How about a review of Fun's "Aim and Ignite"? That should be a four or five star rating easily. One of the best albums of the year, hands down!

Well maybe this is just me spining my indie loyalties, but what about Grant Hart's new album? Why doesn't anybody talk about it? This is BS! Isn't the reason I liked Spin in the first place because they knew how good Husker Du was? And yet not a word about this new album. Instead you guys parade whatever's hip, I mean I know Rolling Stone is way more into abiding by mainstream tastes by ALWAYS making love to whatever new U2 or Green Day album comes out (usually over polished and over produced) but alot of the time, spin is no better. Maybe I should just start reading Pitchfork instead, huh?
