Album of the Year Nominee #1
This artist collective really came in under the radar this year, but I luckily saw one of their ads while watching A&E at about 4 in the morning. Their post ironic/grindnoise/queercore sound might put some people off initially, but it really is the feelgood album of the year. The uplifting sounds really seem to be speaking to the listener. I imagine it will round out most critic's top 10 lists for 2008.
