While I know this is a Jacket forum, I'm surprised how many people have Circuital in their top-5.  IMO, it's nowhere near my top-5 for this year.  Right now, albums that I am considering for my top-5 include (but not in order):

- The War on Drugs - Slave Ambient
- Bon Iver - Bon Iver
- The Antlers - Burst Apart
- PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
- M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
- Smith Westerns - Dye it Blonde
- The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Belong
- Thee Oh Sees - Carrion Crawler/The Dream
- Wilco - The Whole Love

Your surprised the interweb's biggest MMJ fans like Cirtuital a lot?  ::)
