I'd say by the end of March/beginning of April last year, I had 10-15 albums that I was enthralled with, 10-15 albums that I probably could throw on a Year End list like the one below.
This year, I can't figure out what's going on. I suppose it's just the natural ebb and flow, but I only really like a handful of albums so far this year and of those few, only one approaches being flawless. And guess what? It was released in 2007. All Hour Cymbals by Yeasayer.
Other acceptable discs so far this year: Fuck Buttons, Bon Iver (also first released last year), The Dodos.
Shit better pick up soon.
