I find the order that you put these records in to be rather refreshing. I'll be honest, when I perused the "best of 2008" lists of various respective magazines and websites back in December/January, I got increasingly more frustrated when everyone kept naming Bon Iver's "For Emma, Forever Ago" as the #1 album of the year - even though you and I both know that I loved that album
( ... )
You know, I'm very proud of this list actually... because it is the first one I've done where I rank albums in terms of how well I reacted to them (how "good" I think they are) in a descending fashion... with an lj-cut for the last ten!!! And I only included albums from 2008... which, is something I have never done in my best-of list. Overall, I think the order of them came in a flash of creative inspiration, much like light bulbs when writing... so it feels refreshed to me, too. I think it is a well-rounded scope of what I took and left throughout the year.
