Swans and Avi Buffalo. Still have my address?
Sufjan Stevens #10
Not sure about picking Sufjan yet. I'm pretty sure it won't "bomb" inside the chart like MAYA or MGMT, but since three out of the 4 reviews i read were mixed, i still need some time to see where this is going.
I'm very surprised that Grinderman 2 didn't make it to the list proper. It has a high score on both metacritic and the superior anydecentmusic.com, and I think it's very good. Odd.
didn't the Walkmen have a well received album this year? Looked like it was going to be their best reviewed album to date.
Sean Pak : Grinderman are currently # 016 in the UK, # 045 in the US (only 4 sources reviewed it yet) and # 126 in EU (with some horrible scores, as a 040/100 from Scandinavia and a 050/100 from Belgium.
Tim E : The Walkmen are currently # 069 in the US (with a 050/100 from Rolling Stone and a 060/100 from Tinymixtapes) and have been reviewed yet only from one source outside the US.
