Never ceases to amaze me how varied opinions are on an indie board. For instance: BSP, maybe in my top ten of all time, and yet some hate it (I bought mine in the middle of '03 though, so not sure what we're talkin' about). Fiery Furnaces... come on! unless you are a pitchfork wannabe, this is just plain graphic art best viewed via blindfold. Antics settled with me better than turn on the bright lights. Yes it is more poppy, but in a good way. Modest mouse was selling out without going all the way to hades for it. It allowed people like myself who never gave MM a chance before to listen... and like it. I think Franz is a good album but overrated. Same with Arcade Fire, but then how can anything reach that bar many have set. TV on the radio does something for me. Stellastarr as well. Yeah Yeah Yeahs I put up there. The worst: Atomic Bomb, but hey... it's U2, so it's still worth another ticket to another show this spring.
