The first 4 are great, 5 is average, 12 is ok, and 15 is solid. List gets minus points for Kings of Leon and My Morning Jacket however.

portishead album is slightly overrated. I can dig most of this list. It's not a typical list to see, ie. James Blackshaw, Stephen Malkmus.

Kings of Leon and My Morning Jacket should not be on this list.

I like the Elbow album quite a lot, it will probably end up in my top 10 for the year, and Third and Dear Science, are alright. The rest I don't like, don't know, or don't care about.
