Meh. I may give it a listen. But the only reason I would is for the BEA awards. Nothing from what I have heard from her has enthralled me.

But I think we are missing a bigger picture here...

WHY ARE ALL THESE 2011 ALBUMS SO HIGH ON THE OVERALL CHART!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

They're not that high, 2010 has 3 albums higher than the top one for 2011, which is only at 205.

2 of them deserve it though. High Violet is MAYBE top 500 material. But the other 2 I have no problem being in the top 150. Very Happy

No album in 2011 should be near the top 200 of all time. Kaputt is the only album I might put in the top 300.... Confused
