Oh my god you're right. That came out last year. I'm getting so confused. I checked to see if the Blueprint 3 came out this year and it came out in 09. It's ridiculous how fast time goes. Now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure sidewalks is the only one that came out this year

Yeah I didn't like Thursday as much, still pretty good though.

I do admit I like their single, but overall Torches was okay. Definitely not Top 15 material for me, maybe like Top 50.

Really good stuff. I just am not too big of a fan of Bon Iver and really really really not a big fan of Death Cab.

And yeah I know, it's really super hard, I had to throw out a bunch of albums I liked when I made mine. It's nearly impossible to rank.

That one had some really good songs but it was too hit and miss for me to call a best album of the year

You think? I thought it was absolutely outstanding. Some of the freshest hip-hop I've heard. As you can tell I'm pretty into "indie" stuff (though, I despise that word), but I can't wait to see him blow up.

He is just so amazing because he literally takes every good rapper's flows, mashes them together into one song, and then pulls it off sometimes better than the original rapper.
