10. Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty
-So wait, was he the reason I liked Outkast? (I guess so.)
9. Curren$y - Pilot Talk
-fantastic lyrics, fantastic sounds... (and I thought I was too old for hip-hop.)
8. Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today
-makes me feel dirty (it's the feeling I got from listening to the Strokes a decade ago.)
7. Of Montreal - False Priest
-toned down a bit from Skeletal Lamping (and that's a very good thing.)
6. Vampire Weekend - Contra
-sophomore slump? (no.)
5. Blitzen Trapper - Destroyer of the Void
-southern prog-rock (for people that hate southern rock and prog-rock.)
4.Belle and Sebastian - Write About Love
-my expectations were out of control for this album (and they almost met them.)
3. Local Natives - Gorilla Manor
-this might not make sense but they sound like a comfy chair (that I've sat in a thousand times.)
2. Black Keys - Brothers
-Put it on when you're having a party, put it on when you're by yourself (this translates well for any audience.)
1. The Arcade Fire - Suburbs
-Somehow they did it again, and I'm not even an Arcade Fire fanboy... (they just nailed it.)
