I love all those bands, but: All Spoon's best albums came out between 1998-2007. Deerhunter had an incredible run from 2008-2013 but they ain't what they used to be. I may actually be growing to enjoy the National's 2010s output more than their 2000s output (which is crazy because Alligator and Boxer came out in the 2000s), but the new album is a dud and it spoiled their perfect run this decade. Whereas VW and Bon Iver each have three perfect albums this decade (preceded by their perfect debut albums from the prior decade). There you have it: An airtight objective argument!
"Harmony Hall" is superior but "This Life" definitely has a summer jam quality about it — and it's miles better than "Sunflower," which despite worming its way into my heart, is still annoying jam band shit
I have to admit I just went by Wikipedia on that one... as expressed last week, I am no metal expert, but I did listen to a lot of Deftones in middle school
