I'm pretty big on every song on the record, even the trio of ballads at the end that no one ever seems to talk about.

Fantastic sentence :-)

The rest is compressed brilliance
I heard Surfjan for the first time today. It was as underwhelming as I'd expected.

Uh, me too, but I'd like to think that that's not the only reason I like Sufjan so much. Robyn has some really good songs ("Be Mine" is the clear standout here), but sorry, Illinois > Robyn.

Actually, there's a lot more >'s to go, I just got a little tired of leaning on that key.

The new Fiona Apple CD is crap, though, Matthew.
But anyway, ROBYN -- 8.2 was definitely too low. And it's a serious issue, because Pitchfork readers only seem to flock to mega-ratings -- and WHY DID THIS NOT GET A MEGA-RATING. While I'm content to yell about this album to an indie-rock brick wall, veryone would love this album if it was hip.

PFM gives out a gazillion reviews in the 7-8.4 range. Thus, if an album is in a genre you don't normally listen to (eg: pop), and it gets one of those generic 'pretty good' ratings, I can't imagine someone going out of their way to hear it. If it rates a 9.7, say, there's something compelling there - "maybe this is actually good and worth hearing, even if I don't normally like that stuff".

I remember hearing local radio playing a poppers o'clock remix of the sad cover and feeling it was possibly the most redundant piece of music ever - just play the original!

honey has aged really well. i know it's only 5 years old but it kinda feels like a lifetime ago.

Check out the Song Exploder on the title song. Great to hear the patient, slow evolution of the track into one of her best.

Honey remains one of the best albums ever.
