewed of the year.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC : 2009-EOY-TOP 150 COMBINED (Best Reviewed Albums Of 2009)

I hope Wilco (The Album) beats Sky Blue Sky (their last album) on the all time list. Sky Blue Sky was putrid, and Wilco should definitely be commended for ditching that sound.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC : 2009-EOY-TOP 150 COMBINED (Best Reviewed Albums Of 2009)

Thank you, STEFAN, for a year's worth of such excellent work.

Your forum posts are one of my favorite... uh... websites.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Re: MEGA-CRITIC : 2009-EOY-TOP 150 COMBINED (Best Reviewed Albums Of 2009)

Thank you for another great year of hard work! Here's to my favorite source of new music. Very glad about Raekwon and The Antlers getting into the top 10. Surprised about The XX, but I've been warming to that album lately.
