Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
"Complex and dangerously catchy, lyrically sophisticated and provocative, noisy and somehow serene, Wilco's aging new album is simply a masterpiece; it is equally magnificent in headphones, cars and parties.... No one is too good for this album; it is better than all of us." -Pitchfork

Radiohead- In Rainbows
"It's true that we've come to expect a certain level of genius from this band, but when they actually exceed expectations, as they do here, it's a clear sign that Radiohead will continue to reinvent themselves and drop more jaws along the way." -NOW Magazine

Arcade Fire- Funeral
""Funeral" is the sort of perfectly-realised record you'd hope from a band at the top of their game. For a debut release it's unmatched in recent years. Hearing it is to wake from a black and white slumber and to view the world in widescreen Technicolour." -DotMusic

Sufjan Stevens- Come on Feel the Illinoise
"From its framing gimmick and its anti-folk folk songwriting to its he-has-to-be-kidding song titles and its show-offy instrumentation, Illinois should reduce to a simple stunt performance. That it's pop-art of the highest caliber, instead, cements Stevens as one of the most vital voices in music today." -Slant Magazine

Animal Collective- Merriweather Post Pavilion
"MPP had aura to burn long before most of us heard it, but now those of us who have heard it and do love it know that this music will not be content to stand idle on the margins of tuneless hype. Time may very well lend Merriweather Post Pavilion a legend extraordinary enough to faithfully capture its myriad treasures." -No Ripcord
