Just can't agree that Folie A Deux is the best of the year, while Death Cab only gets an honorable mention. And it's on the list for best artwork? Wtf? I'd say disappointing in both categories.
My taste probably aligns with yours Joe. Don't think YMA6 deserves to be on the list but it was a good album. So happy to see The Years Gone By as I love the album.
