I loved that Four Tet when it came out, but I don't listen to it that much anymore....the only other one I've heard is Franz Ferdinand...so, Four Tet.

I really like all these albums except the Jens Lekman which I've never heard.

I'm a bit surprised that this is in the lead over Franz Ferdinand.

I don't know if I'd go that far. FF was a party record and it certainly got it's share of spins in my world but I probably haven't pulled it out in forever. I still pull out that PJ Harvey record.

It's the record that got me into her and looking into her back catalog. Just a solid record even if I usually skip "Kamikaze". To me it just sounds like she's comfortable in what she does by that point. Less experimental and abrasive, more straight forward and clear in what she is trying to say.

Not very shocking though IMO. That record topped many a year end list.
