NPR is more willing to include artist outside the pop/rock genre and include both mainstream and indie. You can practically feel Pitchfork's disgust when they are forced to admit an album with mainstream acceptance was actually one of the best of the year. I can't get any jazz releases from Pitchfork.
Love This Giant may not be one of my favorites, but it contains probably my single favorite moment in a song. The apreggios midway through Lazarus are the guitar stylings Annie Clark stole from my dreams.
I guess I'll just get out and say it: Music is pretty much the only thing I can talk to my father about. When an album comes along that both of us can like and talk about, it's truly special to me.
Agreed about Come Home to Mama. I realized that my top 10 songs probably won't be from my top 10 albums. Persepina is definitely one of the top 10 songs of this year.
