zero Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 And of course Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is hands down the album of the year indie or otherwise.Passion Pit's EP Chunk of Change came out in '08 but shares the brilliant track Sleepyhead on it's full length (and lesser work) of this year Manners.

hamilton Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 And of course Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is hands down the album of the year indie or otherwise.Really? I must have listened to this about eight times now and while it doesn't suck, it certainly hasn't blown me away. Which is disappointing, because I thought I was going to love it.
