The look on my face when I heard this album for the first time:

Yikes.
How many times can you jump the shark?
I thought myself and Rio Bravo were the only people on Stereogum who didn't love Obama, but you're just making us look bad...
Full Album stream is up at The New York Times:

It's hard to disagree with this unpopular statement. I mean, look at that album cover!
However, his music in Girls is incredible, so I'm okay with it.

Straight douchey indeed. Who wears this kind of overpriced nonsense?
I do love this picture of Amber though...damn...

"The abuse of stereo panning makes Madvillainy an almost painful aural experience..."
WHAT IN THEE FUCK???
Madvillainy is one of the greatest albums of all time, says me!
Nice warm & fuzzies.
Too bad the wars rage on without any end in sight. The century of total war has over, but this century isn't going much better so far.

I'm in the same boat, brother. Coroner's Gambit all the way for me...
This article inspired me to revisit some of the more recent stuff though, and it has been time well spent. "The Life of the World to Come" especially sounds a lot better than I remember.
Tough to see Coroner's Gambit lower than Transcendental Youth and The Life of the World to Come...yikes.
Thanks for doing this list though...I will be listening to Mountain Goats for the next 8 hours straight!
