Seanchan - One of the oddest albums from this cycle but certainly memorable. At least Ive not heard anything else quite like this. ALL BLACK EVERYTHING.

Sheep007 - I think this album is the fodder line, where everything below it I kinda dislike. I can't say I enjoyed the music - I know it's intended to make me uncomfortable and it succeeded! It's just difficult to justify ranking something I would actively choose not to listen to again any higher. The idea is awesome, and some of the stories are great, but it's not for me. I'm glad I listened to it once, but the second go through it took a lot to not skip through tracks.

Seanchan - One of the surprises of the cycle. Id heard nothing from Modest Mouse aside from Float On, so I wasnt quite sure what to expect. What I got was an album thats part catchy, part weird, but generally interesting most of the way through.

Sheep007 - This might be one of the most nothing albums I've ever listened to. If I were asked to present the most basic easy-listening rock band, I would probably pick these dudes.

Another #1 gets put into deep sleep. You did get clipping higher than I expected, so congrats on that Johnbobb! With only 8 rankers, the pull of a #1 ranking is pretty strong.

Even now, I'm still not sure I ranked Modest Mouse properly for myself. Based on what I usually enjoy, it should have been closer to the bottom of the top 10, and I was going to put it there after my re-listen. For whatever reason I did ANOTHER listen (I think via car stereo) and I decided that I did have it in the right spot...I think...
