gettin bored of Climax doing so well in these already now BYE

thank god you managed to find the list coz i cba trying to RETYPE IT ALL.

 

that top 30 or so is amazing!! most i've felt in tune with them everrr (is that a good thing though???)

Is that Pitcfork?

Is there a reason why Metric's 'Synthetica' is completely ignored? It's pretty much brilliant from start to finish...?

Erm... because nobody else thinks it's much cop?

It is, though.

I've heard, like, four of those albums. Two are obvious and right next to each other. The others are Actress and Converge, the former isn't THAT great and the latter only because of a friend.
