This week brought highly anticipated first listens to LPs by St. Vincent, Wilco, Neon Indian, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and we spent a chunk of time arguing about their relative merits. Ultimately the only thing we all agreed upon is that Jeff Tweedy should join the Black Eyed Peas. Take it away, winners:
THIS WEEK'S 10 HIGHEST RATED COMMENTS
| #10 | TheWastelander | Sep 3rd | Score:9 | |
I’m sure this has been said, but props to the editors for doing this feature. It brought the comments section back in a major way after they became closed with the site redesign. That section was always one of my favorite parts of the old Stereogum site, so thanks Scott. | |||

People call it tension, I call it repression. I feel like she needs to let loose and get a little messy. Even the parts that are attempting to , feel rigid and overly calculated. There’s also something incredibly cold about her voice. She’s clearly a talented person and songwriter, her music just doesn’t ever hit at any emotional core. It’s like looking at everything through a window. | |||

I was in a crabby mood this week. Sorry all. Also, IRONICALLY my handle has no correlation to a love of Radiohead. It just sounded like a username that had to be made. | |||

This sounds like a clever ruse to get more thumbs up out of some extreme reverse psychology… I fell for it. You manipulative sonofabitch. | |||

| #1 | Chris Trash | Sep 2nd | Score:20 | |
Thanks Topknot, I really appreciate it, butnow I feel overrated and one thing Stereogummers hate is things that are overrated. Let me be the first to start the backlash: Chris Trash sucks, I saw him commenting In Yahoo OMG, mainstream a-hole. Chris Trash unironically likes Uffie. Chis Trash made a long pointless reply comment about himself, what an ego…. and so forth. | |||
