Maybe the real problem is that I can't decide whether Writer's Block counts as a 2007 release and I didn't even listen to Kala because of a graph [earlboykins].

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is one, like Mirrored, that I appreciated as being good but didn't ever really get stuck in my head.

That's how I feel about everything after #6. I appreciate its goodness, but I didn't play the crap out of it like the first 6. Especially the first four.

i'm not done yet but your list looks a lot like mine, except caribou - andorra and menomena - friend and foe will probably be on there. granted, i liked kala so what do i know?

I haven't even heard Kala (or friend or foe) so what do I know?

I did like Andorra, but I didn't listen to it much and think I like Caribou better live than on record.

iTunes store claims Writer's Block came out in Feb of 07. Therefore, 2007!

That was its U.S. release date; I feel like I heard it in 2006 when it came out overseas.

you're putting way too much thought into this.

not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that.

I'm pretty much over it. But it is very confusing -- Pitchfork had it on their 2006 list, Rolling Stone has it on their 2007 list.
