probably the best reviewed album of 2012
It's a dope album, but received pretty much universal "good" acclaim. Lots of other albums were far more praised.
Personally I think it is top 10-15 of the year material but I'm not sure about classic.
what do you have ranked higher? It's probably my 3rd fav behind good kid m.A.A.D. City and Channel Orange
The Idler Wheel, Lonerism and Shields are also up there. I don't really care too much for Beach House or Bloom even though people seem to be in love with that album
anyone agree or disagree with this notion?
For me it went
1) Lonerism -- by a landslide
2 and 3) Tie between Bloom and Good Kid Maad City
4) A huge dropoff down to Chairlift's "Something"
5) The rest, including Twin Shadow, Frank Ocean, Grimes, and others. I would probably stick Cloud Nothings in the top 10 if I had to make out a whole list
Are you Mf Madprops on youtube? Seen a guy with an MF Doom avi on there commenting on a Lonerism song that said "it kind of scares me how good this band is"
