Okay, the new Sunset Rubdown is terrible but I hated the first one too.

The new Animal Collective is very very good, and I didn't like any of their previous albums.

I think this year is gonna have a top 10 of:

Of Montreal
Fiery Furnaces
Battles
LCD Soundsysyem
Architecture in Helsinki
Spoon
Animal Collective
New Pornographers
Arcade Fire
The Field
Menomena

Caveats: Don't particularly like The National or Frog Eyes.

I liked the Panda Bear album better than Strawberry Jam.

I'd put Klaxons on that list somewhere too.
