Idk who else would go there, tho. Bat For Lashes, Girls, or Antlers are up there for me, but I might just stick with Animal Collective. Edit - I'd also sub out NP for Ween's Quebec.

    I actually like the more classic, maybe even archaic sort of take on folk that the self-titled Fleet Foxes album had, as compared to Helplessness Blues. That's not to say I like it better, but it's a tough call. And I love them both for very different reasons. Plus, it seems a little unfair to look into the future and judge an AotY on that grounds. lol

    Wow man, I haven't thought of The Microphones in a looooong time. That was a fantastic album kind of in the same territory as The Books - The Lemon of Pink. Meanwhile, I just listened to that Rapture album literally yesterday. I agree I don't like it as much as I did as a twacked out teenager but liked it much in the same vain as Chk Chk Chk, Cut Copy, and all the other dancy bands at the time. Interpol over QotSA Songs for the Deaf is ridiculous. Enough on that. I would give Strawberry Jam AOTY long before Person Pitch. I like Panda, but I never understood the insanely high reviews back then. Fleet Foxes debut, I never stop listening to it. I never get tired of their albums or performances. And Merriweather is a no-brainer. Let the normies into the Animal Collective universe. Pretty good takes from the Meloness.

As much as Madvillainy calls into question the "album of the year" title, Funeral is worthy of at least A tier I think.

    Man, I can understand where you're coming from with some of your takes. Interpol's album, while having strong songwriting and good productions, is incredibly derivate of its influences. And there's certainly an argument to be made for Funeral not aging well, if only because indie music shifted away from that overproduction in the 2010s and the band themselves releasing some uninspired music in the past decade. Where you've lost me is your opinion on Person Pitch. I adore that album, the repetition, the hypnotic acid-trip effect of it. Different strokes for different folks I guess but the repetitious beats are part of what draws me into its hazy drug-induced atmosphere.

    I don't really have a definitive list for each year between 00-09, but I know that my pick for 2006 is easily Underoath's "Define the Great Line". Absolutely revolutionary post-hardcore/metalcore album. A lot of people prefer the sound of the previous album "They're Only Chasing Safety", but it's a way more basic pop-punk/post-hardcore project, Spencer's harsh vocals aren't nearly as refined, it's less experimental across the board. DtGL is the apex of their career, and a pivotal piece in the history of post-hardcore as a genre like Refused's "The Shape of Punk to Come" imo.

    ​@@p0werfu11I know it's a matter of taste, but calling them commercial pop punk when they've made songs like Mama and You Know What They do to guys like us in prison (as well as many other songs) is not only ridiculous, but objectively incorrect. Also I honestly can't see why anyone who doesn't like Three Cheers would enjoy Bullets when that album is much worse on every level.
