I kind of wish that they didn't finish with the best two songs right away. That's kind of the flaw with Girls' Album, too.

Still makes my cutoff for my top thirty one, which is a B+ (think equivalent to 8.0-8.3 on Pitchfork or an A- to Christgau).

I've called it the best since Exile On Main St. This is basically heresy, but don't get the wrong idea.

Man, Yeah Yeah Yeahs would suck without Sitek. We all know it.

Money for music? Foreign concept.

Hey, A Bigger Bang ruled. It might not be very relevant, but it was certainly excellent.

Progressive music is musically degenerative.

That's because it fucking sucks and you know it.

At least be familiar enough to dismiss it, man.

Did you really just complain about no Muse?

I will make certain that I will never lose my edge. This cannot happen to me. Ever.

You're losing your edge.
The kids are coming up from behind.

Not to MENTION his inclusion of The Fray.

Nothing will ever make up for that.
