I'm not linking to my name here, but this is my top ten.

1. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
2. Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary
3. The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs
4. Belle And Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
5. Arcade Fire - Funeral
6. Joanna Newsom - Ys
7. The Tough Alliance - A New Chance
8. Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer
9. Lift to Experience - The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads
10. Andrew Jackson Jihad - People That Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People in the World

I feel good about it. It's the same damn thing I've been posting here for years. After this, it gets fuzzy.

Damn Andrew, Los Angeles over Cosmogramma, that is an OG choice. Well done. And of course I like seeing Voodoo so high

Is Los Angeles not commonly considered to be better?

On Metacritic Los Angeles has an 81 while Cosmogramma has an 86.
On RYM Los Angeles has a 3.65 while Cosmogramma has a 3.64, but when you factor in RYM's weighting algorithm Cosmogramma places at #157 while Los Angeles places at only #215 on my custom-generated electronic albums of all time chart.

So basically when you look at the numbers people like them about the same but Cosmogramma has the slight edge.

My own opinion is of course that Cosmogramma is an enormous leap forward.

i hope y'all have heard 1983 as well? it's pretty good too. though i would say the Reset EP is by far the most underrated flylo release.

1983 is good, though I don't think it's nearly as good as LA or Cosmogramma
