I don't mean to act like a music snob, and I can mostly understand why people liked them, but I thought Arcade Fire was ok, but boring. LCD Soundsystem sounded like he just gave up (and acted like it too when I saw him at Webster Hall, completely drunk [him, not me]), I love Girl Talk but thought the new one was really weak. I LOVE LOVE LOVE MGMT's new album though...it was fantastic and I'd rated it #11 in my larger list. I also loved The National's, but was really wanting something more...the songs I like I love, but others are totally skippable and The National should never have a skippable song...it was just a step down from Alligator and Boxer in my opinion. Also, Vampire Weekend's Contra was horrific. Belle & Sebastian's "Write About Love" was good, but I wanted it to be great, so it let me down too. Gorillaz put in a weak effort. So many of my favorite bands released albums in 2010 and really disappointed me with what they released. In contrast, bands I didn't care too much for like MGMT and Beach House put out spectacular albums. And with a l;ittle more room, Best Coast and Wavves would have made my top albums, both fantastic records!
